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. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center

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:
February 2014: RA Plan was submitted for SDE Layer update. This data 
was previously a part of the Statewide BMAP Areas SDE Layer and was 
removed from that layer in January 2014. Charles Gauthier requested that 
the RA Plan data be submitted as its own SDE layer on Feb 12, 2014.
Process Date: 20140212

Obtained data for a new layer from DEAR and inserted the same in SDE/DataMiner. Data published in MapDirect. Process Date: 20140214
This dataset was downloaded by the GeoPlan Center from the FDEP website (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp) on 7/2/2014. When received the data set was in the following projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN. - Added the field DESCRIPT based on PROJECT. - Added the field FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source. - Upcased all text in the attribute table. - Deleted OBJECTID and ACRES field. - Data set was renamed NON_BMAP_TMDL_RA_FEB14 from RA_PLANS_NON_BMAP_TMDL Process Date: 20140702
