USER NOTES:
An accuracy assessment is not available, and not particularly relevant for this 
layer. The CERP project boundary lines and project attribution are updated 
regularly.
This data of Region boundaries is intended to include all known CERP Regions.  
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 012.00 Dated 4-18-2 are reflected 
herein.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

Coverage was developed to be the basis of which all maps, analysis or other GIS 
functions, are to be based. This is to eliminate different versions of the same 
boundaries. All CERP Projects and Components belong to a CERP Region.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy
has not been verified by GeoPlan

has not been verified by GeoPlan

This map is a conceptual tool utilized for project development only.
This map 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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
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 BDWMDRGN to SFWMD_BDWMDRGN
- A DESCRIPT field was added based on PROJ_NAME
- A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date of download.
Process Date: 20080513

downloaded bdwmdrgn on 5/4/12 from sfwmd. one record was different. updated the following information for that record: updated REGIONNAME and DESCRIPT: "NORTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY" changed to "LOXAHATCHEE RIVER WATERSHED" updated FGDLAQDATE to "5/4/12" Process Date: 20120507
