the original data.
In 1986, the Florida Legislature created the State Underground Petroleum 
Environmental Response Act (SUPER Act) Program in response to 
groundwater contamination resulting from leaking underground petroleum 
storage tanks. The primary authority for the SUPER Act Program was 
given to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), 
Bureau of Petroleum Storage Systems. FDEP oversees the clean-up 
activities around petroleum facilities that have had a loss of petroleum 
product. The Florida Department of Health's SUPER Act Program (per 
Chapter 376.3071(4)(g), Florida Statutes), was given authority to provide 
field and laboratory services, toxicological risk assessments, investigations 
of drinking water contamination complaints and education of the public. 

Recognizing the number of contaminated facilities and the threat to drinking 
water, the Department of Health was given public health responsibility of
 identifying drinking water wells around contaminated petroleum facilities. In 
addition, a representative number of drinking water wells are sampled for 
petroleum contamination. Since the program's inception, County Health 
Departments (CHDs) have investigated contaminated sites statewide and 
sampled drinking water systems under the direction of the State Health Office. 
These services are funded by the Legislature through the Inland Protection Trust 
Fund. FDEP's FLUWID program - As part of a cooperative agreement with FDEP, 
the Bureau of Water, Petroleum Surveillance Program (SUPER Act) participates 
in their FLUWID (Florida Unique Well Identification) program. The program's goal is 
to simplify water well identification and exchange of information between state 
agencies concerned with well construction data, well location and groundwater
 quality. The program involves tagging wells with a unique alphanumeric code 
called the FLUWID Well ID (Example: ABC1234). 


For more information regarding the SUPER Act Program, visit our website at http://www.superact.org.

Locates and identifies contaminated facilities for planning purposes.

GPS Equipment used/data accuracy - Within the last several years, Real-time 
Differential GPS receivers (RDGPS) have been used to provide a location 
accuracy within five meters. However, some older data was collected using 
non-RDGPS sources including digitized maps and handheld devices used for 
recreational GPS. Refer to the "GPS_Status" field in each table to determine 
if accuracy is RDGPS.

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

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 Florida Department of Health in May of 
2011. The data downloaded was in shapefile format from the following webpage:
http://www.doh.state.fl.us/environment/programs/ehgis/EhGisDownload.htm
The data was in the following geographical coordinate system:
WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees. The following QA/QC process steps 
were undertaken:

- Reprojected the data to FGDL Albers HPGN
- All records were uppercased.
- Removed empty fields RISK_OPTION, RISK_OPT_1, and RISK_OPT_2 
- Added a DESCRIPT based on RISK_SOURC.
- Added a FGDLAQDATE field  based on date GeoPlan acquired the data
  from the source.
- Renamed the dataset from RiskSource to superact_risk_apr11
Process Date: 20110524
