A copy of the 2015-2016 NWFWMD db was used as a base in conjunction with 2019 digital orthoimagery to update 2015-2016 database. The code 1700: Institutional code (Level 2), was down delineated into 8 new codes, being -- 1710: Education Facilities, 1720: Religious, 1740: Medical and Health Care, 1750: Governmental, 1760: Correctional, 1770: Other Institutional, 1780: Commercial Child Care, 1790: Institutional Under Construction. A number of modifications to existing code descriptions have also been made and these modifications can be found in the Photo Interpreter Key assigned to the 2019 data.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P /><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>Due to Hurricane Michael a new character, '9', has been added in the level 4 designation to indicate storm damage. This only pertains to select, mostly heavily vegetation codes or ones that show signs of vegetation damage. They include 2139, 2239, 2409, 2439, 3209, 3229, 3309, 4109, 4119, 4129, 4139, 4149, 4209, 4219, 4279, 4289, 4349, 4419, 4439, 6119, 6139, 6149, 6159, 6179, 6189, 6219, 6259, 6309, and 6469. The core codes of the delineated land use (or cover) have not been changed from their previous designation, we have just added the '9' designation to it. Determination of whether or not to keep the designation in the next update will be deliberated by the NWFWMD at that time.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
