Vegetative buffer strips have been demonstrated to effectively reduce loads of sediment, nutrients, and herbicides in surface runoff, but their effectiveness for reducing veterinary antibiotic loads in runoff has not been well documented. Surface runoff simulation where performed to determine the effectiveness of Vegetative buffer strips vegetation and width on surface runoff loads of the veterinary antibiotics sulfamethazine and lincomycin. The three datasets in this release document 1. physical and chemical soil properties for soil located on experimental vegetated buffer strip plots prior to surface runoff simulations; 2. Rainfall simulator performance data and antecedent soil water content data for all vegetated buffer strip plots during the surface runoff simulations; and 3. Surface water hydrology data collected for determining veterinary antibiotic residue load concentrations and suspended sediment load concentrations in all vegetated buffer strip plots during rainfall simulations.

These five datasets document 1. physical and chemical soil properties for mesocosm soil that was collected from an experimental vegetated buffer strip plot; 2. Corrected final data for veterinary antibiotic target compound residues in treated soil mesocosms at various incubation times; 3. Corrected final data for all veterinary antibiotic target compound residues in untreated soil mesocosm blank samples at various incubation times; 4. Corrected final data for estrogen target compound residues in treated soil mesocosms at various incubation times; and 5. Corrected final data for all estrogen target compound residues in untreated soil mesocosm blank samples at various incubation times.

Chemical and biological results, quality assurance and quality control, and method information from groundwater, surface water, and litter samples, collected from nine locations in Iowa and one in Wisconsin in 2016. Thirteen groundwater, nine surface water, four poultry litter, and four QA/QC samples were collected. Samples were analyzed at U.S. Geological Survey laboratories; bacteria, pathogens, and antibiotic resistance genes at the Michigan Bacteriological Research Laboratory, F+ specific coliphage at the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center, hormones and antibiotics at the Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory, nutrients at the National Water Quality Laboratory, total estrogenicity at Fish Health Laboratory.
