USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

The primary goal of the NEEPP is to restore and to protect the state s surface-water resources by addressing water quality, quantity, timing, and distribution of water, returning the water to a natural system. Underscoring the state's commitment to Greater Everglades ecosystem restoration, the Florida Legislature in 2007 expanded the Lake Okeechobee Protection Act to strengthen protection for the Northern Everglades. This is being achieved by restoring and preserving the Lake Okeechobee watershed and the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie estuaries. Programs with provisions stipulated by this statute, such as the biosolids program, may use the data layer to review the landward extent of each watershed for the purposes of identifying areas subject to the statute. The data is provided by the South Florida Water Management District and is subject to change.

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.

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.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Dataset originates from the South Florida Water Management District. The Florida Department of Environmental protection released this version. This dataset was downloaded by the GeoPlan Center from the FDEP website (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp) on 7/14/2014. When received the data set was in the following projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN. - Added the field DESCRIPT based on REGION. - Added the field FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source. - Deleted fields ACRES, HECTARES, and OBJECTID - Upcased all text in the attribute table. - Data set was renamed neep_watersheds_2011 from SFWMD_NEEPP_WATERSHEDS Process Date: 20140714
