A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA URGING MIAMI-DADE COUNTY TO
EXPEDITIOUSLY AND TIMELY COMPLY WITH THE STORMWATER
AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIR PROJECTS MANDATED IN
THE COUNTY'S CONSENT DECREE WITH THE UNITED STATES
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY AND THE STATE OF
FLORIDA.
WHEREAS, in 2013, Miami-Dade County ("County") entered into a Consent
Decree with the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the State
of Florida to settle claims relating to violations of federal and state water pollution
control laws; and
WHEREAS, the Consent Decree resolved claims of unpermitted discharges of
sewage, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") effluent violations,
and imminent and substantial endangerment claims due to sewer spills and the threat of
a sewer line under Biscayne Bay breaking; and
WHEREAS, the Consent Decree requires the substantial repair of the County's
three wastewater treatment plants and its sewer system at an estimated cost of $1.6
billion over approximately fifteen (15) years; and
WHEREAS, according to a May 2016 update prepared by the Miami-Dade Water
and Sewer Department regarding its Consent Decree schedule, "there is general
concern that county systems may not be able to process the volume of construction bid
packages in order to maintain the program schedule"; and
WHEREAS, specifically, various projects involving the South and Central
Districts' wastewater treatment plants, and certain wastewater collection and
transmission facilities and sewer pump station systems, will require expedited permitting
and/or expedited procurement processes to maintain their completion within the
Consent Decree compliance dates; and
WHEREAS, Miami-Dade County is uniquely vulnerable to the negative effects of
rising seas on its overburdened water and sewer infrastructure and in order to avoid
potentially catastrophic impacts to South Florida, it is in the best interest of the health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens and businesses in the City of Miami Beach, as well as
in Miami-Dade County, for the mandated upgrades and repairs of the water and sewer
systems of the County to proceed in an expeditious and timely manner.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA that the Mayor and City
Commission of the City of Miami Beach hereby respectfully urge Miami-Dade County to
expeditiously and timely comply with the stormwater and sewer infrastructure repair
projects mandated in the County's Consent Decree with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the State of Florida.
