Project Jupiter Dec. 7 air quality permit public hearing vacated

The Dec. 7 public hearing regarding Project Jupiter's air quality permit application has been delayed once again. After a Nov. 5 hearing, newly appointed hearing officer James O. Browning granted a Nov. 3 stipulated motion filed by Project Jupiter developers and the New Mexico Environment Department to vacate the Dec. 7 public hearing and all associated pre-hearing deadlines. There will not be a future public hearing scheduled until "the Air Quality Bureau places into the administrative record its revised recommendations, which, if the recommendation is for issuance, must include an amended Draft permit, Statement of Basis and Modeling Report," according to the order. Additionally, Project Jupiter developers waived the Nov. 23 deadline for the NMED to make a decision regarding the permit application. An email requesting comment from Project Jupiter developers and NMED was not immediately returned. Browning scheduled the public hearing on Oct. 16. According to the stipulated motion to vacate, NMED had to submit notice of the hearing to newspapers by Nov. 3 in time for the Dec. 7 hearing, but NMED needed additional time to complete its technical review of revisions developers made to the permit application in October . Developers are seeking an air quality permit

The Green Chamber's concerns about Project Jupiter | Opinion

Since our founding in 2010, the Las Cruces Green Chamber of Commerce has proudly advocated for locally owned businesses, sustainable communities, and the protection of our air, land, and water. For more than 15 years, we have promoted the economic value of local businesses and the importance of protected public lands to tourism and the regional economy. We also provide resources and connections that help businesses reduce waste and operate in ways that benefit both people and the planet. These values are why we are deeply concerned about Project Jupiter, the proposed data center development in southern New Mexico. The Green Chamber supports economic development. We recognize the importance of attracting investment, creating jobs, and expanding opportunities for local businesses. However, growth should not come at the expense of our quality of life or the already scarce natural resources that sustain our communities. Water remains one of our greatest concerns. While project developers have described plans for a closed-loop water system, southern New Mexico already faces significant water challenges. In a region where drought conditions continue to worsen, and reservoirs such as Elephant Butte remain at historically low levels, any project with substantial water demands deserves rigorous public scrutiny and
