FDEP WATERSHED PLANNING AND COORDINATION WATER QUALITY DATA

Florida Department of Environmental Protection 19991116 FDEP WATERSHED PLANNING AND COORDINATION WATER QUALITY DATA shapefile http://www.dep.state.fl.us wtrwpc01 This dataset contains 1998 countywide surface water quality conditions and trends as described in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's 305(b) report. Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act requires each state to conduct water quality surveys to determine whether or not its waterways are healthy enough and of sufficient quality to meet their designated uses. This information is compiled into a report called the 305(b) report. The state prepares this report every two years for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). USEPA then uses this report to prepare a report to Congress, the National Water Quality Inventory, which describes the condition of the waters of the United States. The data used for the 305(b) report comes from the USEPA STORET database, the State's biological database (SBIO) and fish consumption advisories. This GIS coverage displays the how well each waterbody evaluated in the 305(b) report meets its designated use. There are 3 levels: meets designated use, partially meets designated use and does not meet its designated use. The uses of most waters of the State fall into three classes: Class I-potable water supply, Class II-shellfish harvesting, Class III-recreation and propagation of fish and wildlife. For more information on Designated Uses refer to the State of Florida's rule 62-302 (Florida's Water Quality Standards). en 19991116 ground condition Complete Irregular -82.663385 -82.040266 29.939313 29.422649 529493.596923588939.710273602511.118596660672.275052 NONE Water Quality Watershed Standards Planning NONE Florida Southeast United States Southeast U.S. NONE November 16,1999 1990s NONE THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale data sets are not suitable for some projects, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale data sets 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 data sets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale data sets 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 analyses. 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.

GainesvilleFL32611-5706For FGDL Software: http://www.fgdl.org/software.htmlFlorida Geographic Data Library (FGDL) Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer. Certain node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements. Some of these requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain element and are consistent throughout the transfer, and the chains representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps. The neatline is generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region are ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines are clipped at the neatline. (Exception: During the QA/QC process all data is examined and if errors are found and corrections are possible, then data is corrected accordingly. This process is documented in the Process_Step.) Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline are snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening aligns the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All internal polygons are tested for closure. Certain attributes and/or entities, e.g. closure line, convey data quality information. When information to be encoded in the subfield is known to be not applicable (undefined, not relevant), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s"; and when the information to be encoded is relevant but unknown (or missing), then the subfield is valued by a string of "9s."
