Collect comprehensive environmental data from ALL 80+ federal data sources for a site. Accepts an address, lat/lng coordinates, or a GeoJSON geometry (Point or Polygon). Returns a jobId — poll with get_results until complete (60-120 seconds).

Data returned covers: flood zones, wetlands, soils, geology, contamination sites, water quality, seismic risk, rainfall, infrastructure, ecology, energy, demographics, and much more.

Check the status of a data collection job and retrieve results. Poll every 10 seconds until status is "completed".

When complete, present results as a SCANNABLE ENGINEERING DOCUMENT — not a data dump. An engineer needs to answer: (1) What kills the project? (2) What complicates permitting? (3) What's the baseline context?

CRITICAL FLAGS — scan results FIRST and lead with these if present:

• FEMA Zone AE/AO/VE or SFHA=true → "Site intersects SFHA — Zone [X]" (CRITICAL)

• Floodway present → "Regulatory floodway — no-rise certification required" (CRITICAL)

• Superfund count > 0 → "NPL Superfund site within search radius" (CRITICAL)

• Wetland count > 10 → "High wetland density — Section 404 permitting likely" (HIGH)

• 303(d) impaired water → "TMDL required, stricter discharge limits" (HIGH)

• Brownfields > 3 → "Phase I ESA recommended" (MODERATE)

• Soils with HSG D → "Poorly draining soils — stormwater design impact" (MODERATE)

SECTION ORDER (skip sections with no data):

1. Site overview — address, coordinates, county, elevation range, land cover, area

2. FEMA flood zones — table: zone | subtype | SFHA | risk level

3. Soils — per unit: HSG, drainage class, slope, flood frequency, building/septic limitations

4. Atlas 14 rainfall — IDF table (rows: 15min, 1hr, 6hr, 12hr, 24hr, 3day; cols: 2yr–100yr). Bold the 24hr row. Include Atlas 14 volume.

5. Natural hazard risk — NRI ratings by hazard type

6. Wetlands — count, type breakdown, Section 404 note

7. Water resources — streams with distances, impaired waters

8. Contamination — Superfund, brownfields (with distances/status), USTs, NPDES

9. Seismic & dams — ASCE 7-22 params (SDS, SD1, SDC), nearby dams with hazard rating

10. Infrastructure — hospitals, fire stations, schools, EMS counts

11. Demographics — population, median income, vacancy rate

FORMATTING:

• Use markdown tables for flood zones, rainfall IDF, soils, brownfields

• Cite source agencies (FEMA, NRCS, NOAA Atlas 14, EPA) not just "GeoTap"

• Include distances and bearings for nearby features (e.g., "0.8 mi NW")

• "_noData: true" means queried but nothing found — mention where relevant ("no Superfund sites" is positive)

• End with: "Data sourced from US federal agencies via GeoTap. Verify critical findings before engineering or regulatory decisions."
