This dataset contains the 305(b) Assessed Waters point features in the State of Florida that are monitored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The 305(b) program system provide assessed water data and assessed water features for river segments, lakes, and estuaries designated under Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act. 305(b) waterbodies are coded onto NHDPlus v2.1 features creating area, point and linear events representing assessed and non-assessed waters. In addition to NHDPlus reach indexed data there may also be custom events (point, line, or area) that are not associated with NHDPlus and are in an EPA standard format that is compatible with EPA's Reach Address Database. These custom events are used to represent locations of 305(b) waterbodies that are not represented well in NHDPlus. |
