Abstract:
Land cover and land use in the St. Johns River Water Management District based on 1999 and 2000 color infrared aerial photography.

*** Data in this layer may change subject to internal review by SJRWMD project area staff. Contact GIS staff for more information. ***

Purpose:
This data layer was developed to support many of the District's critical projects or programs, including Pollution Load Reduction Goal Development, Land Acquisition, Land Management, Water Supply Planning, Floodplain Management, and Surface and Ground Water Quality Monitoring.
Supplemental_Information:
The photography for the DOQs upon which this layer is based was flown by the National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) primarily from Jan 1999 through Dec 1999. See the item DOQ00_INFO in the attribute table of gislib.img_idx_doqs for specific photo dates.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
LCCODE and LUCODE values were screened to ensure that they belonged to the set of legal FLUCCS values for this data layer, as defined in the SJRWMD 2000 Photointerpretation Key.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The dataset was developed with the following contract specifications; the contractor ran a QA aml on all data to check these specs. All files must import from ArcInfo export files correctly. No edit masks shall be present. Coverages shall exist in DOUBLE precision. Arc and Polygon topology (NET topology) shall be present. During the entire development process, the ArcInfo CLEAN command shall not be performed, directly or indirectly, more than once on each coverage. All coverages shall be flawlessly coordinate edgematched to adjacent coverages. Since product delivery will be in partial sets of coverages, each subsequent delivery shall be flawlessly coordinate edgematched to all previous deliveries. Identically coded polygons shall not be adjacent to each other within a coverage. All features shall exist wholly within the registration coverage tile bounding arcs. No superfluous pseudo nodes shall exist. No superfluous tics shall exist. There shall be no duplicate features. No sliver polygons shall exist. No label errors shall exist. No dangles shall exist. No intersection errors shall exist. The universe polygon shall not possess a label.
Completeness_Report:
Minimum Mapping Units (see also the PI Key for additional guidelines) 1. Upland Classes (FLUCCS Codes of 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 7000, 8000) - 2 acres 2. Water and Wetland Classes (FLUCCS Codes of 5000 and 6000) - 0.5 acres 3. Special Cases a. Rivers - Rivers and canals shall be delineated where they are approximately 10 meters or greater in width and can be mapped as continuous features. b. Roads and Railroads - All major transportation corridors shall be mapped. Major transportation corridors shall include all US and State Routes identified on United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps and all other roadways with at least four lanes and a substantial median. c. Utility Corridors - Utility corridors shall be delineated where they are approximately 30 meters or greater in width.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
This layer is based upon 1999/2000 digital orthophoto quarterquads. Digital orthophoto quadrangles and quarter-quadrangles must meet horizontal National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS) at 1:24,000 scale and 1:12,000 scale, respectively. The NMAS specify that 90 percent of the well-defined points tested must fall within 40 feet (1/50 inch) at 1:24,000 scale and 33.3 feet (1/30 inch) at 1:12,000 scale.

To create the data, the orthorectified images were displayed on a computer screen at varying scales of about 1:12,000 or less.

Source_Contribution:
The 2000 layer is based on the 1995 land use / land cover layer, with revisions made to accomodate: a) thematic changes dictated by updates to the PI Key and classification system, and b) thematic and boundary changes indicated by the 1999 DOQQs.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The following steps were followed by the contractor, Avineon Inc. (formerly Agra-Baymont, Inc.), to create the 2000 layer. See contract specifications (District contract #SD418RA) for further details. 1. For each DOQQ, the photointerpreters will create a 2000 layer by modifying a copy of the 1995 layer according to: a) thematic changes dictated by updates to the PI Key and classification system, and b) thematic and boundary changes indicated by the 1999 DOQQs. 2. All mapping shall be from screen digitizing color-infrared (CIR) 3.75' Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQ), in ArcInfo 8.1, with an adjacent stereoscope for inspecting the photography. 3. All mapping shall be conducted while consulting the ancillary data, primarily accessed through a separate ArcView interface. 4. All classification will be in keeping with specifications listed in the PI Key. If the PI Key is unclear or incorrect, or if the photointerpreters have questions regarding appropriate classification, the primary photointerpreter shall contact the District project manager for further discussion of the problem. 5. The 2000 layer will have two land use classification items: LCCODE and LUCODE. LCCODE will be used for land cover, while LUCODE will be used for land use; item values will differ only when land use and land cover for any given polygon differ. Detailed guidelines for application of this dual coding scheme are discussed in Attachment A, and are also incorporated in the PI Key.

The contract was initiated Sept. 2000, work began October 2000, and work was completed June 2003. Photointerpretation Key revisions at the beginning and significant scope changes slowed the project down in its early phases.

Process_Date: December 2000 - June 2003
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
All deliverables were QA'ed by the SJRWMD photointerpretation specialist. Comments were sent to the contractor, who then revised the data accordingly. Also, the contractor made further edgematching changes and code checks before final submittal.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Data in this layer has been accepted as complete from the contractor, but is being reviewed by appropriate SJRWMD project staff as a substitute for field verification. Data is subject to revision at any time based on that review.

To determine the stage of review for any area, consult GIS staff in IR.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The coding scheme is a modified Florida Land Use/Land Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS). A detailed discussion of the coding scheme can be found in the SJRWMD 2000 Photointerpretation Key. The PI Key lists each class used in the 2000 land use / land cover layer, along with a detailed description, keys to photointerpretation, a list of similar classes, special mapping conventions if they exist, a sample DOQ image, and a field picture. SJRWMD staff may access the PI Key through GISDOC (Data, Data Users Guides).

See below for a discussion of the use of LUCODE vs. LCCODE.

Following is a list of valid LCCODE and LUCODE values. * Codes marked with an asterisk are not used for classification and are listed only for clarification.

*** LUCODE VS. LCCODE *** Each feature is required to have two attributes, one emphasizing land cover (LCCODE) and the second land use (LUCODE). In most cases, these two values are the same. They differ in a minority of cases where separate cover and use values are required in order to adequately describe the mapping unit. The result is a map with dual codes. The LCCODE attribute can be used (mapped, queried, etc.) alone for a land cover emphasis; LUCODE can be used alone for a land use emphasis; or both can be used together.

Any polygon described by the following LUCODE values must be assigned a different LCCODE value: 1180 - Rural residential (2-5 acres per dwelling unit) 1650 - Reclaimed mining lands 1670 - Abandoned mining lands 1900 - Open land (urban) 1920 - Inactive land with street pattern but no structures (urban) 2600 - Other open lands (rural)

Any polygon described by the following LCCODE values must be assigned a different LUCODE value: 8340 - Wastewater treatment 8360 - Other treatment ponds (non-sewage). In this case, the LUCODE must be populated with the associated land use or purpose of the ponds, e.g. dairy (2520) or cattle feeding operation (2310).

Polygons described by the following LUCODEs may at the discretion of the photointerpreter have differing values for LUCODE and LCCODE: 1700 - Institutional 1730 - Military 1750 - Governmental (Kennedy Space Center only) 1800 - Recreational 1850 - Parks and zoos 2240 - Abandoned tree crops 2310 - Cattle feeding operations 2320 - Poultry feeding operations 2500 - Specialty farms 2510 - Horse farms 2520 - Dairies 8350 - Solid waste disposal
