They may not even know the name of the company building the data center. \nJoin us\, along with ReImagine Appalachia\, to learn what an NDA is\, why it matters\, critical information that NDAs often keep hidden\, and which pushback efforts have been effective against NDAs at local and state levels. \n​RSVP here.​ URL:https://envirodelco.org/event/full-disclosure-data-centers-ndas-and-transparency/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Data Centers,Presentation,Virtually ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://envirodelco.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/event-26-08-13.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260814T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260814T130000 DTSTAMP:20260813T000739Z CREATED:20260813T000739Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260813T000739Z UID:13014-1786708800-1786712400@envirodelco.org SUMMARY:EPA Comment Party DESCRIPTION:The EPA is proposing to eliminate minimum federal public participation requirements for many “minor source” air pollution permits—the very permits often used for diesel backup generators at data centers. If adopted\, communities could lose guaranteed notice and the opportunity to comment before new pollution sources are approved. \nJoin us for a Comment Party designed to help you learn about the proposed rule and submit your comments before the August 21 deadline. \nOur hosts\, Annie Fox (Clean Air Council) and Malachi Key (Air Alliance Houston) will present on the proposed change and why it matters to communities facing data center development. \nThe rest of our time will be spent writing and submitting our comments\, with staff on hand to provide technical assistance and review. \nWe’re hosting two sessions to accommodate as many supporters as possible. \n​RSVP for Friday\, August 14th session.​ \n​RSVP for Monday\, August 17th session.
