The Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee held a work session on Friday, September 18, 2026 at 9:00 AM at 8220 Loop Road. Under old business the agenda lists proposed noise ordinance wording from outside consultants, described as awaiting changes; a data center concerns list progress update; and the Battery Energy Storage System ordinance. Under new business it lists a continuation of the electricity discussion and a new topic, generators and turbines. The agenda states the next meeting will continue the electricity discussion. No applicant, named project, or Community Benefit Agreement action appears on this agenda. This is the newest item on the data-center-information page and remains unpromoted (the tracked fingerprint still sits at July 31, 2026).

The presentation deck accompanying the September 18, 2026 meeting sets out the committee's recommendations on on-site backup generation. It recommends allowing only natural gas or bi-fuel generators for emergency backup power, on the stated grounds that these are the two quietest options, eliminate or greatly reduce on-site diesel storage, produce far fewer greenhouse gas, carbon and soot emissions than diesel, and avoid the high-pitched whine of turbines; an immediate shutdown trigger if bi-fuel units fall below 70 percent natural gas utilization during a test; that generators be allowed only for backup power during an outage with no behind-the-meter use of generators or turbines; that a full environmental impact study addressing noise and environmental issues precede any approval; that scheduled inspections by a certified third party be required; that testing be confined to specified weekday daytime hours with caps on units tested at once and on annual testing hours; that a separate decommissioning bond be posted for generator farms; and that generator farms be defined as a special use requiring separate review and permit. The deck also records the division of authority: the town has no say in power delivery or rates, NYISO operates the high-voltage grid and sets supply charges while the PSC sets delivery charges and service classifications, and while DEC regulates generator emissions, fuel types and fuel storage, the town can regulate generator size, operating hours outside emergencies, setbacks and noise through code and can designate on-site or behind-the-meter generation above a threshold (the deck suggests 5 MW) as a separate or prohibited land use. These are committee recommendations presented at a work session, not adopted town code. Unpromoted.

The September 18 deck works through backup-generation sizing for what it calls a '270 MW Data Center'; the deck does not say whether 270 MW is requested interconnection capacity, service capacity, or critical IT load. Its table, whose unit counts are labeled as calculated, gives with redundancy roughly 78 to 93 diesel units at 3.25 to 4 MW each, 64 to 118 natural gas units at 2.5 to 5 MW, and 78 bi-fuel units at 4 MW. For natural gas turbines at 34 to 50 MW each, the table lists 5 to 8 calculated units plus 1 redundant unit, but prints the total as 35 to 51; that total does not follow from the table's own columns (5 to 8 plus 1 would be 6 to 9), and the deck's noise table separately uses 58 turbine units, so the turbine totals are internally inconsistent in the source and should not be relied on. On fuel, the deck states that standard industrial backup generators use about 70 gallons of diesel per hour per megawatt, giving about 450,000 gallons for a 24-hour outage at 270 MW and 900,000 gallons for the 48-hour supply it calls industry standard, reduced by about two thirds for bi-fuel to 157,500 and 315,000 gallons. Its noise table estimates property-line levels at a 400-foot setback without mitigation of 73 dBA diesel, 68 natural gas, 69 bi-fuel and 75 turbine, with the deck's caveat that these are dBA only and that dBC levels need further research. All figures are the committee's own calculations against a hypothetical load, not a developer submission, permit application, or measurement. Unpromoted; revised from the 2026-09-22 draft after the critic hold on the turbine row.

The Empire State Development Community Investment Framework, the deliverable Executive Order 62 required within 60 days, is published and complete. The page offers three documents: CIF Guidance, a CIF Template, and a CIF Template Example prepared for a hypothetical Town of Empire. It sets a recommended community investment benchmark of one million dollars for every megawatt of utility demand associated with a data center project, and organizes commitments under four pillars: establishing good neighbor commitments, enforcing workforce and labor standards, standardizing transparency and accountability, and specifying targeted investments. The framework is a voluntary negotiating tool for local governments and developers rather than a binding requirement. The page itself carries no publication date. Re-verified this pass via WebFetch (direct curl returned HTTP 403) and unchanged; it remains unpromoted, with promoted.json still recording only the earlier outline-only state.

The Commission order that created Case 26-E-0045 was issued and effective February 12, 2026, instituting the proceeding to address large-load interconnection reform. Two forward deadlines appear in its ordering clauses that are absent from the DPS event page tracked so far: Department of Public Service staff shall convene at least one public technical conference before December 31, 2026, and shall prepare a whitepaper addressing the interconnection and related issues considered in the proceeding within one year of the order's issuance, that is by February 12, 2027. The order's own comment dates were April 13, 2026 for initial comments and May 13, 2026 for replies; the tracked event page shows those subsequently extended to May 13 and June 15, 2026, so the extended dates govern the comment phase while the conference and whitepaper deadlines stand as ordered.

The same February 12, 2026 order states the scale figure behind the proceeding: as of February 2026, 11.9 gigawatts of load within the New York Independent System Operator interconnection queue were attributed to future large-load projects, and in 2025 alone more than 8.3 gigawatts of new load entered the NYISO queue. The order presents these as the emerging challenge motivating interconnection reform. These are statewide queue figures for large loads generally, not a count of data centers and not specific to any Central New York project, and they should not be combined with any site-level megawatt figure.

