Cut Fill Basin A Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps three special drainage basins in Miami-Dade County (Bird Drive, North Trail, and Basin B) where strict flood protection rules apply to new construction. If you're planning to build or renovate in these areas, you'll need a Cut and Fill Review to show how your project will handle stormwater from major storms—or you may qualify to pay into a county stormwater fund instead.
Why This Matters
- A developer checking whether their proposed office building in the North Trail Basin qualifies for the stormwater compensation fund or needs to design retention ponds on-site
- A homeowner considering an addition to their house in the Bird Drive Basin area wanting to understand what drainage requirements they'll face before talking to a contractor
- A city planner evaluating where new residential projects can be approved based on drainage basin restrictions and flood risk zones
