Data_Quality_Information:

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:

This dataset was built from coordinates defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 4. Coordinates are published in the Coastal Programs and Surface Water Quality Grants Section, Ocean Dumping Program and can be found at <http://www.epa.gov/region4/water/oceans>. These coordinates were then used to build ARC/INFO polygon coverages which were then attributed.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

Ocean disposal of dredged material is regulated under Titles I and II of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (also known as the Ocean Dumping Act). These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

The Ocean Planning Information System (OPIS) is a prototype online regional marine GIS covering the vast ocean area bounded by the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, the exclusive economic zone, and various maritime boundaries. OPIS was developed to provide coastal and ocean resource managers in the Southeast access to regional digital geographic mapping information and technologies to facilitate coordinated decision making within and across the multi- layered U.S. ocean management framework. Special emphasis is placed on the federal ocean and coastal management and governance framework, and efforts are ongoing to develop similar data sets for state and local level policy frameworks. OPIS provides marine resource managers with timely and equitable access to downloadable data, cutting-edge online mapping functionality, and guidance on how to use GIS in a meaningful way with respect to ocean management. THE DATA INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION ARE BASED ON INTERPRETATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING.

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 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 multicounty or regional level. 1:250000 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 analyses. 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 web pages at: <http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Coordinates from the CFR were used to build a 'generate' file in ARC/INFO. An ARC/INFO coverage was created from this file and reprojected. Attributes were added. Datum ASSUMED to be NAD27.

Process_Date: 1998

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: (1) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) (2) Clipped to the State of Florida (original dataset extent was EPA Region 4) (3) DESCRIPT item was added based on the item UNIT_NAME (4) Upcased all character records

Process_Date: 2002

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

This data was downloaded by the FGDL in 2002 from Ocean Planning and Governance Geographic Information System (Ocean GIS) webpage at: <http://www.csc.noaa.gov/opis/html/data.htm>, in shapefile format. The data was clipped from the OPIS area (EPA Region 4) to the State of Florida and the DESCRIPT item was added based on UNIT_NAME. Lowercase characters within the attribute table were upcased. When received, data was in Geographic projection, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Decimal degrees.
