ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE DEMOGRAPHIC

Luckett Road North/South

Pima County / Marana

The Marana site block group has a moderate minority share, below-median income, and a high ozone EJ percentile but very low NO2.

Key data: BG 040210021071: 30.7% people of color, $76,034 median HH income; US EJ-index pctiles PM2.5 16 / diesel 32 / RSEI-air 28 / **ozone 72** / traffic 27 / NO2 4; state PM2.5 pctile 43

CORROBORATED

Limitation: Coordinates approximated; EJ-index (D2) percentiles; Arizona has no regulatory EJ designation, so screening data has no legal effect here.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE DEMOGRAPHIC

Hassayampa Ranch (Z250047 / CPA250008)

Maricopa County / Tonopah

The Hassayampa Ranch block group has the second-highest minority share and lowest median income among the Arizona anchors, with a high ozone EJ percentile.

Key data: BG 040130506034: **42.2% people of color**, $58,947 median HH income; US pctiles 42/22/34/**78**/29/31; state PM2.5 pctile 62

CORROBORATED

Limitation: Same caveats; rural block groups in Maricopa County are geographically enormous, so the containing block group may poorly represent the immediate area.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE DEMOGRAPHIC

NTT Mesa PH10/PH6

Maricopa County / Mesa

The Mesa NTT block group is high-income with a moderate minority share and mid-range EJ indexes.

Key data: BG 040138176003: 34.3% people of color, $111,464 median HH income; US pctiles 31/46/52/64/47/45; state PM2.5 pctile 39

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE DEMOGRAPHIC

Fortescue Buckeye (Ord. 04-26)

Maricopa County / Buckeye

The Buckeye site block group is majority people of color, lower-income, and screens in the 82nd–83rd percentile for the PM2.5 EJ index — a genuine EJ-burden profile.

Key data: BG 040137233041: **57.0% people of color**, $59,567 median HH income; US pctiles **PM2.5 82** / diesel 44 / RSEI-air 53 / **ozone 82** / traffic 56 / NO2 11; **state PM2.5 pctile 83**

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE DEMOGRAPHIC

Prime PHX01

Maricopa County / Avondale

Avondale is the **highest-burden site of all 18 screened across the three states**: 78.3% people of color with EJ-index percentiles in the high 80s to 90 nationally. Notably, no EJ review process applies to it.

Key data: BG 040130822083: **78.3% people of color**, $67,315 median HH income; US pctiles **PM2.5 89** / diesel 84 / RSEI-air 87 / **ozone 90** / traffic 73 / NO2 69; **state PM2.5 pctile 89**

CORROBORATED

Limitation: Same caveats. The contrast with Illinois is the key insight: an identical profile in Elk Grove Village would trigger a written Illinois EPA Title VI review; in Avondale it triggers nothing.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE DEMOGRAPHIC

"Project Blue" (Humphrey's Peak Properties / Beale Infrastructure)

Pima County

The Project Blue block group near the Pima County Fairgrounds screens very low on EJ indexes — among the least burdened sites screened — despite being the most politically contested project in Arizona.

Key data: BG 040190041091: 21.9% people of color, $87,179 median HH income; US pctiles 4/5/23/48/17/20; state PM2.5 pctile 14

CORROBORATED

Limitation: Same caveats. Reinforces that EJ screening and civic conflict are weakly correlated.

WATER WITHDRAWAL VOLUME

Marana Town Code 17-6-13 — potable water prohibition

Pima County / Marana

Marana's code contains the most restrictive municipal water provision found anywhere in this research: the town water department **will not** supply potable water for data center cooling, and the developer must demonstrate an alternate source.

Key data: Verbatim: *"The Marana water department will not provide potable water to a data center... for its cooling system, humidity control, and other similar operations. The developer must demonstrate an alternate source of water."*

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: Adopting ordinance: [Ord. 2024.029 (PDF)](https://www.maranaaz.gov/files/assets/cityofmarana/v/1/town-clerk/documents/ordinances/ordinance-2024.029-adoptiong-amendments-to-marana-town-code-title-17-_land-development_-revising-section-17-1-6-definitions.pdf).

