vector digital data
www.fgdl.org
This dataset is a polygon feature class representing the Watershed Monitoring Program's Large Lakes (features >= 10 hectares) and Small Lakes (features > 4 hectares and less than 10 hectares) in the State of Florida. Information regarding the Status Monitoring Network can be found at https://floridadep.gov/dear/watershed-monitoring-section/content/status-monitoring-network. Information regarding the lake features in the USGS NHD can be found at https://floridadep.gov/dear/watershed-services-program/content/about-florida-national-hydrography-dataset. This dataset is an update to the FGDL layer LAKES_RESOURCE_DEC19.
The purpose of this layer is to represent the small and large lakes coverage at the end of the year and to include exclusions and additions or deletions of features during that year. Selections of features are made for the following years listframe. The resulting coverage was developed from the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) 1:24000 resolution coverage for lake features. The coverage represents the base layer for users to reference for in-house reconnaissance of potential sample locations for the Status Monitoring Network.

The data is kept consistent with industry practices.
Attribute table review and verification of data.
Features from the 1:24,000-scale National Hydrography Dataset (24k NHD) "Waterbody" layer are used as a base coverage for the Lakes coverage in the Watershed Monitoring Surface Water List Frame geodatabase.
20120901
WMS staff conducted a manual review of the statewide coverage via office reconaissance using areial photography in an attempt to remove features that appear unsampleable. Criteria which may disqualify a feature include: artificial waterbodies (roadside borrow pits, residential stormwater retention/detention ponds, restoration areas, etc.), dry/wetland/low water areas, large land owner refusal properties, saline/estuarine conditions (via field observation or ancillary GIS data), inaccessibility, or any other similar staff recommend exclusion - including field reconnaissance.
20120901
A finalized dataset is sent to project managers to perform a final review of the Lakes resource. Once these reviews are completed, random points are obtained from the statewide coverage using R (statistical modeling software). Those random locations are sampled by field staff, and reconnaissance is applied to update this dataset for sequent years sampling.
20120901
In an attempt to reduce the dataset to features that are most likely permanent, non-ephemeral/non-intermittent, non-wetland features, lakes whose size fall below the threshold of 4.0 hectares (40,000 sq.m) are not included in the Lakes coverage. Attribution is applied to each feature in the Lakes coverage to classify the dataset into two categories: 1) Small Lake - feature area >= 4.0 hectares and < 10 hectares, and 2) Lare Lake - feature area >= 10.0 hectares
20120901
Obtained new data from Watershed Monitoring Section (DEAR) and added in SDE. Data published in DataMiner and MapDirect.

Obtained updated data from Watershed Monitoring Section (DEAR) and updated the same in SDE/DataMiner.
20140303
The base coverage for small lakes and large lakes were locationally compared with the 2014 coverages submitted for the GRTS selection process to ensure only those features that were used as a basis for selection are represented in the updated years coverage. Features that were excluded as wrong resource were removed from the 2014 coverage for small lakes and large lakes. A template of the current schema for the DEP.WMS_LAKES_RESOURCE was copied from the SDE and then features contained within the "Flowing Waters" feature class within the Listframe geodatabase were filtered for non-excluded small and large lake objects which were then loaded into the template. The feature class was then exported to a shapefile and metadata were added to the shapefile prior to submitting to the GIS Librarian for processing the new coverage to the SDE.

LAKECODE
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Reach File (Version 3.0), known as RF3, is a national hydrologic database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the 3.2 million stream segments or "reaches" that comprise the Country's surface water drainage system. This unique RF3 ID for each lake is then concatenated with the Object ID for the feature in the listframe geodatabase. The resultant ID is then stored in the geodatabase and used to reference lakes and allow joining or relating of various tables and feature classes from other datasets containing this ID.
Watershed Monitoring Section
Field contains unique values.
GNIS_NAME
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN), contains information about physical and cultural geographic features in the United States and associated areas, both current and historical, but not including roads and highways. The database also contains geographic names in Antarctica. The database holds the Federally recognized name of each feature and defines the location of the feature by state, county, USGS topographic map, and geographic coordinates. Other feature attributes include names or spellings other than the official name, feature designations, feature class, historical and descriptive information, and for some categories of features the geometric boundaries. The database assigns a unique feature identifier, a random number, that is a key for accessing, integrating, or reconciling GNIS data with other data sets. The GNIS is our Nation's official repository of domestic geographic feature names informatio
