	Terms Governing Use:
	Biographical/Historical:	The Department of Environmental Protection was created by the Florida Environmental Reorganization Act of 1993 (93-213, Laws of Florida), merging the former Departments of Natural Resources and Environmental Regulation. The Department's mission is to protect, conserve, and manage Florida's environment and natural resources.
	Summary:	This series is comprised of records that reflect the administrative functions of the Cross Florida Greenway project. Documentation spans from the deauthorization of the Cross Florida Barge Canal and subsequent transfer to the Florida Department of Natural Resources, a predecessor agency to the Department of Environmental Protection, to the eventual transformation and incorporation of canal lands into Florida's existing system of greenways and trails. Three main administrative subseries exist within this series: meeting files, correspondence and subject files. The meeting files include agendas, minutes and meeting specific supporting documents. All meeting files are arranged chronologically. The correspondence subseries details general activities, events and issues handled throughout the project. Many of the records document the coordination of the greenway project and meetings internally by Department of Environmental Protection staff and externally with other stake holders. There are also letters from citizens and environmental groups that voice opinions on the future of Rodman Reservoir. Though the majority of the correspondence is arranged chronologically, there are some that are arranged by creator. The subject files make up the majority of the series and include records on project committees, cost-benefit studies, implementation plans, liability insurance, grant funding, and site specific issues. Of particular interest are the trail land withdrawals which document the process of reevaluating private and state owned lands involved in the Cross Florida Barge Canal with landowners to determine which parcels would be included in the trail.
