Taylor–Montgomery

A circular system archetype diagram for the Taylor–Montgomery context. Use this as a shared “systems map” to align stakeholders on material flows, constraints, and a minimum viable pilot path.

Archetype Regional hub Circular flows

How this site was selected: Mapping layers pair feedstocks with infrastructure, the matrix approach (industrial/hauling, feedstock variation, pyrolysis, space/expansion) distills the strongest candidates, and the 25-50 mile coverage logic keeps proposals balanced. Read the methodology.

Tip: open this in a new tab to zoom, then use it in meetings as a shared reference.

Implementation notes

This section is a “pilot readiness checklist.” The diagram shows the system; these prompts help you build the coalition and de-risk the next step.

Questions to answer

What are the anchor feedstocks (municipal organics, ag residuals, biosolids, invasive species)-
Which existing facilities can be upgraded vs. what must be new build-
Where does value land: energy off-take, soil amendment markets, avoided disposal costs-
Which stakeholder is best positioned to host: county, town, private operator, or developer-

Best next step

Submit a site candidate and stakeholder list via Propose a pilot site. HVB can map it to a proven archetype and recommend a grant + permitting pathway.

Biosolids flow snapshot

This 2015 snapshot shows Orange County's biosolids moving through landfill, hauling, and land application lanes. Use it to frame constraints before you size anything.

HVB does not support co-digestion of sewage sludge with food waste; treat this as routing context and a guardrails trigger.

Evidence & policy context

Data & maps hub — ground each archetype in the baseline data, flows, and county briefs before pitching it.
Policy & funding hub — choose the right story (CLCPA, diversion, EJ) for this system.
CLCPA brief — tie the archetype into the state’s climate accountability framework.
Food waste law brief — highlight the diversion/compliance rationale when organics are on the route.
