This dataset contains Outstanding Florida Springs (OFS) located in the State of Florida. Section 373.802(4), Florida Statutes (F.S.), defines "Outstanding Florida Springs" or OFS to include all historic first magnitude springs, as determined by the department using the most recent Florida Geological Survey springs bulletin, and the following additional six springs: DeLeon, Peacock, Poe, Rock, Wekiva, and Gemini. OFS do not include submarine springs or river rises. There are 30 OFS springs consisting of 24 historic first magnitude springs and the 6 named additional springs. While the statutory definition includes the spring runs associated with these springs and spring groups, this coverage identifies the WBIDs associated with the OFS spring vents. |
