INTRODUCTION
In July 1970, the Governor of Florida and the Florida Department
of Air and Water Pollution Control reaueste.cLassistance from the Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Water Quality (formerly Federal Water Quality
Administration, IISDI) in determining the water pollution abatement require-
ments for Dade County, Florida. A Federal-State Enforcement Conference
held on October 20, 21 and 22, 1970, made the following recommendations:
1. Pollution of the navigable waters in and adjacent to Dade County,
Florida, including the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and tributaries thereto,
which endangers health and welfare of persons, is occurring and is subject
to abatement under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. This pollution
is caused by discharges from numerous municipal, domestic, and industrial
sources within Dade County.
2. Measures taken to abate this pollution have been inadequate.
3. The nature of delays being encountered in pollution abatement
are: complexity of the problem; lack of effective planning; financing
and enforcement of pollution control law; and lack of a commitment by
the community to meet the pollution problem and abate it.
4. The fletropolitan Dade County Commission shall present a master
plan for abatement of pollution from all sources in Dade County to the
conferees, through the State of Florida, by November 1, 1971. This plan
is to be in a form acceptable for certification under applicable State and
Federal laws and regulations. The plan is to contain sufficient detail so
that all significant sources are identified. The plan is to include a
time schedule for construction with interim dates for arrangement of financing,
1
-------
2
preparation of preliminary plans and specifications, preparation of final
plans and specifications, award of contracts, and initiation and operation
of remedial facilities.
5. The cessation of all waste discharges into the inland canal system
of Dade County, Florida, shall he accomplished as rapidly as possible but
not later than January 1, 1973.
(>. A minimum of secondary treatment, providing at least 90 percent
1501) removal and year-round chlorination of the effluent, shall be provided
for all waste, as required by the State of Florida before discharge to the
ocean, as rapidly as possible but not later than January 1, 1974.
7. All new construction shall be connected to adequate sewage collec-
tion and treatment systems. The conferees will meet not later than February
1, 1971, to consider the question of Dade County's building permit program
with a view toward controlling additional pollution sources while the
Dade County pollution abatement program is under design and construction.
It is expected that the Dade Countv Metropolitan Commission will be prepared
to present their action program to the conferees at that time which will
satisfactorily meet this problem, including a program for the elimination
of septic tanks in all urban areas of Dade County.
8. Additional waste discharges to Lower Biscayne Ray, including the
Biscayne National Monument, and its tributaries shall be prohibited. This
same prohibition shall apply to discharges to canals in Dade County which
drain to the Everglades National Park. Removal of existing municipal and
industrial waste discharges from these waters shall be accomplished as
rapidly as possible but not later than January 1, 1974.
-------
3
9. All wastes from vessels used as domiciles or business establish-
ments shall be discharged to onshore facilities. The Corps of Engineers
is requested to report to the conferees by February 1, 1971, on its program
for removing abandoned hulks, debris, and other obstructions to navigation
in the Miami River.
10. An invQjiJory of all municipal and industrial waste sources within
Dade County, Florida, shall be initiated immediately by the Federal Water
QualitvJ\dministration in cooperation with the State of Florida and local
officials, and a report shall be made to the conferees by April 1, 1971.
11. A technical committee comprised of the Federal Water Quality
Administration, the State of Florida, and the Dade County Pollution Officer
shall lie established to develop, in cooperation with other Federal, State,
and local agencies, a regional water quality management plan for the
conservation and reuse of the waters of Dade County. This committee shall
report to the conferees as to its progress and future plans by November 1, 1971.
Pursuant to Recommendation If), an inventory and evaluation of municipal
and industrial waste sources was conducted between November 28, 1970, and
February 2, 1971, The present report together with Technical Appendicies
are the result of that study.
A second session of the Federal-State Enforcement Conference held
on February 18 and 19, 1971 made the following recommendations:
Recommendations 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 11 remain unchanged.
The recommendations which were modified are as follows:
4. The Metropolitan Dade County Commission's interim reports on the
development of an updated master plan for Dade County to the Conferees
-------
4
on February 18 and 19, 1971, indicate general progress. On April 13, 1971,
the County Manager's Office will bring an interim progress report to the
attention of the Conferees. A report on the upgrading and expansion of the
Virginia Key Plant will also be furnished to the Conferees by April 13, 1971.
7. The Metropolitan Dade County Commission's response to Recommenda-
tion 7 concerning building and occupancy permit approval is vague and non-
conclusive. To insure compliance with the recommendation, the Conferees
reouire interim reports from the Dade County Pollution Control Officer.
The first report is to be furnished by April 13, 1971, as to progress
and problems in this vital area of concern and bi-monthly thereafter.
8. Additional waste discharges to Lower Biscayne Bay, including the
Biscavne National Monument, and its tributaries shall be prohibited. This
same prohibition shall apply to discharges to canals in Dade County which
drain to the Everglades National Park. Removal of existing municipal and
industrial waste discharges from these waters shall be accomplished as
rapidly as possible but not later than January 1, 1974. The Conferees
recognize technical problems associated with Recommendation 8. The City of
Homestead should instruct its engineers to prepare feasibility studies on
disposal of treated waste effluent to the subsurface through deep well
injection. Other alternatives should also be considered with the Department
of Air and Water Pollution Control.
The County in cooperation with the U. S. Geological Survey and the
Environmental Protection Agency should actively monitor the General
Waterworks deep well system at Snapper Creek Plant. The information
-------
obtained from the operation of this deep well injection system will be of
fundamental guidance to the disposal of treated wastes in Dade County and
should be made available to the Conferees on a bimonthly basis beginning
April 13, 1971.
