SURFACE WATER CLASSIFICATION BOUNDARIES

Florida Department of Environmental Protection 20050726 SURFACE WATER CLASSIFICATION BOUNDARIES vector digital data Tallahassee, FL Florida Department of Environmental Protection STATE OF FLORIDA http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp This dataset contains Class I and II surface water classification boundaries. To manage surface waters of the state, Florida has developed a surface water quality standards system. The components of this system include: classifications criteria, an antidegradation policy, and special protection of certain waters. The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state be classified according to designated uses. Florida has five classes with associated designated uses, which are arranged in order of degree of protection required. This dataset contains Class I and II surface water classification boundaries. With over 50,000 miles of rivers and streams, 7800 lakes, and 4000 square miles of estuaries, Florida has an abundance of surface waters that are used for a variety of purposes by the people who live and work here, by those who are visiting, and by the fish and wildlife that also depend on these waters. To manage surface waters of the state, Florida has developed a surface water quality standards system. The components of this system include: classifications criteria, an antidegradation policy, and special protection of certain waters. The federal Clean Water Act provides the statutory basis for state water quality standards programs. The regulatory requirements governing these programs (Water Quality Standards Regulation) are published in 40 CFR 131(PDF). States are responsible for reviewing, establishing, and revising water quality standards. The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state be classified according to designated uses. Florida has five classes with associated designated uses, which are arranged in order of degree of protection required: Class I Potable Water Supplies Fourteen general areas throughout the state including: impoundments and associated tributaries, certain lakes, rivers, or portions of rivers, used as a drinking water supply. Class II Shellfish Propagation or Harvesting Generally coastal waters where commercial shellfish harvesting occurs. Class III Recreation, Propagation and Maintenance of a Healthy, Well-Balanced Population of Fish and Wildlife The surface waters of the state are Class III unless described in rule 62-302.40 F.A.C. Class IV Agricultural Water Supplies Generally located in agriculture areas around Lake Okeechobee. Class V Navigation, Utility and Industrial Use. Currently, there aren't any class V bodies of water. The Fenholloway River was reclassified as Class III in 1998 To protect these present and future most beneficial uses of the waters, water quality criteria have been established for each classification. While some of these are intended to protect aquatic life, others are designed to protect human health. The listed criteria are more protective of both aquatic life and human health, and are located in rules 62-302.500 and 62-302.530 of the Florida Administrative Code. Water quality standards also include general provisions for pollutants which are not specifically listed. 19930416 20050726 publication date Complete As needed -87.429040 -79.872251 30.983191 24.492815 NONE Surface Water Classes SWCB SWC Surface Water Classification ISO 19115 Topic Category inlandWaters Florida NONE THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING.

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.

The polygons were attributed with the water class according to DEP documents. The Lambert Equal Area projection was projected to Albers Conformal Area then exported using ARC/INFO v. 6.1.1 for VMS on a VAX. The export file was ftp'd to a DEC Alpha Unix system running ARC/INFO v. 6.1.2 then imported and inserted into the county library. GEONEX, Inc. 19930416 FDEP Janet Klemm Data converted from NAD27 to HPGN using PROJECT command. FDEP Spring 1997 In January, 1998, the Fenholloway River in Taylor County was reclassified to Class III so the table was modified to reflect this change. FDEP Spring 1998 Label points were edited to accurately reflect the classification boundaries for Monroe and Collier Counties. FDEP October 1998 Waters in Santa Rosa, Bay , Lee, Collier, Monroe, Indian River, Sarasota, St. Johns and Brevard Counties were corrected to accurately reflect their classifications. These counties were incorrectly coded and have been changed either from class III to Class II or Class I to Class II. FDEP October 1998 Dataset updated as per Rule 62-302 F.A.C. FDEP December 1998 Shapefile of this dataset inserted into Spatial Database Engine. FDEP Spring 1999 Inserted updated dataset obtained by BIS/GIS Section from Ron Hughes (WRM) and inserted in ArcSDE. The updated dataset has 3840 records. FDEP 7/22/2005 Edits to Santa Rosa Sound-S (FID 2262) - Santa Rosa County and Santa Rosa Sound-E (FID 2266) - Escambia County. Extended the area west of the Navarre bridge from around marker 109 to marker 106 at request of Janet Klemm after she conferred with the District Office. The area was extended approximately four-tenths of a mile eastward. Used 1999 National Nautical Charts imagery as a marker reference. FDEP 20050726 Data was downloaded by GeoPlan from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in shapefile format in August 2005. When received, data was in the following projection: Albers NAD83 HARN, Units: Meters. The original data was limited to territories within the State of Florida. During the QA/QC process the following aspects were included: (1) The original file name was SURF_WATER_CLASS_ BOUND_AREAS.shp was changed to swc_jul05.shp (2) Projected data to FGDL Albers. (3) Deleted the following fields: AREA and PERIMETER (4) Changed field DESCRIPTIO to DESCRIPT.
