| Sponsors: |
Margolis, Wilson |

| Statewide Interest: |
| The construction of new wastewater collection system and the cleaning and abandonment of the existing septic systems currently used to handle wastewater will be necessary to protect the environment and prevent further contamination of the area sediments, groundwater and surface water bodies by eliminating the septic systems, one of the sources of contaminqnts. This will further prevent pollution of the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, and satisfy the South Florida Water Management District's SWIM Plan for Biscayne Bay that includes moving, maintaining, and improving water quality to protect and restore natural ecosystems and compatible human uses of Biscayne Bay. |

| Project Description: |
| Highland Village is a residential mobile home park in the City of North Miami Beach, and is adjacent to the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve and the Oleta River State Recreation Area. Highland Village is a low-income neighborhood located between NE 20th Avenue and NE 25th Avenue & NE 135th Terrace and NE 137th Street. In 1999, the City employed an outside engineering consultant to orepare a Water Quality Eveluation Study (Study) to assess the problem at Highland Village. The Study included a specific water-sampling scheme whereby water samples were collected from an underlying aquifer and adjacent surface waters. The result was expected: surfface quality water quality standards were exceeded at all sampling locations. Total fecal coliform bacteria counts were highest at stormwater outfall locations that discharge into Arch Creek and the adjacent Oleta River State Recrational Area. In order to solve this problem, the construction of a new wastewater collection system and the cleaning and abandonment of the existing septic systems currently used to handle wastewater will be necessary. The new wasterwater collection system will prevent further contamination of the area sediments, groundwater and surface water bodies by eliminating the septic systems, one of the sources of contaminants. |
