Permit and commentAir and generators · Noise
South Carolina Department of Environmental Services announced a June 25 public hearing and availability session for Valara's compute-center proposal. SC Daily Gazette subsequently reported residents' air and generator-noise questions about the NorthMark/Valara development. These records document a comment process, not measured emissions, present compliance or a verified final permit outcome.
Record status: Unknown. The present original permit and appeal outcomes are unknown in this bounded review. Southern Environmental Law Center reported subsequent permit approval and an October 16 appeal. The original signed permit and court docket were not inspected; that party account is not a final judicial ruling or resolution of every concern.

The agency explicitly schedules June 25, 2026 and the June 26 original report describes the hearing as having occurred. The hearing date is separate from an application, final permit or later utility proceeding. The event page has no independently established first publication day. June 25 is the hearing date; June 26 is publication of the separate outlet report, not an issued permit day.
