      <title>Dated record: Scrubgrass Generating Plant</title>
      <link>https://datacentersatlas.com/pennsylvania/#bitfarms-scrubgrass-kennerdell-pa</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recorded event date: &lt;time datetime="2026-06-29"&gt;June 29, 2026&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keel’s second-quarter filing reports that Bitcoin mining at Scrubgrass ceased on June 29, 2026 while energy sales continued. This closes the mining activity, not the entire power site; future HPC/AI development is separate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A recorded date retains its original source and phase scope. A scheduled date does not confirm that the event happened or permission was granted. Source-check dates are separate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://ir.keelinfra.com/static-files/8ca60e67-771d-4b01-9f19-725026877e1a"&gt;ir.keelinfra.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

      <title>Permit and comment: Project Hazelnut</title>
      <link>https://datacentersatlas.com/concerns/#concern:pa-hazelnut-water-permit-comment-notice-2026</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection announced a comment hearing on Project Hazelnut&amp;#x27;s water-obstruction and stormwater permit applications, including discharges to Black Creek, Stony Creek and nearby wetlands. The notice scheduled a February 17 hearing with a snow date. It does not establish that the hearing occurred, what residents said, permit issuance or a violation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Record status: unknown. The later permit and comment-process outcome is unknown in this bounded review. A hearing notice does not establish actual testimony, a final decision, measured discharge, resolution of concerns or present compliance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Event date: &lt;time datetime="2026-02-12"&gt;February 12, 2026&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source publication date: &lt;time datetime="2026-02-12"&gt;February 12, 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;February 12, 2026 is the dated announcement, not proof that the planned February 17 hearing or reserved February 19 snow date occurred. The original agency release displays February 12, 2026 publication. The developer page is undated; its source check date and copyright year do not establish publication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Raised or recorded by Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Company-published statement&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;NorthPoint Development described plans to use reclaimed water for cooling and privately fund sewer improvements, and states that it will avoid local potable water and wells for cooling. These are developer commitments, not independent water measurements, a permit decision or verification of completed work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The undated original project page gives the developer&amp;#x27;s water-handling position for the same Hazelnut proposal. It is linked as general same-project context, not as an express reply to the February notice, specific stormwater comments or an agency finding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Response publication date: Not established&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Response sources checked: &lt;time datetime="2026-10-18"&gt;October 18, 2026&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://projecthazelnut.com/"&gt;NorthPoint Development&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dep/newsroom/2026-02-12-dep-to-host-public-meeting-and-hearing-for-project-hazlenut-data-center-luzerne-county"&gt;Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Counts describe attributed documentation, not harm or severity. Allegations, procedural outcomes and published replies retain their separate scope.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
