Claxton and Demory — missing data register¶

Purpose: List what cannot be known confidently from current processed files in this vault for SITE_HOME (Claxton, Anderson County) and SITE_FARM (Demory, Campbell County), and what must be gathered next. This is a gap register, not a substitute for deeds, surveys, or county offices.

Epistemic stance: County-level NASS tables and one Campbell Web Soil Survey session (Demory site intelligence) improve context; they do not replace parcel truth. Uncertainty is explicit until evidence is filed.

Anchors: East Tennessee two-site farm business plan (package) · Local evidence package — East Tennessee two-site · Parcel evidence intake and validation workflow · Field verification program — Phase 0–1 (Claxton and Demory) · Claxton home base — site intelligence · Demory farm — site intelligence · Validation and pilot plan — first 24 months · Validation backlog and decision gates.

Legend — site: C = Claxton / Anderson · D = Demory / Campbell · Both = both sites.

1. Parcel-specific land intelligence still missing¶

Gap	Site	Why it matters	Resolve by	Blocks / informs
Legal boundary + acreage tied to operating map	Both	CAPEX, taxes, insurance, and V8 use/structures depend on deed vs mental map	Deed, plat, survey if disputed; single operating polygon in GIS/sketch	V8; fence/water eligibility; G1
WSS AOI clipped to ~5 ac / ~120 ac operating footprints	C (homestead AOI none in corpus)	Map units for homestead garden/buildings unknown	Draw WSS AOI on Claxton footprint; export report	V1; homestead build siting
WSS AOI aligned to management acres (not 558.6 ac session blob)	D	Vault capture is 558.6 ac ≠ ~120 ac plan label—soil % by field wrong until clipped	Redraw AOI to deed or operating boundary; re-run Soil Map	V1, V4; spatial model `MAP_AUTHORITY`
Easements / ingress / shared lane	Both	Batching and emergency access assumptions	Title search; neighbor letters; drive log	Trip policy; R13 security; V8

2. Buildability / septic / utilities data still missing¶

Gap	Site	Why it matters	Resolve by	Blocks / informs
OSSS / septic class + setbacks	C (primary residence/shop)	Homestead expand (shop, ADU) and health	County environmental health; perc/morph if required	Phase 0–1 homestead CAPEX; capital plan sequencing
Septic / SSDS for ag structures (if any)	D	Employee facilities, cooler, wash—if on path	Same + TDEC / county rules (`septic captures`)	V8 structures path; Phase 2+
Electric service size, transformer, single- vs three-phase	Both	Pump, cold, broker, homelab loads	Utility will-serve / meter data	Capital plan; smart-tech broker placement (`smart-tech strategy`)
ISP / fiber / LTE at address and at field pins	C primary; D for telemetry	Telemetry and office work truth	ISP maps; V10 drive tests at tanks/gates	V10; G8 path; instrumentation priority
Domestic vs ag power accounting (if split meters)	Both	Books and margin truth	Utility account structure	Revenue model; Schedule F hygiene (not tax advice)

3. Soil / slope / hydrology questions still unresolved¶

Gap	Site	Why it matters	Resolve by	Blocks / informs
Map unit + limiting factors on each field polygon	D (partial WSS); C unknown	Rotation, lime, wet no-go	Clip WSS; walk with map; optional soil test grid	V1, V4; enterprise strategy row-crop vs grazing
Hydric / ponding / seasonally wet areas	D	Fence, lanes, winter traffic	Field observation + wet year photos	V2 water routing; R14 erosion
Riparian / stream buffers / TDEC	D (streams in WSS imagery)	Crossings, waste stacking, civil liability	TDEC / county field visit	V2; risk register R10/R14
Karst / sink / cave risk	Both (ET variable)	Structure and waste siting	Local cave maps; walk	V8; buildability

