Concerned residents from around the area packed the auditorium at Ivy Tech’s North Campus to demand IDEM deny Google’s permit for an additional 142 diesel generators on the site of the future data center campus. In the developer’s original plan, they asked for 34 emergency diesel generators, but speakers at the meeting suggested that proposal was in bad faith. Speakers also suggested IDEM force the developers to change their plan for emergency power management. Several speakers also suggested IDEM should revoke the permits for the original 34 generators. Developers are required to buy wetland mitigation credits to replace the destroyed wetlands, but they aren’t required to be in the same area.