Empire State Development's Community Investment Framework for data center development is published and complete. The page carries three documents: CIF Guidance, a CIF Template, and a CIF Template Example presented as a Town of Empire worked example. The page states that Executive Order No. 62 established a first-in-the-nation moratorium on data center development and directed Empire State Development to formulate the Community Investment Framework. This supersedes the earlier state in which only a policy outline was available and the completed framework was pending. The page itself carries no publication date for the three documents.

new-york-executive-order-62

The published framework sets a recommended benchmark for community investment. The Empire State Development page states that the voluntary Framework establishes a recommended community investment benchmark of $1 million for every megawatt of utility demand associated with a data center project. The framework is described as voluntary, and the benchmark is a reference point rather than a requirement. Applying it to any particular project would be a calculation, not a figure the framework itself states.

Empire State Development's Community Investment Framework for data center development, the deliverable Executive Order No. 62 directed ESD to publish within 60 days, is live and complete. The ESD page carries three documents: a CIF Guidance document, a CIF negotiation Template, and a worked 'Town of Empire' example. This moves the deliverable past the earlier outline-only, framework-pending state. The page itself carries no publication dates for the three documents.

The published framework sets a recommended community investment benchmark of $1 million for every megawatt of a data center project's utility demand, characterized as a voluntary tool to help host communities negotiate long-term investments proportional to project scale. It is organized around four pillars: Good Neighbor Commitments, Workforce & Labor Standards, Standardized Transparency & Accountability, and Targeted Investments. The figure now appears in a published state framework rather than a policy outline.

new-york-executive-order-62

Empire State Development has published the completed Host Community Investment Framework for Data Center Development, the deliverable Executive Order No. 62 directed it to issue within 60 days. The framework consists of three items on ESD's Community Investment Framework page: a guidance document titled 'New York State Guidance for Host Communities: Implementing the Community Investment Framework for Data Center Development', a fillable framework template, and a completed worked example. The July 14, 2026 Policy Outline that previously occupied this page has been removed from it. The guidance describes the framework as voluntary, states that municipalities are 'encouraged to utilize or modify the CIF as they see fit', and states that it is up to municipalities to decide, with the advice of counsel, whether to make the framework binding; it also states that the framework is not intended to serve as a comprehensive agreement between a host community and the data center parties. Neither the page nor either document carries a printed publication date. The date given here is taken from the template example's embedded PDF creation timestamp of September 14, 2026 (the guidance document's is September 11, 2026); the preceding check of this same page on September 14, 2026 at 07:04 UTC found only the Policy Outline, which places publication within roughly the preceding day and is consistent with both the 60-day deadline of on or about September 12, 2026 and ESD's previously stated intent to release by mid-September.

new-york-executive-order-62

The $1 million-per-megawatt community investment figure has moved from a recommendation in a policy outline into the published framework, and its scope is defined more narrowly there than the outline conveyed. Both the guidance document and the framework template state that the framework, pursuant to Executive Order No. 62, 'establishes a recommended community investment benchmark of $1 million-per-megawatt of utility demand to help host communities share equitably in the long-term economic value created by these projects'. The guidance adds a qualification absent from earlier records: the benchmark is 'inclusive of investments into grid modernization as required by New York State', meaning grid-modernization spending counts toward the benchmark rather than sitting alongside it. The guidance gives a worked illustration that 'a project utilizing 50MW has an associated recommended community investment level of $50M, much of which may be distributed through a Community Investment Fund'. The benchmark remains a recommendation rather than a requirement, is keyed to utility demand rather than to any measure of facility size or investment, and localities are separately encouraged to negotiate the timeline of payments into the fund. This supersedes the account of the same figure filed on 2026-09-14, which was drawn from the July 14 Policy Outline and described it as a recommendation for a framework ESD had yet to prepare; if that earlier item is still in the review queue it should be resolved against this one rather than published alongside it.

new-york-executive-order-62

The published framework template sets out the structure a host community negotiation is expected to follow, which is directly relevant to the community benefit agreement the Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee has had in draft since July 2026. The template is organised as: I Purpose; II Project Specifications (peak utility demand in megawatts, facility square footage, construction employment, full-time on-site employment, and a phased project timeline); III Community Investment Commitments, comprising A Investment Benchmark, B Good Neighbor Commitments (noise, lighting, and building design and landscaping), C Labor Commitments (prevailing wage, local hiring, project labor agreements) and D Community Investments (a Community Investment Fund with an itemised project list by investment area); IV Transparency; and V Signatures. The Transparency section specifies an annual report to the municipality for as long as the data center is fully operational, covering the number and average compensation of full-time on-site employees, annual water consumption and energy usage, peak utility demand wattage and the number of days that peak was reached during the reporting period, annual and cumulative tax revenue generated, cumulative use of local fire, emergency medical and public safety services, a summary of noise and light pollution complaints received and remedies enacted, and an accounting of funding contributed to date per investment area. The template also provides that the data center parties pay the municipality's out-of-pocket costs of negotiating and executing the framework, including the cost of counsel of the municipality's choice. IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION FOR REVIEW: the accompanying worked example is explicitly hypothetical - a fictional 'Town of Empire', operator 'DataMaximize Inc.' and developer 'Data Center Developers Incorporated', for a 100 MW project - and every figure in it, including the $100 million benchmark, the itemised allocations across infrastructure, housing, child care, public safety, workforce, anchor institutions and education, the 45 dBA one-hour operational sound limit, the 75 percent New York State construction hiring and 50 percent local permanent hiring levels, and the 180-day funding deadline, is illustrative drafting guidance. None of it is a state requirement and none of it should be presented as a figure any actual project must meet.

