Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the 303(d) listed impaired waters for Florida counties. Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) are to be created for each pollutant of concern for each water segment on the 303(d) list. A TMDL is the amount of pollutant a waterbody can receive and still meet applicable water quality standards for its designated use. The 303(d) list is derived from the 305(b) report.
Purpose:
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires states to submit a list of impaired waterbodies for their State. The impaired waters are those that do not meet their designated use according to the 305(b) report. The 303(d) list must contain the "parameters of concern" which resulted in the impairment of the waterbody. The 1998 303(d) coverage represents the basins containing the 1998 303(d) list of impaired waterways. The 1998 303(d) list is based on information from the State's 1996 305(b) report. The Clean Water Act then requires State's to develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for each parameter of concern for a 303(d) listed water.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Logical_Consistency_Report:
Certain node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements. Some of these requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain element and are consistent throughout the transfer, and the chains representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps. The neatline is generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines are clipped at the neatline. (Exception: During the QA/QC process all data is examined and if errors are found and corrections are possible, then data is corrected accordingly. This process is documented in the Process_Step.) Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All internal polygons are tested for closure. Certain attributes and/or entities, e.g. closure line, convey data quality information. When information to be encoded in the subfield is known to be not applicable (undefined, not relevant), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s"; and when the information to be encoded is relevant but unknown (or missing), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s.".
