Approved by Drainage Board

The St. Joseph County Drainage Board approved construction-site dewatering discharge of up to 31 million gallons per day into the Niespodziany Ditch from the southwest corner of the property, reduced from Amazon's requested 35 MGD. Monitoring devices will track ditch water levels and the board can suspend dewatering. Neighboring farmers pushed back over planting-season impacts; Amazon issued a "letter of commitment" to engage in good faith on landowner concerns.

Key data: 31 MGD dewatering discharge approved (35 MGD requested)
