保護行動動態

查塔胡奇河護水者（美國佐治亞州）已向拉格朗日市市長阿靈頓及市議會提出請求，要求暫停數據中心開發90天。此次暫停將為該市制定一項指導未來數據中心開發的條例留出時間。查塔胡奇河護水者（CRK）簽署了一封信函，稱這一請求是民選官員與積極主動的社區建立聯系的合理且謹慎的舉措。數據中心項目的需求遠超普通經濟發展項目。目前，佐治亞州社區事務部正修訂《區域影響開發項目申請與審核流程》相關規定，將數據中心列為一類特殊開發項目進行規范。

康加里河護水者（美國南卡羅來納州）已向兩家大型塑料制造企業發送告知函，稱若這兩家企業未能解決其對康加里河的持續污染問題，護水者將向聯邦法院提起訴訟。這兩家企業分別是阿爾佩克聚酯公司（Alpek Polyester）和伊士曼化學公司（Eastman Chemical），它們在康加里國家公園附近的康加里河沿岸運營著一座大型工業工廠。函件顯示，該工廠存在多種非法污染行為：向康加里河排放大量塑料顆粒（俗稱“塑料米”）；未經許可排放有毒化學物質1,4-二噁烷；以及違反旨在保護水生生物的排污許可證中規定的污染限值。

哈得孫河護水者（美國紐約州）近期發布新聞稿，重點提及哈得孫河下游正擴散的有害藻華（HABs）。新聞稿指出，此次藻華可能是當地有記錄以來河口區域規模最大的一次有害藻華事件。有害藻華會產生對人類和動物健康均有害的毒素，因此官方已發出警示，提醒公眾避免接觸受污染水體。哈得孫河護水者表示，此類藻華災害日益嚴重的原因在于氣候變化——氣候變暖為藻華生長創造了適宜條件。

密爾沃基河護水者（美國威斯康星州）正起訴拉辛市，指控該市官員隱瞞了某規劃中微軟數據中心的預計用水量相關信息。六個多月前，該組織提交了一份公開記錄申請，希望獲取芒特普萊森特園區數據中心的用水量信息，但至今未收到回應。微軟計劃將芒特普萊森特1900英畝農田改造為新的人工智能（AI）數據中心，并將使用五大湖地區的淡水資源為其超大規模數據中心降溫。密爾沃基河護水者的謝麗爾·內恩（Cheryl Nenn）在新聞稿中表示，這些數據中心將對威斯康星州的生態環境產生重大影響。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) has requested that LaGrange Mayor Arrington and the city council enact a 90-day moratorium on data center development. This pause would allow the city to create an ordinance that will guide future data center developments. CRK signed a letter stating that this request is a reasonable and cautious step that elected officials can take to engage with an active and motivated community. Data centers require more than just typical economic development projects. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs is currently revising the rules governing the Developments of Regional Impact application and review process to address data centers as a distinct type of development.

Congaree Riverkeeper (South Carolina, U.S.) sent notice letters to two major plastic manufacturing companies, informing them of an intend to sue in federal court if they fail to address their ongoing pollution of the Congaree River. The two companies, Alpek Polyester and Eastman Chemical, operate a large industrial plant on the banks of the Congaree River near Congaree National Park. According to the letter, the plant is engaged in multiple forms of illegal pollution: releasing large numbers of plastic pellets—known as "nurdles"—into the Congaree River; discharging the toxic chemical 1,4-dioxane without authorization; and violating pollution limits in its discharge permit designed to protect aquatic life.

Hudson Riverkeeper (New York, U.S.) recently issued a press release highlighting the harmful algal blooms (HABs) moving down the Hudson River. According to the release, this may be the most extensive HAB in the estuary in living memory. HABs can produce toxins that are harmful to the health of both people and animals, prompting warnings against contact with the contaminated water. Hudson Riverkeeper states that the increasing severity of these blooms is due to climate change, creating the optimal conditions for their growth.

Milwaukee Riverkeeper (Wisconsin, U.S.) is suing the City of Racine, alleging that officials have withheld information regarding the projected water usage of a planned Microsoft data center. Over six months ago, the organization submitted an open records request seeking information on the water consumption for the Mount Pleasant facility, but has yet to receive a response. Microsoft plans to transform 1,900 acres of Mount Pleasant farmland into a new AI data center, using freshwater resources from the Great Lakes region to cool its hyperscale data centers. Cheryl Nenn, Milwaukee Riverkeeper, stated in a press release that these data centers will have significant implications for Wisconsin’s environment.
