The Ohio EPA was moving towards a policy that would have allowed data centers to receive blanket wastewater discharge permits. The water would have gone into our lakes, rivers and streams without an environmental review process. Due to more than 7,000 comments submitted, the EPA will not move forward with its plans to make it easier for Data Centers to skirt significant ecological permitting requirements.
Thank you to all our Third Actors who submitted comments. It’s a rare win but shows that our comments can make a difference!