9. All wastes from vessels used as domiciles or business establishments
shall be discharged to onshore facilities. However, the Conferees take
cognizance of the regulations controlling such discharges which are
currently being developed by EPA and will modify this provision accordingly
when the regulations become effective. The Corps of Engineers is requested
to report to the Conferees by April 13, 1971, on its program for continuing
the removal of abandoned hulks, debris, and other obstructions to naviga-
tion in the Miami River.
10. Based on the inventory completed to date, the following waste-
water treatment plants must be cited as being in violation of State and
County standards:
Riverdale Estates Carol City Utilities
Andover Subdivision Community Utilities
Doral Country Club Atomic Sewerage
Miami Lakes Utilities South Miami Heights
Southern Estates Utilities Little Abner's Trailer Park
Leisure City Utilities Pan American Hospital
Peninsular Utilities
The Dade County Pollution Control Officer will report back to the Conferees
on remedial action taken towards compliance witli State and County standards
by April 13, 1971. Additionally, the Water Quality Office will continue
its inventory and analyses of municipal and industrial sources and will
give a final report with recommendations to the Conferees on April 13, 1971.

Restaurant and Sea Glades Motel do not provide 90% reduction of
either ROD or TSS. Total flow is 0.246 MGD.
Minor treatment plants handle less than 1% of Dade County's
sewage flow. Only 22 minor plants have licensed operators or are
operated by licensed consultants. Most minor plants have some
operational difficulty which contributes to poor treatment
efficiency. Small plants require a disproportionally large amount
of labor and maintenance.
Major and minor wastewater treatment plants contribute the
following waste loads to the waters of Dade County:
* Snake Creek Canal drainage area: 1,622 lbs/day BOD, 1,616
lbs/dav TSS, 7.04 MGD.
" Biscayne Canal and Little River drainage area: 366 lbs/day
BOD, 407 lbs/day TSS, 1.142 MGD.
* Miami River drainage area: 155 lbs/day BOD, 292 lbs/day TSS,
n.69 MGD.
* Coral Gables Waterway drainage area: 267 lbs/day TOD,
588 lbs/dav TSS, 2.62 MGD.
* Snapper Creek Canal drainage area: 1,824 lbs/day BOD,
2,303 lbs/dav TSS, 5.986 MGD.
* Black Creek Canal drainage area: 862 lbs/day BOD, 2,270
lbs/day TSS, 3.53 MGD.
* South Bay Area drainage area: 586 lbs/day BOD, 989 lbs/day
TSS, 3.21 MGD.
* Atlantic Ocean or Biscayne Bay drainage area: 54,175 lbs/day
BOD, 48,588 lbs/dav TSS, 77.1 MGD.
Industrial Waste Sources
An initial list of over 1,800 industries was systematically
-------
reviewed and evaluated. No industrial discharges were sampled.
Rather, a list of the 89 most significant industrial waste sources
was compiled and reports were prepared as a guide to further work.
Fifteen industries discharge to surface waters, 36 to ground
water ;tnd 38 to municipal sewer systems.
Industrial discharges to ground and surface water in and
adjacent to the Hialeah-Miami Springs well field contains toxic
substances, heavy metals, oil and petroleum derivatives, acids, alkalies,
suspended solids and oxygen demanding materials.
Rule 7 of the Dade County Commission provides for the control
of industrial waste discharges into municipal seiver systems.
Conclusions based on the findings of this study are:
1. Municipal wastes are contaminating the waters of Dade County.
2. -Twe&fcfcgne^^^nt "('211T) of the municipal waste volume from
3(d
Dade County receives inadequate treatment and J334s¥eeeives no
treatment.
3. Small plants require disproportionally high labor and
maintenance and in that respect are less efficient than
larger conventional treatment plants.
4. Closing Carol City, Myrtle Grove and Miami Lakes plants
without providing alternative treatment will increase the
overall waste discharge load.
5. Industrial waste discharges are contaminating the waters of
Dade County.
6. Industrial wastes may be contaminating the Miami Springs-
Ilialeah well field.
7. Industrial wastes may have a detrimental effect on the performance
of sewage treatment systems.
-------
12
8. Further study of industrial waste sources is needed to,
determine the full extent and nature of pollution from
these sources.*
* Industrial waste survey completed in June 1971.
-------
RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to recommendations made at previous conferences,
it is further recommended that:
1. By January 1, 1974, a regional collection and treatment system
to serve all waste sources in Dade County be in operation to ensure
secondary treatment of all wastes, with removal efficiencies of not less
than 1)0 percent, and with discharge of treated effluents to the
Atlantic Ocean, at the edge of the Gulf Stream.
2. Environmental Protection Agency make a study of existing
ocean outfalls and the coastal zone with a view toward recommending
more detailed ocean disposal criteria. Preliminary disposal guidelines
are to be reported to the Conferees by July 1, 1972.
3. Notwithstanding recommendation 1 above, no existing treat-
ment facility should be abandoned when such action will result in a
lower overall treatment efficiency. Rather the treated effluent
should be discharged to the ocean outfall system until an adequate
regional treatment system is provided.
4. All wastes being discharged through North Miami and Miami
Beach ocean outfalls be given secondary treatment with removal efficiencies
of not less than 90 percent by January 1, 1974.
5. The City of Miami, Virginia Key plant be upgraded to provide
a BODt- and total suspended solids removal efficiency of 90 percent. The
plant be expanded to provide additional flow capacity, and the existing
ocean outfall be extended to the edge of the Gulf Stream.
13
-------
14
6. Minor plants which will remain in operation until
recommendation #1 is accomplished he required to:
a) Provide for leveling peak flows,
b) Provide multiple level digestion outlets,
c) Provide drains on all tanks to facilitate cleaning,
d) Provide and maintain reliable chlorine dosing equipment,
e) Provide and maintain flow meters,
f) Prohibit submersible pumps for feeding pressure filters,
g) Have licensed operators or be operated by licensed
consultants, and
h) Collect and report operational data to the Florida
Department of Air and Water Pollution Control.
