USER NOTES:
Visual inspection of source materials during redrafting helped to identify many 
potential problems. These errors were then corrected prior to digitizing or scanning. 
The majority of permit applicants employ engineering firms (consultants) that 
survey the properties and transpose the permit boundaries onto aerial photographs 
that are submitted with the application.
There are no significant omissions.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

This layer was created to illustrate the Dredge and Fill permit boundaries in 
the Southwest Florida Water Management District.

Visual comparison between checkplot, digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles 
(DOQ), and/or digital USGS quad maps (DRG) to the original source quad map 
has estimated that accuracy is within +/- 100 meters.  Updated on a continuous 
basis as new permits are received, processed, and issued.

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

These data were not collected under the supervision of a licensed Professional 
Surveyor and Mapper. Use of these data requires a general understanding of GIS.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. 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.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
All permit boundaries and features are checked on the original source 
materials for assurance. The permits are then transferred to USGS 7.5' 
quadrangles for digital development.  The quad sheets are tied down 
and registered using the four corner coordinates of the quad as control 
points. Permits are digitized.  The BUILD or CLEAN command is used to 
create topology.  ArcInfo commands DESCRIBE, LABELERRORS, and 
NODEERRORS areas used to determine if there were any topological 
errors in the coverages, as well as to determine the presence of any edit 
masks.

An Oracle table (ERP_EXP) is created from IBM Regulatory Database 
tabular information. The spatial information derived is obtained from the 
GIS database and it is joined to ERP_EXP based on the ERP Permit 
number and Revision number.  The information retrieved from ERP_EXP 
is appended as attributes to the GIS polygon layer Dredge.  Prior to creating 
the library layer, comments are added to out-parcels, mismatched records 
between GIS and IBM RDBS, and permits with unknown owners.  Once 
the library layer is created, a shapefile is created from the layer to be used 
in production.  Prior to the end of the shell script execution, the shapefile 
is copied to production servers located in Brooksville, Tampa, Bartow and 
Venice.
Process Date: Unknown

An enterprise geodatabase was designed and implemented. Coverages were converted into feature classes using ArcCatalog 8.3. The feature classes were created new in a feature dataset, with column names, shape type, grid size, and projection information defined during creation. An X/Y Domain and Precision were set at MinX: -700,000; MinY: 2,000,000; Precision: 1000. Z-Values were set at MinZ: -20; Precision: 1000. The Grid Tile Size is 10,000. Data was then loaded into the feature classes from the coverages using the 'Load Data' tool in ArcCatalog 8.3. Process Date: 20040114
In October 2009, the District's enterprise SDE vector data layers were re-projected from UTM to State Plane Feet. At this same time the data layers were loaded into SDE using ESRI's Spatial Data Type. The new data type allows users to use SQL queries for spatial inquiries. Process Date: 20091002
This dataset was received by the GeoPlan Center via ftp on 10/14/2011. The data was originally in shapefile format. When received the data set was in the following projection: NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Florida_West_FIPS_0902_Feet. The data was projected to Albers NAD 83 HARN. - Added the field DESCRIPT based on PROJECTNAM. - Added the field FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source. - Upcased all text in the attribute table. - Data set was renamed sw_dredge_oct11 from DREDGE - Deleted OBJECTID field Process Date: 20111014
