This dataset contains mitigation boundaries for select Department of Environmental Protection areas based on legal descriptions. This data layer is an update from the MGBANK layer in FGDL Version 2005.
The data set associated with this data layer were gathered by ERP staff from GIS datasets collected from individual mitigation banks, from the water management district that permitted the mitigation bank or by creating the data from permit drawings and descriptions. Therefore, while these boundaries represent a reasonable approximation of the MSAs, they are not intended for pinpoint accuracy.

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.

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.

Spatial and Attribute Information
Data updated from the shapefile provided by Richard Butgereit (WRM) and inserted in ArcSDE. Metadata was updated.
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.
