Data Centers Atlas: Georgia

Permit and comment: Serverfarm Covington Data Center (Hazelbrand Road)

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.
