The Town of Kearny is facing unprecedented algae contamination in Kearny Lake Park, a key recreation area in the local community. Residents and visitors rely on Kearny Lake for walking, fishing, birding, boating, and more. However, due to aging infrastructure and land use change, Kearny Lake is experiencing rapid algal growth that is negatively impacting wildlife in and around the lake. Therefore, the Town seeks the development of an environmental plan to revitalize the lake and guide sustainable use for the future. Students from ERM 494/598 Algal Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering developed strategies and propose a revitalization plan to improve the environmental health of Kearny Lake.
