The Everglades Construction Project of the South Florida Water Management District (District) will employ large constructed wetlands known as Stormwater Treatment Areas (STAs) to reduce phosphorus concentrations in runoff entering the Everglades. The District built and operated a prototype STA, the 1,545 ha Everglades Nutrient Removal Project (ENRP), to determine the efficacy of subtropical wetlands for improving regional water quality with a focus on reducing total phosphorus (TP). In five years of operation, the ENRP has consistently exceeded its performance goals of TP outflow concentrations <50 μg P/L and a 75% TP load reduction. Since August 1994, the ENRP has retained 70.3 metric tons of TP that otherwise would have entered the Everglades. When corrected for surface area and inflow TP load, TP removal efficiency was highest in the inflow buffer cell and decreased generally in a downstream fashion through the wetland. High TP removal efficiency in treatment cell 4 was attributed to superior performance of its submerged aquatic vegetation community relative to the emergent and floating macrophyte community in the other cells. Controlled experiments in the District's STA Optimization Research Program will help clarify what effect vegetation and operational conditions may have on nutrient removal in the STAs.
