FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: LU_SRWMD_2017.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
FLUCCS	The land use and land cover classification code as defined in the Florida DOT's FLUCCS classification system. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District layer. SRWMD = LANDUSE_CODE - The primary classification type assignment. This may be either a land use classification or a land cover classification in the case that keys to identification indicate a physiographic feature. SRWMD uses an adopted classification scheme, for more information on the adopted classification scheme please the Attribute Overview Description Section.
OTHER	The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SRWMD = LANDCOVER_CODE - A secondary classification assigned to account for the fact that any given polygon may have more than one use or a use and a physiographic cover.
LANDUSE_DE	A brief definition of the class code: description of the primary land use or land cover. SRWMD = LANDUSE_DESCRIPTION
LANDCOVER	brief textual definition describing a type of land cover. SRWMD = LANDCOVER_DESCRIPTION
SOURCE	Water Management District of Coverage/Origin.
SOURCE2	Agency of Origin: Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Watershed Restoration.
FLUCCS_L1	The highest level (level 1) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SRWMD = LEVEL_1_CODE
LEVEL1	Level 1 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema.
FLUCCS_L2	The second highest level (level 2) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SRWMD = LEVEL_2_CODE
LEVEL2	Level 2 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema.
FLUCCS_L3	The third highest level (level 3) designation in a hierarchical coding scheme containing 4 levels. The following represents the original field from the source Water Management District Layer. SRWMD = LEVEL_3_CODE
LEVEL3	Level 3 land use description, based on the FDOT classification schema. There is a possibility that the FDOT Level 3 description does not match that of the Water Management District, for those occurrences this discrepancy has been identified in the FLUCCSCOMP field.
FLUCCSCOMP	A value of 1 in this field indicates a difference when comparing the FLUCCS code description to the FDOT FLUCCS code description.
ACRES	Number of Acres.
DESCRIPT	Based on the field LANDUSE_DE.
FGDLAQDATE	The date FGDL acquired the data from the Source.
AUTOID	Unique ID added by GeoPlan
SHAPE.AREA	Area in meters
SHAPE.LEN	Perimeter in meters

The adopted classification scheme is a result of the following process: 1. Classification types were originally taken from the Florida Department of Transportation's "Florida Land use, Cover and Forms Classification System" (FLUCCS 1999). 2. Conformity with SJRWMD's classification system was sought where ever possible out of an interest in creating a data layer that was seamless in terms of its geometry and attribution with this contingent area. Over the production cycle (this being the 4th iteration) of this data slight changes to the seamless geometry link have been broken. Example, the expansion of '8140: Roads and Highways' to include State Roads and U.S. Highways that do not have a median. 3. Division of Environmental Assessment and Restoration (DEAR) staff reviewed a preliminary list to identify classification types that contributed to sources of pollution or identify natural conditions that may have an effect on water quality impairment. This led to the removal of some classification types from the preliminary list. Two codes have been added in this (4th) iteration of revision including '2100: Cropland and Pastureland' and '8115: Grass Airports'. One code '6540: Oyster Bars' was removed from the data due to the difficulty of photo interpretation and the fact that better data exists outside land use data. 4. Photo interpreter and managers of the program reviewed the available photography to determine which categories of the DEAR list could and could not be classified. For example, the resolution of the imagery allowed a photo-interpreter to confidently assign the level 3 class code of 2140: Row Crops to a polygon but not of any of the Level 4 codes (see next item). 