"COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Researchers are studying ways to control the rush of
nitrogen and other chemicals that flow into the Mississippi River watershed
each spring and ultimately turn more than 7,000 square miles of the Gulf of
Mexico into a "dead zone."
Hypoxia caused by high levels of nitrogen fertilizer, which creates algae
blooms, which in turn consumes most of the disolved oxygen in the water.
Here is a map of the region affected by Hypoxia.

So the Arcology could be placed very near the mouth of the Mississippi
River, and construct it to allow water to flow through the structure, where
plants feeding the arcology could absorb some of the excessive nitrogen.
