Arizona's Online Environmental Review Tool  

Administered by Arizona Game and Fish Department's Heritage Data Management System (HDMS) and Project Evaluation Program (PEP) 

PLEASE NOTE that some species habitat models in the AWCS section currently do not display on the map (namely, the models created in 2012). Species predicted to occur in a project area will be reported in the third table of the report but will not display on the map. This is a known issue that we are working to address.

It is good practice to occasionally clear your cache - especially after a new version is released.  Shift+ctrl+delete while in your browser 

For optimal function, please use the latest versions of Google Chrome, IE, or Firefox.
The AZ Environmental Review Tool is not available as a mobile app and may not function optimally in a mobile environment.
