## CRMS Tier 1 Training – LandrightsProcedure for Finding a Viable Site

-  Contractor gets original CRMS number and “ideal” site location: center of 1km
-  Researches ownership of “ideal” site
-  Landrights criteria for site:
- 	less than 20 owners of a tract & appears to have access
- If “ideal” site doesn’t fit criteria, Contractor searches 24 potential 200m squares until a workable site is found.