oak-orchard-final-spdes-permit-ny0030317

The Oak Orchard SPDES permit (NY0030317, Onondaga County, DEC number 7-3124-00018/00001) is a renewal and modification effective May 1, 2026 and expiring April 30, 2031. It structures the plant's expansion in four phases whose transitions are triggered by DEC acceptance of construction completion rather than by calendar date: Phase 1 maintains existing plant operations; Phase 2 begins on acceptance of the first portion of the industrial treatment train; Phase 3 begins on acceptance of the upgraded municipal treatment train; Phase 4 begins on acceptance of the second portion. The modification creates two new internal outfalls, 01A for the municipal treatment train and 01B for the industrial treatment train, and raises the municipal train's monthly average flow limit from 10 MGD to 14.3 MGD while setting a 16.5 MGD monthly average flow limit for the industrial train. The permit states that during Phase 2 the industrial train's design flow will be 8.25 MGD and the municipal train's will remain 13.3 MGD, for a combined Phase 2 effluent rate of 21.6 MGD, against an existing 10.0 MGD facility. Two reuse outfalls are established, 006 for municipal treatment train effluent reuse and 007 for industrial treatment train effluent reuse, with reuse flow monitoring becoming effective on DEC acceptance of construction completion. A dedicated emerging-contaminants section sets levels and monitoring for a long list of perfluorinated compounds including PFOA, PFOS, PFBS, PFHxA, PFNA and related acids. The modification also removes a set of prior requirements at Outfall 001, including fecal coliform, pH, settleable solids and TSS monitoring and action levels for total recoverable iron, chloroform, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, zinc and arsenic and total phenols, transferring or replacing them at the new internal outfalls.

The text of Lysander Local Law No. 4 of 2026 uses two different triggers, which prior records on this source had collapsed into one. Section VIII provides that the law takes effect upon filing with the Secretary of State and 'shall remain in force and effect for a period of 6 months from its effective date', so the six-month duration runs from the Secretary of State filing. Section III separately provides that the law 'applies to all applications for Data Storage Facilities filed with the Town after adoption', keying applicability to adoption instead. The duration therefore runs from filing while the scope of application runs from adoption, and the two dates need not coincide. The document as posted still bears no adoption date and no Secretary of State filing date on its face, so the expiry of the pause remains underivable from this document alone. The law also bars any Town board, including the Town Board, Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, from accepting applications for Data Storage Facilities during the period; suspends Section 276 of the Town Law and the Zoning Board of Appeals' Section 267-b jurisdiction to grant relief from it; reserves to the Town Board alone the power to vary the law after a public hearing on a $100 application, with any relief granted by amendment; and sets a penalty of $1,000 per day of violation.

The Empire State Development Community Investment Framework Policy Outline dated July 14, 2026, issued under Executive Order No. 62, recommends a minimum contribution threshold for data center operators of $1 million per 1 megawatt of anticipated utility demand per project, expressed as dollars invested per megawatt of demand and described as a recommended level intended to give local governments and developers a consistent basis for negotiation. The outline states that ESD 'shall prepare a Community Investment Framework template' containing Good Neighbor Commitments (landscaping, design, and mitigation of noise and light pollution), Labor Commitments (prevailing wage standards, project labor agreements, local hiring, apprenticeships and workforce development), and a Community Investment Fund whose eligible investments may include public infrastructure such as parks, water and sewer upgrades, roads, energy transmission, transit, water treatment plants and EV charging. This is the policy outline, not the completed framework: as of September 14, 2026 the ESD page still carries only this July 14 document and the statement that the completed framework 'will be released by mid-September', and the order's 60-day deadline for posting the framework passed on or about September 12, 2026.

The Town of Lysander data center information page now carries a posting dated September 10, 2026, titled 'Data Center Committee Agenda 9-11-26', linking a single PDF at /sites/default/files/2026-09/dcac_agenda09-11-26.pdf and listed at 145.39 KB. It is the first September 2026 Data Center Advisory Committee document on the page, and it follows the page's own preceding September item, a September 3, 2026 notice reading 'The 9-4-26 Data Center Advisory Committee Meeting is cancelled.' Taken together the two postings establish that the committee's fortnightly Friday cadence was interrupted for one sitting and then resumed a week later rather than a fortnight later. One difference in the posting's form is worth recording: each of the four August postings on this page attaches a dated topic presentation alongside its agenda, the August 7 and August 14 postings sharing lysander_dc_committee_waste_water_8-07-26-26.pdf, the August 21 posting attaching lysander_dc_committee_waste_water_8-21-26.pdf and the August 28 posting attaching lysander_dc_committee_electricity_usage_8-28-26.pdf, whereas the September 10 posting attaches the agenda alone. No minutes for any Data Center Advisory Committee meeting were located on this page as of this retrieval; every committee item on it is an agenda or a presentation.

