The majority of the data in the attributes table are derived from 
the Hazardous Waste Cleanup Section's HAZARD Oracle database.  
ACRES, CEN_LAT and CEN_LONG were calculated from polygon 
shapes using Visual Basic Scripts (Note:  Polygons had to be projected 
to geographical coordinates to get CEN_LAT and CEN_LONG information).  
Documentation for these scripts are located in the ERSI Knowledge 
Base (Making field calculations).
USER NOTES:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity
of the original data layer's topology
This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our
knowledge.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
Dataset consists of polygons created primarily from BASE.CADASTRAL_2005 
dataset using DEP documents (Site Investigation, Site Assessment Reports, 
Remedial Action Plans, etc.) for general layout of site.  In most cases this correlates 
to parcels owned by the PSRP.  In a small number of cases, other data were used 
to generate the site outlines (e.g., earlier parcel data - BASE.CADASTRAL_2003, 
survey data, parcel data obtained from directly the counties, or corrected by surveys 
contracted for by DEP, etc.).

Provide location of sites proposed, active or delisted from the list.

Data primarily derived from DEP base.cadastral.shp parcels 
and is, therefore, as accurate as the parcel data.  Some sites 
were adjusted to correct errors in the cadastral data, when the 
correction was known.

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

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:
