Data & maps

Maps for siting and logistics

Planning layers for wastewater, food waste, disposal, and invasive harvests. Use them to match feedstocks with hosts and routes.

Planning-ready layers

Each map pairs a story about density, infrastructure, or invasive harvests with the governance context that matters for pilots and procurement. Scroll to each section for full-size views and field notes.

Map of wastewater treatment plants
WWTP locations, relative capacity, and service areas derived from state DEC data.

Wastewater treatment capacity

Shows municipal WWTP footprints, capacities, and service areas that help align digestion partners with operators.

Use it for

  • Matching pilots with operators that still have digester volume.
  • Estimating haul miles by layering rail, highway, and biosolids routes.
  • Pinning capacity notes to municipal boundaries for siting clarity.

Limit Municipal reporting can lag; verify volumes with operators before locking contracts.

Food waste generator hotspots

Highlights generators that exceed diversion thresholds for anaerobic digestion and composting pilots.

Use it for

  • Sizing collection pilots with organics hauler routes and boundaries.
  • Prioritizing sites near processors to keep haul miles low.
  • Telling grant stories about high-density champions of diversion.

Limit Thresholds are estimates; confirm quantities and seasonality before committing.

Disposal corridors

Tracks disposal capacity, regional hauling, and permit boundaries to reveal diversion challenges.

Use it for

  • Showing funders how diversion opportunity aligns with landfill capacity.
  • Planning haul narratives that avoid landfill reliance.
  • Highlighting landfill-gas pairings in grant packages.

Limit Permits shift quickly; verify scopes with DEC and waste authorities before citing.

Water chestnut harvest intelligence

Pairs invasive control data with potential collection points for anaerobic digestion pilots.

Use it for

  • Coordinating harvest logistics with conservation partners.
  • Aligning feedstock points with sensitive habitats.
  • Packaging mitigation strategies for sensitive pilots.

Limit Populations shift yearly; reconfirm with DEC invasive species teams before scaling.
