FORESTOP READINGSYNTH

SE coalfield is the convergence: high fire load, high energy burden, T&E habitat density, sub-Rx capacity, declining mills. Single landscape policy can pivot 5 layers.

SINGLE-PIVOT POLICYFY26 ASK

Stand up a SE-KY Landscape Cell that runs Rx burns, monitors T&E habitat, sources stave-grade white oak via stewardship contracts, and routes datacenter siting to retired-coal corridors.

▸ +14 burn bosses · KDF + DBNF + NPS interagency
▸ Sec. 7 auto-flag on every Atlas parcel touch
▸ CHIMS Title-VI overlay on all PSC dockets
▸ Stave-log stewardship · 30k-ac annual target

METHODSPROVENANCE

5km hex tessellation. Each layer normalized 0–1 (Rx-gap inverted). Weights: fire .20 · Rx .15 · T&E .20 · burden .20 · datacenter .10 · wood .15. Index ≥ 7 surfaces in CHIMS rank.
