Where are the facilities relative to the transfer stations? Will some transportation emissions associated with these facilities be disproportionate due to haulage distance?

Showing where the facilities are and trying to demarcate type of process undertaken there, as well as sizing markers by annual tonnages received.
Then, create edges & nodes join to ready for connectors.
