Georgia Environmental Protection Division issued air permit 4911-217-0080-S-01-0 for the VoltaGrid prime-power generation component serving ATL2 at 10835 Hazelbrand Road. The signed permit and agency narrative document a conditional air authorization, not verified operation, all local approvals or disposition of earlier construction allegations. The final agency addendum treats the two facilities as one air-permitting source while retaining separate equipment permits; this does not merge Atlas identities.
Record status: Resolved. Georgia Environmental Protection Division issued the named air permit. Resolved applies only to this permit action; the outcome of earlier construction allegations, actual operation and present compliance are not established.

Public concern on the record Rockdale County Noise · Water use · Water quality and discharge · Power and electric rates · Air and generators · Land use and zoning · Wildlife, wetlands and stormwater · Other
Rockdale County Board of Commissioners recorded potential data center demands on land, electricity, water supply, wastewater, stormwater and emergency services in its signed resolution. It identified possible generator emissions, noise, heat discharge and effects on surrounding residential, agricultural and sensitive areas as matters needing analysis. These are attributed legislative findings about possible effects, not measured injury or violations at every facility. The resolution separately discusses battery storage fire and explosion risks, which are not assigned to all data centers.
Record status: Unknown. The selected institutional account records concern or a proposed legislative reason for review. Current concern resolution, measured facility effects, final current legal disposition and individual project eligibility remain unverified. A pause, draft text, extension or vote does not establish resolution of the underlying concern.

Company-published statement. Microsoft published Tyrone community boards describing a proposed design, anticipated cooling approaches and water infrastructure commitments. The concept is marked as subject to change during design and permitting. These are company statements, not an approved site plan, measured operating demand or independently verified environmental performance.
The boards are linked from Microsoft own Tyrone project update and name this proposed Tyrone data center. They address design and water topics in the same public discussion. Conflicting May session date labels are retained without asserting an exact meeting day.

Public concern on the record Richmond County Noise · Other
Augusta Georgia Government identifies noise, lighting, visual effects, buffers from residential neighborhoods and sensitive land uses, utility coordination, emergency access, environmental performance and stormwater as subjects of its proposed computing ordinance. The original account frames these as safeguards for residents and community character. These are attributed institutional policy concerns rather than measured noise, a proven service shortage, a violation or a facility specific allegation. Different proposed, approved and considering labels remain explicit, without certifying complete enactment, an effective day or resolution of these policy concerns.
Record status: Unknown. The selected institutional account records concern or a proposed legislative reason for review. Current concern resolution, measured facility effects, final current legal disposition and individual project eligibility remain unverified. A pause, draft text, extension or vote does not establish resolution of the underlying concern.
