USER NOTES:
Attributes are fully populated and consistently presented. Most of the data is programmatic, such as project codes, contacts, etc. Errors, if present, could be attributed to mis-entries or unrecognized changes in the program details.


A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets 
are not suitablefor some project, analysis, or modelling 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.

1:250000 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 analyses. 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 scale and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

In 2003, GeoPlan received this data in shapefile format via email from 
South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). The dataset was 
projected to FGDL Albers HPGN. When received, the data was in StatePlane 
Florida East (FIPS 0901) NAD_1983 Feet.
-Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN
-Dropped old internal coverage items: cover# and cover id
-Converted area and perimeter from feet to meters
-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME to attribute table
-Renamed file from BDWMDCRS  to  CERP_STUDYAREA
Process Date: 2003
