This dataset contains only Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) which have been established by the EPA in the State of Florida. A TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) 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. TMDLs must be developed, adopted and implemented for the identified pollutants to reduce the pollutants and restore the water body so that designated uses are attained. This layer was created using data from the EPA TMDL website here: http://iaspub.epa.gov/apex/waters/f?p=131:12. All features shown as having a mercury impairment were removed from the dataset.
The purpose of the dataset is to display all Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) which were established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the State of Florida.

GeoPlan downloaded the following dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection website on May 29th, 2018. Florida Department of Environmental Protection Geospatial Open Data: http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/epa-established-total-maximum-daily-loads-tmdls Please Note: Data also available from the following FTP website: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/otis/gis/data/epa_established_tmdl.zip The original layer, EPA_ESTABLISHED_TMDL.gdb, was renamed to epa_est_tmdl_mar16.shp Next the projection file was redefined from the FDEP Albers projection to the FGDL Albers projection. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on BASIN_NAME and WBID. [BASIN_NAME] & " [WBID: " & [WBID] & "]" - FGDLAQDATE was added based on date downloaded from source. - Deleted Object_ID, Area, and Length fields. - Upcased all records in the table

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
