Project Description
The project will conduct a feasibility study and, if determined to be feasible, develop 30% engineering and design, permitting components, and planning stages necessary to convert a 240-acre agricultural tract into constructed wetlands through which Petronila Creek would be diverted. Water would be drawn from the creek and pass through the wetlands for water quality improvements before being returned to the creek.
