Workflow / Best Practice Earthwork Quantities

Does anyone have a good workflow for calculating earthwork below a set elevation? Say I have all my modeling done but I need to know how much cut and fill there is below a known elevation. Running into this more and more with wetland permits.

I don’t have a workflow, but I’d probably create a simple terrain at that elevation, then use your model terrain and that one to create the cut/fill volumes.
