Andrew D. Dehoff, P.I., SRBC Executive Director's message said the Commission has been "stepping out of character" to draw attention to the potential effects on the water resources of the basin by the fast-charging data center industry.
"The last time SRBC was similarly in the spotlight was when hydraulic fracturing moved into the basin, and we made the necessary adjustments to our regulatory framework in order to responsibly regulate an industry that we and the local communities had not seen before."
Dehoff said, "Whether it be fracking, data centers, or any other as yet unknown industry, we have the necessary technology, knowledge and structure in place to reasonably incorporate progress into the fold while protecting critical water supplies and aquatic ecosystems.
"So while we’re not used to the media attention, we’re happy to be a resource for anyone willing to give attention to the wellbeing of this great basin we have as our backyard."
