Case mapGaps & effects

Follow each physical stop.

A process schematic, not a surveyed utility map. Solid cards describe source-supported stages; dashed cards require records. Arrows indicate the question being traced, not a confirmed pipe or measured transfer.

Stop 1 · records needed

Raw water → utility supply

Exact source-to-meter pathway and abstraction records needed.

Stop 2 · documented stage

Cargill processing

Integrated soybean crushing/refining is company-reported. Actual water balance needed.

Stop 3 · records needed

Wastewater destination

Municipal sewer, direct discharge, reuse and disposal routes require current records.

Stop 4 · records needed

Fuel / grid electricity

Purchased-power and fuel balance needed; GHGRP covers a combustion reporting scope.

Stop 5 · records needed

Process heat / steam

Identify equipment, cooling demands and any actual generation before tracing exports.

Stop 6 · records needed

People and receiving land

No actual household subsidy or causal soil impact quantified.

What makes this a physical map?

For every proposed connection, obtain the named origin and destination, asset or permit identifier, dates, metered quantity, operating purpose, and the source record. Supply, consumption, cooling, sewer discharge and water returned to a river are different measurements.

Institutions are a separate layer

The case map identifies operators, regulators, utilities and financial custodians. Their legal relationships cannot substitute for a verified pipe, meter or flow balance.
