Can LandView help me locate all the schools located within a 5 mile radius of an EPA Superfund site?
LandView was designed by EPA to assist the public in assessing environmental hazards within their community as well as help the chemical industry prepare risk management plans. For this reason, EPA Envirofacts data is included along with the U. S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System data which provides data on schools, hospitals, religious institutions and other landmarks. By using the MARPLOT mapping program search function an user can create a search collection of objects found within a specified radius. After building the collection of found objects (schools within 5 miles), the user has the option to mark all found objects on the map and then automatically retrieve records from the LandView database related to each marked map object. Lesson 5 of the LandView 6 tutorial provides detailed information on how to conduct MARPLOT map searches.
