TITLE: CLIP Version 2.0 - Surface Water Resource Category Priorities for the State of Florida 

Geodataset Name:       CLIPV2_SRFWTRRP
Geodataset Type:       SDE Raster Dataset
Geodataset Feature:    30-METER CELL
Feature Count:         6
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Surface Water Resource Category includes five priority levels depicting conservation significance for protecting high quality surface water resources at the statewide scale. The 5 priority levels are based on a rules-based selection from 3 core data layers including the Wetlands, Significant Surface Waters, and Natural Floodplain layers.

USER NOTES:


















































Although all priority levels have significance, based on the TAG process the most 
important priorities are CLIP Priority 1 and CLIP Priority 2. CLIP Priority 3 can be 
considered moderate priority at the statewide scale. CLIP Priority 5 Primarily includes 
broader watersheds with relevance from a cumulative impact perspective for 
protecting important watersheds identified in the Significant Surface Waters core 
data layer.















The Surface Water Resource Category  layer is intended to be used as one of 
several decision support tools for informing the work of the Century Commission and 
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Cooperative Conservation 
Blueprint, and it may also be suitable as a resource planning guide for various state, 
regional, and local entities interested in effective natural resource protection and 
management. While other planning efforts have focused on particular resources, 
whereas CLIP is intended to provide a broad synthesis of natural resource GIS data 
to support comprehensive identification of statewide conservation opportunities.







































1) These data were created using input data consistent with 24,000 to 1:100,000 
map scale resolution.  Such data are of sufficient resolution for state and regional 
scale conservation planning.  They are not appropriate for use in high accuracy 
mapping applications such as property parcel boundaries, local government 
comprehensive plans, zoning, DRI, site plans, environmental resource or other 
agency permitting, wetland  delineations, or other uses requiring more specific and 
ground survey quality data.


2) The analysis, maps and data on this website were developed for state and 
regional conservation planning purposes and are not intended, nor sufficient, to be 
the basis for local government comprehensive plans, environmental resource or 
agency permitting decisions.


3) These data are likely to be regularly updated and it is the responsibility of the user 
to obtain the most recent available version of the database.


4) Data should not be transferred to a third party, in data or map form, without noting 
these disclaimers.














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

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:
