Obtaining Latitude and Longitude Readings
for NOI Submittance
For any livestock producer which submits
an NOI, their facility's latitude and longitude needs to be included
on the NOI form. The latitude and longitude (lat/long) reading is
to be recorded in degrees, minutes, and seconds. If using GPS to
determine lat/long, or the topozone.com website, use the center
of the facility as the location of GPS reading. ADEQ has already
taken GPS readings at about half of the livestock operations in
the state. You may contact ADEQ
at (602) 207-4469 to determine whether or not GPS readings have
been taken at your facility and then obtain that reading if previously
collected.
Procedure to Obtain Lat/Long Reading from
Topozone Website
- Go to topozone.com
- Scroll down to "place name search"
- Enter your nearest town in "place search"
- Move mouse to "state", scroll down the
state codes to "AZ",
- After your nearest town and "AZ" are shown
in the boxes, hit "search" with the mouse (sometimes 2 or 3 rows
may display)
- In the row displayed which best applies
to you, hit the name of the nearest town you entered under the
green "place" box. A map of the area should come up after the
town is hit.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page to
hit "D/M/S" with the mouse. The degrees, minutes, and seconds
(lat/long) should be displayed in the lower left corner of the
screen. The D/M/S will be display for wherever the mouse is located
on the map, D/M/S will not display unless the cursor is on the
map itself.
- Go to the top left side of the screen,
hit 1/50,000
- You'll need to know your Township, Range,
Section or be able to locate your facility's by landmarks on the
map. Look at the map, if your facility is not shown, use the green
arrows on the perimeter of the map to move the map such that the
location of your facility is shown
- Place the curser to where your lagoon,
milking parlor, or office would be located on the map
- Look in the lower left corner of the screen
to obtain the lat/long reading of the lagoon, milking parlor,
or office (the mouse location)
- Record the lat/long reading on the NOI
form
