This 2014 technical briefing describes a 2011 pond pilot study that applied ~2,000 lb of biochar to a floodplain pond cell and monitored surface water, pore water, sediment, benthic invertebrates, tadpoles, and young-of-year fish through 2014. Results show lower filtered Hg and MeHg in amended surface water and reduced MeHg in several biota, with no observed adverse benthic effects.

Review Notes :
Document is titled a 'Technical Briefing Paper' and presents monitoring results through 2014; I classified it as a Technical Report. The PDF shows a barrier breach (Dec 2011–Jan 2012) and a flooding event (May 2013) that the authors note likely affected segregation of cells and results.
