FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
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 = FLUCCS1 - The Land Use/Land Cover classification code as defined in the Florida Department of Transportations (DOT) Florida Land Use and Land Cover Classification System (FLUCCS). This is also considered Level 4. NWFWMD uses an adopted classification scheme, for more information on the adopted classification scheme please the Attribute Overview Description Section. Please Note: FLUCCS code number 6900 (Wetland Scrub Shrub) is being cross-walked as FDOT classification code 6310 (Wetland Shrub). The 6900 value has been moved to the OTHER field and the FLUCCSCOMP field, while the FLUCCS value of 6900 has been replaced with 6310. Please see the GeoPlan Center process steps section for more information.
OTHER	The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. NWFWMD = FLUCCS2 - The Land Use/Land Cover classification code as defined in the Florida Department of Transportations (DOT) Florida Land Use and Land Cover Classification System (FLUCCS). This is also considered Level 4. NWFWMD uses an adopted classification scheme, for more information on the adopted classification scheme please the Attribute Overview Description Section. Please Note: FLUCCS code number 6900 (Wetland Scrub Shrub) is being cross-walked as FDOT classification code 6310 (Wetland Shrub). The 6900 value has been moved to the OTHER field and the FLUCCSCOMP field, while the FLUCCS value of 6900 has been replaced with 6310. Please see the GeoPlan Center process steps section for more information.

SOURCE	Water Management District of Coverage/Origin.
SOURCE2	Other contributing source; G.&O'Mara,Inc = Greenhorne & O'Mara Inc.
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 = LEVEL1.
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 = LEVEL2.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

The preparation of the 1994/1995 land use/cover maps was accomplished with seven major tasks. 1. The interpretation of 1994 and 1995 National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) color-infrared (CIR) aerial photography. 2. Quality assurance/quality control of the photointerpreted data. 3. Field checking and accuracy assessments of selected data points. 4. Cartographic quality control of the compilation onto stable-base USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles. 5. ARC/INFO database creation and polygon attribution. 6. Quality assurance/quality control of the digital files. 7. Delivery to DEP of the digital geographic database. For specifics on these tasks, please contact Paul Talbot, Greenhorne & O'Mara, Inc., at 813/576-0402. Process Date: 19970414 Column was added to the land use datasets which allows users to easily classify the data according to FLUCCS Level 1. The column LEVEL1 was added in SDE and populated with the following code using SQL . . . alter table xxwmd_landuse_19nn add (level1 number(4)); update xxwmd_landuse_19nn set level1 = ((substr(lu_code,1,1))*1000); Process Date: 19991108 Numeric codes were synthesized for improving thematic classification at all levels. All 1:24k land use layers now have at least four standard fields in common: LEVEL1, LEVEL2, LEVEL3, and ATTRIBUTE. LU_CODE was replaced by LEVEL3 and codes for the other levels were extracted. For this SDE layer, the empty field SYMBOL was dropped. Process Date: 20000201 The GeoPlan Center downloaded the original Northwest Florida Water Management District dataset (see below) from the following website on May 27th, 2008. ftp://ftp.dep.state.fl.us/pub/gis/data/ File: nwfwmd_landuse_1995.zip NWFWMD_LANDUSE_1995.shp The district-wide dataset was originally in the following projection; FDEP Albers - GCS_North_American_1983_HARN The district-wide layer was redefined to the FGDL Albers projection. Next the records in the attribute table were UPPERCASED. Next 4 records were deleted from the dataset. These records contained information which only told the user that the polygon was outside the study area. Below is the original NWFWMD file structure: ITEM NAME WIDTH TYPE AREA 8 Double PERIMETER 8 Double FLUCCS1 2 SmallInteger FLUCCS2 2 SmallInteger LEVEL1 2 SmallInteger LEVEL2 2 SmallInteger LEVEL3 2 SmallInteger ATTRIBUTE 50 String SHAPE 4 Geometry OBJECTID 4 OID SHAPE.AREA 0 Double SHAPE.LEN 0 Double Below is the crosswalk table between the original file structure and the new file structure: ORIGINAL NAME NEW NAME AREA Deleted PERIMETER Deleted FLUCCS1 FLUCCS FLUCCS2 OTHER LEVEL1 FLUCCS_L1 LEVEL2 FLUCCS_L2 LEVEL3 FLUCCS_L3 ATTRIBUTE Same SHAPE Deleted OBJECTID Deleted SHAPE.AREA Deleted SHAPE.LEN Deleted Additionally GeoPlan added and populated the following fields: SOURCE SOURCE2 LEVEL1 LEVEL2 LEVEL3 FLUCCSCOMP ACRES DESCRIPT FGDLAQDATE AUTOID Please Note: FLUCCS code number 6900 (Wetland Scrub Shrub) is being cross-walked as FDOT classification code 6310 (Wetland Shrub). The land use codes and descriptions for this layer are cross-walked by the FDOT land use classification schema (see attribute fields: FLUCCS_L1, LEVEL1, FLUCCS_L2, LEVEL2, FLUCCS_L3, LEVEL3). In some cases, original FLUCCS codes provided by the data originator are not exact matches with the FDOT land use classification schema. One example in this dataset includes FLUCCS code 6900 (Wetland Scrub Shrub),which is used by NWFWMD. The FDOT classification schema does not include 6900, but it does include 6310 (Wetland Shrub). Hence, for records with FLUCCS = 6900, the corresponding FDOT classification fields (FLUCCS_L1, LEVEL1, FLUCCS_L2, LEVEL2, FLUCCS_L3, LEVEL3), will contain the information for FDOT's 6310 classification code. Process Date: 20080527 The GeoPlan Center updated the LU_NWFWMD_1995 data layer on August 16th, 2011. During this update process GeoPlan performed the following steps: Currently the FLUCCS code number 6900 (Wetland Scrub Shrub) was being cross-walked as FDOT classification code 6310 (Wetland Shrub). So GeoPlan updated the 6900 classification by moving the 6900 value to the OTHER field and the FLUCCSCOMP field, at the same time GeoPlan replaced the FLUCCS value of 6900 with 6310. GeoPlan also removed/replaced any Carrot Symbols < or > with their proper English translation of greater than or less than, additionally where Carrot Symbols were being used as brackets actual brackets were inserted such as ( and ) to allow proper XML function within the ETDM system. In the DESCRIPT field the features that contained EMBAYMENTS < GULF were also updated. They were changed to: EMBAYMENTS NOT OPENING DIRECTLY INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO Additionally the DESCRIPT of MIXED CONIFEROUS/HARDWOOD was updated to MIXED CONIFEROUS AND HARDWOOD Process Date: 20110816 Dataset copied. Process Date: 20110817 The following SDE spatial view command was run: sdetable -o create_view -T LU_NW_RESIDENT_95 -t "LU_NWFWMD_1995" -c "*" -w "FLUCCS < 1400" Process Date: 20111005