The agenda for the September 11, 2026 Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee work session, held at 8220 Loop Road at 9:00 AM, records three matters that were not on any earlier published committee agenda. Under Old Business it lists 'DEC feedback on wastewater, generators, and SEQR', which establishes that the committee has received or expects input from the state environmental agency on those three subjects; the agenda does not reproduce that feedback, date it, or say in what form it was given. Also under Old Business it lists 'Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Ordinance Update', placing battery storage on the data center committee's own agenda rather than only on the Town Board's. The third is the Old Business item 'Proposed Noise Ordinance Wording from outside consultants - awaiting changes', a third distinct wording for this engagement across three agendas: 'Pending response from vendor' on August 14, 'pending' on August 28, and 'awaiting changes' here, which indicates draft language has now been received and is being revised rather than still awaited. The remaining Old Business item is a Data Center Concerns List Progress Update. Under New Business the agenda lists 'Continue Electricity Discussion', and the Next Meeting item also reads 'Continue Electricity Discussion', so the electricity phase opened on August 28 was scheduled to run past this sitting as well. The agenda closes with a Committee Comments/Feedback item. Reading an agenda establishes what was scheduled, not what was decided.

The September 11, 2026 Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee agenda adds small modular reactors to the committee's scope and, in doing so, asserts three propositions it does not source. Its second New Business item reads "SMR's and MMR's (There are No Plans for this to the best of our knowledge, and none are currently approved for use by the state of New York, but we should update our town code for this emerging technology just in case some future project requests one)". The claim that no such reactors are currently approved for use in New York State is a statement by a town advisory committee with no underlying document cited, and the committee's own hedge, 'to the best of our knowledge', applies to its separate claim that no plans exist. The third element, that the town should update its code for the technology in advance of any application, is the committee's stated intention rather than an action taken; the agenda records no draft code language, no timetable and no vote. This is the first appearance of nuclear generation in the committee's published record, and it follows the committee's move into its electricity phase. The approval-status claim should be checked against the state's own record before being repeated as fact.

The agenda for the August 14, 2026 Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee work session, held at 8220 Loop Road at 9:00 AM, records two matters that do not appear elsewhere in the town's published account of the committee's work. Under Old Business it lists 'Proposed Noise Ordinance Wording from outside consultants - Pending response from vendor', which establishes that the committee had solicited draft noise-ordinance language from an outside vendor and was still waiting on it as of that date. The agenda does not name the vendor, state when the engagement began, or say who is paying for it. Under New Business it lists 'CNY Solidarity Data Center Meeting Recap', establishing that the committee set aside time to report back on a meeting convened by an outside group; the agenda gives no account of what was discussed there and no minutes of this committee meeting exist on the town site. The remaining items are a Water Usage Discussion under Old Business, a Data Center Concerns List Progress Update, and 'Begin Waste Water Discussion', with the Next Meeting item reading 'Continue Waste Water Discussion'.

town-of-lysander-official-records

The agenda for the August 28, 2026 Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee work session, held at 8220 Loop Road at 9:00 AM, marks the point at which the committee moved from wastewater to electricity. Under New Business it lists, in order, 'Shared Drive for Documents', 'Data Center Concerns List Progress Update', 'Formalize Waste Water Recommendations' and 'Begin Electricity Usage Discussion', and the Next Meeting item reads 'Continue Electricity Usage Discussion'. The wastewater phase was therefore scheduled to close and the electricity phase to open at the same sitting. Under Old Business the noise ordinance item has been shortened to 'Proposed Noise Ordinance Wording from outside consultants - pending', dropping the 'Pending response from vendor' wording carried two weeks earlier on the August 14 agenda; the agenda does not say whether anything changed in that engagement. The next meeting the agenda anticipates would have been September 4, 2026, which the town later announced as cancelled.

The Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee's August 21, 2026 wastewater deck sets out the committee's own priority ratings and the monitoring regime it is working toward. It reports ratings drawn from the committee's concerns spreadsheet with water at an overall priority of 2.5, broken into water pollution including PFAs at 2.5, water usage at 2.7, residential water pressure at 2.1, ground water levels at 1.8, who pays for infrastructure upgrades at 3.0, and wastewater handling and treatment at 3.0; the deck does not explain the scale or how the ratings were produced. It records that stormwater runoff was added as a discussion item the week before. On substance it treats a true closed-loop system with no wastewater as the ideal case and states that in reality closed-loop systems drastically reduce total water consumed but most must be periodically flushed and occasionally drained for maintenance, and it notes open loop was already recommended against. It lists as wastewater concerns the volume, coolant toxicity often ethylene-glycol based, PFAs found in some immersion liquids, in fluorinated gases used in some chillers and in some fire-suppression chemicals, anti-corrosion nitrites, biocides, heavy metals leached from equipment, pH and heat. It then sets out a twenty-item monitoring list covering flow rate and total volume, temperature, pH, water hardness, total suspended solids, conductivity, nutrient levels, total organic carbon, biocide levels, dissolved oxygen, chemical and biochemical oxygen demand, chlorides and salts, heavy metals and PFAs, each with a stated reason, and argues for a public dashboard on transparency, trend monitoring, alerting and reuse of the same data for regulatory reporting. The deck states the dashboard requirement would apply to all industrial users and floats making it volume- or content-dependent, with the thresholds left as 'XXX' gallons per week and 'YYY' level of PFAs. Its Next Steps slide sets stormwater as the following topic.

town-of-lysander-official-records

The same August 21, 2026 committee deck asserts a set of background propositions about who is responsible for water and wastewater in Lysander, none of which the deck traces to an underlying document. On a slide headed 'Background' it states that the previously approved warehouse required water and sewer lines to be built out to the site, that the planning board typically requires developers to pay for any required infrastructure additions, that the town does not have its own municipal water system, that the town's wastewater treatment is handled by the county, and that existing town code covers stormwater and runoff. On a further slide it states that the county provides municipal water through OCWA and wastewater management through WEP, and that the town can mandate connection to municipal water supplies, can regulate the use of wells including limits on large-scale water withdrawals, and can during droughts mandate limits on outdoor water use including withdrawals from wells. The prior-warehouse approval and the asserted scope of the town's well and drought authority are the load-bearing claims here and neither is cited in the deck to a code section, a resolution or a prior approval record.

The Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee's August 28, 2026 deck opens, before any electricity content, with a two-slide 'Waste Water Recommendations' section that is the formalized output of the committee's wastewater phase. The recommendations are to reiterate the need for closed loop cooling systems; that the Planning Board must require a full environmental review for projects of this size or nature; that industrial users disclose any toxic chemicals used in their cooling systems and industrial processes during the environmental review process; that wastewater be treated and managed by WEP and the New York State DEC per their guidelines with no direct release to the environment; that a public-facing dashboard display current values and trends of potential wastewater pollutants including the items listed in the committee's August 21 meeting; and that used chemicals including coolants be properly recycled or disposed of per WEP, DEC and EPA guidelines. The dashboard recommendation carries an unresolved threshold, stating the requirement 'may be limited to industrial users who produce more than XXX gallons of wastewater in any given day, and those whose waste water contains PFAs above the ambient level already existing in the environment' - the placeholder is in the posted document, and the unit has shifted from the per-week basis used a week earlier to a per-day basis here. The file is named lysander_dc_committee_electricity_usage_8-28-26.pdf; the filename understates its contents, and the wastewater section was confirmed present by direct text extraction of that file this pass.

The agenda for the September 3, 2026 Lysander Town Board meeting, read in full this pass, schedules a 5:30 PM work session and a 6:30 PM regular meeting and carries twelve lettered motions, A through L. The work session items are a Gates Road speed study, the Brett Maring zone change, trooper barracks construction bids, and 'Battery Energy Storage Code' - the last placing the town's battery storage code on the board's own agenda, distinct from any data-center application. The agenda schedules adoption of the August 20, 2026 minutes and a public hearing on Clinton Heights Sewer District Extension No. 3 - Hanley. The lettered motions include forming Clinton Heights Sewer District No. 3, ordering a county and state speed and traffic study for Gates Road from Route 370 to Plainville Road, budget transfers, a special event license, and a sequence on the Maring petition for 9086 Oswego Road, Tax Map Number 024.-01-49.1, from Agricultural to General Business: declaring the Town Board lead agency for SEQR review with a stated negative declaration, referring the petition to the Lysander Planning Board, Zoning Board and Onondaga County Planning Board, and advertising an October 1, 2026 public hearing on it. Three further October 1, 2026 hearings are advertised, on the Maring zone change, on a local law overriding the General Municipal Law 3-c tax levy limit for 2027, and on the 2027 West Phoenix Fire Protection Agreement with Enterprise Fire Company No. 1 with the dollar amounts left blank. The agenda also authorizes the Supervisor to sign contract drawings for Timber Banks Phase 4 Section 10, advertises an October 15, 2026 hearing on the 2027 Preliminary Budget, and sets an October 22, 2026 special meeting at 5:00 PM to adopt the 2027 budget. No item on this agenda concerns a data storage facility application. Minutes of this meeting were not posted as of this retrieval.

responsible-data-center-development-act

A trade outlet reports a procedural posture for the Responsible Data Center Development Act that differs from the one currently recorded. In a June 15, 2026 article it states that the bill had not been sent to the Governor and that 'the legislature has until the end of the year to send it to her, and she has until the end of the year to choose whether to sign, amend or veto the bill.' The same article reports that Assemblyman Scott A. Gray and three Republican colleagues were urging a veto, quoting Gray that 'A statewide moratorium is the wrong answer to the right questions. It freezes investment, takes decisions away from the communities that should be making them,' and that Gray was promoting an alternative High Energy User Act addressing noise, water and power through regulatory standards instead. It further reports the Governor as having said data centers are 'a local decision for municipalities' and 'not a statewide approach necessarily.' None of this is a primary legislative record: the Senate and Assembly pages for A11560 and S10642 still show no dated delivery, signing, veto, chapter number or veto memo, and their status trackers show the delivery and signature checkpoints unmarked. The outlet's account and the unmarked tracker are consistent with each other, but neither establishes on its own that delivery has not occurred, and the article predates the current date by nearly three months.

town-of-lysander-official-records

The Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee has produced a written set of wastewater recommendations, posted as a slide deck on the town's Data Center Information page. The deck titled 'Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee Meeting August 28th 2026' opens with a 'Waste Water Recommendations' section listing six items in the committee's own words: 'We reiterate the need for closed loop cooling systems'; 'The Planning Board must require a full environmental review for projects of this size or nature'; 'Require that Industrial Users disclose any toxic chemicals used in their cooling systems and industrial processes during the environmental review process'; 'Require that Waste Water is treated and managed by WEP and the NY State DEC per their guidelines, with no direct release to the environment'; 'Require a public facing dashboard displaying current values and trends of potential waste water pollutants', which the deck says 'may be limited to industrial users who produce more than XXX gallons of wastewater in any given day, and those whose waste water contains PFAs above the ambient level already existing in the environment'; and 'Require the Proper Recycling or Disposal of used Chemicals, including coolants, per WEP, DEC, and EPA guidelines'. The placeholder 'XXX' appears in the posted document, so no volume threshold has been fixed. These are recommendations of an advisory committee. Nothing in the posted record shows them adopted by the Town Board, incorporated into town code, or applied to any application, and the committee's own agenda for the same meeting lists the item as 'Formalize Waste Water Recommendations' under New Business.

