Description:

Abstract:

The verified list of impaired waters is the list of Florida's waterbodies that do not meet or are not expected to meet applicable water quality standards with technology-based controls alone. The Secretary of FDEP adopted verified lists for the Cycle 1 Group 1-5 basins and for Cycle 2 Group 1 Basins. The Secretary of FDEP adopted final list of waters delisted from the 1998 303 (d) list and the Cycle 1 Group 1 verified list. The FDEP must develop pollutant loading limits known as Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for these waters. A TMDL is the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and remain healthy. It identifies the amount of a pollutant that must be removed from an impaired waterbody to restore its health.

Purpose:

Purpose of this dataset is to spatial representation of the areas for which an impairment in a water feature has been determined.

Supplemental_Information:

For more information on the verified list or delist, please contact Julie Espy, FDEP, julie.espy@dep.state.fl.us, (850) 245-8416.

Process_Description:

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection website (<http://dep.state.fl.us/water/basin411/download.htm>) in July 2009. The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers, NAD 83, GRS 80.
- A DESCRIPT field was added based on BASIN_1. - FGDLAQDATE was added based on date downloaded from source. - Renamed file from VerifiedImpaired1_6_09 to impaired_waters_sep08. - Deleted Object_ID, Area, and Length fields. - Upcased all records in the table

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>
