Abstract:

This dataset contains migrant labor camp facilities inspected by the Florida Department of Health. The objective of this program is to reduce the risk of communicable disease transmission and injury among migrant farm workers by establishing comprehensive and uniform procedures for permitting and inspecting migrant housing. This is an update to the migrant_feb16 layer.

Purpose:

The dataset was created to serve as base information for use in GIS
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Supplemental_Information:

150,000 to 200,000 migrant and seasonal farm workers and their families annually
travel and work in Florida. The migrant labor camp program currently issues over
700 permits in 33 counties ensuring that 34,000 migrant and seasonal farm workers,
and families live in housing that meets or exceeds standards set by law.

County health departments ensure uniformity and continuity with the Migrant Labor
Camp Program rule and procedures by providing:
Plan Review and Permitting, Pre-Inspection and Routine Inspections,
Investigations, Education, Application of State Laws and Rules

Process_Description:

The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process:
- Downloaded the dataset from FDOH on 7/18/2017 using this link:
  http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/gis/gis-data.html
  (original dataset in shapefile format and in the WGS 1984 geographic
  coordinate system).
- Dataset projected into the FGDL Albers HARN using WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 + NAD_1983_To_HARN_Florida.
- Dataset clipped to Florida, using the FGDL cntbnd_sep15 layer, removing
  extraneous features.
- DESCRIPT field added based on the COMPANYNAM field. Any records with
  no data in the COMPANYNAM field had their DESCRIPT field calculated as
  'NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE'.
- FGDLAQDATE field added based on the date the dataset was downloaded
  from source.
- Removed the field "SepticAppl" due to lack of data.
- The longest record for each field was found and field character lengths
  were shortened to the appropriate shortest length possible.
- Uppercased fields and records in the dataset.
- Layer name changed from Migrant_Labor_Camps.shp to migrant_dec16.shp.