town-of-lysander-official-records

The same August 28, 2026 committee deck sets out the committee's reading of what the Town can and cannot regulate on electricity, and identifies specific zoning levers it believes are available. On limits, the deck states 'The town does not manage or maintain the electric grid or electricity prices in any way' and 'The town has no say in power delivery or rates', and assigns roles to other bodies: the New York Independent System Operator operates the high-voltage grid and runs wholesale markets, the New York Power Authority and companies such as Constellation Energy own generation, National Grid owns the wires and does not generate power, the Public Service Commission sets delivery charges, service classifications and demand caps, and the operator sets supply charges. On available levers, the deck states the town 'can designate that any on-site or "behind the meter" electrical power generation over a specific threshold (say 5 Meagwatts) is a separate, prohibited land use', can limit on-site generation to emergency battery storage and blackout generators, can mandate security perimeters for high-voltage generation or specialized fuel systems, may be able to restrict high-voltage transmission switchyards within the zone, and can regulate generator size, operating hours, setbacks and noise through code and influence generator type through the Planning Board SEQRA process. It cites existing town code 320-51: 'There shall be no activities which emit radioactivity dangerous to health or adversely affecting the operation of any equipment.' The deck also records that the town has an existing moratorium on Battery Energy Storage Systems and is 'actively working on updating its BESS ordinance'. The 5 MW figure is presented in the deck as an illustrative threshold, prefaced by 'say', not as a settled number. The deck records priority scores the committee has assigned from a spreadsheet, including an overall electricity priority of 2.4 and 3.0 for 'Who pays for Infrastructure upgrades?'; the scale those scores sit on is not explained in the document.

The minutes of the August 20, 2026 Lysander Town Board meeting, now posted, contain the only account in the town's published record of what the Data Center Advisory Committee has been discussing, because no committee minutes are published anywhere on the town site. Under Town Board Comments the minutes state: 'Councilor Schmitt reported on the Data Center group, and that the last discussion was focused on wastewater and noise ordinance revisions. He touched on the battery energy storage discussion, and he liked Town of Clay's ordinance, that can be used as a template.' The same section records that 'Councilor Mangan thanked the group who came in to speak about Battery Energy Storage.' No resolution concerning data storage facilities, the moratorium or the committee appears among the numbered resolutions of that meeting, which cover stop-sign local laws, personnel, piggyback contracting and a parks budget amendment. The subsequent September 3, 2026 Town Board agenda, read in full, lists 'Battery Energy Storage Code' as a work-session item and carries no data-storage-facility application, no moratorium item and no zoning amendment directed at data centers among its twelve lettered motions; its public hearings concern a sewer district extension, a zone change at 9086 Oswego Road from Agricultural to General Business, a tax-levy-limit override, a fire protection agreement and the 2027 budget.

new-york-executive-order-62

Empire State Development has published a policy outline for the Community Investment Framework that Executive Order No. 62 directs it to produce, and the outline proposes a numerical baseline for developer contributions. The document, headed 'Policy Outline for the New York State Data Center Community Investment Framework', states that under the Executive Order 'Within 60 days, ESD will post on its website a Community Investment Framework (CIF)' and describes the framework as covering Good Neighbor Commitments on landscaping, design and noise and light mitigation; Labor Commitments prioritizing prevailing wage standards, project labor agreements, local hiring and apprenticeships; a Community Investment Fund; and Transparency requirements for ongoing operator reporting on full-time on-site jobs, average salary, water and utility usage and energy demand, annual and cumulative tax revenue, construction workers used, funds invested and 'calculation of CIF investment provided in terms of dollars-invested-per-megawatt-demand'. On contribution levels it states that Empire State Development 'shall establish guidance related to contribution levels from data center operators, developed to create a minimum threshold for contributions, such as at $1 million in data center operator contribution per 1 megawatt (MW) of anticipated utility demand per project', described as 'a consistent starting point for negotiations' with final levels tailored to each host community. A table applies the ratio across eight rows from 50 MW at $50,000,000 to 400 MW at $400,000,000. The outline closes by inviting public feedback 'Over the next 30 days' to [email protected]. The document carries no printed date on its face; the file it was downloaded from is named CIF-Policy-Outline-071426.pdf, and it refers to the Executive Order issued July 14, 2026.

The order that created PSC Case 26-E-0045 sets procedural milestones that run well past the comment deadlines the tracked Department of Public Service event page displays. The Order Instituting Proceeding and Soliciting Comments was issued and effective February 12, 2026, at a session held in Albany that day, and its text was downloaded and read in full this pass. Ordering Clause 1 states that the proceeding is instituted 'to execute the Energize NY Development initiative.' Ordering Clause 2 set initial comments on the questions in the order's appendix for April 13, 2026 and reply comments for May 13, 2026, the deadlines later extended by the revised notice to May 13 and June 15, 2026. Ordering Clause 3 directs that 'Department of Public Service staff shall convene at least one public technical conference before December 31, 2026'. Ordering Clause 4 directs that staff 'shall prepare a whitepaper addressing the interconnection and related issues considered in this proceeding within one year of the issuance of this Order', that the whitepaper 'shall be informed by the technical conference in Ordering Clause 3, address the comments received in the responses to Ordering Clause 2, be subject to public notice and comment, and contain recommendations for the Commission's consideration.' Ordering Clause 5 provides that 'In the Secretary's sole discretion, the deadlines set forth in this Order may be extended', on a written request stating a justification and filed at least three days before the affected deadline. Three limits. The order fixes the whitepaper obligation as a period, one year from issuance, and prints no calendar date for it; deriving a date from the February 12, 2026 issuance would be a calculation rather than a reading of the record, and is not offered here. The technical conference is stated only as a deadline, before December 31, 2026, with no scheduled date, and no notice scheduling it was located this pass. And Ordering Clause 5 means every date in the order is extendable at the Secretary's discretion, which is not a hypothetical in this proceeding: the comment deadlines have already been extended once.