Luckett Road North/South — water phasing condition

Pima County / Marana

Both rezoning ordinances require a Water Infrastructure and Phasing Plan accepted by Marana Water before development proceeds.

Project Blue — phased water demand

Pima County

A Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department site-query response gives the most precise multi-phase water demand projection found in any state: a twelvefold increase across 2026–2035.

Key data: Industrial water demand **29.38 → 352.62 million gallons per year**; max day **0.45 → 5.41 MGD**, phased 2026–2035

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: Document is a county form response obtained and hosted by a news outlet, marked confidential; it reflects developer-supplied projections. Developer commits to a 100% reclaimed-water pipeline at its own expense per the [City of Tucson fact sheet (PDF)](https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/government/city-manager-office/documents/project-blue-updated-fact-sheet_250714.pdf), though opponents say potable water would be used for the first two years.

WATER WITHDRAWAL VOLUME

Buckeye tech corridor water cap

Maricopa County / Buckeye

Buckeye capped data center water for the corridor at 2,000 acre-feet, and the city notes the previously planned residential development on the same land would have used more.

Key data: Water capped at **2,000 acre-feet**; prior residential plan would have used 4,500 AF/yr

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: City-published advocacy page; the 2,000 AF figure's legal instrument (development agreement vs. ordinance) is unclear, and it applies to the Tract corridor rather than specifically to the Fortescue parcel. City states no data centers are currently operating or in permitting.

WATER WITHDRAWAL VOLUME

Mesa Sustainable Water Service Agreement

Maricopa County / Mesa

Mesa negotiated a demand ceiling framework for a large data center water service agreement, reducing the ceiling substantially from the initial request.

Key data: Demand ceiling reduced from 550 AF/yr to **330 AF/yr**

CORROBORATED

Limitation: Extracted from council minutes; the specific facility this agreement covers was not confirmed to be NTT PH10/PH6. Mesa's broader policy limits data centers to 115 gallons/day per 1,000 sq ft per a [2015 policy described by Water Desk](https://waterdesk.org/2025/04/data-centers-a-small-but-growing-factor-in-arizonas-water-budget/).

Hassayampa Ranch — water objections

Maricopa County / Tonopah

Formal objections to the Hassayampa Ranch rezoning cited daily consumption of "millions of gallons" and total reliance on groundwater; Maricopa County's own P&Z record notes the county does not supply water.

Key data: Objections cite "millions of gallons of water daily"; Maricopa County P&Z minutes state "Maricopa County does not supply water"

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: No quantified water demand appears in the county record — a significant gap for a ~2,000-acre, $25B project.

UTILITY INTERCONNECTION QUEUE

Interconnection queue for data center load

statewide

**NOT_FOUND.** Arizona is not in an RTO/ISO, so there is no public interconnection queue analogous to PJM's for load or generation serving these projects. Service is arranged through utility contracts reviewed by the Arizona Corporation Commission. The only quantified capacity commitment found is the TEP Energy Supply Agreement.

Key data: TEP–Beale Infrastructure ESA: **286 MW** (about 20% below the original request), ACC Docket **E-01933A-25-0187**

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: Searched ACC dockets, APS/SRP/TEP materials. No queue position, study number, or MW figure was found for Marana Luckett, Hassayampa Ranch, NTT Mesa, Fortescue Buckeye, or Prime PHX01.

COMMUNITY OPPOSITION OR LITIGATION

Luckett Road rezoning — opposition and referendum

Pima County / Marana

The council rezoned 6-0 amid boos from residents. Opponents (Arizonans for Responsible Development) submitted 2,800 referendum signatures but then withdrew the challenge; a separate anti-data-center slate lost the July 2026 town council election except for one seat. Notably, one of the two parcels is owned by the Kai Family Trust and council member Herb Kai is listed in county property records for it.

