The objective is the identification of manageinet t acid institutional issues
and needs that relate to a range of Non -Point Source (NPS) tontrol a1ter�
natives which are thought to be achievable It is anticipated that it will
be necessary to investigate major activities of water quality planning i.e►
construction, operation, planning, monitoringi budgeting and financing.
It will be necssary to (a) participate in a workshop on the development of
non -point source control pptions; (b) define geographic areas for which NPS
control options may affect various institutional resources; (C) identify
the gross total cost implications of the NPS control options and establish
alternative financing techniques for the achievement of each option to be
explored; (d) identify the administrative workloads, skill requirements and
prototypical structures required to undertake programs related to identi-
fied NPS control options; and (e) identify the regulations and powers
required to implement the NPS control options.
Major outputs to be expected include the identification of geographical
areas appropriate to each NPS control option, an indication of manpower and
skill needs to undertake specific NPS control options and a summary of
Management/ Institutional/Financial (MIF) issues and needs.

SurvAy a AnalYte A.WdY MalhngPfiletit_eallatiPa
This work element involves dh evaluation of those Metropolitan Dade County
institutions and certain state atd federal agencies which affect water
quality through their decision -making and which could be called upon to
perform management functiots. The evaluation will be accomplished through
aft analysis of the agettcles whose operatiots decision -making, monitoring,
or enforcement can affect the implementation, operation or effectiveness of
N1o8 controls, and the identification of institutional constraints based
upon insights gaited during the analysis of the various agencies. Major
products of this task include a compilation of agency names, powers, duties,
activities, jurisdiction and an Interim Report identifying potentials and
constraints of agency management functions vis-a-vis probably NPS control
options to be utilized. 4„
C: Screen List of NPS Control Options
Primary objective is to eliminate, or modify, non -point source (NPS)
control options for which no reasonable management solution can be developed
or postulated. This first round elimination will drop NPS control options
where any of the following may be found to exist: (a) no funding source
can be identified; (b) heavy reliance on multijurisdictional responses;
(c) a clean historical or legislative prohibition exists; (d) the adminis-
trative burden is impractical; (e) the proposed action relies upon attain-
able enforcement.
The major output of this tagk will be dtt interim report listing t I'S control
options that can conceivably be managed, financed) and controlled by bade
County agencies or existing state or federal agencies. This includes
docutnentation or reasons for the elimination of any control options.
bt Develop Management, tnstitutionalj and tittancial Alternatives
A series of management alternatives for alterttative subplans developed in
another element of the i'OS will be formulated. A further purpose of this
Work Element is to evaluate the management alternatives for non -point
source control subplans combined with the management system developed for
point source ccntrol.
Two sets of management alternatives will be prepared. One set of management
alternatives for each subplan will be prepared to outline an arrangement
that is based upon strong centralized control either by locating all, or at
least key, functions in a single agency. Another set of management alter-
natives to be developed for each subplan will involve a combination of a
centralized and decentralized system.
An Interim Report will be developed which will outline points such as
system operations and maintenance, planning activities, monitoring, for
each subplan and indicate the management response alternatives developed in
this Work Element. In adiition, the timing or staging for implementing and
the effectiveness of, management alternatives will be addressed.

A.,__Tnventoi`y and, eOrrelatc+ ml:xisting, Point Sotitct? Data and Plaits*
The task in this work element is the collection and correlation of existing
data from previously performed program: 3(c), 303 (c), 201) and WASA data
in order to incorporate the point source data and plans into the 208 areawide
plan. This will entail obtaining treatment plant point source waste load
data for point source loading in surface waters and the schedule for projected
point source load reduction. In addition, federal guidelines and regulations,
as well as, state state actions concerning NPDES permit requirements and
regulations for storm sewer systems and runoff from industrial and commercial
sites will be monitored. 'A working paper report containing point source
loads and their reduction schedule, and a working paper report on the
possible impacts of the NPDES permit system will be prepared.
1dcntifz Ocean Ct:trap Study ",-o^r-ern
An ocean outfail saucy grant has recently been awarded by the EPA to the
University of Miami. The research in this two year study is divided into
three objectives: (1) Characterization of the plume mixing zone as it
relates to the kinds and subsequent dilution of sewage derived solutes;
(2) the testing of methods for the sampling and enumeration of viral
pathogens and the_r treatment; and (3) evaluation of outfall induced
responses of immobile bottom dwelling invertebrates and other marine organisms.
The project emphasizes laboratory work to evaluate the acute effects of
sewage on marine organisms.
:tab1 ish Scib�i,it,sr o Mori= tat , csut et•s
The most feasible structural and no v ttuetutal non point source control
alternatives (subplans) will be identified along 'Best Management Practices"
guidelines. Existing point source control strategies will be incorporated
into the non -point control subplans to create areawide comprehensive subplans.
Non -point source load reduction requirements will be reviewed and load
reductions on a per control option basis will be estimated. NPS subplans
will be developed for existing and new non -point sources, and evaluated for
each canal drainage subsegment. An interim report will describe alterna-
tive subplans by drainage subsegment.
Gt Areawide Plan Evaluation.
This element is the culmination of all the technical, management and land
use planning tasks. It will combine the alternative technical subplans
with management alternatives and determine leading areawide alternatives
for evaluation.
Alternative areawide plans will be examined and compared. The leading
plans which are cost effective and implementable will'be selected.
Information on the alternative plans will be presented to public participation
groups and local government officials to obtain opinions and comments.. An
interim report describing the advantages and disadvantages of, as well as
public opinions and comments on, each alternative plan will be prepared.,

