This dataset contains statewide coverage of Storage Retrieval (STORET) sampling stations in Florida. STORET is an acronym for STORage and RETrieval database, and is currently used for the storage of biological, chemical, and physical data for ground and surface waters. While the United States Environmental Protection Agency designed STORET as a national water quality database, Florida's STORET database design is dictated by a state regulation called the Impaired Waters Rule (Chapter 62-303, Florida Administrative Code). Many organizations provide data to STORET.
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Though numerous efforts are made regarding the positional accuracy of STORET stations, many locations may not have been verified. FDEP: This data is intended to be used for general informational and planning purposes, and is not appropriate for legal and/or cadastral purposes. FDEP: The data set is NOT a survey document and should not be utilized as such. FDEP GIS data is provided as a public service. FDEP makes every effort to provide accurate and complete data. Metadata is provided for all datasets and no data should be used without first reading and understanding the limitations of the data. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) provides NO WARRANTY as to the accuracy of this data or any corresponding attributes or metadata. Data is provided in an as is condition, without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including any assurance that the data is fit for a particular purpose. FDEP shall have no liability, in any case, to the use of provided data (including redistribution and reproduction).

Spatial and Attribute Information
Script used for the nightly refresh layer was updated to pull the 'WATERBODY_ID' from the Waterbody Ids (WBIDs) DataMiner (DEP.WBIDS_SP_VW) layer instead of the IWR Stations (DEP.IWR_STATIONS) layer. This update was approved by Vilma Quant - STORET Coordinator.

The GeoPlan Center downloaded the STORET Stations dataset on August 1st, 2018 from the FDEP Data Portal: Florida Department of Environmental Protection Geospatial Open Data: http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/ http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/storet-stations Please Note: Data is also available via the FTP website: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/otis/gis/data/storet_stations_sp.zip STORET_STATIONS_SP.zip STORET_STATIONS_SP.gdb The GDB layer was exported to shapefile. The dataset's projection was redefined to FGDL Albers. During the QA/QC process the following tasks were undertaken: - Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers. - Deleted the OBJECTID field. - Uppercased all records in the table. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on STATION_NM and WBID. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source. - Renamed file from STORET_STATIONS_SP to STORET_STATIONS_JAN18.

Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) Coordinate of the Facility. The MGRS is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on the earth. The MGRS provides a means to represent any location on the surface of the Earth using an alphanumeric string. Hierarchical references are based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. The MGRS is used for the entire earth. http://mgrs-data.org/

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.