Key data: Council **6-0** on 2026-01-06 (Planning Commission 6-0 on 2025-12-10); **2,800 referendum signatures** submitted then withdrawn; ~611 acres total (300-ac Kai Family Trust parcel + 310-ac LDS Church parcel); $5B project

RATEPAYER OR GRID IMPACT

TEP Energy Supply Agreement — Attorney General appeal

statewide

This is the most consequential ratepayer proceeding across all three states: the ACC approved the TEP–Beale special energy agreement 4-1, denied rehearing, and **Attorney General Kris Mayes appealed to Maricopa County Superior Court**, arguing that letting a utility and a data center set rate schedules between themselves violates the Arizona Constitution's grant of exclusive ratemaking authority to the ACC.

Key data: ACC approved **4-1** on 2025-12-03 (Commissioner Walden dissenting); rehearing applications automatically denied 2026-01-21; AG appeal filed in Maricopa County Superior Court seeking to vacate and remand with instructions to strike the provision; AG: "ordinary Arizonans will be left to pick up the tab"

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: Superior Court case number and exact filing date are not stated in the AG release. Rehearing denial confirmed by [ACC statement](https://www.azcc.gov/news/home/2026/01/21/acc-statement-on-applications-for-rehearing-re--tep-energy-supply-agreement).

AGRICULTURAL OR LAND USE CONVERSION

Luckett Road — land use conversion

Pima County / Marana

Roughly 611 acres of R-144 rural/residential-zoned land was rezoned to accommodate the data center campus; this was low-density rural land rather than active agriculture, so no agricultural mitigation instrument applies.

Key data: ~611 acres rezoned from R-144 (rural residential): 300.5 ac (Ord. 2026.002) + 310.7 ac (Ord. 2026.003)

VERIFIED PRIMARY

AGRICULTURAL OR LAND USE CONVERSION

Hassayampa Ranch — plan amendment

Maricopa County / Tonopah

The county redesignated roughly 2,077 acres from a residential/mixed-use master plan — which had authorized up to 5,707 dwelling units — to industrial use for the data center campus. This is a large-scale conversion of planned housing capacity, not farmland.

Key data: ~2,077 acres redesignated (CPA 25008); prior master plan capped at **5,707 residential units**

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: The 5,707-unit cap appears in the earlier master plan report; the acreage figure varies between ~1,687, ~2,000, and ~2,077 across documents depending on whether it is the rezoning or plan-amendment boundary.

Fortescue Buckeye (Ord. 04-26)

Maricopa County / Buckeye

Buckeye modified and removed stipulations from Ordinance 18-23 to convert a site previously entitled for a green hydrogen plant into a potential data center — an industrial-to-industrial conversion with a very different resource profile.

Key data: Ordinance **04-26** adopted 2026-03-03 amending Ord. 18-23 on ~157–158 acres at SR85 & Patterson Rd; P&Z recommendation 2026-02-10

DECOMMISSIONING PROVISION

Luckett Road North/South — decommissioning conditions

Pima County / Marana

Marana's ordinances contain the **only explicit data center decommissioning language found in any of the three states**. Verbatim (Condition 19 North / Condition 20 South): *"If the data center use in the Rezoning Area is discontinued, the Property Owners must cause all data center hardware and infrastructure to be removed from the buildings' interior in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations, and must establish and execute security protocols to ensure the safety and upkeep of the property within the Rezoning Area, including protocols in the event the property becomes vacant."* However, there is **no bond, surety, escrow, or other financial assurance** backing it, and it covers only interior hardware — not the buildings, substations, or site restoration.

Key data: Condition 19 (Ord. 2026.002) / Condition 20 (Ord. 2026.003); **no financial assurance required**; obligation limited to buildings' interior hardware plus vacancy security protocols

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: Residents at the January 6 hearing explicitly asked the council to reject the rezoning until "an extensive end of life addition to the data center regulations in much greater detail" was added, per the [meeting video record](https://maranaaz.new.swagit.com/videos/371317) — the council approved without it.

