The gap inventory

Every gap this study names, with the record that would close it and where to send it.

On the record

This page collects every ask the study makes: 4 gaps named across 4 chapters. Each ask names a public record that an office could produce tomorrow. Each is the same ask the site's leads board already tracks, never a second copy of it. An absence on this page is a finding, not a locked door.

What this study cannot compute yet

04 Water supply & consumptive use Partial

A real impact study would report a single consumptive-draw figure against the receiving water's low-flow floor. [open]

Computing it requires any record of how the facility rejects heat — a water contract, a wastewater permit, or a cooling-plant spec; until one surfaces, the water figures stay a bracketed range across candidate archetypes.

06 Heat Gap

A real impact study would report how much heat the discharge adds to a reach screened against Ohio's numeric temperature criterion at its design low flows. [open]

Computing it requires a thermal characterization for this project — none exists on the record.

Submit the record →

09 Air Gap

A real impact study would report the dispersion footprint of the campus's permitted backup-generator fleet. [open]

Computing it requires a DRAFT permit or public notice — an air-permit application is on the record here, but the document that names the generator fleet has not issued.

Submit the record →

11 Power & ratepayers Partial

A real impact study would report the campus's share of the serving utility's, balancing authority's, and state's annual load, from a grounded load figure. [open]

Computing it requires an instrument that grounds the IT load — an air permit or an interconnection filing; the load on the record is a screening bracket.
