Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Watershed Restoration 20190225 SUWANNEE RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT LAND USE AND COVER 2016 - 2017 SRWMD_LANDUSE_2016_2017 vector digital data Tallahassee, FL Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Watershed Restoration Alachua County (Partial Coverage), Baker County (Partial Coverage), Bradford County, Columbia County, Dixie County, Gilchrist County, Hamilton County, Jefferson County (Partial Coverage), Lafayette County, Levy County (Partial Coverage), Madison County, Suwannee County, Taylor County, and Union County. http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/OTIS/GIS/data/ This dataset, created by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Watershed Services within the Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration, is an inventory of Land use - Land Cover classified in the State of Florida's Suwannee River Water Management District and based on 2016 or 2017 True color photography. Classifications are provided for level 1, 2, 3 and a few level 4 (indicated in Land Use and Land Cover Code fields) land uses. Please note: The field names in the original attribute table from FDEP/SRWMD were renamed by the GeoPlan Center. The original field names from FDEP/SRWMD 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. This is an update to the FGDL layer LU_SRWMD_2014.shp 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at the time prior to this layer's creation, existing land use - land cover GIS layers for the Suwannee River area were out-of-date. A more current layer was needed to improve the accuracy of these analyses. Classifications for the following Counties were based on imagery "flown" on the listed dates: (Alachua 20170108-20170209), (Baker 20170116-20170210), (Bradford 20160119-20160124), (Columbia 20151203-20160120), (Dixie 20160119-20160210), (Gilchrist 20160119-20160210), (Hamilton 20151227-20160130), (Jefferson 20151113-20151123), (Lafayette 20151207-20151219), (Levy 20160119-20160210), (Madison 20151227-20160130), (Suwannee 20151203-20160120), (Taylor 20151207-20151219), (Union 20160119-20160124) 20151113 20170210 publication date Complete As needed -84.009165 -82.029991 30.660130 29.085361 ISO 19115 Topic Category imageryBaseMapsEarthCover environment planningCadastre None Land Cover Planning and Development Land Use Landuse Land Use Land Cover LULC None Suwannee River SRWMD Suwannee River Water Management District Florida None 2015 2017 2016 None Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Projection Information and Data Disclaimer: FDEP GIS data is provided as a public service.

Modification to the feature class was limited to adding or removing fields and setting domains for pre-existing or new fields. Dataset revision started and completed using the 2016 and 2017 aerial imagery provided by the Florida Department of Revenue. A request from the SRWMD to code all center pivot irrigation fields as '2104: Row Crop' was adhered to. At the completion of the revision, modifications to the feature class then consisted of deleting fields and creating new fields. New fields were populated with separate portions of the attributed Land Use or Land Cover fields (note: these had both the code and description in one field prior to separation) into multiple fields. Two fields, Level 1 Description and Level 2 Description, had attribute data populated based on a table join from a standalone spreadsheet. Check Geometry tool was run, no violations found. Topology was run and 4 errors (Rule: Must Not Have Gaps) existed but all are exceptions (3 as islands, 1 as the circumference of the dataset). Review of a concatenated field (Land Use Code + Land Cover Code) was used to identify, after running 'Summarize' on that field, if any Land Use and Land Cover combinations were used that might deviate from the standards set in the Photo Interpreter Key for dual coding. This process is run a couple times a month per the QA workflow and any anomalies noted and discussed then. FDEP 20190215 Obtained data for a new layer from DEAR and added the same in the GIS library.

FLUCCS The land use and land cover classification code as defined in the Florida DOT's FLUCCS classification system. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District layer. SRWMD = LANDUSE_CODE - The primary classification type assignment. This may be either a land use classification or a land cover classification in the case that keys to identification indicate a physiographic feature. SRWMD uses an adopted classification scheme, for more information on the adopted classification scheme please the Attribute Overview Description Section. GeoPlan OTHER The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SRWMD = LANDCOVER_CODE - A secondary classification assigned to account for the fact that any given polygon may have more than one use or a use and a physiographic cover. GeoPlan LANDUSE_DE A brief definition of the class code: description of the primary land use or land cover. SRWMD = LANDUSE_DESCRIPTION FDEP LANDCOVER brief textual definition describing a type of land cover. SRWMD = LANDCOVER_DESCRIPTION FDEP SOURCE Water Management District of Coverage/Origin. GeoPlan SOURCE2 Agency of Origin: Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Watershed Restoration. GeoPlan FLUCCS_L1 The highest level (level 1) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SRWMD = LEVEL_1_CODE GeoPlan LEVEL1 Level 1 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema. GeoPlan FLUCCS_L2 The second highest level (level 2) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SRWMD = LEVEL_2_CODE GeoPlan LEVEL2 Level 2 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema. GeoPlan FLUCCS_L3 The third highest level (level 3) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SRWMD = LEVEL_3_CODE GeoPlan LEVEL3 Level 3 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema. There is a possibility that the FDOT Level 3 description does not match that of the Water Management District, for those occurrences this discrepancy has been identified in the FLUCCSCOMP field. GeoPlan FLUCCSCOMP A value of 1 in this field indicates a difference when comparing the FLUCCS code description to the FDOT FLUCCS code description. GeoPlan ACRES Number of Acres.

GeoPlan AUTOID Unique ID added by GeoPlan GeoPlan SHAPE.AREA Area in meters GeoPlan SHAPE.LEN Perimeter in meters GeoPlan The adopted classification scheme is a result of the following process: 1. Classification types were originally taken from the Florida Department of Transportation's "Florida Land use, Cover and Forms Classification System" (FLUCCS 1999). 2. Conformity with SJRWMD's classification system was sought where ever possible out of an interest in creating a data layer that was seamless in terms of its geometry and attribution with this contingent area. Over the production cycle (this being the 4th iteration) of this data slight changes to the seamless geometry link have been broken. Example, the expansion of '8140: Roads and Highways' to include State Roads and U.S. Highways that do not have a median. 3. Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration (DEAR) staff reviewed a preliminary list to identify classification types that contributed to sources of pollution or 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. Two codes have been added in this (4th) iteration of revision including '2100: Cropland and Pastureland' and '8115: Grass Airports'. One code '6540: Oyster Bars' was removed from the data due to the difficulty of photo interpretation and the fact that better data exists outside land use data. 4. Photo interpreter and managers of the program reviewed the available photography to determine which categories of the DEAR list could and could not be classified. For example, the resolution of the imagery allowed a photo-interpreter 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 sub-classification of a higher specificity. For example 2100 (Level II) Class is 'Cropland and Pastureland' a subtype of the 2000 Agricultural class, 2150 (Level III): Field Crops is a specific subtype of the 2100 Cropland and Pastureland subtype. Further, 2153 (Level IV) is a specific subtype of the 2150 class. Level 4 classification is minimal with only 10% of the database using Level 4. This is due to the lack of image resolution in the source imagery that is needed to pick out key identifiers as well as the time of year the imagery was captured. The Level 4 designation is indicated in either the Land Use Code or Land Cover Code Fields of the attribute table. 6. A few classification types were added to accommodate needs that were specific to the Water Management districts.
