Description: This dataset contains Nationwide Rivers Inventory (NRI) data for the State of Florida. The Nationwide Rivers Inventory (NRI) is a listing of more than 3,200 free-flowing river segments in the United States that are believed to possess one or more "outstandingly remarkable" natural or cultural values judged to be at least regionally significant. Hence, NRI river segments are potential candidates for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic River System. Under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act section 5(d)(1) and related guidance, all federal agencies must seek to avoid or mitigate actions that would adversely affect one or more NRI segments.

Description: This dataset contains Wild and Scenic Rivers Active Study Rivers in Florida. For more information, please see: https://www.rivers.gov/study-rivers.
Description: This data set contains Florida's designated Wild & Scenic Rivers. This layer depicts national wild and scenic river segments designated by Congress and the Secretary of the Interior, as well as state wild and scenic river segments designated by the State of Florida. "Wild" rivers are free of dams, generally inaccessible except by trail, and represent vestiges of primitive America. "Scenic" rivers are free of dams, with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads. "Recreational" rivers are readily accessible by road or railroad, may have some development along their shorelines, and may have been dammed in the past. Data for national wild and scenic rivers were provided by the U.S. Forest Service and come from a variety of sources including the US Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Spatial data for national rivers were referenced to the latest High Resolution National Hydrological Data Layer (NHD 1:24,000 Scale or better), published by United States Geological Survey (USGS). State wild and scenic river data were obtained from High Resolution National Hydrological Data flowlines (NHD 1:24,000 Scale or better), originally published by United States Geological Survey (USGS) and modified by the NHD data steward for Florida (FDEP).
Description: This layer depicts wild and scenic river segments designated by the State of Florida, buffered by 220 ft. "Wild" rivers are free of dams, generally inaccessible except by trail, and represent vestiges of primitive America. "Scenic" rivers are free of dams, with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads. "Recreational" rivers are readily accessible by road or railroad, may have some development along their shorelines, and may have been dammed in the past. The layer was created based on data obtained from the National Hydrography Dataset - Hydrographic Landmark Areas 1:24K from December 2017, originally published by United States Geological Survey (USGS) and modified by the NHD data steward for Florida (FDEP).

Description: This data set contains indexes and Esri shape files of boundaries of the designated sole source aquifers and related aquifer boundaries. Data provide a vector polygon GIS layer showing available materials representing extents at the land surface related to 78 designated Sole Source Aquifers (SSA) related to announcements in the Federal Register. GIS coverages for SSAs were obtained from EPA Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 for a baseline period in September of 2009. Each SSA polygon was checked against the Federal Register (FR) determination for that SSA. These coverages were appended, in order to create a national seamless coverage of SSAs. There are 89 GIS polygons for the Sole Source Aquifers, since in addition to a single SSA designated area polygons, some Regions have delineated GIS layers for streamflow zones, aquifer recharge areas, and other features at the land surface important for the SSA designations. GIS materials are not available at this time for the St. Joseph SSA in Indiana [53 FR 23682 (1988)].
Description: Outstanding Florida Waters, (OFW), are waters designated worthy of special protection because of their natural attributes. This special designation is applied to certain waters, and is intended to protect and maintain existing acceptable quality standards. The OFW layer is a GIS spatial dataset that represents the OFW boundaries throughout the state of Florida. This project involves adding new data to and modifying existing data within the OFW data layer for better accuracy and representation. Boundaries for Outstanding Florida Waters (OFWs) as described in Section 62-302.700, F.A.C. This layer includes all three types of OFWs: OFW Aquatic Preserves, Special OFWs, and Other OFWs.
