Phosphorous characterization in sediments impacted by septic effluent at four sites in central Canada / by L. Zanini, W.D. Robertson, C.J. Ptacek, S.L. Schiff and T. Mayer.: En13-5/97-141E-PDF

"Characterization of phosphorous (P) enriched solids was undertaken in the sediments below four mature septic system infiltration bed where previous monitoring of water table phosphate (PO₄) concentrations had indicated that substantial retention of P was occurring in the vadose zone. At each site, zones of P enrichment were identified by acid extraction of the sediments. Acid extractable sediment P concentrations were found to be 2-5 times higher than background values, within narrow discrete zones generally 10-30 cm in thickness, located within one meter of the infiltration pipes … "--Executive summary, page i.