5. The FLUCC's system is hierarchical; it includes four levels that build in terms of specificity: A Level 1 classification is the most general, it is a four digit code in which the first integer in the code is assigned one of eight numbers; 1000 = Urban and Built up class, 2000 = Agricultural, 3000 = Rangeland, 4000 = Upland Forests, 5000 = Water, 6000 = Wetlands, 7000 = Barren Land and 8000 = Transportation, Communications, Utilities. The second integer (and each successive integer) provides a sub-classification of a higher specificity. For example 2100 (Level II) Class is 'Cropland and Pastureland' a subtype of the 2000 Agricultural class, 2150 (Level III): Field Crops is a specific subtype of the 2100 Cropland and Pastureland subtype. Further, 2153 (Level IV) is a specific subtype of the 2150 class. Level 4 classification is minimal with only 10% of the database using Level 4. This is due to the lack of image resolution in the source imagery that is needed to pick out key identifiers as well as the time of year the imagery was captured. The Level 4 designation is indicated in either the Land Use Code or Land Cover Code Fields of the attribute table. 6. A few classification types were added to accommodate needs that were specific to the Water Management districts. Land Use Descriptions: 1110: MDC - LOW DENSITY, FIXED SINGLE FAMILY UNITS 1120: MDC - LOW DENSITY, MOBILE HOME UNITS 1130: MDC - LOW DENSITY, MIXED UNITS (FIXED AND MOBILE HOME UNITS) 1190: MDC - LOW DENSITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1210: MEDIUM DENSITY, FIXED SINGLE FAMILY UNITS 1220: MEDIUM DENSITY, MOBILE HOME UNITS 1230: MEDIUM DENSITY, MIXED UNITS 1290: MEDIUM DENSITY, UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1310: HIGH DENSITY, FIXED SINGLE FAMILY UNITS (> 6 DU/ACRE) 1320: HIGH DENSITY, MOBILE HOME UNITS 1330: HIGH DENSITY, MULTIPLE DWELLING UNITS, LOW RISE (THREE STORIES OR LESS) 1340: HIGH DENSITY, MULTIPLE DWELLING UNITS, HIGH RISE (FOUR STORIES OR MORE) 1350: HIGH DENSITY, MIXED UNITS (FIXED AND MOBILE HOME) 1390: HIGH DENSITY, UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1400: COMMERCIAL AND SERVICES 1423: JUNK YARDS 1454: CAMPGROUNDS 1460: OIL AND GAS STORAGE (EXCEPT ASSOCIATED WITH INDUSTRIAL USE OR MANUFACTURING) 1480: CEMETERIES 1490: COMMERCIAL AND SERVICES UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1510: FOOD PROCESSING 1520: TIMBER PROCESSING 1523: PULP AND PAPER MILLS 1530: MINERAL PROCESSING 1532: PHOSPHATE 1533: LIMEROCK 1540: OIL AND GAS PROCESSING 1550: OTHER LIGHT INDUSTRIAL 1551: BOAT BUILDING AND REPAIR 1552: ELECTRONICS 1560: OTHER HEAVY INDUSTRIAL (SHIP REPAIR, SHIP BUILDING, LARGE LUMBER MILLS) 1562: PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE PLANTS 1564: CEMENT PLANTS 1600: EXTRACTIVE 1613: STRIP MINES - HEAVY MINERALS 1620: SAND AND GRAVEL PITS 1631: LIMEROCK 1632: DOLOMITE 1633: PHOSPHATE 1650: MDC - RECLAIMED LANDS 1660: HOLDING PONDS 1700: ODC - INSTITUTIONAL ( EDUCATION, RELIGIOUS, HEALTH, MILITARY) 1730: MDC - MILITARY 1750: ODC - GOVERNMENTAL 1810: SWIMMING BEACH 1820: GOLF COURSES 1830: RACE TRACKS 1831: AUTOMOBILE TRACKS 1832: HORSE TRACKS 1840: MARINA'S AND FISH CAMPS 1850: ODC - PARKS AND ZOOS 1860: COMMUNITY RECREATIONAL FACILITIES 1890: OTHER RECREATIONAL (RIDING STABLES, GO CART TRACKS, SKEET RANGES) 1900: MDC - OPEN LAND 1910: UNDEVELOPED LAND WITHIN URBAN AREAS 1920: MDC - INACTIVE LAND WITH STREET PATTERNS BUT WITHOUT STRUCTURES 2110: IMPROVED PASTURES 2120: UNIMPROVED PASTURES 2130: WOODLAND PASTURES 2140: ROW CROPS 2150: FIELD CROPS 2153: HAY FIELDS 2210: CITRUS GROVES 2220: FRUIT ORCHARDS 2230: OTHER GROVES (PECAN, AVOCADO, COCONUT, MANGO ETC) 2300: RU - FEEDING OPERATIONS 2310: ODC - CATTLE FEEDING OPERATIONS 2320: ODC - POULTRY FEEDING OPERATIONS 2400: NURSERIES AND VINEYARDS 2410: TREE NURSERIES 2420: SOD FARMS 2430: ORNAMENTALS 2500: RU - SPECIALTY FARMS 2510: ODC - HORSE FARMS 2520: MDC - DAIRIES 2540: AQUACULTURE 2600: MDC - OTHER OPEN LANDS (RURAL) 2610: FALLOW CROP LAND 3100: RANGE LAND, HERBACEOUS (DRY PRAIRIE) 3200: SHRUB AND BRUSHLAND 3210: PALMETTO PRAIRIES 3220: COASTAL SCRUB 3300: MIXED RANGELAND 4100: UPLAND CONIFEROUS FORESTS 4110: PINE FLATWOODS 4120: LONGLEAF PINE - XERIC OAK 4130: SAND PINE 4140: PINE-MESIC OAK 4200: UPLAND HARDWOOD FORESTS 4210: XERIC OAK 4270: LIVE OAK 4280: CABBAGE PALM 4340: HARDWOOD CONIFEROUS - MIXED 4400: RU - TREE PLANTATIONS 4410: CONIFEROUS PLANTATIONS 4430: FOREST REGENERATION AREAS 5100: STREAMS AND WATERWAYS 5200: LAKES 5300: RESERVOIRS 5410: EMBAYMENTS OPENING DIRECTLY INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO OR THE ATLANTIC 5500: MAJOR SPRINGS 5600: RU - SLOUGH WATERS (CHANNELS OF SLOW MOVING WATER) 5720: GULF OF MEXICO 