Data & maps

Feedstock maps & infrastructure layers

Planning layers for siting, logistics, and system design; these maps highlight where waste, water, and operational assets align with circular feedstock corridors.

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

Pair operators with feedstock pilots by understanding who has available digester volume and municipal reach.

  • Use it during siting conversations to match pilot digesters with municipal or regional treatment operators.
  • Overlay with rail, highway, and biosolids tonnage layers to assess hauled vs co-located scenarios.
  • Limitations: capacity data is municipal-reported and may be outdated; verify with operators before locking in contracts.

Map of excess food waste generators
Institutional, retail, and wholesale locations with estimated surplus food waste tonnage.

Food waste generator hotspots

These surpluses represent the best on-ramps for anaerobic digestion and composting pilots that can meet the state’s diversion rules.

  • Layer against organics hauler routes and municipal boundaries to size collection pilots.
  • Prioritize generators near willing hosts or processors to reduce haul miles and tipping costs.
  • Limitations: generator thresholds are estimates; confirm quantities and seasonality before committing to contracts.

Landfills and dumps map
Landfills, dumps, and disposal cells mapped with permit status and regional hauling corridors.

Disposal corridors

Track where landfill capacity and regional hauling intersect so you can pitch diversion projects that minimize landfill reliance.

  • Helps planners understand diversion opportunities by showing disposal capacity and distance to anaerobic digesters.
  • Use it to plan grant narratives around landfill avoidance and landfill-gas-to-energy pairings.
  • Limitations: permitted scope changes rapidly; verify with DEC and waste authorities before leveraging in permits.

Water chestnut harvest intelligence

Combine invasive control data with potential feedstock collection points to plan resilient anaerobic digestion pilots.

  • Pairs invasive species control data with potential feedstock collection points for anaerobic digestion pilots.
  • Use the layer to coordinate with conservation partners so harvests align with habitat protections.
  • Limitations: populations change yearly; reconfirm with DEC aquatic invasive species teams before scaling collection.
