Description:

Abstract:: This dataset contains Brownfield Location Boundaries for the State of Florida. Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. Florida's Brownfields Redevelopment Act primary goals are to reduce health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards and create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage voluntary cleanup and redevelopment of sites.
Purpose:: The dataset provides location and attribute information on Brownfield Location Boundaries for use in regional cartographic and network analysis applications.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

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.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:: LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA / WARNINGS TO THE USER : Because a variety of sources and methods were used to derive information for this data, the quality of the linework may vary accordingly. This data is intended to be used for general locational representation and should not be considered appropriate for legal and/or cadastral purposes.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: This dataset was downloaded by GeoPlan from theFlorida DEP website: (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.asp). The dataset's prior history (from FDEP) is listed below:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: DESCRIPTION OF SOURCE MATERIAL(S) SOURCE TITLE : Source information obtained from various county and local governments, see attributes SCALE : Various DATUM : Various MAP PROJECTION : Various MEDIA OF SOURCE : Paper maps, legal descs, and ArcView shapefiles CONDITION OF MEDIA : Various DATE OF SOURCE MATERIAL : 1998-Present UPDATE SCHEDULE : As needed LAST UPDATE : 10/31/01

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: DERIVATION METHOD(S) FOR DATA PRE-AUTOMATION COMPILATION : Brownfields data stored in database COMPUTER HARDWARE USED : Dell Precision 410 OPERATING SYSTEM : NT 4.0 SP 6 DATABASE SOFTWARE AND VERSION USED : Access 97 GIS/MAPPING SOFTWARE AND VERSION USED : ArcView 3.2a; ArcInfo 8.0.2

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: METHOD OF AUTOMATION : Heads up digitized from paper maps, COGO'd from legal descriptions, imported from shapefiles RESOLUTION OF AUTOMATION : 1:2,500 for heads up digitizing TOLERANCE OF DIGITIZER, SCANNER, ETC. : N/A INITIAL DATE OF AUTOMATION : Summer 2001 UPDATE SCHEDULE : As needed FORMAT OF DIGITAL FILE : ArcView shapefile/SDE layer

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: EXPLANATION OF PROCEDURES USED TO TRANSFORM THE DATA Information was obtained from local sources in one of the following formats: ArcView shapefiles, paper maps, and legal descriptions. Boundaries from paper maps were digitized over the 1994-1995 DOQQs with various other existing layers for reference, such as TIGER Roads, USGS Railroads (24k), and FDOT Local Roads, using ArcView 3.2a ArcView shapefiles were reprojected and imported into the base polygon shapefile. Where shapefiles and paper maps were not available, legal descriptions were used to create the boundaries using COGO (Coordinate Geometry) in ArcInfo 8.0.2 Locational quality information was maintained throughout data development by recording the USERNAME, DATESTAMP, and SOURCE for each feature. See METHOD field to determine which process was used to develop each feature. Graphics and attributes of the original 44 Brownfields current at the time of data development were visually verified by Camisha Clarke and Carl Eichenberger and independently QCd by Patrick Pence. Finally, useful fields from the original database were joined to the polygons. 10/31/01 A seventh Ocala Brownfield area was added by screen digitizing.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:: GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.)Up Cased fields that had lower case letters. 2.)Added Descript field based on "AREANAME"