6100: WETLAND HARDWOOD FORESTS 6110: BAY SWAMPS 6120: MANGROVE SWAMPS 6130: GUM SWAMPS 6140: TITI SWAMPS 6150: STREAM AND LAKE SWAMPS (BOTTOMLAND) 6170: MIXED WETLAND HARDWOODS 6180: CABBAGE PALMS 6210: CYPRESS 6220: POND PINE 6250: HYDRIC PINE FLATWOODS 6300: WETLAND FORESTED MIXED 6410: FRESHWATER MARSHES 6420: SALTWATER MARSHES 6430: WET PRAIRIES 6440: EMERGENT AQUATIC VEGETATION 6460: MIXED SCRUB-SHRUB WETLAND 6500: NON-VEGETATED WETLANDS 6510: TIDAL FLATS 6540: OYSTER BARS 7100: BEACHES OTHER THAN SWIMMING BEACHES 7200: SAND OTHER THAN BEACHES 7400: RU - DISTURBED LANDS 7410: RURAL LAND IN TRANSITION WITHOUT POSITIVE INDICATORS OF INTENDED ACTIVITY 7420: BORROW AREAS 7430: SPOIL AREAS 7450: BURNED AREAS 8110: AIRPORTS 8120: RAILROADS 8130: BUS AND TRUCK TERMINALS 8140: ROADS AND HIGHWAYS 8160: CANALS AND LOCKS 8170: OIL, WATER OR GAS LONG DISTANCE TRANSMISSION LINES 8180: AUTO PARKING FACILITIES (WHEN NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO OTHER LAND USE) 8200: COMMUNICATIONS 8310: ELECTRIC POWER FACILITIES 8320: ELECTRICAL POWER TRANSMISSION LINES 8330: WATER SUPPLY PLANTS (INCLUDING PUMPING STATIONS) 8340: MDC - SEWAGE TREATMENT 8350: ODC - SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL 8370: SURFACE WATER COLLECTION FEATURES 8390: UTILITIES UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Analyses of Land Use - Land Cover GIS information provide environmental scientists an understanding of the relationships between human activities, land surface physiography and water resources. Florida's landscape is quickly changing and as a result, at the time prior to this layer's creation, existing land use - land cover GIS layers for the Suwannee River area were out-of-date. A more current layer was needed to improve the accuracy of these analyses.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

By exporting all features of the SRWMD 2013-2014 Land Use Land Cover layer to a feature class in a standalone file geodatabase from the Florida Department of Environmental Protections Spatial Data Engine, it was then modified for editing purposes. Modification to the feature class was limited to adding or removing fields and setting domains for pre-existing or new fields. Dataset revision started and completed using the 2016 and 2017 aerial imagery provided by the Florida Department of Revenue. A request from the SRWMD to code all center pivot irrigation fields as '2104: Row Crop' was adhered to. At the completion of the revision, modifications to the feature class then consisted of deleting fields and creating new fields. New fields were populated with separate portions of the attributed Land Use or Land Cover fields (note: these had both the code and description in one field prior to separation) into multiple fields. Two fields, Level 1 Description and Level 2 Description, had attribute data populated based on a table join from a standalone spreadsheet. Check Geometry tool was run, no violations found. Topology was run and 4 errors (Rule: Must Not Have Gaps) existed but all are exceptions (3 as islands, 1 as the circumference of the dataset). Review of a concatenated field (Land Use Code + Land Cover Code) was used to identify, after running 'Summarize' on that field, if any Land Use and Land Cover combinations were used that might deviate from the standards set in the Photo Interpreter Key for dual coding. This process is run a couple times a month per the QA workflow and any anomalies noted and discussed then. Process Date: 20190215 Obtained data for a new layer from DEAR and added the same in the GIS library. Process Date: 20190225 The GeoPlan Center received the original dataset SRWMD_LANDUSE_2016_2017.gdb from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Watershed Restoration via FTP on June 7th, 2019. https://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/datasets/suwanee-river-water-management-district-srwmd-2016-2017-land-use Florida Department of Environmental Protection Geospatial Open Data: https://geodata.dep.state.fl.us/ Please Note: Data is also available via the FTP website: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/OTIS/GIS/data/SRWMD_LANDUSE_2016_2017.zip Exported the GDB to Shapefile and renamed dataset to LU_SRWMD_2017.shp The dataset was originally in the FDEP Albers projection which matched the FGDL Albers projection so the FDEP .prj file was swapped out for the FGDL .prj file. Next the records in the attribute table were UPPERCASED.
