Florida Department of Environmental Protection 20000101 vector digital data Florida Department of Environmental Protection State of Florida 2000 This dataset contains watersheds that have water quality characterized by elevated phosphorus levels and are restricted to the amount of phosphorus that can be imported into the watersheds. Phosphorus can only be applied at agronomic rates. The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

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.

The dataset consists of 4 watersheds and some specific counties that have high levels of phosphorus in the surface water. As a result, these watersheds have restrictions on the amount of phosphorus that can be imported into the watersheds and applied to the land. The 4 watersheds are Lake Okeechobee, Lake Apopka, the Green Swamp and the Everglades Protection Area (EPA), and the counties include all of Glades, Hendry and Okeechobee.

The extents of Okeechobee, Glades and Hendry Counties beyond the existing phosphorous restricted basins were added to the data set. The new polygons were created by UNIONing the dataset DEP.PHOSPHOROUS_RESTRICTIVE_BASINS in SDE with a subset of the dataset BASE.BOUNDARIES_2M, consisting of the boundaries of Okeechobee, Glades and Hendry Counties. The resulting polygons were aggregated by 'BASIN" and values for the 'BASIN' attribute were entered for each of the new features. The Phosphorus Restrictive Basins was created from the drainage basins coverage (basin-24 (area)). The watersheds were created by unioning the appropriate drainage basins in the basin-24 cover. Some additional modifications (subtracting and splitting polygons) were made to create the Green Swamp boundary. The watershed boundaries for Lake Apopka and Lake Okeechobee area based on the boundaries established by the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program. The boundary for the Everglades Protection Area (EPA) is based on the Everglades Forever Act (EFA). The boundary used for the Green Swamp is describe in chapter 22F-5, Florida Administrative Code.
