The second integrated water phase of the project involves 172 acres of constructed treatment wetlands. This phase addresses dehydration experienced in the original treatment wetland by supplying additional water and providing increased treatment volume. The design reconfigures the original wetland’s cells, adds additional treatment wetlands, and adds highly treated reclaimed water for infiltration and stabilization of wetland hydroperiods. To eliminate the need to remove dirt from the site and control project costs, a 50-foot hill in the shape of Florida was designed to provide a scenic vista of the 363-acre property. Another benefit of the project is an increase in the stormwater system capacity, which will reduce localized flooding conditions.

The completed project will provide beneficial reuse of an estimated three million gallons of water per day (MGD) and an annual net reduction of 7,620 pounds of total nitrogen and 2,280 pounds of total phosphorus.
