Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains Waters Not Attaining Standards (WNAS) in the State of Florida. Waters of the state of Florida are broken up into 5 groups that are assessed on a rotating basis (generally one group per year). This coverage is a compilation of the last five groups of assessments (Group 1, Cycle 3 through Group 5, Cycle 3) and includes any WBID/parameter combination that did not attain standards (assessment categories 4a, 4b, 4d, 4e, & 5). If a WBID (waterbody) does not attain standards for multiple parameters, overlapping polygons are created to represent each parameter. So that the assessment units (WBIDs) properly reflect their status at the time of assessment, the geometry for this layer is based on the run at the time the assessment for each group was made (Group 1 - Run 47; Group 2 - Run 50; Group 3 - Run 52; Group 4   Run 53; Group 5   Run 54). For more information or questions regarding the waters not attaining standards, please contact Kevin O'Donnell (kevin.odonnell@dep.state.fl.us or (850) 245-8469) or for questions specific to this layer, please contact Phil Homann (philip.homann@dep.state.fl.us or (850) 245-8472)
Purpose:
Coverage includes all WBID/parameter combinations from Group 1, Cycle 3 through
Group 5, Cycle 3 that did not attain water quality standards (EPA categories 4a, 4b, 
4d, 4e, & 5).

The GeoPlan Center downloaded the Waters Not Attaining Standards (WNAS)
dataset on August 15th, 2018 from the FDEP Data Portal:

WATERS_NOT_STANDARD.zip
WATERS_NOT_STANDARD.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 NAME and WBID.
- A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source.
- Renamed file from WATERS_NOT_STANDARD to WATERS_NOT_STND_AUG18.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
