BMAP Standing/Status Values: BMAP Adopted / Adoption Pending: BMAP Adopted - The BMAP has been adopted by the Secretary and stakeholder implementation is underway. Adoption Pending - A process to prepare a BMAP is underway; the BMAP is not yet adopted. Basin Management Action Plans (BMAPs) A Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) is the primary tool for implementing a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL.) After a TMDL has been established for an impaired water body a BMAP is designed to implement restoration strategies that will sufficiently reduce the pollutant concentrations to meet that TMDL. BMAP development varies between water bodies due to unique watershed characteristics and impairments. Some TMDLs do not require a BMAP. In these cases, other implementation approaches are utilized. The process for BMAP development involves collaboration among local stakeholders and DEP staff. Other state agencies are usually also involved including Water Management Districts (WWMD), Department of Transportation (DOT), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS). Local government agencies, businesses, and organizations provide local input and insight to guide the BMAP process. These stakeholders will eventually commit to the provisions of the BMAP. Such provisions might include educational programs, permit limits on wastewater facilities, best management practices, and more. Once consensus among stakeholders over the BMAP has been achieved, it is adopted by Secretarial Order and enforced. Source: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/central/Home/Watershed/BMAP.htm

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.

STATEWIDE_BMAP_AREAS.zip STATEWIDE_BMAP_AREAS.shp 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: - 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 PROJECT. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source. - Renamed file from STATEWIDE_BMAP_AREAS to bmap_area_jan15.
