Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains watersheds that have water quality characterized by elevated phosphorus levels and are restricted to the amount of phosphorus that can be imported into the watersheds. Phosphorus can only be applied at agronomic rates.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE "AS IS" AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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 more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>.

These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding."

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
The dataset consists of 4 watersheds and some specific counties that have high levels of phosphorus in the surface water. As a result, these watersheds have restrictions on the amount of phosphorus that can be imported into the watersheds and applied to the land. The 4 watersheds are Lake Okeechobee, Lake Apopka, the Green Swamp and the Everglades Protection Area (EPA), and the counties include all of Glades, Hendry and Okeechobee.

Process_Description:
The Phosphorus Restrictive Basins was created from the drainage basins coverage (basin-24 (area)). The watersheds were created by unioning the appropriate drainage basins in the basin-24 cover. Some additional modifications (subtracting and splitting polygons) were made to create the Green Swamp boundary. The watershed boundaries for Lake Apopka and Lake Okeechobee area based on the boundaries established by the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program. The boundary for the Everglades Protection Area (EPA) is based on the Everglades Forever Act (EFA). The boundary used for the Green Swamp is describe in chapter 22F-5, Florida Administrative Code.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Senate Bill 1906 modified Section 373.4595, Florida Statutes (Lake Okeechobee Protection Program) to include all of Hendry, Glades and Okeechobee counties in limiting the land application of phosphorus-containing wastes, including domestic wastewater residuals, septage and animal manure.

The extents of Okeechobee, Glades and Hendry Counties beyond the existing phosphorous restricted basins were added to the data set. The new polygons were created by UNIONing the dataset DEP.PHOSPHOROUS_RESTRICTIVE_BASINS in SDE with a subset of the dataset BASE.BOUNDARIES_2M, consisting of the boundaries of Okeechobee, Glades and Hendry Counties. The resulting polygons were aggregated by 'BASIN" and values for the 'BASIN' attribute were entered for each of the new features.

Process_Description:
In July of 2004, the GeoPlan Center downloaded this data from the FDEP website (<http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp>) in shapefile format. This following steps were conducted. -added 'DESCRIPT' field based on 'BASIN" -upcased all text in attribute table.
