CH2M HILL Selected Program Manager For Miami-Dade Ocean Outfall Legislation Program

CH2M HILL has been awarded a program management contract for the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department’s $3.3 billion Ocean Outfall Legislation (OOL) Program.

The 11-year OOL Program is the culmination of a regulatory mandate by the Florida Legislature to stop all wastewater discharge to the ocean by 2025.

As program manager, CH2M HILL will manage the program that encompasses the design, procurement, construction and commissioning of an estimated 28 capital projects. CH2M HILL will oversee all activities necessary to reverse the county’s wastewater system flows away from the ocean outfalls and reroute flows to a new membrane bioreactor treatment plant. The plant, when complete, will be one of the largest of its kind in the world – capable of treating more than 100 million gallons of wastewater each day and injecting the treated water into deep wells.
