      <title>Permit and comment: Compass Statesville Campus</title>
      <link>https://datacentersatlas.com/concerns/#concern:nc-compass-stamey-farm-water-certification-notice-2026</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality published a notice seeking comments on the Stamey Farm Road / Compass water-quality certification application and proposed effects on streams and wetlands. Its pages list different October 2026 comment deadlines. The announced hearing is not independently verified as held, and the application&amp;#x27;s later outcome and applicable deadline remain unconfirmed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record status: unknown. The current certification disposition and actual hearing outcome are unknown in this bounded review. The reminder gives October 28 for written comments while the event page gives October 27; the applicable deadline is unconfirmed. A prospective notice is not an issued certification, observed stream/wetland impact or resolution of public concerns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Event date: &lt;time datetime="2026-09-21"&gt;September 21, 2026&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source publication date: &lt;time datetime="2026-09-21"&gt;September 21, 2026&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Disposition date: Not established&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Concern sources checked: &lt;time datetime="2026-10-18"&gt;October 18, 2026&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;September 21, 2026 is the agency&amp;#x27;s dated reminder publication/notice event, not the later scheduled hearing. Whether the September 28 hearing actually occurred was not independently verified; future comment deadlines are not accomplished events. The original reminder displays September 21, 2026 publication. First publication of the changing event page is unknown; its August 29 start and October 27 end are scheduled range labels, not independently verified first-posting or disposition days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Raised or recorded by North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.deq.nc.gov/news/press-releases/2026/09/21/reminder-ncdeq-division-water-resources-hold-public-hearing-401-water-quality-certification"&gt;North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.deq.nc.gov/news/events/individual-water-quality-certification-stamey-farm-road-data-centercompass-data-center"&gt;North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Counts describe attributed documentation, not harm or severity.

      <title>Permit and comment: Amazon Web Services Richmond County Data Center Campus</title>
      <link>https://datacentersatlas.com/concerns/#concern:nc-amazon-hamlet-joint-air-permit-comment-record-2026</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality announced final air permits for Amazon&amp;#x27;s Hamlet backup engines and Duke Energy&amp;#x27;s temporary bridge-power engines, with additional testing, monitoring and reporting following public comments. The agency keeps the two permitted activities separate. Its announcement establishes a permit action, not measured emissions, actual campus operation or resolution of every community concern.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record status: resolved. North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality announced issuance of the two named air authorizations. Resolved applies only to that paired permitting action; actual operation, measured emissions, present compliance and the outcome of every community concern are not established.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Event date: Not established&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source publication date: &lt;time datetime="2026-08-28"&gt;August 28, 2026&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Disposition date: Not established&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Concern sources checked: &lt;time datetime="2026-10-18"&gt;October 18, 2026&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The agency announcement says the final permits had been issued, but exact signed issuance days were not independently established. Event date stays unknown; the announcement day and originally scheduled hearing are not substituted. The original final-permit announcement displays August 28, 2026 publication. The undated hearing-event page and current check are separate from an unverified exact permit issuance day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Raised or recorded by North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.deq.nc.gov/news/events/public-hearing-preliminary-determination-air-quality-permit-applications-amazon-data-services-and"&gt;North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.deq.nc.gov/news/press-releases/2026/08/28/ncdeqs-division-air-quality-requires-additional-monitoring-testing-final-air-quality-permits-amazon"&gt;North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Counts describe attributed documentation, not harm or severity.
