Abstract: A signaling apparatus has a signaling element connected to one end of a metal column and a magnet connected to the opposite end of the column. The metal column is of sufficient stiffness to support the weight of the signaling element and maintain the element above the magnet when the magnet is attached to an object. The signaling element assists an individual in estimating distances of object relative to said signaling element.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for developing an approach that supports the preparation of electronically completed and filed environmental permits and reports. This method combines a novel and unique application of commercial software, customized form wizards and tailored software to support the web based completion of environmental permits. Computer methods described as support wizards have been developed for a novel and unique application and are an integral part of this new application.
