USER NOTES:

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

Ongoing. Also, not all wells are recorded. Wells permitted before 1976 are not included in the dataset.

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

The Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD or District) stretches from the St. Marks River Basin in Jefferson County to the Perdido River in Escambia County. The District is one of five water management districts in Florida created by the Water Resources Act of 1972. The District has worked for decades to protect and manage water resources in a sustainable manner for the continued welfare of people and natural systems across its 16-county region. It serves Bay, Calhoun, Escambia, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Leon, Liberty, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Wakulla, Walton, Washington and western Jefferson County.

Purpose of the data is to regulate the distribution and volume of water to conserve and assure supply in relation to demand for the present and the future. Construction, repair and proper abandonment of water wells, both public and private, and the quantities of water that may be extracted, are regulated by the Water Management Districts. The primary purpose of this data is to assist the District with evaluation of permits issued under Part II of Chapter 373 of the Florida Statutes(Consumptive Use Permitting) and under Part III of Chapter 373, Florida Statutes (Well Construction Permitting).

Accuracy is not always verified. Following is a list of methods used to locate the wells; Code Locational Method 1 Geographic Information System 2 Global Positioning Satellite 3 Surveyed 4 Topographic Map 5 Driller-supplied Historically datum information for latitude/longitude has not been accurately recorded.

Not known

DISCLAIMER: The District has geographic coordinates for only about 20% of the well permits we have issued. The spatial data provided may therefore only represent a small fraction of the existing wells. The data represents the records for well construction/repair/abandonment permitted beginning in the year 1976 so does not contain data on wells constructed prior to 1976. The location information may have been provided by the well contractor or owner and may not have been verified by the District. Please keep these limitations in mind when using the data.

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. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. 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:

Tabular data is recorded everyday into Oracle database. GIS layer is updated overnight to reflect the data entered the day before. Then the layer is inserted into SDE. Process Date: Updated every night GeoPlan Center Process Steps: GeoPlan acquired the data via email from the NWFWMD in January 2018. The data downloaded was received in shapefile format. The data was in the following projection: NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_16N The following tasks were undertaken: - Reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN projection. - Deleted OBJECTID field - All records were uppercased. - Selected records with lat/long not equal to zero and exported into new layer, to create layer with only points that contain spatial information. - Changed original layer name from well_permits_jan2018.shp to wells_nwfwmd_jan18. - Added the DESCRIPT field based on WELL_USE. - Added the FGDLAQDATE based on the date GeoPlan acquired the data from the source Process Date: 20180125 Dataset copied. Process Date: 20180326
