Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District Community Treatment Wetland and Climate Resiliency Project
The Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) Community Treatment Wetland and Climate Resiliency Project will create a nature-based solution that integrates a freshwater treatment wetland and horizontal levee within an approximately 100-acre area, located in central Solano County. The conceptual design for this project will be developed through a grant from the U.S. EPA’s Water Quality Improvement Fund along with matching funds from Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District.
Project Goals
The FSSD Community Treatment Wetland and Climate Resiliency project will:
- Develop initial design documents for a nature-based solution to reduce nitrogen discharge from a community of 150,000 residents, enhance native habitat in the Suisun Marsh, and address future conditions to model a scalable solution for the city, county, and Bay Area; and
- Benefit thousands of residents and businesses in Solano County by integrating public access with walking trails and educational opportunities.
Project Updates
This project is currently on hold until new funding and a lead agency are identified.
