No to DEQ guidelines that allow tier two generators
 

DEQ has a responsibility to protect our environment and the air that we breathe. Do not allow data center developers to pollute the air that we breathe. This will be detrimental to senior citizens, young people and people with breathing issues. It is your responsibility to protect the residents  and not the developers. You must have local meetings to discuss this before moving forward with any approvals. Prince William County is overrun with data centers. These new allowances are terrible for quality of life and life itself. Do not approve.
