      <abstract>Class I and II surface water classification boundaries. The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state be classified according to designated uses. Florida has six 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 shellfish harvesting occurs. For a more detailed description of classes and specific waterbody designations, see 62-302.400.</abstract>
      <purpose>The purpose of this layer is to provide spatial representation to those waters designated as Class I and Class II waters within the state of Florida. 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 depend on these 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. States are responsible for reviewing, establishing, and revising water quality standards. Florida's surface water quality standards system is published in 62-302 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). The components of this system include: classifications and designated uses, criteria, including site specific criteria, an anti-degradation policy, and special protection of certain waters (Outstanding Florida Waters). The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state be classified according to designated uses. Florida has six classes with associated designated uses, which are arranged in order of degree of protection required: Class I - Potable Water Supplies; Class II - Shellfish Propagation or Harvesting; Class III - Fish Consumption, Recreation, Propagation and Maintenance of a Healthy, Well-Balanced Population of Fish and Wildlife; Class III - Limited - Fish Consumption; Recreation or Limited Recreation; and/or Propagation and Maintenance of a Limited Population of Fish and Wildlife; Class IV - Agricultural Water Supplies; and Class V - Navigation, Utility and Industrial Use. The surface waters of the state are Class III unless described in rule 62-302.400, F.A.C., which also provides a more detailed description of classes and specific water body designations.

    <overview>
      <eaover>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 depend 
on these 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. States are responsible for reviewing, establishing, 
and revising water quality standards. Florida's surface water quality standards 
system is published in 62-302 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). 
The components of this system include: classifications and designated 
uses, criteria, including site specific criteria, an anti-degradation policy, 
and special protection of certain waters (Outstanding Florida Waters). 
The Clean Water Act requires that the surface waters of each state be 
classified according to designated uses.
Florida has six 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   Fish Consumption; 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 62-302.400, F.A.C.

CLASS III-Limited   Fish Consumption; Recreation or Limited Recreation; 
and/or Propagation and Maintenance of a Limited Population of Fish and 
Wildlife

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 

Site Criteria:

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.</eaover>

    <resdesc>DOWNLOADABLE DATA</resdesc>
    <distliab>The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. 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. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html</distliab>
