Community questions
Answers, public records, and remaining questions.
A transparent response ledger for the Nine Mile / Uintah Basin Data Center. Every entry distinguishes what a primary record answers, what is only an applicant estimate, and what has not been publicly established.
Evidence reviewed
Public-response ledger
Eight questions worth tracking.
Status labels describe the available evidence—not whether a concern is important. “Not established” means the reviewed public record does not presently provide a reliable answer.

WaterPartly answered
What water would the data center use?
County materials describe limited culinary use and a shared process-water system for cooling. The final operating volume, water-right chain, priority dates, and shortage plan are not fully established in the reviewed record.
PowerPartly answered
How would the campus be powered?
Related filings describe solar, natural-gas generation, battery storage, and grid interconnection. Binding operating priorities, construction phasing, and emergency curtailment arrangements remain open.
NoiseNot established
What will the sound level be at neighboring properties?
No project-specific acoustic model or enforceable property-line sound limit was located in the reviewed public record. Distance alone does not answer tonal, low-frequency, or generator-testing questions.
Fire and safetyNot established
What fire-suppression chemicals and emergency plans would be used?
The reviewed public materials do not provide a final chemical inventory, fire-suppression specification, emergency-response agreement, or publicly accessible incident plan.
DecommissioningNot established
Who would fund closure or site restoration?
The narrative describes a long project life, but a final decommissioning plan, financial-assurance amount, and responsible-party mechanism were not located in the reviewed public record.
Jobs and taxesApplicant estimate
How many jobs and how much tax revenue are expected?
The county findings repeat projections of roughly 200 long-term jobs and approximately $74.7 million in annual property-tax revenue. These are forecasts dependent on final buildout and assessment—not realized results.
OwnershipPartly answered
Which companies control the complete project?
Public records name Nine Mile Data, Energence Utah, Wells Draw Energy, reWater, and Elio Energy Group in different roles. The complete ownership and control relationship among them is not fully explained. An August 11 issuer announcement identifies Energence Power as sponsor/managing member and Elio Energy Development as a development-services provider in a nonbinding Energence Utah investment proposal. This does not establish a complete ownership chain or closed financing.
