USER NOTES:
Attribute accuracy is relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the originl data layer

While these boundaries represent a reasonable approximation of the mitigation banks, they are not intended for pinpoint accuracy.


A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or
modelling 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.

1:250000 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 analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Coverage was created in StatePlane coordinate system using the hydro-24,
road-24 and plss-24 DEP library layers as background coverages. 
Used ARCEDIT/COGO modules to insert the mitigation boundaries according 
to legal descriptions. 
 
In Spring '97, the data was converted from NAD27 to HPGN using the 
projection command within ARC/INFO version 7.0.4.
Process Date: 19970312

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection website (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/) in May 2004. The data was downloaded as a shapefile in the following projection: NAD 83 to FGDL Albers HPGN. -Upcased all records in the table. -Added Descript field based on Bankname. -Updated area and perimeter fields that contained values of 0. Process Date: 20040602
