Miami-Dade County is considering building a new waste-to-energy facility, or mass burn facility, at the old Opa Locka West Airport located near the border of West Miramar. This new facility is intended as a replacement for the Doral incinerator, which was built before residential development, that caught fire.

Mayor Wayne Messam and the City Commission are against the building of this facility as the new site is less than a mile away from the City of Miramar and has a negative impact on our health and air and water quality.