-------
MAJOR MUNICIPAL WASTE SOURCES
Twenty-seven major municipal wastewater treatment plants and two
ocean outfalls were surveyed between November 28, 1970 and February 2, 1971.
The location of each facility is shown in Figure 1. Twgn^y—four-hour com-
j^sitc-s-amples were collected from influent and effluent^ each facility
using automatic samplers. Laboratory analyses were conducted on influent
and effluent for 5-dav biochemical oxygen demand (TOD^), chemical oxygen
demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), volatile suspended solids (VSS),
total organic carbon (TOC), and scttleable solids (SS). In addition, effluent
samples were analyzed for nitrogen compounds, total phosphorus, and
chlorides. Daily grab samples of the effluent after chlorination were
analyzed for chlorine residual, pi I, and total coliform bacteria and
fecal coliform bacteria. Temperature and pi I were measured in the field.
An inventory of major municipal wastewater sources is given in
Table 1. Design information was obtained from the plant management,and,'
where possible, laboratory results were discussed with plant operators.
Evaluation reports for each major waste source are included in Technical
Appendix I. (Separate publication)
Five plants were operating satisfactorily. Six plants were
hvdraulically overloaded, but removal efficiencies were affected in
only three of these plants. Flow meters malfunctioned in six plants;
seven did not provide adequate chlorination; five require additions to
or enlargement of treatment facilities.
Tables A-l through A-5 provide detailed information on average
influent and effluent concentrations, removal efficiencies, and effluent
loads for the various parameters. Table 2 is a summary of discharged
loads for each drainage basin. A discussion of significant problems
associated with the individual waste sources in each drainage area,

Snake Creek Drainage
The Andover wastewater treatment plant provided 841 reduction
of 1501)5 and 83 % reduction of total suspended solids. This plant
is hydraulically overloaded at peak flows because of infiltration in the
collection system. Scum and heavy foam from the aerators are carried
over into the nicrostrainer. Laboratory results vary widely, indicating
inconsistent operation.
Daily ROD removal efficiencies at the Carol City wastewater
treatment plant varied from 73.5 % to greater than 97.3 %y and
suspended solids removal efficiencies varied from 61.3 % to 91.5%.
Standard procedure was to operate only three of four mechanical aerators
in each aeration tank. Chlorination of the influent was practiced during
part of the survey. Analysis by plant personnel indicated inadequate
aeration when operating only three mechanical aerators and inadequate
settling in the secondary clarifiers. Pour mechanical aerators are
now reportedly operating in each aeration tank, and alum is introduced
prior to the secondary clarifiers to improve settling. No retesting
by liPA has been done nor is any anticipated.
The Riverdale listates wastewater treatment plant provided an average
of 85.65 reduction of T50D<. and 32.6% reduction of total suspended solids.
This plaiit received a strong waste --- 150D5 of 456 mg/1 and total suspended
solids of 369 mg/1. Chlorine residuals averaged 6.8 mg/1 and average pi I
of the effluent was 4.6 (excessive chlorination). Operating adjustments
should be made to compensate for the strong waste and reduce chlorination
to an effective level which will not alter the pi I.
-------

Although the Myrtle Grove wastewater treatment plant received
an estimated 0.25 MGD of industrial waste which in the past have
interfered with treatment, 90% ROD^ and suspended solids removals
were measured during the survey.

The Golden Isles waste treatment plant provided 82% and
B(>% removal of I'jOD and suspended solids, respectively. This
plant was hydraulically and organically overloaded. Designed for a
daily flow of 0.5 MGD and a ROD loading of 850 pounds per day, the
plant was receiving an average flow of 0.642 MGD and a load of 1,000
pounds per day.
The Country Club of Miami wastewater treatment plant provided 051
reduction of BOD^. A private laboratory reported 90% reduction
of total suspended solids in the mechanical treatment plant. Lower
Florida listuarv Study testing showed 85% reduction of TSS based on effluent
from the polishing pond. This difference is probably due to the growth
of algae in the pond.
The Palm Springs North wastewater treatment plant provided 93%
reduction of BOD and 98% reduction of total suspended solids from an
average daily flow of 0.45 MGD.
The Carol City and ffyrtle Grove plants are to be abandoned
in 1971, and their raw wastes diverted to the North Miami ocean outfall.
The BOD^ loading to Snake Creek will be reduced by approximately 800 pounds
per day, with proportionate reductions in other pollutants. Abandonment
of these treatment plants is inconsistent with the Conference
recommendation that a minimum of secondary treatment, with at least
90% HOD5 removal and year-round chlorination of effluent, be provided
all waste before discharge to the ocean. The North Miami discharge
has no treatment other than skimming. These two plants should remain
in operation with their treated effluent discharged through the ocean
outfall until other provisions for adequate treatment are made.
-------
19
Riscayne Canal and Little River Drainage
The Miami Lakes Utilities wastewater treatment plant removed 79.8%
1501") and 70.9% suspended solids. This plant received industrial wastes
from 21 industries in the Miami Lakes Industrial Park. At the time of
the survey, plant management had no assessment of the quality or quantity
of the industrial fraction. Subsequently, steps have been taken to improve
operations and to pretreat certain industrial wastes.
The Seaboard Industrial Park wastewater treatment provided an average
of 95% reduction of BOD5 and 95.2% reduction of total suspended
solids from a flow of 0.12 MGD.
The Opa Locka Airport wastewater treatment plant provided 82% reduction
of BOl)^ and 87 % reduction of total suspended solids from a flow of
0.18 MGD. The effluent carried no chlorine residual and bacteria
population densities averaged 640,000 per 100 ml of total coliform
bacteria and 155,000 per 100 ml of fecal coliform bacteria.
