Bonita Springs, FL protects the Imperial River from algae blooms with Felts Avenue Bioreactor

Bonita Springs, FL Felts Avenue Bioreactor Algae Blooms

Complete

The downtown bioreactor gathers stormwater from surrounding areas for filtration. Underground channels filled with wood chips and pea gravel naturally remove nitrogen from water as it enters the Imperial River. City officials built a large parking lot on top of the bioreactor for multiple uses of valuable real estate. Initial testing of the Felts Avenue Bioreactor found up to 98% of nitrates were removed from filtered water.
