SUBJECT Proposed Pathological Waste
Incinerator - 2355 NW 35th Avenue
REFERENCES
ENCLOSURES
For your information, on December 10, 1986, the Metro Dade County Zoning
Appeals Board approved an Unusual Use to permit Environmental Pollution
Control Inc., to construct and operate a pathological waste incinerator at
2355 N.W. 35th Avenue, as well as a non-use variance to construct a 20' high
wall to screen the incinerator, presently zoned IU-1 (light industrial).
Concerned property owners in the general area are appealing the approval to
the Board of County Commissioners on March 5, 1987.
The location is in unincorporated Dade County, in the industrial area east of
Miami International Airport, south of the Miami River and north of the City
limits along N.W. 20th Street. (See map attached).
The proposed facility has a capacity to burn 1,350 lbs/per hour of infectious
waste 24 hours per day or 16 tons per day. Trucks will deliver the waste to 1.
this site from hospitals and clinics in Dade County and throughout Florida.
The plant will also consider the acceptance of confiscated contraband drugs
for disposal.
Briefly, County conditions for approval are as follows:
- Connections to public water and sanitary sewer systems, including all
interior drains; all stormwater runoff to be retained on site.
- Automatic control to maintain a minimum temperature of 18500 F in the upper
combustion chamber.
- No visible emissions, no hazardous waste to be accepted, no nuisance to the
surrounding area.
- All necessary operating permits.
- Incinerator inspections by Simonds, the manufacturer, every three months
and inspection reports to be submitted to Department of Environmental
Resource Management.

February 25, 1987
The impacts on the City of Miami are largely unknown. There is a concern
about the stream of trucks picking up infectious wastes from hospitals and
clinics in the region, and using local street systems and the expressways to
haul this waste through the City of Miami to the site. With prevailing winds
from the southeast, there is an unidentified impact on property lying downwind
within the City of Miami, a half mile to the northwest of the site (e.g. Miami
Jai -Alai).
By way of drawing a comparison, yourattention is also called to the two
incinerators at Jackson Memorial Hospital immediately south of the City of
Miami Motor Pool which have capacity of burning 2 tons of pathological waste
and 20 tons of garbage per day and, on occasion have visible emissions. Mercy
Hospital operates a pathological waste incinerator with a capacity of 30 cubic
feet or a capacity of up to approximately 22 tons/day. At the time of
installation of the incinerators at Jackson (1981) there were also two
pathological waste incinerators at the Dade County Resource Recovery site on
N.W. 58th Street (12-1/2 tons/day and 3 tons/day capacity) and a larger
hazardous waste incinerator (50 tons/day) at the South Dade Solid Waste
Disposal Facility at Black Point. Recall also that in the 1970's, under
pressure from Metro Dade County, the City of Miami was forced to close its two
large incinerator facilities, one in Coconut Grove (now the Fire and Rescue
Training Facility) and the other at the intersection of N.W. 12th Avenue and
20th Street (now presently vacant for lack of constructive reuse).
If it is deemed necessary to direct a communication to the Board of County
Commisioners prior to their meeting of March 5, 1987, then the Planning
Department suggests that the following concerns be expressed:
1. That the Department of Environmental Resources Management have their own
personnel conduct unannounced inspections four times per year, rather than
the manufacturer.
2. That the plant operator provide information on unloading procedures within
the site with the objective of assuring that there will be no wind-blown
"red -bag" waste, bandages, E:c., on or of -site.
3. That the operator guarantee that trucks will not have to park in the
street, waiting to be unloaded, on the small site.
4. That the operator confines inbound truck operations to designated
Interstate, Federal and State routes so as to avoid unnecessary travel
through Miami neighborhoods.
Enclosed is backup material associated with the approvals by Dade County.

ANALYSIS
The applic requesting an unusual use to permit the construction of a
waste incin or, located on a 180' X 232'"parcel on the east side of NW
35 Avenue,' between NW 23 Street and theoretical NW 24 Street. The
property is presently zoned IU-1 (light industrial), and maintains what
appears to be an abandoned car rental agency on it. This entire area is
zoned industrial, and is a mixture of industrially oriented uses. The
proposed incinerator has been reviewed by the Department of Environmental
Resources Management (DERM) and who, with a total of ten conditions, is
recommending approval of the subject request. The proposed incinerator
will have a capacity to burn 1,350 pounds per hour of infectious waste
from various hospitals and clinics throughout Dade County. The applicant
also desires to utilize this incinerator in order to burn confiscated
contraband drugs. One of the conditions imposed by DERM in reference to
this request is that "no hazardous waste shall be accepted at this
facility" and that DERM will review this operation every three months.

