Conclusions The data presented provided ample information to find a site meeting the goal objective. Some data required additional steps involving tabular manipulation to accommodate queries needed to find suitable sites. Geo-Processing Wizards sometimes required multiple attempts to return useful thematic datasets—wizards did not always accomplish what was expected.
