Environmental Assessment

The IGWS Environmental Assessment is a geospatial tool designed to survey user-specified locations using a series of APIs. Focused on evaluating geologic hazards, mineral resources, and active or abandoned mineral extraction sites—the platform provides critical insights for risk assessment and resource management.

Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, the assessment generates a comprehensive report. All APIs utilized are listed in the Metadata section for free use. The IGWS Environmental Assessment facilitates informed decision-making for sustainable land use planning and hazard mitigation in Indiana.
