Iowa / Historical site evidence

Historical activity-to-program-file register

Build an editable historical activity-to-program-file register, with source locators, open decisions and a file your team can review.

Iowa DNR record and brownfield guidance checked September 30, 2026. The method does not designate a property as contaminated, clean or eligible for assistance.

Conceptual evidence illustration for Iowa: historical use and environmental files. No surveyed geography or real property depicted.

One working file to take back to the team

Connect the records. Preserve the exceptions.

1. Inspect two worked rows.

The fictional example shows the actual columns, document mismatches and open decisions for this task.

2. Build your own register.

Start blank, edit the cells and add as many records as the review needs, up to 200 rows per file.

3. Export and assign review.

Download the register as CSV or a readable text file, including source context and edition. The companion below helps organize the next document requests.

Your editable work product

Historical activity-to-program-file register

Name your Iowa research file, replace the fictional observations with your own references, and resolve each item before relying on the historical use and environmental files conclusion.

  • Program coverage
  • Underlying file
  • Proposed-use scope

How to use the table

  1. Start one row for each operating name / period. Keep distinct documents and competing versions separate.
  2. Connect program / search scope to the same row. Record a document locator and retain any mismatch instead of silently choosing a value.
  3. Complete reuse question with the decision still open and the person who should review it. Export the register with the source documents.

Start with a blank row or load the fictional example.

Your entries remain in this page only. Download or copy before leaving; nothing is automatically saved or fetched.

Add one record or comparison per row. Leave unknown facts blank or name the missing document. Scroll the table horizontally on a small screen. Each cell accepts up to 2,000 characters.

Take the working file with you

You can export this blank table before filling it in elsewhere. The export includes the kit edition, row provenance and method references. Method references do not verify your property.

CSV copy fallback

If file saving is blocked, copy this into a UTF-8 .csv file.

This table does not upload documents, search records, run an AI model or confirm source facts. The next-request worksheet below is a separate companion; entries are not copied between the two tools.

Companion: document requests

Turn unresolved items into a review handoff.

This separate four-item sheet helps organize supporting requests. It does not copy or analyze the entries in your register.

Open, work, export

Make the next decision easier to review.

Name your Iowa research file, replace the fictional observations with your own references, and resolve each item before relying on the historical use and environmental files conclusion.

01 Activity timeline

Gives the consultant the historical questions relevant to the intended reuse.

Observations and source reference
02 Program coverage

Prevents one database search being treated as a complete history.

Observations and source reference
03 Underlying file

Distinguishes a listing from the documents and later actions it indexes.

Observations and source reference
04 Proposed-use scope

Makes further review address the actual development plan.

Observations and source reference

Works in this page. No uploads, record searches, contact capture or automatic saving. Download your sheet before leaving.

Method and source context

Keep the evidence with the worksheet.

These references explain the method. They do not verify facts about your property. Your export keeps their scope separate from the document references you enter.

Brownfield guidance and distinctions between contaminated-site and petroleum-tank records.

What this edition does
  • The worked example is fictional and does not describe a researched property.
  • The worksheet organizes supplied evidence; it does not fetch records, verify a property or calculate investment returns.
