Combines two federal datasets: the BLM Western Solar Plan zones (variance / exclusion / utility-scale) and the USGS Wind Turbine Database (commercial wind turbines, ~70K records). The parcel report returns the renewable-siting classification for a section plus the count of commercial wind turbines within a 5-mile buffer — the conflict-screen renewable siting workflows need.