A: Review Water quality Needs, Critical Conditions and Classifications.
a:
This element is designed to review the prioritization of water quality
problems, critical conditions and classifications of waters in Dade County.
The review will involve: (a) a review of existing water quality classifications,
standards and ceriteria for receiving waters in Dade County; (b) a determination
of critical flow conditions in the major surface water bodies in general
and Snapper Creek in particular; (c) an analysis of the probable causes
of the critical conditions; and (d) an evaluation of the water quality
classifications with respect to the existing and predicted water uses as
well as point and non -point waste inputs. An interim report will document
the findings of this Work Element.

C: Selection and Evaluation of Potential Best Management Practices.
It is the purpose of the element to screen the existing and potential new
Best Management Practices and evaluate their effectiveness in controlling
imposed wasteloads from urban runoff.
The screening process will permit an early determination of the practices
that merit field evaluation. The evaluation will continue for a number of
wet and dry season storms. Among the water quality considerations to be
emitted will be! (a) pollut tnt.a removed; (h) degree of wasteload tedue

1t has been determined that the model STORM will be most suitable fot
application in bade County, The use of STORM can aid in the selection of
storage and treatment facilities to abate pollution and reduce the quantity
of urban stormwater runoff.
Ftora urban runoff data collected in Snapper Creek, land use -water quality
coefficients will be calculated for input to the model. The model will
generate urban runoff flows and loads reaching the Snapper Creek Canal.
The calibrated model will be applied to a known storm and the predicted
results verified with field data. A working paper which documents the
analyses performed in this element will be prepared.
E: Establish E::istin and Projected Urban Runoff Flows and Loads.
By using Model STORM, the urban runoff flows and loads to all major canals,
for both existing and future conditions, will be projected. Using the
calibrated and verified STORM model, urban runoff flows and loads for each
delinczted drainage subsegment will be calculated. (Somewhat more detailed
calculation will be required for the Snapper Creel: drainage subsegment as

G! Develop Allowable Urban Runoff Loadingsto Surface Waters.
This element will determine allowable urban runoff discharges for existing
conditions and establish gross target abatement levels for future waste
projections. Waste load allocations for point sources will be reviewed.
Using the cause and effect relationships established in the mass balance
analysis and data on point sources, gross wasteload reductions for the
urban runoff discharges to Snapper Creek Canal will be developed. The
results for Snapper Creek will be transferred and modified to represent
other major canals. Existing water quality standards may have to be revised
if wasteload reductions reveal that these standard are unachievable. A
working paper report will document the allowable urban runoff discharges to
surface waters in Dade County.

Funds allocated for this wort element have been focused upon a particular goal.
As a means of achieving this goal, Dade County's Department of Environmental
Resources Management will embark on a project to (1) develop a water supply
profile for all water supply sources serving Dade County. (2) Dade County's
Department of Environmental Resources Management (DER) will embark on a
project to (1) analyze the water supply well fields (composite sample) in Dade
County for contaminants such as those listed above to determine the extent of
the problem. (2) Analyze individual wells for the specific contaminants in
those well fields indicating contamination. (3) With future funding, individ-
ual well, analyses and knowledge of the groundwater hydrology, land use
information will he obtained, and potential sources of contamination, including
landfills, canals, canal sediments, urban runoff, agricultural operations,
septic tank areas, industrial/municipal waste discharges, and others will be
:isred and mapped; (4) suspected contamination sources for compounds found in
the individual wells will be monitored and analyzed. Observation wells will be
constructed if required; (5) control procedures for identified sources of con-
