Abstract:

The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) is a massive environmental effort encompassing many organizations and projects. Coordination of the projects is one of the main objectives, and GIS is a key technology to coordinate the work. This coverage is an official map of the boundaries of the CERP projects, including Acceler8 projects, intended to be used by all researchers and collaborators in the CERP process.

Attribution on the map shows the project names, key contacts, and other critical information for over 80 different projects. Additional information for each project and for the many programs involved is available on the internet at referenced sites - in particular www.evergladesplan.org.

The updated version of this layer is maintained by the Land Acquisition Program on an Oracle SDE server, feature dataset is SFWBNDS and a feature class named CERPBnds. The official layer name in the SFWMD's GIS library is 'bdwmdcrp'.

Purpose:

Maintaining consistency of information sources and products is one of the main objectives of the CERP strategy. The widespread use of digital formats and modern communications makes it possible to proliferate an unmanageable number of different versions in a short period of time. Data stewardship, centralized tracking and distribution, and improved documentation are some of the preventive measures that data managers will use to insure that consistent versions of high quality data are available to all stakeholders. This data layer of project boundaries, which is a key layer for nearly all CERP applications, is a prime example of that strategy.

Supplemental_Information:

For more information about the CERP Program or the projects shown in this data layer, users should visit the applicable intraweb and internet web sites. A central source for CERP information is found at the site www.evergladesplan.org. A complete list of CERP projects is found at www.evergladesplan.org/pm/projects/index.shtml, which contains links to management plans, calendars, related projects, a glossary of terms, and a tool to select projects by interactive map query.

For additional information users may also contact: contacts listed for each project shown in the data base attached to this map (see attributes section). This data meets the standards set forth for Spatial Data Standards (SDS). The referenced data steward for this spatial layer, and associated development staff. The metadata specialist on staff at GIS Services Division, SFWMD. The contacts and resources listed on the District's web site at www.sfwmd.gov.

The District does not warrant, guarantee, or make any representations regarding the use, or the results of the use, of the information provided to you by the District in terms of correctness, accuracy, reliability, timeliness or otherwise.

Use_Constraints:

This data is a conceptual tool utilized for project development only. This data is not self-executing or binding, and does not otherwise affect the interests of any persons including any vested rights or existing uses of real property.

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 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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

An accuracy assessment is not available, and not particularly relevant for this layer. The CERP project boundary lines and project attribution are updated regularly. The source and quality of the linework is captured in the attribution, so that users are made aware of potential accuracy concerns. This data meets the standards set forth for Spatial Data Standards (SDS).

Completeness_Report:

This data of project boundaries is intended to include all known CERP projects that have a definable spatial extent. An assessment of completeness is not available, but the author is not aware of any errors of omission. This data is continually updated by Land Resources as new information becomes available.

Changes from CERP Guidance Memorandum 002.01 Dated 10-15-2 are reflected herein.
