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.

A number of air pollutants can cause damage to health. Six major air pollutants (Carbon Monoxide, Lead, Nitrogen Dioxide, Ozone, Particulate Matter, and Sulfur Dioxide) have been identified as causing health effects at concentrations in the ambient air (the outside air we breathe) above thresholds established at levels known to be safe. Data from some of the monitoring sites contained in this dataset can be retrieved online at Florida's Air Quality System (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/air/air_quality/airdata.htm).

Ambient air monitoring data are provided to the EPA to meet federal requirements; communicate air quality to other levels of government, air monitoring professionals, researchers, medical professionals, and the public; and ensure that adequate air quality information is available for modifying planning, development, and personal behavior.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

Site locations were derived using two different methods. Most of the site locations were derived by GPS units and the rest through interpolation from 1:24,000 USGS 7.5' Quad maps. Therefore, these locations are for illustrative purposes only and should not be used for legal determinations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FDEP GIS data is provided as a public service.

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.

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.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Locational data were originally obtained through interpolation from 1:24000 USGS quad sheets, but most of these data were updated using GPS units. The data are maintained on Excel spread sheets, which are converted to data base files and used in ArcGIS where the LAT/LONS are converted to ALBERS coordinates. Process Date: 20110501 Created an Excel spreadsheet containing the latitude and longitude coordinates of and instrumentation located at the 104 ambient air monitoring sites in Florida. Used Excel to output a database file version of the spreadsheet. Imported the database file into and then used ArcMap to create the shapefile. Process Date: 20110523 Inserted updated data obtained from DARM in SDE. Metadata updated. Process Date: 20110603 GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's GeoData Directory website (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm) in June 2011. The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN. During the AQ/QC process the following tasks were undertaken: - Deleted locational fields: LOND, LONM, LONS, LATD, LATM, LATS, X_COORD, and Y_COORD. - Upcased all records in the table. - Added and calculated the LONG_DD and LAT_DD fields using the calculate geometry tool in ArcMap. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on County. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source. - Renamed file from AMBIENT_AIR_MONITORING_SITES to airmon_may11. Process Date: 20110607
