USER NOTES:








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













In the past, FGDL distributed land use by County by Water Management District.
For the 2004 version of FGDL, the three districts that have 2000 land use data 
have been merged together. These three districts (SWFWMD, SFWMD 
SJRWMD) make up the layer LU00. This layer has been broken up by county for 
easy distribution via ftp or cd-rom.

Because there is no data from SRWMD or NWFWMD, there are several counties
in the panhandle that don't have data for this layer. In these cases you will need
to get LU95. In addition, because WMD boundaries do not follow county
boundaries, there are some counties in the north eastern part of the state that
have partial data.

No data available:
Dixie, Gilchrist, Suwannee, Hamilton, Lafayatte, Taylor, Madison, Jefferson,
Wakulla, Leon, Franklin, Liberty, Gadsden, Gulf, Calhoun, Jackson, Bay,
Washington, Homes, Walton, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Escambia

Partial Coverage:
Levy, Alachua, Bradford, Union, Columbia


There was some overlap in the three land use layers before merging them 
together. Any place there was overlap the following hierarchy was used in this
order: SWFWMD, SJRWMD, SFWMD.















A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare 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.

1:250000 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 analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY: 








In 2004 GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from 3 of the 5 
Water Management District websites:

SJRWMD (http://sjr.state.fl.us/index.html) 
SWFWMD (http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us)
SFWMD (http://www.sfwmd.gov)

The data was downloaded in shapefile format. Data from 
SJRWMD was in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), 
Zone 17, NAD83-90 (HPGN), meters. Data from SWFWMD
was in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 17, 
NAD83-90, meters. Data from SFWMD was in StatePlane Florida East, 
NAD 1983 HARN, FIPS 0901 Feet. Each dataset was then 
projected to FGDL Albers HPGN.The shapefile was then 
loaded into SDE and appended into a statewide layer using 
ArcGIS 9.0. The layer was then exported to shapefile and 
clipped to county boundaries.
Process Date: 20041000


Data was redownloaded from SFWMD 12/16/05. At this time all existing 
SFWMD data within LU00 was removed and replaced with updated data. 
Therefore, LU00 for FGDL Version 2004 will be more complete in Version 
2005 for areas within SFWMD.
