Most of the dredged material disposed in the ocean is disposed at ocean dumping sites specifically designated by EPA for dredged material disposal under section 102 of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA). EPA designated sites are to be used for ocean disposal to the extent feasible. All ocean dumping sites are required to have a site management and monitoring plan (SMMP) which can be found for each individual site at: http://www.epa.gov/region04/water/oceans/sites.html. Appropriate management of ocean dumping sites is aimed at assuring that disposal activities will not unreasonably degrade or endanger human health, welfare, the marine environment or economic potentialities. Management of ocean dredged material disposal sites involves: 1. Regulating the times, the quantity, and the physical/chemical characteristics of dredged material that is dumped at the site; 2. Establishing disposal controls, conditions, and requirements to avoid and minimize potential impacts to the marine environment; and 3. Monitoring the site environs to verify that unanticipated or significant adverse effects are not occurring from past or continued use of the disposal site and that permit terms are met. |
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes. |

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 |

The GeoPlan Center received this data via email from Chris McArthur on October 14th, 2008. When received the data was in the projection NAD27. The layer was projected to NAD83 HARN. The fields in the table were created by GeoPlan based on the information available at: http://www.epa.gov/region04/water/oceans/sites.html. - Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date received from source. - Upcased all records in attribute table. - Renamed file from R4_ODMDS to epadrdg_jun08 Process Date: 20081014 |