All three of these plants are to be abandoned and the raw waste
diverted to the North Miami outfall. Such action is inconsistent with
the Conference recommendation of a minimum of secondary treatment prior
to ocean disposal. These plants should remain in operation with their
treated effluent discharged to the ocean outfall until other provisions
for adequate treatment are made.
Miami River Drainage
The Atomic Sewerage plant has an activated sludge process designed to
process septic tank pump-out waste. Incoming waste strength averaged
1126 mg/1 BOD^ and 1,348 mg/1 TSS. Removal efficiency averaged 90%
for and 89% for total suspended solids.
-------
20
The Doral Country Club wastewater treatment plant provided 90% reduction
of and 57.6% reduction of total suspended solids. Treated effluent
flow into a lake on the Club property and was subsequently used to
irrigate the golf course. Dried sludge was used for fertilizer.
The Little Abner's Trailer Park wastewater treatment plant obtained
84% reduction of and 79% reduction of total suspended solids from
a flow of 72,000 gallons per day.
The Pan American Hospital wastewater treatment plant provided 97.8%
reduction of ROD,, and 60% reduction of total suspended solids. Erratic
suspended solids removal was caused by carryover of a floe formed in the
chlorine contact chamber after chlorination. Modifications to permit
chlorination prior to tertiary treatment were being made in an attempt
to correct this problem. No current information on the results of that
attempt are available.
Coral Gables Waterway Drainage
The Community Utilities wastewater treatment plant discharged
230 pounds per day BOD,, and 499 pounds per day suspended solids to the
Coral Gables waterway. A BODg reduction of 94.4% was being achieved. This
plant is to be abandoned, with the raw waste flowing to Virginia Key.
Snapper Creek Drainage
The Peninsular Utilities plant removed 89.5% BOD<. and 88.9% suspended
solids from a 2.5 MGD flow. In early 1971, the plant initiated a
deep-well injection system.
Low removal efficiencies by the Southern Estates wastewater treatment
plant (76.11 BOD5 and 69.7% suspended solids) was attributed to an
extreme hydraulic overload, (140% of design flow) . Excess flow was
-------
21
attributed to infiltration (verified by the low influent BOD^ concentration
of 134 mg/1). This problem can be corrected by either elimination of
infiltration, or expansion of treatment facilities.
The Westwood Lakes wastewater treatment plant removed 741 and 94.31 of
P>OD^ and suspended solids, respectively. Recent modifications to the
treatment process resulted in instability. No re-evaluation was done
nor is any planned.
Black Creek Drainage
The Cutler Ridge wastewater treatment plant removed 86.51
KOD5 and 73.81 suspended solids. Mechanical difficulties with a
secondary clarifier reduced average removal efficiencies.
The Bell Aire wastewater treatment plant removed 77.8% BOD,, and
89.5% suspended solids. Plans have been initiated to provide an activated
sludge unit, but have been suspended pending clarification of discharge
requirements.
The South Miami Heights wastewater treatment plant provided 91%
reduction of BOD^ and 85% reduction of total suspended solids. A
slug of waste from a sewer cleaning project was received at the outset
of the study, and this contributed to the poor solids removal. During
the last three days of the study, operation stabilized and removal
efficiencies were well above 90% for both BOD and TSS.
5
South Bay Drainage
The Homestead Air Force Base wastewater treatment plant was
hydraulically overloaded. Designed for 1.0 MGD, it receives approximately
2.5 MGD during winter and 3.0 MGD during summer. Removal efficiencies were
63.7% for BOD,, and 76.0% for suspended solids. Primary and secondary
-------
22
clarifiers are to be expanded and sand filters added.
The Citv of Homestead wastewater treatment plant provided 82.7%
reduction or BOD^ and 84.71 reduction of total suspended solids from
0.873 MGD. Although the effluent carried a chlorine residual, total
colifomi bacterial population densities of up to 130,000 per 100 ml
indicated incomplete disinfection.
The South Dade Farm Labor Camp wastewater treatment plant achieved
93.9% reduction of BOi)^ and 98.75 reduction of total suspended solids
from a flow of 0.126 MOD.
The Redlands Labor Camp wastewater treatment plant achieved the
highest treatment efficiency of all major plants with 96.6% reduction
of KOI)t- and 961 reduction of total suspended solids. The flow was
57,000 gallons per day. Influent waste strength was high with a BOL)^
of 969 ng/1 and TSS of 1,332 mg/1. The plant is a conventional
trickling filter system followed by a microstrainer. Effluent is discharged
to sand filters and returned to ground water.
The Leisure City wastewater treatment plant provided 86.8% reduction
of TOD and 81.2% reduction of total suspended solids from 0.296 MGD.
Direct Ocean Discharge
The City of Miami Virginia Key plant treated approximately 40 MGD
with a removal efficiency of approximately 80% HOD and 90% suspended solids
reduction. The plant, designed for 75% ROD,, reduction, should be upgraded
to provide 90% BOD,. and TSS removal and expanded to provide additional
flow capacity. The ocean outfall should be extended to the edge of the
Gulf Stream.
-------
23
The North Miami and Miami Beach ocean outfalls discharged approx-
imately 15 and 22 MC.D, respectively, of wastewater with limited
treatment (skimming). Ninety percent treatment recommended by the
Conferees would reduce the BOD,- loading by approximately 33,000
pounds per day.
