This layer is meant to be used primarily as a cartographic tool, not for analytical use or for the legal determination of district boundaries. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FDEP Information and Data Disclaimer FDEP GIS data is provided as a public service. FDEP makes every effort to provide accurate and complete data. Metadata is provided for all datasets and no data should be used without first reading and understanding the limitations of the data. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) provides NO WARRANTY as to the accuracy of this data or any corresponding attributes or metadata. Data is provided in an "as is" condition, without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including any assurance that the data is fit for a particular purpose.

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 DEP boundary line coverage was first derived from a coverage of the Water Management District Boundaries. These WMD Boundaries were digitized on 1:24,000 mylar Quad maps from meets and bounds of the WMD State Statute. DEP district boundaries deviate from these WMD boundaries only along county lines. The needed county lines were digitized using the MYLAR maps. The coverage was projected from Lambert Conformal Area to Albers Equal Area and exported using ARC/INFO in a vms environment. The export file was ftp'd to a DEC/ALPHA UNIX system, imported, and inserted into the quad library. In Spring '97 the data was converted from NAD27 to HPGN using the projection command within ARC/INFO version 7.0.4. In Summer of '97 the DEP District Boundaries bordering several Districts were relocated. At this time the entire coverage was reproduced by selecting corresponding county boundaries, plss section lines and roads from the 1:24,000 DLGs. In October of '97, the DEP line coverage was combined with the 1:2m USGS polygon boundary coverage. Dangles and label errors and attribution were corrected within Arc/Info 7.1.1. In Spring, 1999, the shapefile of this dataset was inserted in Spatial Database Engine (SDE 3.0.2). During August, 2000, the SDE layer was separated into areas and lines in order to accommodate the data's maintenance in ArcSDE 8 and use in ArcMap in ArcInfo 8. Process Date: |