Staff believes that, with the strict conditions imposed on the operation
of this uses and the inclusion of a review procedure by DERM, this use is
acceptable within this industrial area, and that, in fact, it would
provide a much needed service to the community. Accordingly, staff
recommends approval of this request, once again, emphasizing that all
conditions of this application as required by DERM become an integral part
of the granting of approval of this request. One further request, which
is somewhat minor in nature, would permit the applicant to construct a 20'
high wall around the site in order to visually obscure this site from
adjacent properties, whereas only an 8' wall is permitted. Considering
the type of use proposed for this site, staff believes that the additional
wall height can be justified.'

RECONUMENDATION: Approval with conditions.
The applicants are seeking to establish a waste incinerator for disposal of
hazardous waste materials generated by hospitals. The applicants are also
considering the acceptance of confiscated contraband drugs for incineration.
A non-use variance is also requested to permit a 20' high wall enclosing the
proposed incinerator. The property is currently improved with a 40' X 80'
metal frame building that will be utilized for waste handling and
administration. The incinerator would be constructed adjacent to the west
side of the building and be enclosed with a 20' high wall. Staff supports the
application. The parcel is surrounded by industrial zoning and uses and is
well spaced from residential areas. The prop03ed 20' 'nigh gall is the same
height as the existing building and provides desired screaning for tie
incinerator. The wall will look like a building and should be compatible in
this industrial area.
Staff advises the applicant to contact the Department of Environmental
Resources Management (DERM) to insure the use conforms with all requirements
of that Department. Accordingly, staff recommends that this application be
approved, subject to the following conditions:
1. That a use plan be submitted to and meet with the approval of the
Zoning tor; said plan to include among other things but not be

DADE Co. W.= 2 14G OEM
Please be advised that this office represents
Environmental Pollution Control, Inc. as it pertains to their
pending application with Dade County for a Zoning variance.
It is the intention of Environmental Pollution Control,
Inc. , to utilize this property, subject to the approval of State
and County Authorities, as a waste disposal site utilizing the
most sophisticated modern incinerator available on the market at
this time.
My clients have already contacted and contracted with
the Simons Company for the delivery installation and operation of
the best high intesity incinerator for my clients purposes.
A primary objective of Environmental Pollution Control,
Inc.,, is to be able to provide a service to Dade County Hospitals
as it now pertains to hazardous waste material generated by these
hospitals. Because of the nature of the waste generated by a
hospital, i.e., infectious material from labs, operating room,
general patient care, this kind of service is required here in
Dade County. At the present time only one company pprovides this
service, creating in essence a monopoly authorized by Dade County
as this one incinerator facility now destroying hazardous waste
= material is on land operated and controlled and leased by the
• County.
It is the desire of Environmental Pollution Control,
Inc., to continue to service those clients it presently has in
Dade County, providing then with an efficient and economic means
of disposing of their infectious waste material. In an era of
rising hospital costs and concerns for our environment, the
installation al}peration of this facility will benefit not only
N
` Page Two
August 71, 1986 /
I; the hospitals serviced and my client but the people of Dade County.
The location of this land site creates no detrimental
effect on residents and/or business of Dade County.
_= Environmental Pollution Control, Inc., has contacted as
their architect L.R.W. $ Associates. The architect, in addition
to constructing and laying out the facility, will implement all
necessary landscape architecture to enhance the location, faci-
lity and appearance of Environmental Pollution Control, Inc.'s,
=' facility on the requested land.
This office and Environmental Pollution Control, Inc.
are more than willing to meet with any County Officials to
address any concerns or inquiries they may have as to the opera-
tion of this facility.
Thanking you in advance for the courtesies and coopera-
tmon extended.

DERM offers the following amended comments in lieu of those previously
submitted based upon additional information supplied by the applicant:
DERM has reviewed the subject application for a proposed pathological
incinerator (Simonds Model #AF-5B) which will have a capacity for burning
1.350 pounds per hour of infectiods waste from various hospitals and clinics
in Dade County and throughout Florida. The applicant is also considering
the acceptance of confiscated contraband drugs for incineration. The
proposed location is in an IU-1 zoned area, immediately east of an existing
food commissary, Marriott In -Flight Services.
The following requirements shall be incorporated into any resolution approv-
ing the proposed facility:
1. The facility shall be connected to the public water and sanitary
sewer systems. A sand and ash interceptor may be required for
interior drains connected to the sanitary sewer system.
2. The incinerator loading area and ash clean -out area shall be
