The document summarizes the state of water and wastewater infrastructure in Miami-Dade County. It outlines that the county has aging infrastructure in need of improvements, including 3 water treatment plants, 100 wells, nearly 8,000 miles of pipes, and 3 wastewater treatment plants. A 2012 report identified $1.1 billion in critical projects needed. Regulatory requirements from the EPA and state legislation adding further needs. The county's capital plan for FY 2013-2019 outlines $12.6 billion for water and wastewater projects to address deficiencies and meet regulatory mandates. Major drivers are aging infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and an EPA consent decree.

infrastructure
• In July 2012, report transmitted to the Board
• Report identified:
– Critical water and sewer projects
– $1.1 Billion estimated cost to implement
 $364.2 Million Water
 $736.1 Million Wastewater
– Funding needs

5. Regulatory Requirements
• Federal Clean Water Act
(EPA Consent Decree)
• State 2008 Ocean
Outfall Legislation
• 20-Yr Water Use Permit

6. EPA Consent Decree
• Implementation of capital projects in 15 years, at a
cost of about $1.6 billion
• Development of Capacity, Management, Operation,
and Maintenance (CMOM) Procedures to ensure
compliance with Clean Water Act
• Implementation of a Supplemental Environmental
Project for $2.047 million

7. State Ocean Outfall Legislation
• Bill passed in the 2008 Session requires:
 July 1, 2013, submit implementation plan to FDEP
 Reduce nutrients out to the ocean
 December 31, 2025, stop using outfall and implement 60%
reuse
• On April 24, 2013, the Governor signed an amendment
to the bill that saves WASD approximately $1 Billion
by:
 Allowing wet weather flows to continue going out the outfall (up
to 5% of the flow)
 Giving credit for reuse at other facilities (WASD/FPL 90 MGD
reuse project)
