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.

BMAP Standing/Status Values: BMAP Adopted / Adoption Pending: BMAP Adopted - The BMAP has been adopted by the Secretary and stakeholders have started implementing projects. Adoption Pending - We have stakeholder agreement on the BMAP and the BMAP is moving through the internal adoption process. Priority Areas with Basin Management Action Plan Activities in Progress: Areas where BMAPs are currently under development. Areas Undergoing Restoration Supporting TMDL Implementation (RA Plans and other non-BMAP TMDL implementation): These are local restoration strategies similar to BMAP strategies but were done without going through the BMAP process. BMAP Initiation in late 2011/early 2012: BMAP development will be initiated w/ local stakeholders during this time period.

To spatially represent the areas undergoing BMAP implementation.

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.

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:

April 2011: Existing BMAP Project shapefiles from the November 2010 update were edited, updated and merged into one streamlined shapefile. BMAP Project Boundaries consisting of multiple shapefile records were dissolved into shapefiles with single records. Updated boundaries were verified for accuracy by way of direct communication with Basin Coordinators. Corrections and adjustments were made as needed. Process Date: 20110622 Updates for July 2011 BMAP have been incorporated and final BMAP Project updates have been verified. Process Date: Submitted as a new SDE Layer Process Date: 20110728 Added new layer in ArcSDE. Metadata updated, data published in DataMiner Process Date: 20110729 Updates and revisions for October 2011 BMAP have been incorporated and verified. Process Date: 20111005 Submitted for SDE update Process Date: 20111006 Updated layer from shapefile sent by Ron Hughes. Metadata updated Process Date: 20111011 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 November 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: - 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_oct11. Process Date: 20111201
