GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This data set contains Brownfield Boundaries. Brownfields are defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) as abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. The primary goals of Florida's Brownfields Redevelopment Act (Ch. 97-277, Laws of Florida, codified at ss. 376.77-.85, F.S.) are to reduce health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards and create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage redevelopment and voluntary cleanup of contaminated properties. A "brownfield area" means a contiguous area of one or more brownfield sites, some of which may not be contaminated, that has been designated as such by a local government resolution. Such areas may include all or portions of community redevelopment areas, enterprise zones, empowerment zones, other such designated economically deprived communities and areas, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated brownfield pilot projects. This layer provides a polygon representation of the boundaries of these designated Brownfield Areas in Florida. This is an update to the BROWNFIELD AREAS - NOVEMBER 2008 layer.

USER NOTES:
This layer provides a polygon representation of the boundaries of designated 
Brownfield Areas within Florida where a resolution has been passed by a local 
municipality. These polygons were created using various methodologies for 
creating digital spatial data depending upon the type of information provided by 
the municipality within the resolution and loosely dependent upon the cadastral 
(parcel) boundaries provided by the County Property Appraisers at the time when 
the spatial boundaries were developed. Since the data quality of the cadastral 
layer varies from county to county, the data quality of the brownfield area polygons 
will also vary.  These methodologies include the following list: 

Coordinate Geometry (COGO) created from legal descriptions of the area specified 
in the resolution. Many of the brownfields include a large area with hundreds of 
property parcels. These boundaries were compared with the most recent cadastral 
boundaries available from the County Property Appraiser and spatially adjusted 
where necessary to clearly include the property parcels marked for redevelopment, 
the roadway right of way areas (where applicable), city boundaries, political 
boundaries, and other economic incentive zones.

Shapefiles, Coverages and CADD files of the area were provided by the local 
municipality or planning and development agencies in some cases. These 
shapefiles were used without modification to the geometry to match cadastral 
boundaries. Coverages and CADD files were converted to a format compatible 
with the process software.

Paper Maps showing the scaled boundaries of the area in relation to property 
parcels, geographic landmarks, and land surveys are sometimes included in the 
resolution. These maps are compared to available GIS boundaries in order to 
locate the specific property parcels referenced. The available cadastral 
boundaries are used to represent the area where only paper maps or parcel folio 
numbers are provided.

The primary goals of the Brownfield Redevelopment Act 
(links to Statutes: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/waste/categories/brownfields/pages/act.htm) 
are to reduce public health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial 
sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards; create financial and regulatory 
incentives to encourage voluntary cleanup and redevelopment of sites; derive cleanup target 
levels and a process for obtaining a "No Further Action" letter using Risk-Based Corrective 
Action principles; and provide the opportunity for Environmental Equity and Justice.

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. For more information regarding

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Information was obtained from local sources in one of the following formats:
ArcView shapefiles, paper maps, and legal descriptions.

Boundaries from paper maps were digitized over the 1994-1995 DOQQs with various
other existing layers for reference, such as TIGER Roads, USGS Railroads (24k),
and FDOT Local Roads, using ArcView 3.2a

ArcView shapefiles were reprojected and imported into the base polygon shapefile.

Where shapefiles and paper maps were not available, legal descriptions were used
to create the boundaries using COGO (Coordinate Geometry) in ArcInfo 8.0.2

Locational quality information was maintained throughout data development by 
recording the USERNAME, DATESTAMP, and SOURCE for each feature.  See METHOD 
field to determine which process was used to develop each feature.

Graphics and attributes of the original 44 Brownfields current at the time
of data development were visually verified by Camisha Clarke and Carl
Eichenberger and independently QCd by Patrick Pence.

Finally, useful fields from the original database were joined to the polygons.

In order to streamline productivity and updates to the Brownfields spatial data layer, several changes were proposed, and a new spatial data layer was created to incorporate those changes. These changes included (1) removing the point representation so that only the polygon layer is maintained by program staff; (2) adding new columns that would show the local government resolution number along with the date the resolution was passed; (3) adding the X Coordinate and Y Coordinate columns to the polygon layer to allow points to be rendered from a single source; (4) renaming columns to include a logical break in the column names using an underscore character; and finally (5) renaming columns to match the naming conventions used in the cross referenced spatial data layers. Each of these changes were incorporated into the new layer. The old point and polygon layers used to represent Designated Brownfield Areas in Florida will be deprecated on January 15, 2008 and will no longer be available through FDEP for download or future updates. These deprecated layers are called Brownfield Area Polygons and Brownfield Area Centroids. Process Date: 20071201

The GeoPlan Center downloaded the BROWNFIELDS_AREAS_2007.shp dataset in May of 2009 from the FDEP GeoData Directory (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp). The dataset's projection file was redefined from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers. The dataset's fields were upcased and two new fields were added. DESCRIPT - based on AREA_NAME. FGDLAQDATE - based on the data the data was downloaded from the source. The dataset had two techniques applied to it, so that the older polygons could function more affectively in our SDE system, First the layer was imported to a File Geodatabase Feature Dataset Next Topology was created for the Feature Dataset in which a Cluster Tolerance was set to 1 meter. The following topology rules were applied, Must Not Overlap, and Must Not Have Gaps, in order to make sure the cluster tolerance did not negatively affect the geometry of the polygons that were altered. The Topology was then Validated. Next the layer was exported to shapefile and the ACREAGE field was decreased to a scale of 3 and recalculated. Next the Shapefile was run through the Repair Geometry geoprocessing function twice. Finally the metadata was updated. Process Date: 20090529
