USER NOTES:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

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

A Mitigation Bank is a privately or publicly owned operation in which wetlands, uplands and/or other aquatic resources are restored, created, enhanced, or preserved by a mitigation bank operator for the purpose of compensatory offsetting of adverse impacts to wetlands and surface waters elsewhere. Under the Environmental Reorganization Act of 1993 (Section 373.4135, F.S.), Florida DEP and Florida water management districts were directed to "encourage and participate in the establishment of private and public regional mitigation areas and mitigation banks." This layer represents mitigation banks permitted by these agencies. Most boundaries are fairly accurate when checked against aerials; however, some are suspect and should only be used to determine the relative size and location of the bank. In no case are the boundaries surveyed or digitized to legal descriptions.

A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:250000 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:
Data updated from the shapefile provided by Richard Butgereit (WRM) and 
inserted in ArcSDE. Metadata was updated.
Process Date: 20060501

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection website (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/) in June 2006. -Changed projection file to FGDL Albers HPGN. -Upcased all records in the table. -Added Descript field based on Bankname. -Added FGDLAQDATE.
