Name: Mandatory Non-Phosphate (2025) - Current Mines
Display Field: Mine_Name
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This layer contains boundaries and information for nonphosphate mines in Florida (phosphate mines are maintained in a separate layer) that are regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Mining and Mitigation Program (MMP). In addition to mines that the MMP processes the ERP for, this layer also includes borrow pits that the water management district processes the ERP for, but MMP administers reclamation requirements. This layer does not include mines that have been completely released from the requirements of environmental resource permitting and/or mine reclamation; those mines are contained in another layer. This layer does not include mines that completely ceased mining prior to the regulatory requirement to reclaim (ie, nonmandatory nonphosphate mines).
Copyright Text: FDEP Division of Water Resource Management, Support Program, Polygons were either digitized from maps submitted to the Department or in some cases where no maps were available, polygons are rough estimations of the extent of the disturbed areas (based on aerial interpretation) that were subject to the reclamation requirements of Part III of Chapter 378, F.S.; the polygon may also include areas that were not subject to reclamation requirements to simplify drawing. Although due care was taken when digitizing or drawing polygon boundaries, the boundaries are not based on survey data and should not be interpreted to have survey-level accuracy. Attribute data was populated based on information submitted to the Department in permit applications, conceptual reclamation plans, mining notices and/or other items by mine operators, owners, and/or consultants. Attribute data was checked by Department staff with experience reviewing applications for and inspecting each individual mine, however attribute information may contain errors or inaccuracies.
