The unconfined Biscayne aquifer underlies all of Dade County, Florida. This aquifer is wedge-shaped and comprised primarily of limestone, sandstone, and sand. Because of interest in the East Everglades area as a recharge area in Dade County, the Metropolitan Dade County Planning Department requested the U.S. Geological Survey to prepare a map defining the base of the Biscayne aquifer in the East Everglades., The purpose of this report is to present the results of the investigation in terms of...

The purpose of this working paper is to describe the water management requirements of the base and alternative scenarios developed in Tasks 1 and 4 of this work element. While this paper does not address an area-wide "system" for water supply and drainage, it does analyze the impacts of projected residential and agricultural development on existing capabilities. Utilizing a water budget approach, impacts have been quantified on an area-wide basis, however more localized affects on the water...

While this paper does not address an area-wide "system" for water supply and drainage, it does analyze the impacts of projected residential and agricultural development on existing capabilities. Utilizing a water budget approach, impacts have been quantified on an area-wide basis, however more localized affects on the water resource were addressed where possible.

- Title
- Effects of land use on surface-water quality in the East Everglades, Dade County, Florida.
- Name/Creator
-
Waller, Bradley G., Geological Survey (U.S.), PALMM (Project), Metropolitan Dade County (Fla.)
- Abstract/Description
-
Water quality characteristics were determined at five developed areas in the East Everglades, Dade County, Florida, during the 1978 wet season (June through October). These areas are designated as: Coopertown; Chekika Hammock State Park; residential area; rock-plowed tomato field; and Cracker Jack Slough agricultural area. Data from the developed areas were compared with data from four baseline sites in undeveloped areas to determine the effects of land use on the surface-water quality.

The purposes of this investigation were to determine the source of salts in the soil and the process by which the salts accumulate. Investigation was centered in a 20-square mile area near the Homestead Air Force Base, in Dade County, Florida. Observation wells and piezometers were drilled to depths ranging from 1 to about 60 feet, in order to periodically collect data concerning water-levels and salinities at different depths in the soil and in the underlying Biscayne aquifer.

The area is flat and low lying with elevation ranging from sea level in the southeast part to 10 feet at Chekika Hammock with an average elevation of about 6 feet. Rainfail in the area averages 57.9 inches a year with about 80 percent of the total falling during the May to October wet season.

Show moreThe East Everglades area in south-central Dade County occupies approximately 240 square miles. The area is flat and low lying with elevation ranging from sea level in the southeast part to 10 feet at Chekika Hammock with an average elevation of about 6 feet. Rainfail in the area averages 57.9 inches a year with about 80 percent of the total falling during the May to October wet season. There is some residential development and farming in the east-central part of the area where land elevations are slightly higher. Pressure by agricultural, commercial, and housing interests to develop the area is increasing., Historically, most of the area was flooded for extended periods of time. The construction of canals, levees, and controls has lowered the average water levels of the area. This has reduced the extent and decreased the time of flooding. Long-term hydrographs show graphically the effects that the water control works have had on the hydrologic system. The change in discharge into the north end of the East Everglades through the Tamiami Canal Outlets, Levee 30 to 67A, due to construction is very pronounced.

Show moreIn south Florida, controversy has existed among urban, agricultural, fisheries, tourism, and natural resource interests over methods to restore the Everglades National Park and Florida Bay. Currently, elevating the water table and increasing the flow of water to Everglades National Park in order to restore more natural hydroperiods is proposed as a solution by the Army Corps of Engineers (COE), South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and the Everglades National Park (ENP), based on studies by hydrologists and researchers at those agencies., However, the impact that these water management decisions may have on agriculture in the area has not been addressed to the satisfaction of the local agricultural community. This report summarizes and analyzes many years of work completed by the USACOE, the SFWMD, and the ENP, and makes recommendations for additional work that may improve the planning, design and operation of water management facilities in the south Dade County area.

Show moreUnder provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1979 designated the Biscayne aquifer is the sole or principal source of potable water in southeast Florida. The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) in 1980 submitted a conceptual study to EPA designed to develop a strategy for protecting the groundwater resource. In February 1981, EPA approved the FDER aquifer protection study and the 208 Areawide Clean Water Management Programs were awarded lead roles in implementing the strategy in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. The program submitted for the tri-county area generally consists of three phases: developing time of pollutant travel contours around selected existing wellfields, identifying land uses and sources of pollution within contours, and devleoping wellfield protection ordinances. Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. (CDM) was subsequently selected by a joint committee of representatives from the tri-county 208 Groups, the FDER, the United States Geological Survey, and the South Florida Water Management District to complete the first phase of the program, i.e. the development of pollutant travel time contours around approximately 70 existing wellfields in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. The methodology and procedures used to develop the travel times are described in this report.
