ACRES is the only attribute field. |
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology |
The attributes created by ArcInfo had no defined value within this shapefile and were deleted. XTools pro 7.1 was used to create and update the attribute "ACRES". |
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
Endangered Species Act consultation may be needed outside of the consultation area boundary if suitable soils for skinks are present at elevations at or above 82 feet above mean sea level or if either of these listed skinks or their sign are detected. |
Geographic Information System (GIS) data for the consultation area boundary for sand and blue-tailed mole skinks. The current consultation area map was developed to replace the 2003 consultation area map with an objectively-derived, revised version using the same biological information and data upon which the revised skink survey protocol is based. The consultation area boundary also needed to be understandable for ease of use (i.e., follow county lines or existing landscape features where possible). |
Horizontal accuracy is within the national map accuracy standards for 1:24,000 GIS data. |

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.

The skink consultation boundary was developed using counties where skinks occur (Putnam, Marion, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Highlands, Polk), elevation above sea level, and soils (Apopka, Arredondo, Archbold, Astatula, Candler, Daytona, Duette, Florahome, Gainesville, Hague, Kendrick, Lake, Millhopper, Orsino, Paola, Pomello, Satellite, St. Lucie, Tavares, Zuber). The layer of suitable skink soils (derived from "soils-sfwmd" layer) at elevations at or above 82 feet was merged with the published Lake Wales Ridge (LWR) boundary layer (Weekley et al. 2008).