DECOMMISSIONING PROVISION

Decommissioning provisions outside Marana

Maricopa County (Hassayampa Ranch, Mesa NTT, Buckeye)

**NOT_FOUND.** No decommissioning, removal, or site-restoration requirement was found for Hassayampa Ranch (Z250047), NTT Mesa, Fortescue Buckeye, or Prime PHX01. The only "decommissioning" language located in Maricopa County code concerns decommissioning **Area Plans** as planning documents, not physical facilities.

Key data: Maricopa County Land Use Policy #1.17 addresses decommissioning an Area Plan, not a facility

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: Searched Maricopa County zoning ordinance and Hassayampa Ranch staff reports and stipulations, plus Mesa's data center text amendments. Absence is the finding.

DECOMMISSIONING PROVISION

Mesa Council Use Permit waivers under A.R.S. § 12-1134

Maricopa County / Mesa

Mesa's data center zoning amendments create a **non-discretionary waiver** path: if a property owner files a valid A.R.S. § 12-1134 claim meeting the ordinance requirements, data centers become permitted in any district allowing indoor warehousing — sharply limiting the city's ability to attach conditions like decommissioning.

Key data: "Waiver is not discretionary — if a valid claim under ARS 12-1134 and meets all the requirements"; waiver must be filed within three years; absent a waiver, data centers are limited to General Industrial and Heavy Industrial districts

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: This is a structurally important finding for the master database: Arizona's Proposition 207 (A.R.S. § 12-1134) regulatory-takings statute constrains municipal conditioning authority over data centers. A parallel [Casa Grande binding waiver draft (PDF)](https://public.destinyhosted.com/casagdocs/2026/CCREG/20260803_2810/10017_CG-Waiver-Draft-2026-07-30-city_(002).pdf) shows the same mechanism used elsewhere.

FISCAL IMPACT LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Tract Buckeye development agreement (adjacent, not Fortescue)

Maricopa County / Buckeye

The Buckeye tech corridor's anchor development agreement includes a large reimbursement mechanism funded by a share of tax revenue — a contingent public cost rather than a straight abatement.

Key data: Up to **$50M reimbursement** via 20% of tax revenue once $60M has been generated; 2,807-acre tech corridor approved

**NOT_FOUND.** No fiscal impact study, property tax projection, abatement agreement, Government Property Lease Excise Tax (GPLET) arrangement, or community benefit payment was located for Luckett Road North/South, Hassayampa Ranch, NTT Mesa, or Prime PHX01. This is the sharpest contrast with Illinois, where Joliet and Yorkville published nine-figure payment terms.

Key data: No fiscal analysis or payment terms found for any AZ anchor project

VERIFIED PRIMARY

Limitation: Searched both Marana ordinances in full, Maricopa County Hassayampa staff reports, Mesa text amendments, and town/city data center pages. Arizona's data centers commonly use the state Computer Data Center Program tax exemption administered at state level, which would not appear in local records — a plausible explanation for the absence.

NOISE OR TRAFFIC IMPACT

Marana has the most detailed and enforceable data center noise regime found anywhere in this research: numeric day/night dBA caps by adjacent land use, mandatory third-party acoustic engineering, a post-construction noise study gating the certificate of occupancy, **annual noise studies for five years**, and required acoustical barriers.

Key data: Max dBA day/night: residential and mixed-use **55/55**; agricultural **60/55**; commercial **65/60**; industrial **72/65**. Requires third-party acoustic engineer design specifications; post-construction noise study before CO (temporary CO if exceeded, **no permanent CO if unresolved**); **annual noise studies for 5 years**; acoustical barrier on all four sides adjacent to residential

NOISE OR TRAFFIC IMPACT

Luckett Road — traffic and roadway conditions

Pima County / Marana

The rezoning ordinances require a Traffic Impact Analysis before development plan approval and place the entire cost of the Luckett Road extension on the developer, with cash deposits due within 30 days of a grading permit and 10% annual interest on late amounts.

