USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

Lines were drawn to roughly conform to the shoreline on the "Counties in Florida" shapefile issued by FDEP. This has not been updated for several years and may not be the way the coast line looks today. Since the Erosion shapefile is to be used only as a graphic in the maps that are generated for the report we did not require any survey quality accuracy. This is the final version for the year 2005

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

The determination of beach condition was under the direction of Ralph Clark and his staff of Coastal Engineers

To show the areas and severity of beach erosion as determined by our engineering staff.

NONE This is only a graphic

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS. 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:

Determination of location and status of eroded areas in Florida. Process Date: October 2004 to May 2005 Creation of shapefile Process Date: April 2005 GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/beaches/data/gis-data.htm) on 6/10/2007. The data was received as a shapefile in projection: Geographic North American Datum of 1927, Clarke 1866. The dataset was then projected from Geographic Nad27 to FGDL Albers HPGN. - Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN - Added a DESCRIPT field to attribute table based on DESC_ - Added a FGDLAQDATE field based on date of download from source - Deleted fields STATUS, AUTO_ID, SRTNUM - Renamed file from criteros2005 to critbeach_jun05 - Upcased all records in the table Process Date: 20070611
