This is a statewide layer representing mitigation banks permitted under Ch. 373.4136, Florida Statutes. Florida mitigation bank information is important for wetland permit reviewers and developers that may need mitigation options. The layer can also serve to enhance information on conservation lands. Mitigation Banks may be permitted by DEP or a Water Management District, but are used by both agencies, creating the need for a statewide layer. Mitigation banking is a practice in which an environmental enhancement and preservation project is conducted by a public agency or private entity (banker) to provide mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts within a defined region (represented in the Mitigation Banks Service Area layer). The bank is the site itself (this data layer), and the currency sold by the banker to the impact permittee is a credit, which represents the wetland ecological value equivalent to the complete restoration of one acre. The number of potential credits permitted for the bank and the credit debits required for impact permits are determined by the permitting agencies, and this information is provided in the data layer table. For more information on mitigation banking, go to https://floridadep.gov/water/submerged-lands-environmental-resources-coordination/content/mitigation-and-mitigation-banking. This is an update to mgbank_apr17.
The purpose of this layer is to aggregate mitigation bank permit and spatial information from DEP and the Water Management Districts into one statewide layer. It represents available data up to April, 2018. A statewide layer for Mitigation Bank Service Areas is also available and linked by Bank Name.

Added additional banks: Normandy, Lake Washington. Removed existing bank: Jacks Branch. Updated contact information for several banks.
The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process: - Downloaded the dataset from FDEP's FTP site on 8/7/2018 using this link: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/otis/gis/data/ - Dataset from the FDEP website was originally downloaded in a file geodatabase format and in the NAD 1983 HARN Florida GDL Albers coordinate system. - Define Projection tool used to move dataset into the FGDL Albers HPGN projection. - DESCRIPT field added based on the BANK_NAME field. Any records with no data in the BANK_NAME field had their DESCRIPT field calculated as 'NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE' - FGDLAQDATE field added based on the date the dataset was downloaded from the source. - The longest record for each field was calculated and field character lengths were shortened to the appropriate shortest length possible. - Uppercased fields and records in the dataset. - Layer name changed from Mitigation_Banks.shp to mgbank_apr18.shp.

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.

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.
