FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: SPRINGS_OUTSTND_JUL18.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
EDITS	Tracks changes that have occurred to the WBID s geometry over time.
HUC	USGS Hydrologic Unit Code
PARENTWBID	The original WBID from which this WBID was created.
CLASS	Surface Water Classification
PLANNING_U	Planning Unit
GROUP_NUMB	Number of group (1-5) within the 5 year basin rotation cycle.
WBID	Unique Alpha Numeric Water Body Identification
GROUP_NAME	Name of Basin rotation Group, consists of multiple planning units and WBIDs

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.

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:

Greg DeAngelo presented a of list of Outstanding Florida Springs to Janis Morrow. This list was used to select matching data from WBID Run 50 to create this feature. Process Date: 20160617 Obtained data for a new layer from DEAR and added the same in the GIS library. Process Date: 20160802 Greg DeAngelo presented a of list of names to be associated to the Outstanding Florida Springs. This list was used to update the data from WBID Run 50 to create this feature. Process Date: 20170303 Obtained updated data from DEAR and updated the same in the GIS library. Process Date: 20170328 Changed symbology to add a 4 point outline as per Greg DeAngelo's request. Process Date: 20170814 Symbology updated in DataMiner based on a revised layer file obtained from DEAR. Process Date: 20170815 Correction for a single spring name. "Wekiva Spring" to "Wekiwa Spring". Process Date: 20170906 Obtained updated data from DEAR and updated the same in the GIS library. Process Date: 20170914 Request by Kevin O Donnell to modify the boundary of WBID 2967. Process Date: 20180627 Obtained updated data from DEAR and updated the same in the GIS library. Process Date: 20180702 The GeoPlan Center downloaded the Outstanding Florida Springs (OFS) dataset on August 1st, 2018 from the FDEP Data Portal: Florida Department of Environmental Protection Geospatial Open Data: http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/ http://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/outstanding-florida-springs-ofs Please Note: Data is also available via the FTP website: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/otis/gis/data/OUTSTANDING_FLORIDA_SPRINGS.zip OUTSTANDING_FLORIDA_SPRINGS.zip OUTSTANDING_FLORIDA_SPRINGS.gdb The GDB layer was exported to shapefile. The dataset's projection was redefined to FGDL Albers. During the QA/QC process the following tasks were undertaken: - Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers. - Deleted the OBJECTID field. - Uppercased all records in the table. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on WATERBODY_ and WBID. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source. - Renamed file from OUTSTANDING_FLORIDA_SPRINGS to SPRINGS_OUTSTND_JUL18. Process Date: 20180807 Metadata imported. Process Date: 20180828 Dataset copied. Process Date: 20180828
