FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
Item | Item Description | |
OBJECTID |
Internal feature number. |
|
Shape |
Feature geometry. |
|
SPRING_KEY |
DEP generated primary key computer generated consecutive numbers from spring masterlist. |
|
DATA_SOURC |
Originator of basic record information used for this dataset. |
|
SPRING_NAM |
Name given by source information. |
|
STATION_NA |
Name of station. |
|
STATION_ID |
Unique code to identify station. |
|
COUNTY |
The county assigned to the station. This may not agree with GIS attribution when a water feature is associated with more than one county. The assigned county for springs is based on bulletin 66. |
|
SPRING_TYP |
Undefined by source. |
|
MAGNITUDE |
FDEP magnitude classification based on discharge for individual spring vents.
|
|
HISTORIC_M |
Assigned historic magnitudes for a spring or group of springs. |
|
STATION_AL |
Undefined by source. |
|
SPRING_CLU |
Undefined by source. |
|
BASIN_GROU |
TMDL rotating basin number. |
|
IWR_CLASSI |
Water classification value. |
|
WBID |
FDEP water body (ID) code, used for assessing water quality in the impaired waters rule (IWR). |
|
IWR_WBID_C |
Undefined by source. |
|
IWR_BASIN_ |
Undefined by source. |
|
TMDL_BASIN |
FDEP TMDL basin consisting of one or more major river basins, I.E., one or more hydrologic unit codes. |
|
WATER_MGMT |
The water management district the spring is located. |
|
TMDL_PLANN |
The TDML planning unit the spring is located in. |
|
DEP_DISTRI |
The FDEP district the spring is located in. |
|
QA_COMMENT |
Notes from staff during the locational GA process. |
|
DESCRIPT |
Based on SPRING_NAM. |
|
FGDLAQDATE |
The date FGDL aquired the data. |
|
AUTOID |
Unique ID added by GeoPlan |
The integrity of the data is as supplied by multiple data providers. An official FDEP spring name was assigned to assist in providing a generic naming convention to all Florida springs. Where there was more than one spring in the state with a similar name the county was also included in the spring name. There may be times where the station name is inaccurate or does not adhere to the official FDEP naming convention. |
This dataset contains the best available location for springs that have had some data collection activities in the State of Florida. Currently, 756 unique spring vents are represented in this dataset. |
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. |
The primary sources for this dataset were Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Springs database, online springs station inventories maintained by the State of Florida's Water Management Districts, data downloads from GWIS, STORET, USGS, and the Florida Geological Survey's Bulletin 31 and 66 Springs of Florida Encyclopedia. The FDEP has revised the classification system for magnitude to add clarity for those springs that may stop flowing on an intermittent or permanent basis. |
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) SPRING MAGNITUDE CATEGORIES for this report (see Entity Attributes) was developed to differentiate between those springs that may flow once again in the future, depending on aquifer levels and recharge (Magnitude = 0), and those springs that have ceased flowing entirely and are not expected to recover regardless of changes in hydrogeologic and climatic conditions (Magnitude = None). This layer is intended to be used for mapping purposes, and as a reference to the locations of sites where data collection has taken place in spring vents. Users of this information are encouraged to provide comments and recommendations for updates. |
The best available location for each spring was selected based on the following general hierarchy - FGS Bulletin 66, WMDs, USGS and then STORET. All of the springs were projected to the Florida Albers coordinate system from the "native" latitude/longitude. |

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.
