Surface Water Management General Permit D Miami-Dade County
About This Dataset
This dataset maps all construction projects in Miami-Dade that have surface water management permits—essentially showing where stormwater systems are being built or upgraded to protect our water quality and prevent flooding. It tracks permits required by Florida law to ensure new development doesn't pollute our aquifer or surface waters, and that drainage systems can handle major storms.
Why This Matters
- A resident considering buying property in a flood-prone area can check if infrastructure improvements are underway nearby that might reduce their flood risk.
- A contractor or developer needs to verify permit status and see what similar projects have been approved to guide their own permit application.
- Environmental advocates monitoring water quality can track where major stormwater infrastructure work is happening to ensure projects meet pollution-reduction standards.
