GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Facilities and Activities in the State of Florida. In October 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authorized the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to implement the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) stormwater permitting program in the State of Florida (in all areas except Indian Country lands). FDEP's authority to administer the NPDES program is set forth in Section 403.0885, Florida Statutes (F.S.). The NPDES stormwater program regulates point source discharges of stormwater into surface waters of the State of Florida from certain municipal, industrial and construction activities. As the NPDES stormwater permitting authority, FDEP is responsible for promulgating rules and issuing permits, managing and reviewing permit applications, and performing compliance and enforcement activities. Only facilities with valid Florida locations are included in this dataset. The data locations provided represent the center of the facilities and activities. The accuracy of these data points is unknown and locational verification has not been performed.

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.

This layer includes the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES)
facilities and activities within Florida.

There is currently no specific goal in place to QA all NPDES Stormwater locations. 
Many of these activities are of a temporary nature, and locational verification would 
be difficult. The ratio of sites to individuals available to perform this activity is also 
quite high. It is anticipated by the program area that the level of locational accuracy
and quality assurance for some types of facilities will be determined by the 
availability of existing tools, such as iNOI (Interactive Notice Of Intent) and other 
tools and front-end systems.

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

The point locations for facilities of types 'MS2' and 'MS4' are only to be interpreted 
as 'placeholders' for future polygons. Information in this layer should not be used for 
navigational purposes. This data should not be used for legal determinations of any 
kind.

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
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

The GeoPlan Center downloaded the NPDES Stormwater Facilities and Activities dataset on August 1st, 2018 from the FDEP Data Portal: Florida Department of Environmental Protection Geospatial Open Data: http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/ http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/npdes-stormwater-facilities-and-activities Please Note: Data is also available via the FTP website: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/otis/gis/data/wafr_stw_ims_sp.zip WAFR_STW_IMS_SP.zip WAFR_STW_IMS_SP.gdb The GDB layer was exported to shapefile. The dataset's projection was redefined to FGDL Albers. During the QA/QC process the following tasks were undertaken: - Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers. - Uppercased all records in the table. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on FACILITY_NAME and FACILITY_ID. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source. - Renamed file from WAFR_STW_IMS_SP to NPDES_STW_FAC_JUN18.
