This program includes approximately 5,600 mobile home parks, lodging 
and recreational vehicle parks, and recreational camps in Florida. The 
objective of this program is to minimize the risk of injury and illness in 
this residential environment. The objective is accomplished through 
routine inspections of these parks and camps ensuring the residents' 
risks for disease from an environmental origin are minimized. The 
inspections focus on the following: 1) proper sewage disposal to 
minimize the risk of diseases such as hepatitis, salmonella, and shigella; 
2), safe drinking water to minimize the risks of diseases such as giardia 
and cryptosporidium; 3) safe solid waste collection and disposal to 
minimize rat and roach infestations, as well as reservoirs for mosquitoes 
and associated diseases such as West Nile Virus, Dengue, St. Louis and 
Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Also of concern is a safe and disease free 
swimming pool, where applicable.

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.

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. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Health in November of 
2011. The data downloaded was in shapefile format from the following webpage:
http://www.doh.state.fl.us/environment/programs/ehgis/EhGisDownload.htm
The data was in the following geographical coordinate system:
WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees. The following QA/QC process steps 
were undertaken:

- Reprojected the data to FGDL Albers HPGN
- Removed 262 records due to erroneous/missing spatial information.
- Removed the empty field SepticAppl.
- All records were uppercased.
- Added a DESCRIPT based on Company_Nam.
- Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date GeoPlan acquired the data
  from the source.
- Renamed the dataset from Mobile_Home_Parks to mhrv_nov11
