Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Description:
This dataset was created by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) in 2001. The primary sources for this dataset were obtained from FDEP's springs database in ArcView (SDE), the Water Management Districts, Gary Maddox, and the Florida Geological Survey's Bulletin 31 Springs of Florida Encyclopedia. All of the springs were projected from lat/long information. For DEP's spring layer from SDE, ArcView was used to determine the lat/longs for the springs that did not have them using the table to point tool.

In 2002, the GeoPlan Center downloaded this dataset in shapefile format from the Florida DEP website <http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp>. The DESCRIPT item was added based on SPRING_NAME, the COMMENT field was deleted, and all lowercase items within attribute table were upcased.

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) upcased all character records; (2) deleted 'COMMENT' field because there were no values; and (3) added DESCRIPT item based on SPRING_NAME.