4. Access / road / drainage / erosion unknowns¶

Gap	Site	Why it matters	Resolve by	Blocks / informs
Private road maintenance + liability	Both	Who plows, who pays grading	Easement docs; neighbor agreement	OPEX; trip reliability (Q2 `two-site ops`)
Grade, crown, culverts, rolling dips on primary haul route	D (steep AOI); C driveway	Mud/ice → batching failure	Bad-weather drive log; photos	Validation access row; R14
Internal farm lanes — base, width, sediment	D	Hay, stock, equipment cost	Engineer sketch or NRCS; rain event notes	Capital plan earthwork line; G1
Gate locations + winter icing	D	Labor and animal welfare	Tagged walk; V3 segments	Trip policy; labor surge

5. Market / rent / county-economic unknowns¶

Gap	Site	Why it matters	Resolve by	Blocks / informs
Your pasture/hay/lease rate vs NASS 2024 county cropland row	D	NASS is survey estimate, not pasture lease; Anderson $28.50 vs Campbell $27.50 is ballpark only	Signed comps; broker conversations; auction notes	V7; fallback thesis (`recommended enterprise strategy`)
Processing slots + haul shrink to your chosen outlets	D	V6 all-in per head	Processor calls; mileage log	V6; G1 margin
Property tax + ag classification outcomes	Both	Cash plan	County assessor; DOR ag rules (`ag exemption` context)	Revenue milestones; entity choice (professional)

6. Infrastructure reconnaissance still required¶

Gap	Site	Why it matters	Resolve by	Blocks / informs
Well reports / pump tests / seasonal flow	D	V2 herd ceiling	Pump test; log drawdown	V2, V4; water CAPEX
Fence segment condition by length	D	V3 repair tiers	Tagged photos + rough feet	V3; fence order
Handling MVP (corral, load-out) as-built	D	V6 marketing / welfare	Walk + measure	Phase 2 timing
Cold chain / power at processing adjacent loads	D	Shrink and regulatory risk	Trial haul; thermometer log	Revenue model processing row

7. What can be learned from desktop sources¶

Source type	What it can answer (still approximate)	Cannot replace
Web Soil Survey (new AOI per site)	Map units, slopes, broad limitation classes on drawn polygon	Perc, wet spots under trees, illegal fill history
FEMA NFHL / local flood layers	Zone hints for insurance and build setbacks	Field flood behavior in convective events
USGS / 3DEP	Drainage context, slope distribution	Pipe sizes, legal drainage rights
NASS Quick Stats / county rent PDFs	County economic ballpark	Your lease; pasture specifics when NASS `--`
FSA / NRCS public pages	Program eligibility surface	Signed contracts, EQIP approval

8. What requires on-site inspection, survey, or county-office interaction¶

Class	Examples	Typical owner
County office	Zoning V8, septic permits, assessor classification	Environmental health, planning, property assessor
Licensed survey / PE	Boundary disputes, structural pads on steep ground	Surveyor, geotech when warranted
Field inspection	Fence walk, wet year lanes, tank levels, predator pressure	Family + optional consult
Utility truck roll	Transformer location, line extension quotes	Power co-op / utility
Professional services	Title, entity, tax elections	Attorney, CPA

9. Field verification program (how gaps get closed)¶

Use Field verification program — Phase 0–1 (Claxton and Demory) as the operator checklist that maps each gap class above to site, method, evidence artifact, and validation gate (tasks V1–V12, gates G1–G3, and risk register rows). When a visit produces primary evidence, close or narrow the matching row here and append log.md per parcel evidence intake workflow.

Gap section (above)	Primary verification § (program)
§1 Parcel / land	§1 Site walks; §2 Access; WSS Both prep
§2 Buildability / septic / utilities	§4 Utilities; §8 Buildability/permits
§3 Soil / hydrology	§1 + §3 Drainage; V1 soil follow-up
§4 Access / road / drainage	§2 + §3
§6 Infrastructure recon	§1 Fence; §5 Power
§7 Market / rent	Mostly desktop + contracts—not a substitute for §§1–4

Anderson County vs Campbell County — operating implications — over-generalization risks
Execution readiness gap audit — execution-grade evidence themes
Pilot and recon checklists — copy-paste rows

This register should shrink as evidence lands in raw/processed/ + source-notes; log significant closes in log.md under lint or ingest.
