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.

A Mitigation Service Area (MSA) is established, by permit, for each Mitigation 
Bank according to guidelines set forth in Chapter 373.4136(6), Florida Statutes 
and Rule 62-342.600, F.A.C. It is the area within which specific types of 
permitted wetland impacts could be expected to be offset within the mitigation bank. 

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


This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan



This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan



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:
