Abstract:

Water quality (salinity, TKN, TSS, NH3, NO3, PO4, temperature, DO, pH, Turbidity) was monitored monthly from December 2017 through September 2019 from three locations (infall, center, and outfall) of a stormwater treatment pond (Rinker's Pond) constructed using funds from the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program and Volusia County. The monitoring was conducted by Bethune-Cookman University students funded by NOAA-CCME. Rinker's Pond is located in South Daytona, Florida.

Purpose:

The Goal of this restoration project is to improve existing stormwater discharge management programs in the city of South Daytona in eastern Volusia County by constructing a treatment wetland in an existing diversion pond of an outfall canal that drains the urban Daytona Beach and South Daytona areas into the Halifax River. Project objectives are: (1) Retrofit existing Rinker’s Pond in the Reed Canal to increase stormwater treatment capacity from the stormwater before it drains to Halifax River. (2) Enhance water and habitat quality aspect to the current system by adding native submerged and emergent wetland plants to drainage area of an existing system. (3) Educate residents about what they can do to reduce impacts of stormwater discharges on Halifax-IRL.

Data Parameters and Units:

Period (pre, dur, post: pre-construction, during construction, post-contruction of the treatment wetlad); Location (Loc, inf, cent, outf; infall, center, and outfall locations of the stormwater treatment pond); Time (sample collection time); Tide (tide-low, intermediate low, intermediate high, high); Rainfall (mm); Date (mm/dd/yyyy); Salinity (ppt); TKN (mg/L), TSS (mg/L); NH3 (mg/L); NO3 (mg/L); PO4 (mg/L); Temperature (degrees in Celsius); DO (mg/L), DO (% saturation), pH, Turbidity (NTU)

Methods:

The full methods are described in the attached QAPP.
