the original data.
In 1986, the Florida Legislature created the State Underground Petroleum Environmental 
Response Act (SUPER Act) Program in response to groundwater contamination resulting 
from leaking underground petroleum storage tanks. The primary authority for the SUPER 
Act Program was given to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), 
Bureau of Petroleum Storage Systems.  FDEP oversees the clean-up activities around 
petroleum facilities that have had a loss of petroleum product. The Florida Department of 
Health's SUPER Act Program (per Chapter 376.3071(4)(g), Florida Statutes), was given 
authority to provide field and laboratory services, toxicological risk assessments, 
investigations of drinking water contamination complaints and education of the public.   
Recognizing the number of contaminated facilities and the threat to drinking water, the 
Department of Health was given public health responsibility of identifying drinking water 
wells around contaminated petroleum facilities. In addition, a representative number of 
drinking water wells are sampled for petroleum contamination. Since the programs 
inception, County Health Departments (CHDs) have investigated contaminated sites 
statewide and sampled drinking water systems under the direction of the State Health Office. 
These services are funded by the Legislature through the Inland Protection Trust Fund.
FDEP's FLUWID program - As part of a cooperative agreement with FDEP, the Bureau of 
Water, Petroleum Surveillance Program (SUPER Act) participates in their FLUWID (Florida 
Unique Well IDentification) program. The program's goal is to simplify water well identification 
and exchange of information between state agencies concerned with well construction data, 
well location and groundwater quality.  The program involves tagging wells with a unique 
alphanumeric code called the FLUWID Well ID (Example: ABC1234).

Locates and identifies contaminated facilities and surrounding drinking 
water wells. The table consists of data relating to petroleum and 
drycleaning facilities investigated as part of the SUPER Act Program, 
and Drycleaning Solvent Surveillance Program (DSSP)

GPS Equipment used/data accuracy - Within the last several years, Real-time Differential GPS 
receivers (RDGPS) have been used to provide a location accuracy within five meters. However, 
some older data was collected using non-RDGPS sources including digitized maps and handheld 
devices used for recreational GPS. Refer to the "GPS_Status" field in each table to determine if 
accuracy is RDGPS.

has not been verified by GeoPlan

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

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Health in November of 
2011. The data downloaded was in shapefile format from the following webpage:
http://www.doh.state.fl.us/environment/programs/ehgis/EhGisDownload.htm
The data was in the following geographical coordinate system:
WGS 1984 Datum, Units: Degrees. The following QA/QC process steps 
were undertaken:

- Reprojected the data to FGDL Albers HPGN
- All records were uppercased.
- Removed empty fields RISK_OPTION, RISK_OPT_1, and RISK_OPT_2 
- Added a DESCRIPT based on RISK_SOURC.
- Added a FGDLAQDATE field  based on date GeoPlan acquired the data
  from the source.
- Renamed the dataset from RiskSource to superact_risk_jul11
Process Date: 20111201
