The ask

In Ellis County, find at least 200 contiguous acres within 3 miles of a 345 kV or higher line, within 3 miles of an interstate, outside the 100-year floodplain and wetlands, slope generally under 10 percent, at least 500 ft from any house.

A developer or a landowner's advisor must defend a shortlist to people who will check it. So this page runs the ask rule by rule, shows the ground each rule leaves and prints how each number was made.

"Within 3 miles of an interstate" is straight-line distance. See Day 09 for local restrictions.

The slope rule is a reading of "generally": a 400 m cell passes when at most 10 percent of its ground is at or over 10 percent slope. A passing cell can still hold steep ground.
