NEPA Environmental Screen

Free

Federal environmental-review (NEPA) pre-screen for siting wells, pads, pipelines, and rights-of-way. Aggregates the queryable upstream authorities — EPA ATTAINS impaired/303(d) waters, BLM National Surface Management Agency (federal land), NPS National Wild & Scenic Rivers, and EPA Sole Source Aquifers. No auth. screenLocation drops a point (or bbox) and returns every constraint at once. Built from the real source APIs, not EPA NEPAssist (whose query API is blocked). Federal-land layer is SURFACE management only — not subsurface/mineral ownership (split-estate caveat).

Caveats

  • ⚠ Screening only; upstream layers have independent update schedules and do not replace agency review.

› Methods (8)

Technical detail for developers: parameters, pagination, units, and freshness per method.

  • screenLocation

    unknown

    Screen a site (lat/lon+radius or bbox) for all federal environmental constraints at once.

    Required paramslatitude and longitude or bbox

  • getImpairedWaters

    read

    EPA 303(d)/ATTAINS impaired waters by location (bbox/near) (NEPA Screen). format:geojson for map.

  • getFederalLands

    read

    Federal surface-management agency (BLM SMA) by location (bbox/near) (NEPA Screen). format:geojson.

  • getWildScenicRivers

    read

    National Wild & Scenic Rivers by location/state/name (bbox/near). format:geojson.

  • getSoleSourceAquifers

    read

    EPA Sole Source Aquifers by location (bbox/near) (NEPA Environmental Screen). format:geojson.

  • getNonattainmentAreas

    read

    Find NAAQS nonattainment and maintenance areas by standard, state, or location.

    standard defaults to ozone-2015, not your pollutant. Drives NNSR vs PSD.

  • getNplBoundaries

    read

    Find Superfund NPL site boundary polygons by state, county, name, or location.

    Site polygons, not facility points. Use for setbacks and footprint checks.