-------
MINOR MUNICIPAL WASTE SOURCES
Forty-seven minor municipal waste sources were surveyed between
December 2, 1970 and February 2, 1971. Four additional plants were
inventoried but were not sampled because they were new installations
which had not reached operational stability. The location of each
plant is shown in Figure 2. Grab samples were collected from
influent and effluent and analyzed for 5-day biochemical oxygen
demand ,chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC),
total suspended solids (TSS), volatile suspended solids (VSS), and
scttleablc solids. Additionally, effluent samples were analyzed for
nitrogen compounds, total phosphorous and chloride. Temperature,
chlorine residual and flow were determined in the field.
An inventory of minor municipal plants is given in Table 3 and
a summary of analytical results is presented in Tables A-6 through
A-10. individual evaluation reports on each plant were prepared and
arc compiled in Technical Appendix 11.^ Plant performance was
considered satisfactory if 90% reduction of and TSS was provided.
Of the 47 minor wastewater treatment plants in Dade County, 21
plants discharged to the surface water and 26 plants discharged to the
ground. The total flow from these plants was 0.915 MGD.
Only IS plants met treatment criteria for both BOD^ and suspended
solids removal. Nineteen plants, accounting for 0.634 MGD, provided
greater than 90% removal of BOD,., but only 13 plants, accounting for
0.294 MGD, provided greater than 90% removal of TSS. Only 22 plants
had licensed operators or were operated by licensed consultants.
24
-------
25
Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay Drainage Area
The Coast Guard Base wastewater treatment plant received an average
flow of 0.014 MGD and was hydraulically overloaded by 441. The BOD^
removal efficiency was 951; TSS removal was 28%. The plant did not
meet the treatment criteria. Chlorine residual was 1.0 mg/1. This
plant had a licensed operator.
The Shores Condominium wastewater treatment plant produced 82.3%
1501)5 removal and 60% total suspended solids removal. This plant did
not meet the treatment criteria. Chlorine residual was 2.0 mg/1.
Snake Creek Drainage Area
The Dade Christian Schools treatment plant discharged to the 205th
Street Canal after 69% BOD^. removal and 81.9% TSS removal. It
did not meet the treatment criteria. An extremely high concentration
of nitrite-nitrate nitrogen, 136 mg/1, was discharged. Chlorine
residual was 0.5 mg/1. The plant operator was not licensed.
Biscayne Canal and Little River Drainage Area
Six minor wastewater treatment plants in the Biscayne Canal and
Little River drainage area were sampled. Food Fair Store #291 and
Barry College plants discharged to the ground through drainfields.
Monsignor Pace High School plant discharged to the Biscayne Canal. Del
Rey Gardens Condominium, Palm Springs General Hospital, and Palm Springs
Garden Condominium plants discharged to Little River.
The Barry College, Monsignor Pace High School, Palm Springs Garden
Condominium, Del-Rey Gardens, and Palm Springs Hospital plants did not
provide 90% removal of BOD5 and/or TSS. All plants had chlorine
residuals greater than 1.8 mg/1 except Barry College which had no
chlorine residual. Three operators were licensed.

Miami River Drainage Area
Nineteen minor wastewater treatment plants in the Miami River
drainage area were sampled. Winn Dixie Stores, Hialeah City Hall, Hialeah
Hospital, Hialeah Convalescent Home, Kings Inn, Medley Park, Saratoga
Springs Apartments, Queens Inn Hotel, Seventy-ninth Street Shopping
Center, and Miami Springs High School discharged waste into soakage pits
or drainfields. The Holiday Inn plant discharges directly into the Miami
River. Airport Lanes, Howard Johnson's, My-Am-Ee Trailer Park, and
Blue Lakes Trailer Park plants discharged into Tamiami Canal. Midway
Mall, Air Traffic Control Center and American Hospital Supply plants
discharged into tributary canals of the Miami River or Tamiami Canal. The Country
Club Garden Apartments plant discharged into a private lake.
Hialeah Convalescent Home, Kings Inn, Saratoga Springs Apartments,
Queens Inn Hotel, Miami Springs High School, Hialeah City Hall, Holiday
Inn, Midway Mall, Air Traffic Control Center, Blue Lakes Trailer Park,
Medley Mobile Park, Seventy-ninth Street Shopping Center, American
Hospital Supply, and Country Club Gardens Apartments, did not provide 90%
BOD^ and/or TSS removal.
The total daily nutrient loads discharged were 72 pounds of
nitrogen compounds and 24 pounds of total phosphorus. The Howard
Johnson's, Saratoga Apartments, and the Seventy-ninth Street Shopping
Center plants had chlorine residuals less than 0.5 mg/1. Six plants
had licensed operators and four plants were operated by licensed con-
sultants.
-------
27
Coral Gables Waterway Drainage Area
Westchester Hospital and Biltmore Hotel plants discharged directly
into Coral Cables Waterway. Goldberg Apartments and Ludlam Plaza Apart-
ments plants discharged into a soakage pit and drainfield, respectively.
None of these plants met the treatment criteria for BOD,, and TSS.
Nitrogen compounds and total phosphorus discharged were 7 and 3 lbs.
per clay, respectively. Goldberg Apartments, Biltmore Hotel, and Ludlam
Plaza Apartments plants had chlorine residuals less than 0.5 mg/1.
Westchester Hospital, Goldberg Apartments and Biltmore Hotel plant
operators were not licensed.
Snapper Creek Canal Drainage Area
Jade Gardens Apartments plant discharged directly into Snapper Creek. The
Kendale Lakes plant discharged into Lundgrin Road Canal, and the Florida
Portland Cement, Miller Lake Apartments (Venook Apartments), Lakeview
Garden Apartments and Kendall Complex plants discharged into soakage pits
or drainfields.
Miller Lake Apartments, Lakeview Gardens Apartments, Kendall
Complex, and Kendale Lakes plants did not provide 90% removal of BOD5
and/or TSS.
Jade Gardens Apartments and Miller Lake Apartments plants had
chlorine residuals of less than 0.5 mg/1. Kendale Lakes and Kendall
Complex plants were operated by utility companies, and Miller Lake
Apartments had a licensed operator.
