Abstract:
This dataset contains all monitoring locations that have been processed through the Watershed Information Network (WIN) applications in the State of Florida. WIN is the DEP repository for reporting and managing environmental quality data from non-regulatory databases or data sources from a range of data providers across the State of Florida. WIN replaces Florida STORET as an active data repository. WIN data, together with Florida STORET data, are used for a range of purposes, including but not limited to Impaired Waters Rule assessments, development of Total Maximum Daily Loads, Basin Management Action Plans, Strategic Monitoring Plans, and criteria development, including Site Specific Alternative Criteria (SSAC). Data providers to WIN and users of those data include federal, DEP and other state agencies, local agencies, academic institutions, volunteer organizations, private laboratories, and others. Monitoring locations must pass all WIN Minimum Data Quality Standards (MDQS), be individually visually verified by the organization that loaded the locations, and be associated to a NHD Reach Code, when required. Reach codes are required for all types of monitoring locations except for Oceans, Wetlands, Spring Boils, Spring Vents, and Ground Water types.
Purpose:
This layer contains all monitoring locations that have been processed through the 
Watershed Information Network (WIN) application, which includes confirmation that
data have passed all WIN Minimum Data Quality Standards (MDQS), were visually 
verified within the WIN application, and are associated to a NHD Reach Code, 
when required.

Process_Description:
The GeoPlan Center downloaded the Watershed Information Network (WIN) Monitoring Locations
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/watershed-information-network-win-monitoring-locations

Please Note: Data is also available via the FTP website:
http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/otis/gis/data/WIN_MONITOR_LOCATIONS_SP.zip

WIN_MONITOR_LOCATIONS_SP.zip
WIN_MONITOR_LOCATIONS_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 LOC_NAME and M_LOC_ID.
- A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source.
- Renamed file from WIN_MONITOR_LOCATIONS_SP to 
  WIN_MONITOR_LOC_APR17.

Each reach code occurs only once throughout the nation, but a reach code may be on a number of contiguous features, if they all belong to the same reach. Once assigned, a reach code is permanently associated with its reach. If the reach is deleted, its reach code is retired.

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

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:
