Join Food & Water Watch and the Data Center Crisis Coalition of NY/NJ at the Orangetown Planning Board meeting to stop DataBank's horrendous proposal to build another data center in Orangeburg. DataBank is proposing another huge data center at its Orangeburg campus, right next to the Lake Tappan Reservoir, which serves water to tens of thousands of people and provides a natural habitat to wildlife. If approved, their campus power use will rise to 30 megawatts, enough electricity to power 30,000 homes. It’s been widely reported that the proliferation of these huge data centers has led to higher electric bills and grid instability. The construction and operation of this facility pose serious risks to a critical drinking water source. Electrical equipment failures, transformer or generator fires, fuel storage, battery systems, and fire-suppression runoff could release contaminants into nearby wetlands and the reservoir. The project would also destroy protected wetlands and wildlife habitat, including bald eagle habitat. The extraordinary concentration of high-power electrical infrastructure immediately adjacent to Lake Tappan further increases the risk that any equipment failure or fire could directly impact the surrounding watershed and drinking water supply. We can stop this if we put enough pressure on the Orangetown Planning Board to require a full environmental review of the proposal. We need to show a large display of opposition to DataBank's plans by showing up to Orangetown's Planning board meeting on Wednesday, March 25th at 7:30PM. Anyone can make a public comment.
