Orlando Rivera, FDEP, Program Administrator 20190130 vector digital data https://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/mandatory-phosphate-mine-boundaries-2016 The Mandatory Phosphate Mine Boundaries layer contains the conceptual boundaries of all active mandatory phosphate mines within the State of Florida by the end of 2016. 'Mandatory Phosphate Mines' does not indicate that the area is required to be mined for phosphate; 'Mandatory' refers to the regulatory status of the land. Land mined for phosphate since July 1, 1975 is 'Mandatory,' and is required by Florida law to be reclaimed (contoured and re-vegetated). Land mined prior to July 1, 1975 was not required to be reclaimed. This layer provides the mine boundary for mines that are subject to the regulatory requirements of Chapter 378, Part III, F.S. and/or Chapter 373, Part IV. F.S. and Chapter 62C-16, F.A.C. Mandatory phosphate mining occurs primarily in the central Florida phosphate mining district in Polk, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Hardee counties and one mine in North Florida in Hamilton County. This layer was designed to provide the Mining and Mitigation Program with a graphical representation of the Mandatory Phosphate boundaries for planning and management purposes. Because this data is a work in progress, it may contain errors such as missing features, outdated features, overlapping features, erroneous status of features, variations in accuracy, or attribute errors. This layer was created and maintained by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Program Support. To provide the Mining and Mitigation Program (MMP) with a graphical representation of the Mandatory Phosphate boundaries for planning and management purposes. This layer is to be used as a general idea for mine boundaries of the Mandatory Phosphate mines. For actual legal boundaries, the most recently approved conceptual plan must be consulted. Ideally, the boundaries should be based on the 2016 Annual Report , the most recently approved conceptual plans for the active mines and the last approved conceptual plan for the inactive mines. Please note that slight changes in mine boundaries may be reflected in annual reports, but the changes will not be made in this layer until there is an approved conceptual plan (which could be as late as five years from the previous). Phosphate mining occurs primarily in the central Florida area. One mining company operates in North Florida (Hamilton County). The Mining and Mitigation Program is responsible for administering the rules related to the reclamation of lands mined for phosphate after June 1975 and the rules related to Environmental and Wetland Resource Permits for phosphate mined lands. Phosphate mining disturbs 5,000 - 6,000 acres of land annually; approximately 25-30% of these lands are isolated wetlands or wetlands connected to waters of the state. The mined landform is generally a series of steep-sloped spoil piles with water-filled troughs. Reclamation construction consists of recontouring and revegetation. 20161231 State of Florida Complete None planned -82.991877 -81.624868 30.570500 27.172883 ISO 19115 Topic Categories environment economy Mandatory Phosphate Mine Phosphate WRM 2016 manpho water resource management FDEP Mining and Mitigation Program MMP Business and Economics None Florida None 2016 None Information contained herein is provided for informational purposes only.
