- Abstract:
-
Class I and II surface water classification boundaries. The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state be classified according to designated uses. Florida has five classes with associated designated uses, which are arranged in order of degree of protection required: Class I - Potable Water Supplies Fourteen general areas throughout the state including: impoundments and associated tributaries, certain lakes, rivers, or portions of rivers, used as a drinking water supply. Class II - Shellfish Propagation or Harvesting Generally coastal waters where shellfish harvesting occurs. For a more detailed description of classes and specific waterbody designations, see 62-302.400.
- Purpose:
-
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

From <http://www.dep.state.fl.us/water/division/standards/surface.htm>
With over 50,000 miles of rivers and streams, 7800 lakes, and 4000 square miles
of estuaries, Florida has an abundance of surface waters that are used for a
variety of purposes by the people who live and work here, by those who are
visiting, and by the fish and wildlife that also depend on these waters.
To manage surface waters of the state, Florida has developed a surface water
quality standards system. The components of this system include: classifications
criteria, an antidegradation policy, and special protection of certain waters.
The federal Clean Water Act provides the statutory basis for state water quality
standards programs. The regulatory requirements governing these programs (Water
Quality Standards Regulation) are published in 40 CFR 131(PDF).
States are responsible for reviewing, establishing, and revising water quality
standards. The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state
be classified according to designated uses. Florida has five classes with
associated designated uses, which are arranged in order of degree of protection
required:
Class I Potable Water Supplies
Fourteen general areas throughout the state including: impoundments and
associated tributaries, certain lakes, rivers, or portions of rivers, used as
a drinking water supply.
Class II Shellfish Propagation or Harvesting
Generally coastal waters where commercial shellfish harvesting occurs.
Class III Recreation, Propagation and Maintenance of a Healthy, Well-Balanced
Population of Fish and Wildlife
The surface waters of the state are Class III unless described in rule 62-302.40
F.A.C.
Class IV Agricultural Water Supplies
Generally located in agriculture areas around Lake Okeechobee.
Class V Navigation, Utility and Industrial Use.
Currently, there aren't any class V bodies of water. The Fenholloway
River was reclassified as Class III in 1998
To protect these present and future most beneficial uses of the waters, water
quality criteria have been established for each classification. While some of
these are intended to protect aquatic life, others are designed to protect human
health. The listed criteria are more protective of both aquatic life and human
health, and are located in rules 62-302.500 and 62-302.530 of the Florida
Administrative Code. Water quality standards also include general provisions for
pollutants which are not specifically listed.

The 1:100,000 mylars were used to digitize class 1, 2, and 3 waters. The
polygons were attributed with the water class according to DEP documents.
The Lambert Equal Area projection was projected to Albers Conformal Area then
exported using ARC/INFO v. 6.1.1 for VMS on a VAX. The export file was ftp'd
to a DEC Alpha Unix system running ARC/INFO v. 6.1.2 then imported and
inserted into the county library.

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

provided by the data sources. 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:
