CLOSED-LOOP ONLY • NO WASTEWATER LOOPHOLES • PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT A DATA CENTER HEAT SINK

Noise + generator controls

Data centers should not become a permanent industrial noise source next to homes.

Noise map

Require a public acoustic propagation map before approval, showing homes affected under peak operations and generator testing.

Stricter limits

Use lower day/night limits near homes and add tonal, impulsive, and low-frequency penalties.

Generators

Emergency generators and testing should be included in the limits. Emergency use should not become a loophole.

Verification

Require post-operation nighttime testing, full-load generator sound tests, and enforceable CUP suspension/revocation.
