• Management Practice Effects on Nitrate-N Concentrations in the LVR – determine affect of changing N applications on Nitrate concentrations from subsurface drainage – C-FAR – 1995-1998.
• Best Management Practices for Controlling Field-to-Stream Delivery of Agrochemicals: Field Validation in the Little Vermilion River Watershed - sub-project of the Little Vermilion River Water Quality Project, USDA Hydrologic Unit Area Project - sub-surface drainage systems, filter strips, surface runoff, river stations, and wetland are monitored for nitrate and pesticides - CES and SCS,USDA - 1990-1995; extended to 1996-1999.
• Agricultural Practices for Water Quality Improvement - Illinois Groundwater Consortium, 1992-1993 and special grant from Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, 1992 - allowed the research program of previous description to be expanded to more sub-surface drainage systems and monitoring on the main stream, and ensured equipment to monitor filter strips and wetlands.
• Use of Landfarming to Remediate Soil Contaminated with Pesticides and Fuels - determined the effects of landfarming pesticide comtaminated soil on the quality of surface runoff and shallow groundwater - Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources - 1990-1992.

• Assessment of Best Management Practices for Controlling Runoff of Pesticides from Cropland - Water Resources Center, Ill. Agr. Expt. Sta. and Ill. Natural History Survey - 1984-1987 - determine the effectiveness of tillage, contouring, pesticide placement, and pesticide formulation in controlling loss of insecticides and herbicides from cropland.
