A custom buildpack is used to include the GEOS binaries necessary for Shapely. To force deployment to use a custom buildpack, add the following heroku config.

heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=git://github.com/JasonSanford/heroku-buildpack-python-geos.git

I think this buildpack will download/unpack the GEOS binaries each time you deploy which is not ideal. We should probably conditionally download these in the future.

Additionally, the LIBRARY_PATH must be updated so that Shapely can locate the necessary binaries.

heroku config:set LIBRARY_PATH=/app/.heroku/vendor/lib:vendor/geos/geos/lib
heroku config:set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/.heroku/vendor/lib:vendor/geos/geos/lib