-------
28
Black Creek Drainage Area
The Casa Granada Apartments plant discharged into Canal C-100, and Camp
Matecumbe, HI Rancho Apartments and Naval Air Station plants discharged
to the ground. The Naval Air Station plant did not provide 90%
IK)D^ and/or TSS reduction.
Camp Matecumbe and Naval Air station plants had no chlorine
residual. These two plants were operated by unlicensed personnel. The
other plants were operated by licensed consultants.
South Ray Drainage Area
Redlands Mobile Home Park, Ilelman Court Apartments, Sweden House,
Steak and Brew Restaurant, and Sea Glades Motel Avastewater treatment
plants discharged to the ground.
Sweden House, Sea Glades Motel, and Ilelman Court Apartments plants
did not provide 90% removal of BOD5 and/or TSS.
Thirty-five lbs per day of TSS were discharged by the Ilelman
Courts Apartments plant. Nitrogen compounds and total phosphorus
discharged were 6 and 5 lbs. per day, respectively. The Ilelman Court
Apartments and Sweden House plants had chlorine residuals less than
0.5 mg/1. The Ilelman Court Apartments and Sea Glades Motel plants
were operated by unlicensed personnel. The remaining plants were operated
by licensed parent facilities personnel or by licensed consultants.
Operational Problems at Minor Treatment Plants
Most of the minor wastewater treatment plants in Dade County are
package plants which use modifications of the activated sludge treatment
process. Following is a list of their most common operational problems:
-------
29
* surging - can he connected with aerated surge tanks or flow
splitter boxes to level peak flows.
* inadequate methods for supernatant and sludge handling -- all
digesters should have multiple level outlets.
* solids accumulation - all tanks including chlorine contact
chambers and transfer sumps should be sloped to a drain
or sump through which the tank can be emptied for
cleaning and maintenance.
* clogged pressure filters - no submersible pump should be placed
in the equalizing tanks for pressure filters. A
submersible pump will force solids directly into the
pressure filter, permanently clogging the media.
* clogged gravity feed chlorinators - a pump driven system is
recommended to reduce clogging.
* absence or malfunction of flow measuring devices - flow meters
should be installed at all plants and periodically
calibrated.
It is not possible to correlate efficiency of operation with
licensing of operators, because of the various types of processes and the
variation of loading conditions. However, it is safe to assume that
efficiency of operation would increase if personnel were trained in
plant operations and were required to earn a certification.
Most package plants are not collecting adequate chemical data to
insure proper operation. Data requested by the State Health Department
should meet this requirement.
The 47 minor treatment plants in Dade County treat only 0.915
MG1) of waste. These plants require a disproportionally high amount
-------
30
of labor to operate and maintain them. Therefore, it would be
more economically efficient if these plants were phased out and their
collection systems connected to regional treatment plants.
-------
INDUSTRIAL WASTE SOURCES
Survey Methods
A list of over 1,800 industries was developed from manufacturers
indices and city directories. Five hundred eighty three (583) liquid
waste producing industries which were potential sources of industrial
waste were interviewed by telephone. Information was obtained on the
tvne and size of the industry, processes, waste treatment and
disposal. Water use data were obtained from industries or water supply
utilities to insure that major water users were included.
Two hundred thirty three (233) industries were visited and information
was requested on the origin, type, and disposal of wastewaters; plant
processes; water supply; and wastewater quality. Where applicable,
FWOA Form 120, "Report of Industrial Waste Water Disposal," was completed.
Also where applicable, a tour of the plant was requested and generally
permitted by the industry.
No discharges were sampled during this survey, but a list of
industries which should be sampled was prepared with information on
sampling locations and general character of the waste. Inspection
reports were prepared for 95 industries which were considered significant
pollution sources. These reports are contained in Technical Appendix III,
Industrial Waste Sources Inventory and Evaluation. Table 4 provides a
summary of information on 89 major sources of industrial wastewater in
Dade County. Water use figures reflect mean usage over a recent two
to four months period.

Receiving Waters
Of 89 industries having significant wastewater discharges, 15
discharged into surface water courses, 36 discharged to ground water
through seepage pits, and 38 discharged into sanitary sewer systems.
Five plants which discharged to surface waters would he expected
to have biodegradable organic wastes. All have some treatment.
Canada Dry - treatment being installed
Florida Live Pack Lobsters - settling
Miami Board - clarifier and chlorination
Pepsi Cola - treatment plant
Tallowmaster - oxidation pond
The 10 remaining surface-discharge plants had wastes such as oil
and grease, solvent, detergents, and sludge. Eight are located at
the Miami International Airport.
Aerodex
Airlift International
Rutler Aviation
Delta Airlines
Eastern Airlines
Miami Aviation
Modern Air Transport
Northwest Airlines
These airport area industries discharged wastes into the canal system
within the Miami International Airport tributary to Miami River. Canals
are in the Miami Springs-llialeah well field, a major municipal water supply
source for the Miami Metropolitan area.
-------
33
Homestead Air Force Hase and Seaboard Coastline discharged their
wastes into canals in their respective drainage basins.
Thirty-six (36) industries discharged untreated (or partially
treated) waste to ground water "three dry wells" or seepage pits.
This practice is especially common in the Ilialeah area immediately
adjacent to the Miami Springs-Ilialeah well field, and may cause
contamination of the groundwater aquifer.
Thirty-eight (38) major industries discharged both process and sanitary
wastes into municipal sewer systems. The wastes may be of major concern
to the sewage treatment plant operators. Operational difficulties have
occurred at the Myrtle Grove and Miami Lakes Utilities plants because
of the high proportion of industrial waste.
