Important - Please contact FGS at 850-617-0301 for more information prior to using the sinkhole data. Subsidence Incident Reports Disclaimer: This geologic data was developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) - Florida Geological Survey (FGS) to carry out agency responsibilities related to management, protection, and development of Florida's natural resources. Although efforts have been made to make the information accurate and useful, the FDEP/FGS assumes no responsibility for errors in the information and does not guarantee that the data are free from errors or inaccuracies. Similarly FDEP/FGS assumes no responsibility for the consequences of inappropriate uses or interpretations of the data. As such, these digital data are distributed on an "as is" basis and the user assumes all risk as to their quality, the results obtained from their use, and the performance of the data. FDEP/FGS bears no responsibility to inform users of any changes made to this data. The data in this database was obtained from a variety of sources. Subsidence incident records listed in this database, in many instances, have not been field checked or verified by FDEP/FGS professional geologists. Additionally, the locations of many of these subsidence incidents have not been verified. As such, anyone using this data is advised that precision implied by the data may far exceed actual precision. Comments on this data are invited and FDEP/FGS would appreciate that documented errors be brought to staff attention. The development of these data sets represents a major investment of staff time and effort. As a professional responsibility, we expect that the FDEP/FGS will receive proper credit when you utilize these data sets. Further, since part of this data was developed and collected with U.S. Government or State of Florida funding, no proprietary rights may be attached to it in whole or in part, nor may it be sold to the U.S. Government or the Florida State Government as part of any procurement of products or services.

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 shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. 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:

Data added in the GIS library and will be updated monthly. Process Date: 20150429 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The GeoPlan Center took the following steps during the QA/QC process: - Downloaded the dataset from FDEP on 7/8/2019 using this link: https://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/otis/gis/data/ - Dataset from the FDEP website was originally downloaded in a file geodatabase and in NAD_1983_HARN_Florida_GDL_Albers. - Define Projection tool was used to alter the projection information to conform with FGDL's standardized projection - DESCRIPT field added and calculated using "SIR REFERENCE NUMBER" and the REF_NUM field. Any records with no data in the REF_NUM field had their DESCRIPT field calculated as 'NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE' - FGDLAQDATE field added based on the date the dataset was downloaded from the source. - The longest record for each field was calculated and field character lengths were shortened to the appropriate shortest length possible. - Uppercased fields and records in the dataset. - Layer name changed from FGS_SUBSIDENCE_INCIDENTS to sir_jun19.shp. The naming convention for the layer was based on the time period of content. In this case, the time period of content was based on the most recent entry in the EVENT_DATE field (06/20/2019). Note: Because the dataset was downloaded in a file geodatabase format, and datasets are updated as shapefiles, field names were truncated or changed. Below is a list of field name changes: Reference Number --> REF_NUM Date Revised --> DATE_REV Date of Reported Event --> DATE_ADD Verified Sinkhole --> TRUE_SINK Longitude Decimal Degrees --> LONGDD Latitude Decimal Degrees --> LATDD County --> COUNTY PLSS Township --> TWNSHP Township Cardinal Direction --> TWNSHP_D PLSS Range --> RANGE Range Cardinal Direction --> RANGE_D PLSS Sections --> SECTION Quarter Section 1 --> QTRSECT1 Quarter Section 2 --> QTRSECT2 Accuracy --> ACCURACY Source of Report --> RPT_SOURCE Owner's City --> OCITY Owner's Zip Code --> OZIP Dimensions --> SIZDIM Shape --> SINSHAPE Length (ft) --> SINLNGTH Width (ft) --> SINWIDTH Depth (ft) --> SINDEPTH Slope of Sides --> SLOPE Water Visible --> WATSIN Water Below Land Surface (ft) --> WATBLS Limestone Visible --> LIMVIS Cave Visible --> CAVVIS Subsidence Rate --> SUBRATE Property Damage --> PROPDAM Repair Status --> REPAIR_S Drainage Structures Present --> DRAINSTR Soil Type --> SOILTYPE Comments --> COMMENTS Additional Comments --> COMMENTS_2 DOCUMENT_LINK --> DOC_LINK Process Date: 20190708
