USER NOTES:
Source media received prior to manual drafts are various and include legal 
descriptions, aerial photographs, USGS quadrangle maps, and other materials.  
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 withdrawal point onto aerial 
photographs that are submitted with the application.

ArcINFO commands DESCRIBE, LABELERRORS, and NODEERRORS was 
used to determine if there were any topological errors in the coverages, as well 
as to determine the presence of any edit masks.  An 'exemption report' is generated 
showing consistency between the database and GIS.
There are no significant omissions.  Permit applications are reviewed as they are 
processed and permit boundaries are inspected by District staff to ensure permit 
withdrawal points are consistent with previous issued permits and overlapping of 
other permits does not occur.  The Processing and Records staff are responsible 
for accepting, recording and maintaining the tabular and spatial data relating to a 
permit.  Permit boundaries and withdrawal points are overlaid on a digital raster 
graph (DRG) scanned USGS quad map and/or digital orthophotographic quadrangle 
(DOQQ) for spatial accuracy after digitization.  Accuracy adjustments are made if 
there are questionable areas of concern.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

This data layer was created for resource management and cartographic purposes.

A visual comparison between checkplots, digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles 
(DOQs), and/or digital USGS quad maps (DRGs) to the original source quad map 
was completed.  Accuracy is estimated to be within +/- 100 meters.  Schedule is 
updated on a continuous basis as new permits are received, processed, and issued.

Linework is accurate to within +/- 80 meters, this value includes the +/- 30 
foot shift inherent in USGS quads regarding positional accuracy of features. 
Also, some adjustment of permit withdrawal point was necessary to match 
permits across tile or quad borders.  The digitally processed permit is projected 
to Universal Transverse Mercator, units meters, and overlayed with the DOQ's 
and/or to verify accuracy of project.

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 withdrawal points are checked on the original source materials 
for assurance.  Boundaries are transferred to USGS 7.5' quadrangles for 
digital development.  All permit features are manually drafted onto USGS 
7.5' paper quads from various sources.

The quad sheets are tied down and registered using the four corner coordinates 
of the quad as control points.  Permits are digitally compiled and produced 
in-house.  The fuzzy tolerance is set at .010.   Arc/INFo 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.

GIS staff receive the U.S.G.S. quad map that contains the manually drafted 
permit point withdrawal location.  The quad map is registered to the digitizing 
device using the four quadrangle corners and the permit features are digitized 
from the quad map into the GIS database (WUPPNT).  The latitude/longitude 
coordinates are obtained utilizing an ARC/INFO AML.  The GIS staff position 
the digitizing puck on the withdrawal point located on the quad sheet and the 
aml program will output the latitude/longitude coordinates.  These coordinates 
are then manually scribed onto the permit worksheet and returned to the 
processing and records staff.

An Oracle table (STORMWATER) is created from the IBM Regulatory Data 
Base (RDB) tabular information.  The spatial information derived from the GIS 
data base us related to the Oracle data base by the Storm Water permit and 
revision (SMKEY) number.  The fields from the RDB are appended to the 
attribute table in the GIS layer.
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 28,000. Data was then loaded into the feature classes from the coverages using the 'Load Data' tool in ArcCatalog 8.3. Process Date: 20040114
Using FME from Safe Software, Inc, the existing feature class is truncated and then reloaded with data from the edited feature class, swmpnt and Oracle WMIS tables. This is done on a 'as needed' basis. Process Date: Not complete
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_swmpnt_oct11 from SWMPNT - Deleted OBJECTID field Process Date: 20111014
