Brady Ranch & Grassy Island: Two flow equalization basins
(FEBs) located on District-owned properties that will capture
peak stormwater flows and assist in hydrating adjacent STAs
for improved nutrient removal. Design is underway and
construction is expected to commence in 2025.
S-191 Innovative Technology Treatment: Nutrient load reduction
project to remove phosphorus from the S-191 Basin before it
enters Lake Okeechobee. Design was recently completed, and
the project is expected to be operational in 2023.
Kissimmee Headwaters Revitalization Schedule: Continued
development of the revised regulation schedule is for the
restored portion of the Kissimmee River. Final schedule is
anticipated in 2026.
Taylor Creek Nubbin Slough (TCNS) 214 Storage and
Treatment: Capture and attenuate excess stormwater from
Williamson Ditch into a shallow water storage feature.
Planning and design began in 2022.

Total flow into the Caloosahatchee River Estuary was
1.998 million acre-feet (ac-ft) in WY2022, 10% lower
than WY2021.
Total Nitrogen loading to the Caloosahatchee Estuary in
WY2022 was 3,074 metric tons (t); 17% lower than
WY2021 and bringing the 5-year average to 3,578 t.
Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the upper and
middle estuary remained low in WY2022. The lower
estuary had substantially greater spatial extent,
abundance, and diversity of seagrass with Thalassia
testudinum the most prevalent in WY2022 (right).
Oyster densities were measured biannually (fall and
spring) at the Iona Cove and Bird Island sites. Oyster
densities increased at both sites in WY2022, especially
during the dry season. ThalassIncreasing Water Storage in the Caloosahatchee River Watershed
