USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

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

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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:

From the USGS 1:24,000 Hydrography dataset wetlands polygons were selected using the select string "DESCRIPT" = 'Marsh, wetland, swamp, bog.' From the Statewide Water Management District Land Use 2000 dataset wetlands polygons were selected using the select string "LEVEL1" = 'WETLANDS.' From the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory dataset wetlands polygons were selected using the select string: "SYSTEM_D" = 'PALUSTRINE' OR "SYSTEM_D" = 'LACUSTRINE' OR "SYSTEM_D" = 'RIVERINE' A new field was added to each layer and calculated with a unique number to identify the presence of the source layer. (DLG, LU1, and NWI) The three datasets were unioned. The WET_SCORE field was added and calculated with the sum of the values from DLG, LU1, and NWI. Process Date: 20061213
