• 10/1/14 Poor syntax in this paper! -> 1)The Columbia treatment wetlands improve the quality of the water, but discharge to the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area,which in turn discharge to the river. 2)The Columbia wetlands were approved and constructed in accordance with the City’s desire to provide needed secondary treatment, plus a small measure of advanced treatment, plus a greenspace amenity, plus beneficial reuse of the water at Eagle Bluffs. This sentance just made me laugh: 3) The wildlife benefits provided by the Columbia wetland are counterbalanced by the problem of sediment disturbance attributable to waterfowl, and, more seriously, by damage caused by an overabundance of muskrats ( Ondatra zibethica ).
