USER NOTES:

The final product was checked against the source material. Monthly topology checks are performed to correct any accidental overlaps. The Mapping and GIS section of the Southwest Florida Water Management District corrected any errors found.

This layer contains the best known mapped irrigated area for each permit revision.

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

1. Most Irrigated Areas fall completely within their corresponding control areas. 2. An Irrigated Area can extend beyond its corresponding control area if a service agreement is in place between the applicant and the owner of the land the irrigated area extends into. 3. Irrigated Areas are defined as the extent irrigation may occur under the permit. Irrigated Areas are only defined for WUPs that have a predominant use of agriculture, and a specific use of agriculture that is a crop. Irrigation areas are not intended to map the exact extent of crops (particularly rotating row crops) at a point in time, but to instead define where they might be grown during the life of the permit. 4. Irrigated Areas should not overlap each other. 5. For newer permits/revisions/modifications processed through the Water Management Information System (WMIS) Irrigated Areas are initially defined by permittees using the most recent orthophotos. These may be subsequently modified by REG-GIS staff or permit evaluators. For pre-WMIS permits Irrigated Areas were typically copies of the Control Area polygon, though through time these will be cleaned up as time permits.

This layer is a historical accounting of the most accurate and recently defined irrigated area for each permit revision that has been mapped. The Basis of Review states an applicant for a Water Use Permit "must demonstrate that the quantities applied for relate to reasonable irrigation, livestock, aquaculture, and other agricultural water needs." The Irrigated Areas provide reviewers and compliance staff with the locations where crops may be grown during a particular permit revision. During the permit review cycle this information, coupled with orthophotos, provides evaluators with information to determine if the requested quantities are reasonable. After issuance Irrigated Areas can be used in conjunction with land use and orthophoto data to determine if permittees are in compliance with permit conditions. For example, if a permit is issued for 100 acres of citrus and 120 acres of citrus exists within the Irrigated Area the permittee may be out of compliance. The Irrigated Areas also assist in monitoring land use trends and their impacts on water use. If the land use within an Irrigated Area has changed from row crops to residential this most likely indicates that the current permit is no longer applicable and possibly there are opportunities to reduce permitted quantities.

Visual inspection of the linework over the digital orthophotos, at a scale of 1:8,000 is used to verify the positional placement of the linework. The orthophotos meet or exceed a verified horizontal accuracy of 5.2 feet at the 95% confidence level.

These data were not collected under the supervision of a licensed Professional Surveyor and Mapper. Use of these data requires a general understanding of GIS.

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.

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:

Using FME from Safe Software, Inc, the existing feature class is truncated and then reloaded with data from the feature class IRRIGATION_AREA_AUDIT, and Oracle WMIS tables. Only those features in IRRIGATION_AREA_AUDIT with a BEST_GEO_FLAG of 1, which designates the best known geometry for that particular permit number and revision combination, are used to update the existing feature class. This is done on a daily basis. Process Date: Daily This dataset was received by the GeoPlan Center via ftp on 10/14/2011. The data was originally in shapefile format. When received the data set was in the following projection: NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Florida_West_FIPS_0902_Feet. The data was projected to Albers NAD 83 HARN. - Added the field DESCRIPT based on SITE_PROJE. - Added the field FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source. - Upcased all text in the attribute table. - Data set was renamed sw_wup_irrhist_oct11 from WUP_IRRIGATION_AREA_HISTORY - Deleted OBJECTID field Process Date: 20111014
