Data Center Runs Unchecked for 15 Years

An Indianapolis data center operated for 15 years without air permits for its backup diesel generators—only applying for one in 2025—with minimal consequences expected. This regulatory gap, combined with no routine inspections, allowed unchecked emissions and raised alarms about how Indiana is overseeing the booming data center industry. The owner also runs a similar facility in Fort Wayne, caught off-guard by a 2024 inspection, revealing no prior compliance records. Environmental advocates fear this is just the tip of the iceberg, warning that unchecked industrial growth could harm air quality and community health unless stricter oversight is enforced.
