Barratta Creek – Constructed Wetland
Fire Access and Fire Trail Upgrade | Review of Environmental Factors | Ecological Assessment Plan | Design Documentation
Overview
AWC was engaged to transform an existing borrow pit into a treatment wetland to reduce nitrates and sediment reaching the reef from farm land. The borrow pit was reconfigured to include a sediment basin and extended flow
path. The design slows irrigation runoff, settling sediments, then uses dense vegetation to remove nutrients. Clean water is released downstream after treatment and can be re-purposed for irrigation.
