TITLE: SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT CRITICAL RESTORATION PROJECTS

Geodataset Name:       SFWMD_BDWMDCRR
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    Polygon
Feature Count:         10
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Critical Restoration Projects are environmental restoration efforts considered critical in nature. 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 Critical Restoration Projects, intended to be used by all researchers and collaborators in the Critical Restoration process. Attribution on the map shows the project names, key contacts, and other critical information for these different projects. The updated version of this coverage is maintained by the Land Resources Program on a program SDE server, in a dataset named SFWBnds and the feature class is CriticalBnd. The official layer name in the GIS library will be 'bdwmdcrr'.

USER NOTES:
An accuracy assessment is not available, and not particularly relevant for this 
layer. The CRP 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 of project boundaries is intended to include all known Critical 
Restoration 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.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
For additional information users may also contact:
contacts listed for each project shown in the data base attached to this map (see 
attributes section). 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 USGS compendium of information about the South Florida 
environment at www.sofia.usgs.gov/metadata/index.html.

Maintaining consistency of information sources and products is one of the main 
objectives of the Critical Restoration 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.

The level of accuracy of the linework is captured in the attribute 'level'.  For more 
detail see attributes section overview.

This data is a conceptual tool utilized for project development only.
This data is not self-executing or binding, and does not otherwise

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED

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:
A number of survey/mapping processes have been used to acquire this data, 
varying with each project.   For more information about how the acquired data is 
prepared and added in to the data set, contact the data stewards in Land 
Acquisition.

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the South Florida Water Management District website (http://my.sfwmd.gov/gisapps/sfwmdxwebdc/) in May 2008. The data downloaded was in shapefile format and was in the following projection: State Plane East Harn. - All records were upcased. - Deleted OBJECTID field - Changed original layer name from BDWMDCRR to SFWMD_BDWMDCRR - A DESCRIPT field was added based on PROJ_NAME - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of download. Process Date: 20080513
Data imported to ArcSDE and exported as a shapefile. Process Date: 20080513
