TITLE: BROWNFIELD POLYGON AREAS
Geodataset Name: BROWNFIELDS_AREAS Geodataset Type: SHAPEFILE Geodataset Feature: POLYGONGENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains Brownfields areas which are abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. Florida's Brownfields Redevelopment Act primary goals are to reduce health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards and create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage voluntary cleanup and redevelopment of sites. |

A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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. 1:250000 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 analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

Information was obtained from local sources in one of the following formats: ArcView shapefiles, paper maps, and legal descriptions. Boundaries from paper maps were digitized over the 1994-1995 DOQQs with various other existing layers for reference, such as TIGER Roads, USGS Railroads (24k), and FDOT Local Roads, using ArcView 3.2a ArcView shapefiles were reprojected and imported into the base polygon shapefile. Where shapefiles and paper maps were not available, legal descriptions were used to create the boundaries using COGO (Coordinate Geometry) in ArcInfo 8.0.2 Locational quality information was maintained throughout data development by recording the USERNAME, DATESTAMP, and SOURCE for each feature. See METHOD field to determine which process was used to develop each feature. Graphics and attributes of the original 44 Brownfields current at the time of data development were visually verified by Camisha Clarke and Carl Eichenberger and independently QCd by Patrick Pence. Finally, useful fields from the original database were joined to the polygons. 10/31/01 A seventh Ocala Brownfield area was added by screen digitizing. Process Date: 2000 |
