Abstract:
This dataset contains National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater MS4 Permits in Florida. NPDES Stormwater MS4 Permits - A Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System or MS4 is defined in Rule 62-624.200(8), F.A.C., as follows: Municipal separate storm sewer or MS4 means a conveyance or system of conveyances like roads with stormwater systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, constructed channels, or storm drains: Owned or operated by a State, city, town, county, special district, association, or other public body (created by or pursuant to State Law) having jurisdiction over management and discharge of stormwater, or an Indian tribe or an authorized Indian tribal organization, that discharges to waters of the state; Designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater; Which is not a combined sewer; and Which is not part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). POTW means any device or system used in the treatment of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature which is owned by a "State" or "municipality." This definition includes sewers, pipes, or other conveyances only if they convey wastewater to a POTW providing treatment. This dataset is an update to the FGDL dataset NPDES_STORMWATER (20070601).
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for
a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

The GeoPlan Center downloaded the Florida NPDES Stormwater MS4 Permits
dataset on August 1st, 2018 from the FDEP Data Portal:

NPDES_STORMWATER_MS4_PERMITS.zip
NPDES_STORMWATER_MS4_PERMITS.gdb

The GDB layer was exported to shapefile.

The dataset's projection was redefined to FGDL Albers.

During the QA/QC process the following tasks were undertaken:
- Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers.
- Deleted the OBJECTID field.
- Uppercased all records in the table.
- A DESCRIPT field was added based on PERMITTEE and PERMIT_ID.
- A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source.
- Renamed file from NPDES_STORMWATER_MS4_PERMITS to 
  NPDES_STORMWATER_AUG07.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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
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. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
