Capstone; [FULL-TEXT FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE] Kerriann E. Laubach is a member of the Class of 2013 of Washington and Lee University. This study aims to determine whether point source water pollution from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) changes the quantity and quality of specific nitrogen-cycling river sediment microbial communities in order to evaluate the ecosystem-level effects of WWTP outflow.
