OBJECTID Internal feature number.

SHAPE Feature geometry.

FLUCCS The land use and land cover classification code as defined in the Florida DOT's FLUCCS classification system. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District layer. NWFWMD = [LANDUSE_CODE] - The primary classification type assignment. This may be either a land use classification or a land cover classification in the case that keys to identification indicate a physiographic feature. NWFWMD uses an adopted classification scheme, for more information on the adopted classification scheme please the Attribute Overview Description Section.

OTHER The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. NWFWMD = [SECONDARY_CODE] - A secondary classification assigned to account for the fact that any given polygon may have more than one use or a use and a physiographic cover.

LANDUSE_DE A brief definition of the class code: description of the primary land use or land cover [LANDUSE_DESCRIPTION].

SECONDARY2 A brief definition of the class code: description of the secondary land use or land cover [SECONDARY_CODE].

LANDUSE_NA A brief textual definition describing a type of land use based on the second highest level designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels [LANDUSE_NAME].

SOURCE Water Management District of Coverage/Origin.

SOURCE2 Agency of Origin: Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Watershed Restoration.

FLUCCS_L1 The highest level (level 1) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer.NWFWMD = LEVEL_1_LANDUSE

LEVEL1 Level 1 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema.

FLUCCS_L2 The second highest level (level 2) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer.NWFWMD = LEVEL_2_LANDUSE

LEVEL2 Level 2 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema.

FLUCCS_L3 The third highest level (level 3) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer.NWFWMD = LEVEL_3_LANDUSE

LEVEL3 Level 3 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema. There is a possibility that the FDOT Level 3 description does not match that of the Water Management District, for those occurrences this discrepancy has been identified in the FLUCCSCOMP field.

FLUCCSCOMP This field represents a comparison between the dataset's FLUCCS code description and the FDOT FLUCCS code description. Where these two descriptions differed a number one was inserted.

ACRES Number of Acres.

DESCRIPT Based on the field LANDUSE_DE, however the classification numbers were removed from the front of each record

FGDLAQDATE The date FGDL acquired the data from the Source.

This dataset, created by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's 
Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration, is an inventory of Land Use
- Land Cover classified in the State of Florida's Northwest Florida Water 
Management District. This imagery contains natural color orthophotos covering 
counties in north Florida (Leon County imagery between 1/18/2015-2/05/2015, 
Eglin Air Force Base NAIP 2015 imagery) and/or 2016 Florida digital orthoimagery 
captured from October 2015 to March 2016. Classifications are provided for level 1,
2, 3 and a few level 4 (indicated in Land Use and Secondary Code fields) land uses.

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

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
A copy of the 2012-2013 NWFWMD db was used as a base in conjunction with 
2015-2016 digital orthoimagery to update the 2015-2016 database. 
Three new codes have also been added-- 2190: Wildlife Strip Crops; 
7470: Dikes and Levees; 8315: Electric Power Sub Stations. 
A number of modification to existing code descriptions have also been made and 
these modifications can be found in the Photo Interpreter Key assigned to the 2015-2016 data.

The GeoPlan Center received the original dataset NWFWMD_LANDUSE_2015_2016.shp from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Watershed Restoration via FTP on June 12th, 2018.

Next the records in the attribute table were UPPERCASED.
