Coverage
What each named source holds, whether a connector exists, and what on this prototype depends on it.
| Source | State | What depends on it |
|---|---|---|
| USFWS IPaC | Captured | ESA consultation, biological assessment, project footprint |
| eCFR | Captured | NEPA EA, NEPA decision, APD |
| Federal Register | Captured | NEPA EA, NEPA decision |
| OpenEI RAPID | Captured | Regulatory reference, Nevada permit gap |
| PNNL NEPATEC 2.0 | Extracted | Document corpus, activity-type gaps |
| INFRA-COMPASS | Published, wind and solar only | Local conditional use, setbacks, and water ordinances. The rule set currently has no local review at any level. Geothermal electricity zoning ordinances, BLM resource management plans, and water ordinances are in the FY26 program scope and are not yet published. Records carry a source URL to the original ordinance and are LLM-extracted, requiring validation for critical use. |
| USFWS NWI | Captured | Wetlands map layer |
| USGS PAD-US | Captured | Federal management layer, WSA gap |
| USGS NHD | Captured | Hydrography map layer |
| Census TIGERweb | Captured | Tribal reservation layer, consultation gap |
| BLM MLRS | Captured | Lease map layer, APD row, metadata strip. Endpoint: https://gis.blm.gov/nlsdb/rest/services/HUB/BLM_Natl_MLRS_Geothermal_Leases/FeatureServer/0 |
| BLM AFMSS | Simulated | APD row. No published well-record service. |
| BLM ePlanning | No connector | NEPA EA, NEPA decision |
| EPA UIC / SDWIS | No connector | UIC permit |
| Nevada Division of Water Resources | No connector | Nevada water right |
| Nevada Division of Environmental Protection | No connector | UIC permit |
| Nevada SHPO | No connector | NHPA Section 106 |
| Nevada Division of Minerals | No connector | APD row only in the rule set |
Gaps against the rule set
Each was found by comparing the rule set against real federal data, not by review. Implications live on the About page.
Wilderness Study Areas
Finding
Three Wilderness Study Areas sit adjacent to the project. The rule set has no WSA review.
Evidence
Clan Alpine Mountains Wilderness Study Area; Stillwater Range Wilderness Study Area; Job Peak Wilderness Study Area. Managing agency: BLM.

USGS PAD-US Captured
Tribal consultation
Finding
Eight federal reservations fall within consultation range. The rule set models NHPA Section 106 with SHPO only and has no tribal consultation row.
Evidence
Eight Census TIGERweb federal reservations in Nevada.

Geothermal EA activity types
Finding
Real geothermal EAs cover pipelines, electricity transmission, surface transportation, waste management, and vegetation and fuels management. The rule set has no corresponding reviews.
Evidence
Pipelines; Electricity Transmission; Surface Transportation - Other; Waste Management; Vegetation and Fuels Management.

Nevada well permits
Finding
Nevada requires permits the rule set does not model: a Geothermal Project Area Permit, a Sundry Notice, and a well completion report due within 60 days. The rule set has one APD row.
Evidence
OpenEI RAPID Nevada Drilling & Well Development narrative.

Phase coverage
Finding
The rule set begins at NEPA and ends at APD approval. BLM tracks geothermal in three phases: exploration, drilling operations, and utilization. The rule set models only part of the middle phase. Exploration authorizations and post-drilling utilization, including power plant construction and lifecycle monitoring, have no reviews.
Evidence
This is the gap BLM has asked about directly.