Executive Order No. 62 carries an 'Interconnection, Reliability, and Cost Allocation' section with two deadlines and a directive to transmission owners that the site's current account of the order does not record. Its text, retrieved and read in full this pass, states: 'DPS is directed within sixty days to form a Data Center Interconnection Working Group to identify and resolve issues related to the interconnection of data centers, and other large loads, in order to support efficient interconnection of large new customers and the faithful compliance of "beneficiary pays" principles as related to network upgrade and resource adequacy costs.' The same section states: 'DPS is directed to convene the State's transmission owners to review their practices and methodologies for studying the system impacts of data centers, and other large loads in order to understand their sufficiency for the purpose of estimating and managing cost impacts, both as they relate to network upgrades and to supply.' It then states: 'DPS is directed to report to the Commission within ninety days.' The section closes by noting that data centers 'may also be subject to service classifications and requirements pertaining to data centers to be developed by DPS and as may be established by the Public Service Commission in the exercise of its discretion.' Four limits. The order states both obligations as periods, sixty days and ninety days, and prints no calendar dates; converting them would be a calculation, not a reading of the record, and none is offered here. The ninety-day report is a report to the Commission on the matters in this section and is a distinct instrument from the Generic Environmental Impact Statement report the order requires elsewhere, from the Empire State Development Community Investment Framework, and from the twelve-month Department of Environmental Conservation water report. No document evidencing formation of the Working Group, no membership list and no ninety-day report was located this pass, which does not establish that none exists. And the service-classification sentence is permissive on its face, describing what may be developed and what the Commission may establish in its discretion, not a requirement that any classification be adopted.

Executive Order No. 62 contains a separate water directive aimed at the adequacy of the state's water-withdrawal program rather than at any individual permit. Its 'Data Center Water Withdrawal Review and Report' section states that the Department of Environmental Conservation 'shall assess whether any new or amended regulations, policies, reporting, or guidance is necessary or appropriate to help ensure its water withdrawal program requirements, pursuant to 6 NYCRR Parts 601 and 602, accurately and completely reflect the water demands of large use customers in the State, including data centers.' It further states: 'No later than twelve months after the date of this order, DEC shall deliver a report setting forth the results of such assessment and an identification of the potential regulatory, policy, and guidance actions that are necessary or appropriate to address the concerns associated with the siting and operation of data centers in the State.' Three limits worth keeping on the page. This is a review of whether the withdrawal program's requirements capture large-use demand, together with a report identifying potential actions; it is not itself a regulation, a reporting requirement or a change to any permitted withdrawal volume, and nothing in it alters an existing water-withdrawal permit. The deadline is stated as a period, twelve months from the date of the order, with no calendar date printed. And the order does not say who receives the report or that it will be published, so whether it becomes a public record is not established by this text.

Executive Order No. 62 defines the facilities it reaches, and the definition both narrows and expressly excludes categories the site's account of the 50 MW threshold does not currently carry. The order defines a data center as 'a facility or group of facilities located on the same site or contiguous sites used to house computer servers, associated components, or computing or telecommunications equipment for the storage, processing, distribution, and / or management of data.' It then lists three characteristics a covered facility's equipment has: that it is '(1) in facilities containing uninterruptible power supply systems, specialized cooling systems designed for high-density computing loads, and / or contain cybersecurity systems designed for secure digital infrastructure operations, (2) provide data storage, cloud computing, and/or content delivery to customers, internal operations, and/or affiliated business operations, oftentimes on a continuous twenty-four-hour cycle, and (3) consume or can consume 50 megawatts of energy or more.' The order then carves out categories: 'Provided, however, that a facility that is primarily used for manufacturing, research (including but not limited to quantum computing research or biomedical research), education (including but not limited to such facilities used by accredited colleges and universities in New York State, to the extent such colleges and universities are engaging in academic research, and the Empire AI consortium, or the institute, as defined in section three hundred sixty-one of the Economic Development Law), or the provision of medical care, is not covered by this definition and thus not subject to this Executive Order.' Three points of discipline. The 50 MW figure is a consumption threshold, stated as energy the facility consumes or can consume; it is not a requested interconnection capacity, a service capacity, a critical IT load or a metered load, and it should not be set alongside figures of those other kinds as though they were comparable. The exclusion is drawn by primary use, and the order names no facility as excluded or included, so the order's text alone does not classify any particular project. And the exclusion is written on the definition, meaning an excluded facility is outside the order entirely rather than merely outside the permitting abeyance.

