Barstow Community College is pursuing funding to set up a pilot project in conjunction with San Bernardino County in which members would grow and harvest algae to clean up contaminated water and create biofuel in the process.

Under the proposal, members from groups like the Urban Youth Conservation Corps would get 345 hours of training and would then operate the algae farm, collect and analyze the data, BCC spokeswoman Maureen Stokes said.

The project would monitor the success of the algae in eating contamination from nitrate-laden groundwater from the Soapmine Road area in Barstow and from chromium 6-polluted groundwater in Hinkley, she said.
