ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE DEMOGRAPHIC

SDC ATLA, LLC (permit application 29802, AIRS 097-00103)

Douglas (Winston)

NOT_FOUND in the permit record: EPD's permit narrative for the 315-generator campus contains **no** environmental justice analysis, demographic screening, or disadvantaged-community designation — the only area characterization is "Douglas County is designated as an attainment area for all criteria pollutants." Sierra Club was the sole commenter (advisory closed Sept 5, 2025).

Key data: Zero EJ analysis in narrative; attainment area for all criteria pollutants; 315 generators @ 2.5 MW

WATER WITHDRAWAL VOLUME

QTS Fayetteville I

Fayette (Fayetteville)

The most concrete Georgia water record found. County billing records show QTS's Fayetteville site went from one water line (Feb 2024, 20.6 million gallons billed) to **13 water lines totaling 109 million gallons billed** — at least the equivalent of 11 Georgia Aquariums. An internal county letter said two additional lines were "installed without the knowledge or inspection by (county) staff"; the county billed QTS **$147,000** and blamed a smart-meter migration for the gap. QTS says operational domestic use will be only ~**9,000–12,000 gallons per month** per building (≈4 households) once closed-loop cooling is complete in **2030**, and that the site uses <1% of county water production. An advocacy account of the same records puts three meters at ~**40.7 million gallons** unknown/unapproved, a **$225,385** retroactive bill, and QTS's COO citing a **174,000 gal/day** average — versus a public claim of "2,000 gallons a day" for the whole campus.

Key data: 13 lines / 109 million gallons billed; $147,000 bill; 600-acre site; ~9,000–12,000 gal/month operational

CORROBORATED

Limitation: The two accounts give different meter totals and bill amounts ($147,000 vs $225,385) — likely different meter subsets or billing rounds; underlying county records were not fetched. (confidence detail: CORROBORATED (WRDW) / DISCOVERY_LEAD (Substack))

The Keep 2 Campus (Switch) — county policy

Bartow (Cartersville)

Bartow County's official policy statement gives design-class figures rather than a project volume: an open-loop evaporative facility in the 100 MW class may consume ~**500,000 gallons per day**, while closed-loop/air-cooled designs can cut consumption by **as much as 95%**. Standards adopted **July 1, 2026** require every data center to use closed-loop or functionally equivalent cooling and prohibit open-loop, once-through, and continuously evaporative cooling. Switch (City of Cartersville) is served by the Bartow County Water System and initially asked about evaporative cooling for future phases before saying customers prefer closed-loop.

Key data: ~500,000 gal/d per 100 MW open-loop class; closed-loop mandate effective 2026-07-01; project volume n.a.

COMMUNITY OPPOSITION OR LITIGATION

SDC ATLA area / TC Atlanta Development (Winston)

Douglas (Winston)

Winston has seen repeated single-vote approvals over staff objections: the Douglas County Commission approved the TC Atlanta Development data center on the **old Waldrop Farms property** on **February 4, 2025** after "months of community opposition" and a **staff recommendation of denial**, adding conditions (match Winston's aesthetic, bike/pedestrian access, restrict land to data-center use only). Residents cited proximity to an elementary school and a public park — "They're gambling with our lives and with the lives of the kids." Local reporting notes the commission approved Winston-area data centers twice in one year "by a single vote," both times overruling staff.

Key data: Approved 2025-02-04 over staff denial recommendation; conditions imposed; approvals by a single vote

RATEPAYER OR GRID IMPACT

Georgia Power / PSC (Docket 44280 and related)

statewide

Georgia's PSC has built an explicit ratepayer-protection track: **April 2024** order requiring that data-center revenue **reduce, not increase, residential bills**, with quarterly data-center reports and cost-allocation studies ensuring data centers pay total costs; **January 2025** rule allowing minimum billing requirements and longer contract terms for new large loads (so departing data centers still pay for infrastructure) and requiring all new data-center contracts be filed with the PSC **at least 30 days before execution**; **April 2025** price-structure changes for large loads. Load forecasts moved from 400 MW (2022) to 6,600 MW (2023) to 8,500 MW, and on **December 19, 2025** the Commission certified **9,985 MW** of new generation, ~**80%** of it expected to serve data centers, against Georgia Power's current 22,000 MW statewide deployment.

Key data: 9,985 MW certified 2025-12-19, ~80% for data centers; 30-day pre-execution contract filing rule (Jan 2025)

CUMULATIVE REGIONAL IMPACT

CUMULATIVE — ATL089, ATL2, Meta and neighbors

Newton (Covington)

Newton County substituted a moratorium for a cumulative study: after an emergency moratorium on Feb 17, 2026 (to Mar 18), revised Mar 3 (to Apr 8), the Board adopted Resolution **R-040726b** on **April 7, 2026** barring acceptance of all data-center applications (rezoning, SUP/CUP, development permits, site plans, building permits, land-disturbing approvals) until **October 7, 2026**, to allow time to study and adopt a data-center ordinance, finding that such development threatens the County's ability to provide adequate "water, utilities, and services." Context: reporting links a Meta data center to failing private wells and sediment in taps, and the county is described as "on track to run out of water by 2030."

Research and local discovery

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

This state page combines mapped locations with permits, planning and zoning activity, infrastructure context, operators and civic records. The deeper corpus is supplemented by 7 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.
