Purpose:

The Goal of this restoration project was to improve existing stormwater discharge management programs in the city of South Daytona, Volusia County by constructing a treatment wetland in an existing diversion pond off an outfall canal that drains the urban areas of Daytona Beach and South Daytona into the Halifax River. Project objectives were: (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 aspects of the current system by adding native submerged and emergent wetland plants to the drainage area of an existing system. (3) Educate residents about what they can do to reduce the impacts of stormwater discharges on the Halifax River, Florida.
