Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains Adopted Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) in the State of Florida. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is a scientific determination of the maximum amount of a given pollutant that a surface water can absorb and still meet the water quality standards that protect human health and aquatic life. Water bodies that do not meet water quality standards are identified as "impaired" for the particular pollutants of concern--nutrients, bacteria, mercury, etc.--and TMDLs must be developed, adopted and implemented for those pollutants to reduce pollutants and restore the water body so that designated uses are attained. The threshold limits on pollutants in surface waters--Florida's surface water quality standards on which TMDLs are based--are set forth primarily in rules 62-302 and 62-303, Florida Administrative Code (FAC), and the associated table of water quality criteria. For assessment purposes, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has divided the State of Florida into water assessment polygons with a unique waterbody identification (WBID) number for each water segment. 1) Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Nutrient TMDLs include TMDLs for the following impaired parameters Dissolved Oxygen, BOD, Nutrients, and Un-ionized Ammonia. 2) Bacteria TMDLs include TMDLs that are Fecal Coliform impaired. 3) Other TMDLs include TMDLs for pollutants other than Dissolved Oxygen, Nutrients, and Bacteria, such as Iron, Lead, and Turbidity. TMDL Status: 2-yr workplan: TMDLs to be worked on in the 2014-15 or 2015-16 fiscal years. Under Development: TMDLs in process of being developed. Draft: TMDLs which have held a Rule Development Workshop. State Adopted TMDL: TMDLs which have been adopted in 62-304 FAC. State Adopted and EPA Approved TMDLs: TMDLs which have received approval from the EPA Region 4 office. This is an update to the FGDL layer ADOPTED_TMDLS_OCT13.shp
Purpose:
To provide a spatial distribution of the State of Florida's TMDLs, their status of development and the type of parameters addressed in that TMDL.

GeoPlan downloaded the following datasets from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection website on February 13th, 2015. <http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/basin411/download.htm>
TMDL Assessment Data 1-05-15 Florida Adopted TMDLs (TMDLs_122214.shp)
The data was downloaded in Shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers, NAD 83, GRS 80.
The original layer, TMDLs_122214.shp, was renamed to adopted_tmdls_dec14.shp
Next the projection file was redefined from the FDEP Albers projection to the FGDL Albers projection.
- A DESCRIPT field was added based on WATERBODY and WBID. [WATERBODY] & " [WBID: " & [WBID] & "]" - FGDLAQDATE was added based on date downloaded from source. - Deleted Object_ID, Area, and Length fields. - Upcased all records in the table

Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
