As we prepare for the upcoming Air & Waste Management Association (AWMA) conference, we’re pleased to share that our team will be presenting on a topic that continues to grow in importance across the industrial and technology sectors: environmental permitting challenges for data center development.
The following SCS Team Members will lead this session:
Data centers are critical infrastructure supporting today’s digital economy, yet their development often involves a complex and evolving regulatory landscape. Key considerations include air permitting for backup generators, stormwater and wastewater management requirements, and compliance with local land use and noise ordinances. Addressing these issues early—and in coordination with regulators and project stakeholders—can significantly reduce permitting risk and schedule impacts.
Our AWMA presentation will focus on practical, real-world considerations for navigating these challenges, including how early planning, thoughtful permit strategy, and proactive agency engagement can help streamline approvals and manage compliance risk. We’ll also discuss emerging trends and common permitting issues that data center developers and consultants are encountering across jurisdictions.
Following the conference, we’ll share a post-conference blog highlighting key takeaways, emerging trends, and insights from the discussion.
