HomeExcavations
Chapter 556, Florida Statutes, requires that any person with the intent to excavate in the State of Florida, call Sunshine State One Call of Florida (SSOCOF) at 8-1-1 not less than two nor more than five full business days before beginning any excavation or demolition.
A Miami-Dade County Ordinance passed in August 2000 includes a provision requiring that the boundaries of all proposed excavations of 1,000 feet or less -- including do-it-yourself jobs -- be marked with a white water-based paint. This should be done before the excavator calls Sunshine State One Call of Florida.