Key data: Condition 4: TIA required prior to development plan. Condition 11: developer pays **full cost** of Luckett Road Extension to a two-lane rural collector standard to Pinal Airpark Rd; cash deposits within **30 days** of grading permit; **10%/yr interest** on late amounts

CUMULATIVE REGIONAL IMPACT

Data center concentration and groundwater depletion

Maricopa County (Phoenix metro)

Independent journalistic and NGO analyses provide the only cumulative regional picture for Arizona. The Arizona Republic used air quality records to identify data center campuses across Maricopa County and estimate their aggregate energy draw; Ceres modeled cumulative water stress centered on Phoenix.

Key data: Arizona Republic identified **71 data center campuses planned or operating in Maricopa County**; Consumer Federation of America cites **48 operating campuses** in the Phoenix–Maricopa region with associated groundwater depletion

DISCOVERY LEAD

Limitation: The 71 vs. 48 discrepancy reflects different definitions and dates (planned+operating vs. operating). CFA figure from [Consumer Federation of America](https://consumerfed.org/in-the-shadow-of-big-tech-part-3-the-real-harms-felt-by-communities-on-the-frontlines/); water-stress modeling from [Ceres — Drained by Data](https://www.ceres.org/resources/reports/drained-by-data-the-cumulative-impact-of-data-centers-on-regional-water-stress).

CUMULATIVE REGIONAL IMPACT

State or county cumulative impact assessment

statewide

**NOT_FOUND.** No ADWR, ADEQ, Maricopa County, or Pima County cumulative assessment of aggregate data center water or power demand was located. Each rezoning is evaluated in isolation, and the Maricopa County Planning & Zoning record states that the county does not supply water — leaving cumulative groundwater effects unassigned to any reviewing body.

Key data: No agency cumulative assessment located

DISCOVERY LEAD

Limitation: Searched ADWR, ADEQ, Maricopa County and Pima County sites plus general queries. Arizona has no NEPA-equivalent state environmental review statute, so no cumulative-impact document is legally required for private industrial rezonings. Absence of a document is not evidence of absence of impact.

Arizona projects — ADWR assured water supply designations

Multiple

Searched for ADWR Assured Water Supply certificates/designations tied to Luckett Road North/South, Hassayampa Ranch, HEGIC South, NTT Mesa, Prime Avondale and Project Blue. No ADWR determination number was located for any project; the only water-authority evidence found is provider-level (Marana Water WIP requirement, Tucson Water for Project Blue, Global Water Resources as a likely partner for Hassayampa Ranch, septic/on-site for HEGIC South).

Key data: No ADWR AWS certificate or designation number found for any of the nine AZ projects

DISCOVERY LEAD

Limitation: ADWR's AWS database/interactive map was not accessed in this session; designations for Marana and Tucson Water as providers likely exist at the provider level rather than per project.

Mesa Data Center Council Use Permit Waivers — case list

Maricopa County / Mesa

Attempted to enumerate individual granted Council Use Permit / data center law waiver cases. Mesa's open-data planning-cases extract and Legistar returned design review and rezoning items (e.g., DRB25-00900, DRB25-00647) but no filterable list of granted data center waivers; only the enabling ordinance and the waiver application form were located.

Key data: Enabling framework found (Ordinance 5957 + "Data Center Law Waiver" application); no itemized waiver case list

DISCOVERY LEAD

Limitation: Mesa's data portal extract (data.mesaaz.gov planning cases CSV) does not label data center waivers as a distinct case type in the records reviewed.

Research and local discovery

Find data center projects and the public records around them in Arizona.

This state page combines mapped locations with permits, planning and zoning activity, infrastructure context, operators and civic records. The deeper corpus is supplemented by 9 accepted rows from the validated national refresh. Counts describe evidence records, not unique facilities.

Where a source does not establish a location, utility, water supplier or other fact, that gap remains explicit rather than being converted into an unsupported map point or claim.
