Note sitetype is not quite the same as the site_method parameter used in building reports. site_method can be one of these: SHP, latlon, FIPS, NAICS, FRS, EPA_PROGRAM, SIC, MACT sitetype can be latlon, fips, or shp as returned by ejamit(), but can include lowercase versions of site_method values too within server code and some function parameters!
