Limitation: Groundwater district permitting for the new wells is not addressed in the agreement text fetched

Open source →

JURISDICTION STACK

Fermi America Project Matador East Campus: jurisdiction stack

VERIFIED_PRIMARY

City of Amarillo is the water contracting party even though the site is outside city limits; the city maintains a dedicated project page

Key data: City of Amarillo project page for the Fermi project; site outside city limits

Limitation: The city page and GEM differ on which counties the campus spans

Open source →

GENERAL CONTACT
