SRWTP - Deep Injection Well 3 & 4 Pump Station: Hollywood, Florida Distribution Pump Station

SRWTP - Deep Injection Well 3 & 4 Pump Station is a distribution pump station located at 1621 N 14th Ave, Hollywood, Florida, within Broward County. This facility is part of the Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWTP) system and is classified under NAICS 221320 (Sewage Treatment Facilities). It serves as a critical component for managing treated effluent through deep injection wells, a common practice in Florida to protect surface waters. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for underground injection control (UIC). Deep injection wells are designed to dispose of treated wastewater into deep saline aquifers, requiring stringent permitting and monitoring to prevent groundwater contamination. The pump station likely includes high-pressure pumps and monitoring equipment to ensure safe and compliant injection. Environmental significance lies in its role in wastewater management and aquifer protection. By injecting treated effluent deep underground, the facility reduces nutrient loading to sensitive coastal ecosystems like the Everglades and Biscayne Bay. This method also helps manage water supply by recharging deep aquifers, though it requires careful oversight to avoid impacts on underground sources of drinking water.

The facility operates in a region with high environmental sensitivity due to the proximity of the Everglades and Biscayne Bay. Deep injection wells are used to dispose of treated wastewater, reducing surface water pollution but requiring strict regulatory compliance to protect underground sources of drinking water. The local geology, characterized by porous limestone, necessitates careful monitoring to prevent contamination of the Floridan Aquifer.
