| Field | Op | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
review_type | require | nps_consultation_for_adjacent_development | Development directly abutting or with visual/audible impact on the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve (~10,894 acres in Chase County) requires NPS consultation under NEPA / Section 106; the National Park Trust and The Nature Conservancy hold large adjoining conservation easements that further constrain adjacent development. |
base_districts[*].wind_energy_siting_review | require | flint_hills_landscape_review | The Flint Hills physiographic region (largest intact remnant of tallgrass prairie in North America) is the subject of a long-running cultural-landscape protection regime through county-level wind-siting moratoria and the Tallgrass Heartland Partnership; the overlay flags siting review even where no state statute directly preempts. |

Research notes
Cultural-landscape overlay capturing both the federally designated TPNP unit and the broader Flint Hills physiographic region (Chase, Greenwood, Butler, Cowley, Wabaunsee, Geary, Riley, Morris, Lyon, Marion, Elk, Chautauqua counties). State of Kansas has no statute directly protecting the Flint Hills landscape, but county-level wind-energy siting moratoria (Chase, Wabaunsee, Lyon) have produced the same practical effect for tall-structure siting. Federal conflict check enabled because NPS is the federal authority for TPNP.
