I am writing in opposition to the APG-578 guidance. I find it unacceptable for a department specifically titled "Environmental Quality" to be making decisions that negatively impact the environment, unless "Quality" is meant as a neutral term here. Data centers should not be allowed to run diesel generators when it isn't an emergency, especially since there are alternatives like renting mobile Tier IV gas generators with stronger pollution controls and retrofitting existing generators with pollution controls like SCR (selective catalytic reduction). DEQ’s proposal would make it easier for companies to be cheap and soulless by allowing them to choose the heavier polluting option and pushing the health costs onto us, the nearby communities. Essentially, people who don't even live here are happily sacrificing our health and the life in and appearance of our local environment. What's the point of simply encouraging companies to use cleaner options and hoping they have a conscience  when there's nothing stopping them from using the cheap, dirty options? AI and data storage are just facts of our reality, but that doesn't mean we just let data center developers steamroll us and bully us out of our neighborhoods, it doesn't make their desires more important than ours. It would be really cool if we could prioritize the environment we literally live in and listen to our neighbors over corporations, the owners and profiteers of which don't have to live anywhere near these data centers.
