HOW THIS EXPANSION WAS BUILT

Discovery metadata
plus public sources.

Records are included only when the pinned upstream record supplies a government-hosted permit, filing, incentive, legislative or regulatory source selected by the reproducible filter. Five nationwide federal records were added directly from agency pages.

Discovery, project-label and coordinate metadata adapted from Compute Atlas by Edward Kubiak, CC BY 4.0. Official-source interpretation and boundaries added by Public Evidence Project. No endorsement is implied.
