Abstract:
This dataset contains Subsidence Incident Reports for the State of Florida. A Subsidence Incident / Sinkholes are closed depressions in areas underlain by soluble rock such as limestone, dolostone, gypsum, or salt. Sinkholes form when surface sediments subside into underground voids created by the dissolving action of groundwater in the underlying bedrock. Other subterranean events can cause holes, depressions or subsidence of the land surface that may mimic sinkhole activity. These include subsurface expansive clay or organic layers which compress as water is removed, collapsed or broken sewer and drain pipes or broken septic tanks, improperly compacted soil after excavation work, and even buried trash, logs and other debris. Commonly, a reported depression is not verified by a licensed professional geologist to be a true sinkhole, and the cause of subsidence is not known. Such an event is called a subsidence incident. The Florida Geological Survey maintains and provides a downloadable database of reported subsidence incidents statewide. While this data may include some true sinkholes, the majority of the incidents have not been field-checked and the cause of subsidence is not verified. This dataset is an update to the FGDL layer SIR_AUG11.shp
Purpose:
To map the occurrence and spatial distribution of subsidence incidents in Florida.
Supplemental_Information:
Subsidence Incident Reports Sinkholes are closed depressions in areas underlain by soluble rock such as limestone, dolostone, gypsum, or salt. Sinkholes form when surface sediments subside into underground voids created by the dissolving action of groundwater in the underlying bedrock.
Other events that can cause holes, depressions or subsidence of the land surface that may mimic sinkhole activity include:
-> subsurface expansive clay or organic layers which compress as water is removed, -> collapsed or broken sewer and drain pipes; broken septic tanks; -> improperly compacted soil after excavation work; and -> buried trash, logs and other debris.
Commonly, a reported depression is not verified by a Licensed Professional Geologist to be a true sinkhole, and the cause of subsidence is not known. Such an event is called a subsidence incident. The Florida Geological Survey maintains and provides a downloadable database of reported subsidence incidents statewide. While this data may include some true sinkholes, the majority of the incidents have not been field-checked and the cause of subsidence is not verified.

Florida Geological Survey General Disclaimer:
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data and maps produced by the Florida Geological Survey (FGS), an office of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), are provided solely as a general reference for state geologic features, are not warranted for any other use or purpose, and are not intended to replace site-specific or use-specific investigations Use of FGS data and maps by an end-user for any purpose other than general reference shall free the FDEP and the FGS from any and all liability for outcomes resulting from unintended or inappropriate applications of FGS spatial data. Examples of such applications include but are not limited to the mapping of point data with respect to cadastral boundaries, the use of geologic data for engineering purposes, and the interpolation of results of broad-scale GIS modeled surfaces to local areas that may or may not be deemed geologically analogous.
As with all spatial data, the attributes and exact coordinates of features depicted in FGS maps, coverages and datasets are subject to inherent errors due to limitations in the resources and technology available to record data. Please keep in mind that older maps, projects, and data were developed using the best tools and knowledge available at the time, and that spatial data standards and the tools used to develop these data have improved significantly over the last several years. Existing maps and projects are sometimes updated and enhanced with new data of higher precision, and thus are subject to change. The FGS makes every effort to provide the most up-to-date and accurate geographic information possible, but cannot be held liable for the use of outdated data regardless of whether more current data have been obtained, analyzed, or made available by the FGS or FDEP.
Any modifications of FGS spatial data or maps by end-users must be acknowledged and noted appropriately in all subsequent products and analysis, and any FDEP/FGS logos or author information must be removed from altered FGS products prior to distribution to any other individual or entity. All FGS spatial data and maps are distributed on an "as is" basis and end-users shall assume all risks concerning data quality, performance, and analytic results. The same shall also be true concerning the use of unpublished drafts of FGS products, which may not be distributed to other individuals or entities without prior FGS approval.
Comments and inquiries regarding FDEP/FGS spatial data, maps, projects, and other analysis are encouraged and the FGS asks to be notified of any documented errors or inaccuracies. As a professional courtesy, the FDEP/FGS asks that due credit be given when our data sets are utilized by other individuals or entities. Further, since some or all of the data yielded from each FGS project were developed using public funds, no proprietary rights may be attached to FGS products wholly or in part, nor may FGS products be sold to the U.S. Government or the Florida State Government as part of any procurement of products or services. By using FGS spatial data or maps for any purpose other than general reference, the end-user acknowledges all the aforementioned stipulations and absolves the FDEP/FGS completely of any responsibility for unintended or inappropriate usage. For questions, comments, or observations regarding FGS spatial datasets or maps, including questions concerning appropriate uses for specific datasets, please contact the FGS GIS analyst listed below.

The GeoPlan Center downloaded the original dataset from the following Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) - Florida Geological Survey (FGS) website on February 16th, 2015.
<http://www.dep.state.fl.us/geology/gisdatamaps/SIRs_database.htm> Subsidence_Incident_Reports_Oct24-2014_WGS84.zip
The dataset was originally called Subsidence_Incident_Reports_Oct24-2014_WGS84.shp The dataset was originally in the GCS_WGS_1984 projection.
The dataset was reprojected from it's original projection GCS_WGS_1984 to the FGDL Albers projection. Using the following transformations: WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida
The dataset was renamed to SIR_OCT14.shp The dataset Attribute table was upper cased. The field DESCRIPT was added based on "SIR REFERENCE NUMBER: " & [REF_NUM] Features with no DESCRIPT value were calculated to "NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE" The field FGDLAQDATE was added and populated.
Please Note: There is a 1.7m shift between this dataset and the SIR_AUG11.shp dataset.

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