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.

The following information was included in the orginal metadata.
Please note that some of this information does not match the current
fields in the attribute table, so exercise discretion.

Field Name  Comments

HUC            USGS hydrologic unit code
BASIN          Name of basin
WBID           Unique water body identifier number
Mapid          Number used for labeling water body on map
Huc_name       Name of USGS Hydrologic Units
Priority
WMD            Water Management District
District       DEP Regulatory District
Tmdl_year      Year in which TMDLs are to be completed for waterbodies according to a consent decree containing a TMDL development schedule
Basincycle     Bureau of Watershed Management Basin Management Cycle year
Parameter      Impairment(s) that failed Water Quality standards.
2nd_Paramater   A second impairment of special concern.

The WBID is the unique identifier for each of the waterbodies.  
The numbers under each of the water quality parameters (ex: turb) are 
the annual medians that are found in the
Impaired Waters Rule (IWR) report.

A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:250000 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 analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The base 2002 303(d) dataset was created from the FDEP Waterbody Identification layer stored 
in an ArcGISgeodatabase.  Polygon topology was created with a cluster tolerance of 0.004096 meters.  
(See WDIB metadata for a full description of creation documentation)  DBASE tables
(containing summaries of chemical and biological data) from the 305b report were joined 
to the attribute table of the geodatabase in ArcGIS.WBID was used as the joinitem. 
The joined data was exported as a shapefile for distribution.
Process Date: 20020101

GeoPlan recieved this dataset, via download, from the FDEP and performed the following: - Changed the projection file to FGDL Albers HPGN. - Recalculated AREA and PERIMETER fields. - UPCASED the attribute table. - Added field DESCRIPT based on 'PLANUNIT'. - Added field FGDLAQDATE. Process Date: 20060613
