INSTANTLY.

1. EnviroAI uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to identify all facilities with distance limitations in permits and permits-by-rule (and facilities that potentially should have distance limits).
2. EnviroAI then uses NLP to identify the particular distance limit for that authorization (which can vary significantly--ex/ 106.262 and individual permit representations).
3. EnviroAI finally uses satellite images, aerials, and vision AI to determine what structures of potential concern exist within those distance limits (see analysis below).
