Description: This dataset contains the best available locations of springs that have had some data collection or field activities or were included in publications by various agencies. Currently this collection has 1093 unique spring vents, karst windows and associated sinkholes that are recognized in Florida and are represented in this dataset. This layer FLORIDA SPRINGS (2016) is intended to supersede the SPRINGS (2015) layer.
Copyright Text: Appreciation goes to Debra Harrington and Jing Wang of the DEP Ground Water Management Section (GWMS) for compiling and maintaining this Springs Masterlist since 2013, and GIS staff of the Office of Watershed Services for compiling and maintaining the dataset and producing the coverage updates. Appreciation also goes to technical resources at Florida’s water management districts, the Florida Geological Survey, the U. S. Geological Survey and local governments for providing and revising data.
Description: This dataset contains 2020 information on public schools as well as public and private post-secondary institutions in the State of Florida. It is a combination of schools and educational facility addresses from various sources, including the Florida Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics, and other sources listed below. The data contains selected fields denoting the physical address, school number, district, and contact information for schools located in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of schools. School locations that have been verified are marked with the letter V in the FLAG field. This dataset is an update to the GC_SCHOOLS_SEP17 layer. The previous version of this layer contained both public and private school information. A subset of private schools from that layer, GC_SCHOOLS_PRIV_SEP17, is available through FGDL. For this latest update, a corresponding schools boundary layer, GC_SCHOOLSBND_FEB20, is available through FGDL.
Description: The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive inventory of environmental attributes of electric power systems. The preeminent source of air emissions data for the electric power sector, eGRID is based on available plant-specific data for all State of Florida electricity generating plants that provide power to the electric grid and report data to the U.S. government. eGRID contains air emissions data for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and mercury. The information includes fuel consumption, generation, and emissions data, along with plant identification, location, and structural information for nearly all electric generators in the State of Florida. Please note: The EPA has recently changed the naming convention of eGRID. The current edition is named with a year corresponding to the year of the data (eGRID2016), while the publication year of the data is 2018. Those changes are reflected in the Title above. For more information on eGRID please see the following EPA documentation: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2018-02/documents/egrid2016_technicalsupportdocument_0.pdf. This is an update to the FGDL layer EPAEGRID_2014.shp.
Name: No New Corridor Through Wastewater Facilities
Display Field: FACILITY_I
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint
Description: Statewide coverage of Wastewater Facility Regulation (WAFR) Facilities. This dataset includes facilities whose current operating status is Active, Closed but Monitored, or Under Construction. Also included are un-permitted facilities for which a permit is required. These facilities are regulated by the following Florida Department of Environmental Protection programs - "Industrial Wastewater Program", "Domestic Wastewater Program", "Phosphate Management Wastewater Program", "Power Plant Management Wastewater Program."
Description: Aquatic Preserves are state-owned sovereign submerged lands in areas which have exceptional biological, aesthetic, and scientific value, as described in Chapter 258.39, Florida Statutes, which have been set aside for the benefit of future generations. These areas are managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas.Currently, all Aquatic Preserves are also Outstanding Florida Waters (OFWs). However, it is important to note that there are three Aquatic Preserves whose OFW boundaries differ from the Aquatic Preserve boundary. These are described more specifically in the OFW rule 62-302.700: Indian River - Malabar to Vero Beach - does not include portions of Sebastian and Turkey creeks; Wekiva River - does not include portions of the St. Johns River; and Big Bend Seagrasses - the OFW rule specifies certain "incorporated and unincorporated areas" that are excluded from the Aquatic Preserve.

Description: This is a statewide layer representing mitigation banks permitted under Ch. 373.4136, Florida Statutes. Florida mitigation bank information is important for wetland permit reviewers and developers that may need mitigation options. The layer can also serve to enhance information on conservation lands. Mitigation Banks may be permitted by DEP or a Water Management District, but are used by both agencies, creating the need for a statewide layer. Mitigation banking is a practice in which an environmental enhancement and preservation project is conducted by a public agency or private entity (banker) to provide mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts within a defined region (represented in the Mitigation Banks Service Area layer). The bank is the site itself (this data layer), and the currency sold by the banker to the impact permittee is a credit, which represents the wetland ecological value equivalent to the complete restoration of one acre. The number of potential credits permitted for the bank and the credit debits required for impact permits are determined by the permitting agencies, and this information is provided in the data layer table.

Name: No New Corridor Through Florida Forever Acquired Lands
Display Field: PAR_NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: Florida Forever Acquisitions (layer name ff_acquired) is a polygon data layer for parcels that have been purchased using Florida Forever (FF) funding. This data layer is parcel-based and contains information pertaining to specific parcels that have been purchased with Florida Forever funds. Most of these parcels will also be incorporated into the Florida Natural Areas Inventory's Florida Managed Areas (FLMA) data layer, either as new managed areas (i.e., conservation lands) or additions to existing managed areas.
Name: No New Corridor Through Florida Conservation Lands Inventory
Display Field: MANAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: FLORIDA CONSERVATION LANDS (layer name FLMA): This is a polygon data layer for public (and some private) lands that the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) has identified as having natural resource value and that are being managed at least partially for conservation purposes. The term "Managed Area" refers to a managed conservation land.
