      <abstract>This dataset, created by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Watershed Restoration, is an inventory of Land Use and Land Cover classified in the State of Florida's Northwest Florida Water Management District and is based on 2004 Digital Ortho Quarter Quad Aerial Imagery program Color Infrared and True Color photography. Classifications are provided for Level 1, 2, 3 and a few level 4 (indicated in Land use and Secondary code fields) land uses. Please note: The field names in the original attribute table from FDEP/NWFWMD were renamed by the GeoPlan Center. The original field names from FDEP/NWFWMD are listed in the Process Steps (Data Quality Section) and in the Attribute Definitions (Entity and Attribute Information section). All Water Management District land use datasets distributed via FGDL will contain these standardized field names, for ease of using land use data at the statewide extent.</abstract>
      <purpose>Analyses of Land Use / Land Cover GIS information provide environmental scientists an understanding of the relationships between human activities, land surface physiography and water resources. Florida's landscape is quickly changing and as a result, at the time of this layer's creation, existing land use - land cover layers for the Northwest Florida area were out-of-date. A more current layer was needed to improve the accuracy of these analyses.</purpose>

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.

        <procdesc>At the end of one week, a Quality Assurance manager reviewed each photo interpreter's work to assure compliance with the following rules: Minimum mapping unit convention (one half acre for the 5000 and 6000 classifications, five acres for the 3000 classifications and two acres for all others), Overuse of level II codes, the need to merge contingent same-coded polygons, dual coding conventions (The 1100 class (Low Density Residential), 1650 Reclaimed Lands, 1730 Military, 1920 Inactive Land with street patterns but without structures and 8340 Sewage Treatment always get a separate and different dual code. The following optionally may be assigned a different dual code value &#8211; 1750 Governmental, 1850 Parks and Zoos, 2310 Cattle Feeding Operations, 2320 Poultry Feeding Operations, 2510 Horse Farms, 2520 Dairies, 8350 Solid Waste Disposal, 5300 Reservoirs.)

        <procdesc>This large polygon was subdivided to allow the unique assignment of smaller areas to each photo interpreter. Subdivisions were based on a number of long linear features that were themselves classification types. This effectively reduced the amount of edge matching that would have to take place when subdivided polygons were stitched back together. These classes included; Streams and Waterways, Electrical Power Transmission Lines, Railroads, Highways.</procdesc>

        <procdesc>Versioned Enterprise editing environment was created and managed by Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Information Technology's GIS Section Administrator, Jonathan Watson. The default SDE version (grandparent version) had a single child QA manager version (parent), from this version four photo interpreter (child) versions were created and each of these child versions had one QA (grandchild) version. Daily work began with each individual photo interpreter reconciling their work against their versions parent and resolving any conflicts in effect incorporating any changes that had occurred since previous reconciliation. Weekly, the QA manager reconciled the grandchild version against its parent version. QA was performed on this version and once complete posted to all parent versions.</procdesc>

        <procdesc>Monthly field verifications were performed according to the following steps: 1. All polygons created within the month were numbered 2. List of polygons was delivered to a statistician who selected 9 random numbers and delivered to QA manager 3. These became "anchor" polygons that were selected for field visits 4. Paper maps of anchor and surrounding polygons were created for navigational and field documentation purposes 5. A team of the project manager, one senior and one junior photointerpreter visited each anchor polygon and determined it's "true" classification and the classification of 9 additional polygons in the immediate vicinity of the anchor polygon, this information was captured in an ssf file via Trimble's GeoXT and a photograph. 6. Upon return from field the ssf file was converted to an ESRI point shapefile that was shared with the photointerpreter for the purpose of communicating field verifications. 7. The photo interpreter corrected any work as necessary</procdesc>

    <overview>
      <eaover>Entity and attribute overview: 
The adopted classification scheme has resulted from the following process:

1.  Potential classification types originally taken from Florida Department of 
Transportations "Florida Land use, cover and forms classification system" 

2.  Conformity with SJRWMD's classification system was sought whenever 
possible out of an interest in creating a data layer that would result in a product 
that was seamless in terms of its geometry and attribution with this contingent area.

3.  Bureau of Watershed Restoration, Watershed Assessment Section (WAS) 
Managers reviewed a preliminary list for the purpose of identifying classification 
types that contributed to sources of pollution and those that allowed them to 
identify natural conditions that may have an effect on water quality impairment.  
This led to the removal of some classification types from the preliminary list to form 
a  WAS wants list.

4.  Photo interpreters reviewed the available photography for the purpose of 
determining which of the WAS wants list could and could not be classified.  
For example, the resolution of the imagery allowed a photointerpreter to confidently 
assign the level 3 class code of 2140: Row Crops to a polygon but not of any of the 
Level 4 codes (see next item).

5.  The FLUCC's system is hierarchical; it includes four levels that build in terms of 
specificity:  A Level 1 classification is the most general it is a four digit code in which 
the first integer in the code is assigned one of eight numbers; 1000 = Urban and Built 
up class, 2000 = Agricultural, 3000 = Rangeland, 4000 = Upland Forests, 
5000 = Water, 6000 = Wetlands, 7000 = Barren Land and 8000 = Transportation, 
Communications, Utilities.   The second integer (and each successive integer) provides 
a subclassification of a higher specificity.  For example 2100 (Level II) Class is Crop 
and pasture land a subtype of the 2000 Agricultural class, 2150 (Level III) : Field Crops is 
a specific subtype of the 2100 Crop and pasture land subtype.  Further, 2153 (Level iV) is 
a specific subtype of the 2150 class.

Very few level 4 classifications have been chosen.  This is so because discernment of 
the keys to classification for these classes typically require imagery of a higher resolution 
than our source imagery.  The Level 4 designation is indicated in either the Land Use 
Code or Secondary Code Fields of the attribute table.

6.  A few classification types were added to accommodate needs that were specific 
to the Water Management districts.
