Indiana Department of Environmental Management published a draft air-permit notice for Amazon Data Services in Wheatfield. Its later notices schedule a November 10, 2026 hearing following a hearing request and comments, and extend comments through November 16. This documents a pending permit procedure, not an issued permit, completed hearing or finding of measured impacts.
Record status: Pending. Indiana Department of Environmental Management published an extended comment period and scheduled a hearing for the named draft air permit. Pending applies only to that process. Comments are extended through November 16, 2026, with a hearing scheduled for November 10. No final decision, completed hearing, current operation or resolution of every concern was verified.

News report St. Joseph County Water quality and discharge
WVPE reported South Bend council questions about the composition of wastewater from an Amazon data center sent to the city's treatment plant. This records an outlet account of public questions. It does not establish the exact originating campus, contaminant levels, a discharge violation or a current permit outcome.
Record status: Unknown. The disposition of the reported water-composition questions is unknown in this bounded review. A proposed transparency bill and historical interview account do not establish a current water-quality result, permit decision, wrongdoing or resolution.
Event date Not established
Source publication date September 8, 2026
Disposition date Not established
Concern sources checked October 18, 2026 The outlet refers to an August 20 committee meeting and reported later conversations. The exact independently reviewed concern-event day remains unknown because original minutes and a filed utility inquiry were not inspected. The original report displays September 8, 2026 publication. That day is outlet publication, not an independently established discharge event, contamination finding or agency order.

Public concern on the record Land use and zoning · Noise · Water use · Health · Other
Residents requested a moratorium and raised land use, noise, water and health concerns during the August 4, 2026 Posey Board discussion of possible data center development near Boberg Road. Some comments addressed data centers generally. The record establishes the public comment episode, not measured effects from an operating Boberg facility, an adopted moratorium or a formal project denial.
Record status: Unknown. The bounded review establishes the documented action and attributed statements only. It does not establish final resolution of underlying public concerns, present compliance or measured site effects.

News report Air and generators · Traffic and construction · Power and electric rates
WVPE reported dust, construction-truck and backup-generator questions about Microsoft's Granger project, following earlier reporting on electricity rates and reliability. It described county officials' monitoring and dust-control accounts. These are attributed reports and plans, not independently measured conditions, a published formal complaint case or a resolved compliance finding.
Record status: Unknown. The later outcome of the documented concerns is unknown in this bounded review. County monitoring accounts and company plans do not establish measured air conditions, completed mitigation, the outcome of individual complaints or current compliance.

Source publication date May 30, 2026
Disposition date Not established
Concern sources checked October 18, 2026 The reports describe several panel and county meetings. A single independently checked exact concern-event day is not established for this combined report item. The company separately identifies a May 19, 2026 open house, not a formal agency hearing. The later original WVPE report was published May 30, 2026; background reporting was published February 19. The company recap was first published May 20, separate from its May 19 meeting. The exact first publication day of the linked company PDF remains unknown.
Raised or recorded by WVPE.
Company-published statement. Microsoft stated in its community materials that it plans to cover infrastructure costs, coordinate water supply and obtain applicable generator permits. The materials describe planned cooling and design measures. These are company commitments and plans, not independently verified permits, achieved mitigation or measured resource use.
The original company recap links these materials from its May 19, 2026 St. Joseph County meeting, and their site context matches Granger. They precede the May 30 construction report and are not an express answer to its dust or truck-route accounts. The exact first PDF posting date is unknown.

Public concern on the record Noise · Water quality and discharge · Land use and zoning · Health
Residents raised concerns about wells, noise, air emissions, health and loss of farmland around the Amazon Hobart proposal at the March 18, 2026 Council meeting. The signed minutes record those statements and municipal replies. A resident account of a medical conversation and reports about another campus are not independently verified medical evidence or measured site effects. No merits or concern resolution is inferred.
Record status: Unknown. The bounded review establishes the documented action and attributed statements only. It does not establish final resolution of underlying public concerns, present compliance or measured site effects.

Public concern on the record Water use · Water quality and discharge · Noise · Power and electric rates · Land use and zoning · Other
Residents raised concerns about water demand, wells, electricity use, noise, agricultural land, taxes, fire protection and public notice during the February 10, 2026 Fulton County planning discussion. The same original minutes record Decennial representatives describing an exploratory computing proposal without a selected site or signed agreement. These are attributed concerns within that proposal discussion, without verified contamination, measured noise, established rate impacts, a selected physical property or proof of resolution.
Record status: Unknown. The selected original record attributes residents questions to the County computing discussion in which Decennial representatives outlined an exploratory proposal. Potential impacts are not independently measured or resolved. Later general pause adoption does not prove resolution of water, noise, land or power concerns.

Hancock County Area Plan Commission recorded technical comments on Surge PUD 25 2592 about plan completeness, lot coverage, setbacks, tree preservation, road access, drainage and water capacity for operations and fire protection. The petition was forwarded with neither support nor objection.

Company statement published by an agency or court. Surge Development stated that it was working with the County Surveyor on drainage and that Duke Energy had confirmed power availability. Its representative confirmed the identified parcel was a cooling park. These are developer statements recorded by the agency, not independent utility delivery verification or a comprehensive response resolving every technical comment.
The agency identifies the company as the project developer. This response attribution does not establish a data center operator role or change any existing provider relationship.

Permit and comment St. Joseph County Air and generators · Health · Water use · Water quality and discharge · Power and electric rates · Traffic and construction
Indiana Department of Environmental Management recorded public questions about generator air, health, water, electricity and traffic in its New Carlisle air-permit review for Amazon at 55001 Larrison Boulevard. The agency documented two meetings and its responses. This is a permit/comment record; the reviewed cover has no completed issue date and does not verify a final present-day outcome.
Record status: Unknown. The present formal permit disposition and outcome of the documented concerns are unknown in this bounded review. The packet records completed meetings and agency responses, but its blank issue-date cells and statement that a permit will issue do not establish a signed final issuance, current compliance or resolution of every concern.

It does not establish one exact filing day for every public comment. The original initial notice was posted October 1, 2024, as confirmed in the later agency addendum.
