Federal Land pack · Desktop pre-screen

Put environmental and physical records beside the tract before desktop review.

The Federal Land pack puts flood, wetlands, habitat, wildfire, soils, crop history, and public-land records beside the tract. Use it to answer the first question in a desktop review: does this location need a closer look?

Who it's for: Environmental consultants, lenders, developers, land buyers, and site-screening teams.

Workflow

Start with the location. End with evidence your team can use.

  1. 1Enter the subject legal description or coordinates.
  2. 2Confirm the tract and its boundary on the map.
  3. 3Review flood, wetlands, habitat, wildfire, soils, crop history, and public-land records.
  4. 4Keep source dates, coverage, and limitations with the result.
  5. 5Decide whether the location needs a professional desktop or field assessment.
Output

What you get for each tract

Each result keeps the land identity and the source context together, so a reviewer can see what was found, where it came from, and what still needs professional judgment.

Water and wetlands

Flood zones and wetlands that intersect the tract.

Hazard and habitat

Wildfire and habitat records where the source covers the tract.

Clear limits

Source details and limitations that keep a pre-screen separate from a formal assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Try it on one tract

Run one tract or assignment through it. Then decide which repeat work deserves a deeper integration.
