The Caloosahatchee River Estuary Storage and Treatment (CREST) project provides a connection between the Bedman Creek and Carlos Waterway Drainage basins to allow for real-time basin management to direct stormwater away from the most impacted basin. Additionally, a BMP treatment train system, which includes a planted circuitous treatment marsh, shallow and deep lakes, planted wide swamps, marsh areas and created uplands, results in nutrient removal.
