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.
Purpose:
Provide a spatial distribution of the State of Florida’s Adopted TMDLs. Adopted TMDLs are separated into three layers.

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'.

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>
