MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND: As stated previously, this project is one in a series of projects related to the State of Florida�s Ocean Outfall Legislation, Section 403.086(9) of the Florida Statutes, which regulates wastewater disposal/ocean outfalls. WASD owns and operates the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant that disposes treated wastewater effluent through an ocean outfall pipeline.

The Ocean Outfall Legislation requires that discharges of domestic wastewater through ocean outfalls meet advanced wastewater treatment requirements no later than December 31, 2018. The requirement for advanced wastewater treatment can be met at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant by diverting the volume of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in the wastewater effluent from the ocean outfall by injecting it into the proposed deep injection wells. In addition, the industrial waste stream at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant resulting from groundwater remediation at the adjacent south property (the former Virginia Key Landfill) will also be disposed of in the deep injection wells to be constructed by this project.

The deep injection wells will be designed and constructed in accordance with Florida Administrative Code Rule 62?528, and will be permitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. WASD currently has a permit for construction of the wells proposed by this project.
