Since its commissioning at the Fisherville Mill Canal in Grafton, Mass. in 2012, the combined technologies of an Eco-Machine™ with a mycelial loop and Canal Restorer have treated over 300,000 gallons of petroleum-contaminated waters and sediment. The system is remediating 95% of the hydrocarbons left behind by 200 years of industrial abuse.
The LSL facility is a unique and living example of the power of the ecological design. Today we are in possession of an incredible resource and opportunity to use this site as a teaching landscape. The project is building a bridge between a toxic legacy and a healthy, abundant world.
The two-day workshop includes classroom learning led by Dr. John Todd, internationally recognized pioneer in ecological wastewater treatment, on the principles of ecological design and the history of his groundbreaking work. The workshop also includes hands-on instruction in the construction of the Canal Restorer. Learn how to build this ecological technology that digests sediment and metabolizes excess nutrients and contaminants. Restorers bring the dynamic ecological cycles back into balance within ponds, lakes and canals challenged by heavy nutrient loading, stormwater runoff and leaching pollutants.
Aquatic Restorers are excellent solutions for both natural and man-made water bodies, including public and private ponds, golf courses, parks and urban canals.
