RE: Surcharging in the Gravity Mains of the Pump Station 08-006 Basin.
Dear Mr. Finnie:
A recent inspection conducted by personnel of the Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM)
revealed that the gravity main in Port Said Road between NW 135th Street and NW 127th Street continues to operate in
''surcharged condition. This is a violation of Specific Condition (1) of the operating permit DWO-047 for the City's
sanitary sewer collection system, and of conditions of the After-the-Fact Sewer Extension Permit SE2011-00021 that
was issued for this section of pipe.
DERM records indicate that this main was installed with a less than standard slope. On May 4, 2011, the City of Opa-
Locka Public Works Department was issued a Warning Notice (copy enclosed). To date, the issue has not been
remedied.
As a result of the above,the City is hereby required to:
1. Within thirty(30)days of receipt of this Notice, submit for DERM review and approval, a plan for correcting the slope
of the gravity main in the specific area such that surcharging will not occur during regular operations.
2. Implement the plan, including any changes required by DERM, within thirty (30) days from the date of the DERM
approval letter.
3. If the above noted work does not correct the gravity main to a slope of at least 0.4%, the City will be required to
provide a program of regularly scheduled cleaning and flushing of the pipe segments in question, along with a
detailed description of all other planned remedial actions.
4. Provide to DERM a log of the remedial actions taken under Item (3) above, for this gravity main each year, along
with the City's submittal of its Sewer System Evaluation Survey(SSES)Annual Report.
In addition, if this condition is not remedied, DERM may be unable to certify additional flow to this station, since there
will be no assurance that this system will be able to operate properly with the additional flow.
If you have any questions about the above or wish to meet with DERM staff to discuss this matter further, please
contact Mr. Carlos Hernandez, P.E., Chief of DERM's Plan Review and Development Approvals Division at 786-315-
2800 or via e-mail at Hernacamiamidage.gov.
