Description:
Abstract:
This data set contains Brownfield Boundaries. Brownfields are defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) as abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. The primary goals of Florida's Brownfields Redevelopment Act (Ch. 97-277, Laws of Florida, codified at ss. 376.77-.85, F.S.) 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 redevelopment and voluntary cleanup of contaminated properties. A 'brownfield area' means a contiguous area of one or more brownfield sites, some of which may not be contaminated, that has been designated as such by a local government resolution. Such areas may include all or portions of community redevelopment areas, enterprise zones, empowerment zones, other such designated economically deprived communities and areas, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated brownfield pilot projects. This layer provides a polygon representation of the boundaries of these designated Brownfield Areas in Florida. This is an update to the FGDL layer BROWNFIELDS_AREAS_FEB15.
Purpose:
Brownfields data is provided to assist in the determination of areas with potential for economic revitalization. This layer was created to provide a geospatial reference of brownfields within the Brownfields GeoViewer internet mapping application.

Access_Constraints:
The MapDirect Brownfields focus is a publicly accessible tool for viewing, searching and analyzing geographic data of Brownfield real estate in Florida within an internet browser. MapDirect allows you to search hundreds of Florida Brownfields based on various selection criteria and provides the opportunity to encourage the use and reuse of these sites as sources of employment, housing, recreation and open-space areas by providing links to the scanned documentation associated with the BSRA's execution as well as access information on financial incentives, liability protection, and other redevelopment expertise. Visit the site at <http://ca.dep.state.fl.us/imf?> focus=brnflds for more information. For more information on this initiative or general information on the Florida Brownfields Redevelopment Program call 850-245-8934 or the specific Brownfields Coordinator for the FDEP District in which the site resides. Questions and comments may be directed to Kim Walker, Brownfields Liaison, at KIM.WALKER@DEP.STATE.FL.US.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
This layer provides a polygon representation of the boundaries of designated Brownfield Areas within Florida where a resolution has been passed by a local municipality. These polygons were created using various methodologies for creating digital spatial data depending upon the type of information provided by the municipality within the resolution and loosely dependent upon the cadastral (parcel) boundaries provided by the County Property Appraisers at the time when the spatial boundaries were developed. Since the data quality of the cadastral layer varies from county to county, the data quality of the brownfield area polygons will also vary. These methodologies include the following list: Coordinate Geometry (COGO) created from legal descriptions of the area specified in the resolution. Many of the brownfields include a large area with hundreds of property parcels. These boundaries were compared with the most recent cadastral boundaries available from the County Property Appraiser and spatially adjusted where necessary to clearly include the property parcels marked for redevelopment, the roadway right of way areas (where applicable), city boundaries, political boundaries, and other economic incentive zones. Shapefiles, Coverages and CADD files of the area were provided by the local municipality or planning and development agencies in some cases. These shapefiles were used without modification to the geometry to match cadastral boundaries. Coverages and CADD files were converted to a format compatible with the process software. Paper Maps showing the scaled boundaries of the area in relation to property parcels, geographic landmarks, and land surveys are sometimes included in the resolution. These maps are compared to available GIS boundaries in order to locate the specific property parcels referenced. The available cadastral boundaries are used to represent the area where only paper maps or parcel folio numbers are provided.

Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center downloaded the BROWNFIELDS_AREAS.shp dataset on January 4th, 2016 from the FDEP GeoData Directory: <http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm>
BROWNFIELD_AREAS.zip BROWNFIELD_AREAS.shp
The dataset's projection file was redefined from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers.
The dataset's fields were upcased and two new fields were added. DESCRIPT - based on AREA_NAME. FGDLAQDATE - based on the data the data was downloaded from the source.
The dataset had two techniques applied to it, so that the older polygons could function more affectively in our SDE system, so the Topology was updated by running the Integrate Command at an XY Tolerance of 0.5 meter.
Next the ACREAGE field was decreased to a scale of 3 and recalculated.
Next the Shapefile was run through the Repair Geometry GeoProcessing function twice.
Finally the layer was renamed to brownfields_areas_nov15.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
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. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
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>