Sewage system operators are protected from indiscriminate industrial
waste discharges by a ruling of the Dade County Board of County Com-
missioners known as Rule 7--"Regulations of the Use of Sanitary and
Storm Sewers and the Discharge of Waters and Wastes into Utilities'
Sewerage Systems." Under this rule, utility companies require disclosure
through sampling and analysis of the pollution load of certain proposed
or existing industrial discharge and may require pretreatment at the
industries expense where necessary. A copy of Rule 7 is included in
Appendix A-11.
Waste Characteristics
Croup 1 - Pood Processing and Paper:
Dairy wastes are high in dissolved organic substances, contain
lactic acid and casein and about 1000 mg/1 of BOD. Surprisingly, dairy
-------
34
wastes are reported to contain mercury in the range of 25-75 mg/1.—^
Bakery wastes result from discarding and washings and con-
tain sugars and yeasts which exert extremely high BOD.
Meat packing and processing, and rendering plants contain meat
scraps, blood, washings, fats and suspended solids arising from
trimming, cleaning, and dressing of animals. The BOD5 levels may be as high
as 32,000 mg/1 for blood washings while for other processes such as lard
rendering may he up to 200 mg/1.
Beverage and bottling operations have variable waste character-
istics resulting from alkaline bottling operations, leftover drinks,
and syrup spills.
Paper board processing wastes contain suspended solids, settleable
solids, andBOD. Past analyses of the Miami Board plant indicated
an effluent fecal coliform level of 10^ per 100 ml.
Groirn II - Aircraft Engine Repair and Painting:
Wastes from aircraft repair, washing and painting contain
detergents, oils and grease, residual metals, cyanides and miscellaneous
organic material.
Group III - Chemical and Film Processing wastes:
Photographic wastes consist of spent reducing solutions (hydroquinone
and pyrogallol) and fixing solutions (sodium thiosulfate). These
solutions exert both chlorine and oxygen demand. In the photographic
1/ Nemerow, Leonard Nelson, Theories and Practices of Industrial
Waste Treatment, Addison-Wesley Publishing Co., Inc., Reading, Mass.,
1963, p. 326.
-------
35
process, other chemicals may be'used: ferricyanide as a color bleaching
agent, benzyl alochol in color developing, and chromium in slide
processing. Proprietary developing and fixing solutions might also
enter into the process.
Mercury is reported to be a reagent used at the Dade Division
of American Hospital.
Group IV - Metal Plating Industries:
Metal plating wastes may be acidic or alkaline depending upon
the nlating process or the stage from which the waste is removed.
Acidic wastes usually contain sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric, acetic
and/or phosphoric acids. Alkaline wastes may contain sulfide,
cyanide and hydroxide anions, detergents, soaps, oils and suspended
solids.
Heavy metals such as nickel, chromium, zinc, cadmium, copper,
iron, and mercury might enter the waste stream as part of the process
or as a contaminant of another metal introduced into the process.
Abatement Actions
Fourteen industries are presently involved in litigation under various
Federal and local ordinances (Table 5). Three oil discharge actions
are being prosecuted under the 1899 Refuse Act and three are being
prosecuted under county regulations. Other industrial cases carried under
county ordinance include Canada Dry Bottling Co., Pepsi Cola Bottling
Co., Farm Stores, Inc., Florida Live Pack Lobster Sales, Miami
Board, Florida Processing, Tallowmaster and Natro, Inc.

otherwise, the meaning of terms used in this
rule shall be as follows:
(a) "Sewage Works" is a comprehensive term
which includes facilities for collecting,
pumping, treating and disposing of sewage.
(b) "Sewage" shall mean a combination of the
water carried wastes from dwellings,
business buildings, institutions, and
industrial establishments. In effect it
is the water supply of a community after
it has been used and discharged into a
sewer.
(c) "Sanitary Sewer" shall mean a sewer
which carries sewage and to which storm,
surface and ground waters are not in-
tentionally admitted.
(d) "Storm Sewer" shall mean a sewer which
carries storm and surface waters and
drainage, but excludes sewage and polluted
industrial wastes.
(e) "Industrial Wastes" shall mean the liquid
wastes from industrial processes as
distinct from sanitary sewage.
(f) "Garbage" shall mean solid wastes from the
preparation, cooking and dispensing of
food and fjsom the handling, storage and
sale of produce.
(g) "B.O.D." (denoting Biochemical Oxygen
Demand) shall mean the quantity of oxygen
utilized in the biochemical oxidation of
1-1
-------
organic matter under standard laboratory
procedure in 5 days at 20 degrees
Centigrade, expressed in parts per
million.
(h) "pH" shall mean the logarithm of the
reciprocal of ithe weight of hydrogen ions
in grams per liter of solution.
(i) "Suspended Solids" shall mean solids
that either float on the surface of, or
are in suspension in water, sewage or
other liquids and which are largely re-
moveable by laboratory filtering.
(j) "Person" shall mean any individual, firm,
company, association, society, corporation
or group.
(k) "P.P.M." shall mean parts per million by
weight.
SECTION 2: Prohibited Wastes.
(a) No person shall discharge or cause to be
discharged any storm water, surface water,
ground water, roof runoff, subsurface
drainage, cooling water or unpolluted
industrial or commercial process water into
any sanitary ?ewer.
(b) The discharge of cooling water from air
conditioning units is prohibited. Cooling
water free from bacteria and harmful
chemicals should be discharged into storm
water sewers. Except as hereinafter pro-
vided, no gerson shall discharge or cause
to be discharged any of the following
described wastes or waters to any public
sewer:
1. Any liquid having a temperature higher
than 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
i-2
-------
2. Any water or waste containing more
than 100 p.p.m. or exceed a daily-
average of 25 p.p.m. of any grease
or oil or any oily substance.
