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. FDEP GIS data is provided as a public service. FDEP makes every effort to provide accurate and complete data. Metadata is provided for all datasets and no data should be used without first reading and understanding the limitations of the data. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) provides NO WARRANTY for the availability or accuracy of this GIS data. The Brownfelds GeoViewer is free, publicly accessible tool for viewing, searching and analyzing geographic data of Brownfield real estate in Florida within an internet browser. The GeoViewer allows you to search hundreds of Florida Brownfields based on various selection criteria and provides the opportunity to encourage the use and reuse of these sites as sources of employment, housing, recreation and open-space areas by providing links to the scanned documentation associated with the BSRA's execution as well as access information on financial incentives, liability protection, and other redevelopment expertise. Visit the site at http://ca.dep.state.fl.us/imf?focus=brnflds for more information. For more information on this initiative or general information on the Florida Brownfields Redevelopment Program call 850-245-8934 or the specific Brownfields Coordinator for the FDEP District in which the site resides. Questions and comments may be directed to Kim Walker, Brownfields Liaison, at KIM.WALKER@DEP.STATE.FL.US. |
Brownfields data is provided to assist in the determination of areas with potential for economic revitalization. This layer was created to provide a geospatial reference of brownfields within the Brownfields GeoViewer internet mapping application. |

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.

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.

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. 10/31/01 A seventh Ocala Brownfield area was added by screen digitizing. Process Date: 2000 |
