Physical Setting Report

Dig deeper into your site’s physical environment

Hydrology, geology, and infrastructure insights that support better decision making

The ERIS Physical Setting Report (PSR) provides comprehensive information about the physical setting surrounding a site and includes a complete overview of topography and surface topology, in addition to hydrologic, geologic and soil characteristics. The location and detailed attributes of oil and gas wells, water wells, public water systems and radon are also included for review.