3. Any gasoline, benzene, naptha, fuel
oil or other flammable or explosive
liquid, solid or gas.
4. Any waters or wastes containing a
toxic or poisonous substance in
sufficient quantity to injure or
interfere with any sewage treatment
process, constitute a hazard to
humans or animals, or create any
hazard in the receiving waters of the
sewage treatment plant.
5. Any garbage that has not been proper-
ly shredded, which shall mean the
wastes from the preparation, cooking
and dispensing of food that have been
shredded to such degree that all
particles will be carried freely under
the flow conditions normally prevailing
in public sewers, with no particle
size greater than 1/2 inch in any
dimension.
6. Any waters, or wastes having a pH
lower than 5.5 or higher than 9.5 or
having any other corrosive property
capable of causing damage or hazard to
structures, equipment or personnel of
the sewage works.
7. Any water or waste containing toxic
substances in quantities in excess of
the' following limits and measured at
the point of discharge into the sewer
system:

stream.
8. Any water or waste containing phenols in
excess of 0.005 p.p.m.
9. Any water or waste containing suspended
solids or color of such character and
quantity that unusual attention or
expense is required to handle such materials
at the sewage treatment plant, without a
special permit.
10. Any toxic radioactive isotopes, without
a special permit.
No statement contained in this section shall be construed
as prohibiting any special agreement or arrangement,
between the utility and any person whereby an industrial
waste of unusual strength or character may be admitted
into the sanitary sewers for treatment by the utility
either before or after pretreatment.
SECTION 3: Admission of Industrial Waste.
(a) Treatment of Industrial Wastes - The
economy and desireability of the combined
treatment o*f industrial wastes and
sanitary sewage is recognized. However,
not all types and quantities of in-
dustrial wastes can be so treated. Hence,
it shall be the established policy to
admit these types and quantities of in-
dustrial wastes that are not harmful or
damaging to the structures, processes or
operation of the sewage works or are not
specifically prohibited by this rule.
1-4
-------
It is also recognized that to provide
this service additional facilities are
required and the cost of which must be
borne by those persons receiving its
benefits.
(b) Approval Required for Industrial Wastes-
In order to control the admission of in-
dustrial wastes, the discharge into the
public sewers of any waters or wastes
having:
1. A five day 20 degree Centigrade B.O.D.
greater than 300 p.p.m. or
2. A suspended solids content greater
than 350 p.p.m., or
3. A chlorine demand greater than 15
p.p.m., or
4. An average daily flow greater than 2%
of the average daily sewage flow at
the sewage treatment works, or
5. Any toxic substance, or
6. Any wastes which are considered by the
Superintendent of the Sewage Treatment
Works to offer possibilities or harm
to structures, processes, or operation
of the plant.
shall be subject to review and approval of
the utility.
(c) Sewerage Systems Connected to an Ocean
Outfall - When industrial wastes are dis-
charged to a sewerage system utilizing an
ocean outfall, items 1 through 3, Section 3(b)
shall not be applicable unless it is being
1-5
-------
treated by a sewage treatment plant
where the loading of the biological
treatment unit would be a factor.
(d) Survey Data- Required - All users of the
sewage system who are now discharging
industrial wastes to the public sewers
shall upon request of the sewage treat-
ment-plant Superintendent, fill in and
file with the plant superintendent,
within three months, a questionnaire
which shall furnish pertinent data, in-
clusive of quantity of flow and an
analysis of the water discharged to the
sewage treatment plant.
Similarly any person desiring to make a
new connection to the sewage system for
the purpose of discharging industrial
wastes to the public sewers, shall fill
in and file with the sewage treatment
plant superintendent an industrial waste
questionnaire which shall furnish
pertinent or predicted data inclusive of
quantity of flow and an analysis of the
industrial waste to be discharged into
the sewer system.
(e) Sampling and Analysis - Samples shall be
a composite sample collected daily over
a three day period of operation so as to
be a truly representative sample of the
actual quality of the wastes. Sample,
for analysis, must be collected by the
engineer, chemist or his representative.
Analysis shall be made by a registered
Sanitary Engineer, or a graduate Chemist
whose qualifications are acceptable to
the Health Department, or Class A & B
waste water treatment plant operator,
1-6
-------
registered in Florida, using the
laboratory methods for the exami-
nation of industrial waste as set
forth in the latest edition of
"Standard Methods for Examination
of Water and Sewage" as published
by the American Public Health
Service.
(f) Extension of Time - When, due to the
size or complexity of the waste
disposal problem of an industry, it
can be shown that it is impractical
to meet the schedule imposed under
Section 3(c) above, a request for
an extension of time may be present-
ed to the plant superintendent.
(g) Control Manhole - Any establishment
discharging industrial wastes into
the sewage system shall construct
and maintain at his expense a suitable
control manhole, or manholes down-
stream from any treatment, storage or
other approved works, to facilitate
observation, measurement and sampling
of all wastes, including domestic
sewage, from the establishment.
The control manhole or manholes shall
be constructed at suitable and satis-
factory locations and built in a
manner approved by the Sewage Treat-
ment Plant superintendent.
The control manhole shall be accessable
to the Sewage Treatment Plant superin-
tendent or his representatives at all
times for sampling.
1-7
-------
(h) Pretreatment - When required, the user
of the utility sewer system shall
provide at his expense such preliminary
treatment or handling as may be neces-
sary to modify the objectionable
characteristics, or constituents to
come within the limits set forth in
Section 3(b) of this rule.
SECTION 4: The Sewage Treatment Plant Superintendent
and other duly authorized employees of the
utility bearing proper credentials and
identification shall be permitted to enter
upon all properties for the purposes of
inspection, observation, measurement,
sampling and testing in accordance with
the provisions of this rule.