Executive Order No. 62 recites a figure for pending data-center demand in the interconnection queue that the site does not currently carry. The order's recitals state: 'as of May 2026, nearly 12 gigawatts (12,000 megawatts) of data center load requests are in the New York Independent System Operator interconnection queue with more than eight gigawatts entering the queue in 2025 alone, representing accelerating demand growth and a need for action.' A second recital states the state policy the order rests on: 'it is the policy of New York State that the cost of electric system upgrades required to provide electric utility service to large loads should not be paid for by every-day New Yorkers.' A third records that 'Energize NY Development, announced in the 2026 State of the State, directs the Public Service Commission to modernize how large energy consumers, including data centers, connect to the grid, while ensuring those consumers pay their fair share or supply their own power', which ties the order's naming of Case 26-E-0045 to that initiative. What is verified here is that the order states these things. On the queue figure specifically, three cautions belong on the page. It is a count of load requests in an interconnection queue, which is requested interconnection capacity and not service capacity, not operating load, not critical IT load and not metered load; queue entries are withdrawn as well as advanced, so the figure does not establish that 12 gigawatts of data-center load will be built or served. It is stated as of May 2026 and the order cites no underlying queue report, so the composition of the figure and any later revision of it were not located in the reviewed record. And the figure is statewide, so it cannot be attributed to any project, site or region, and must not be combined with Micron demand or with any individual project's figures.

The Assembly's own record for A11560 supplies the bill's scope and its threshold, and shows a legislative history that stops at June 4, 2026. The Assembly page states the bill 'Places a one year moratorium on the issuance of data center permits; requires utilities to establish an independent classification of service for large data centers; sets energy efficiency goals for data centers; provides for benefits for host communities; sets labor standards for the construction of data centers', and sets the threshold for a large data center at 'twenty megawatts or more'. Its action list runs 06/01/2026 referred to ways and means; 06/03/2026 reported, reported referred to rules, rules report cal.468, ordered to third reading rules cal.468; and 06/04/2026 passed assembly, delivered to senate, referred to rules, substituted for S10642, third reading cal.1787, passed senate, returned to assembly. The Senate page for S10642 shows the same substitution and ends at the same point. Four limits, and they matter. The Assembly action list contains no delivery-to-Governor entry, no signing and no veto, and shows no chapter number or veto memo; the Senate page for A11560 displays a 'Delivered to Governor' status indicator with the governor-signature step shown incomplete, but no dated action line corresponding to that delivery was located in either chamber's record. So as of this retrieval the bill's disposition is not established by the legislative record beyond having passed both houses, and no date on which the Governor's period to act began was located. The bill's twenty-megawatt threshold is lower than the fifty-megawatt threshold in Executive Order No. 62 and applies to a different mechanism, a moratorium on issuance of permits for one year as against the order's abeyance of incomplete Department of Environmental Conservation applications pending a Generic Environmental Impact Statement; the two must not be merged into a single threshold or a single moratorium. The bill's threshold as read here is the summary's phrase, not the operative definition read in the bill text, which was not retrieved this pass. And the vote figures on the Senate page, 43 ayes, 17 nays, 1 absent and 2 excused, differ from tallies of 44 to 16 in the Senate and 102 to 39 in the Assembly that circulate in law-firm commentary; the Assembly page returned no tallies to this retrieval, so the Assembly vote is not established here and the discrepancy is left open rather than resolved.

lysander-town-board-minutes

The Town of Lysander board-meetings archive has extended into September 2026, and none of the September business concerns data storage facilities. Three September meetings are posted. A Planning Board meeting on Thursday, September 10, 2026 at 7:00 p.m., whose agenda was read directly, continues an August 13, 2026 public hearing on a major subdivision, Case No. 2026-001, Landmark Challenger, Melvin Farms on Hayes Road, and on a multi-family site plan review, Case No. 2023-008, Longview at Radisson on Longview Terrace and River Road; carries those two items plus a controlled site use, Case No. 2026-005, Landmark Challenger, Melvin Farms Phase 2 Lots 1 and 3, as old business; a minor subdivision, Case No. 2026-007, Edward Coulter at 769 Sprague Road, as new business; a zone change recommendation to the Town Board for Brett Maring and Maring Properties at 9086 Oswego Road from Agricultural to General Business; and a controlled site use for Zachary Butler at 2464 Lamson Road for information only. It states the next regular Planning Board meeting is Thursday, October 8, 2026. A Zoning Board of Appeals special meeting on Monday, September 14, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., whose agenda was also read directly, carries one substantive item, a zone change recommendation to the Town Board for Leo Duger at 8075 Plainville Road, plus review of the July 6, 2026 special meeting minutes. A Town Board meeting on September 3, 2026 is posted with an agenda and extra documents whose link titles cover a sewer district extension plan and report, Hanley sewer main extension contract drawings and an order approving that extension, a September budget transfer, a special event license, a zone change procedure and application, a Maring properties document and a Clinton Heights SEQRA resolution; that agenda's body was not read this pass, so its contents are described here only by the archive's link titles. Also posted are an August 31, 2026 Town Board special meeting whose only extra document is a draft bond resolution and August 20, 2026 Town Board minutes. Three limits. Reading agendas establishes what was scheduled, not what was decided, and no minutes for any September 2026 meeting are posted. The absence of a data-storage-facility item is what the moratorium would predict, since Local Law No. 4 bars the Town Board, Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals from accepting such applications while it is in force, so this is not evidence that interest in the site has lapsed. And no agenda item proposing to amend, extend or replace Local Law No. 4 appears on any of these September agendas, which does not establish that none is being prepared.

The document linked from ESD's Community Investment Framework page as the Policy Outline was downloaded and its full text extracted this pass. It is titled 'Policy Outline for the New York State Data Center Community Investment Framework'. It opens by stating that in Executive Order No. 62 the Governor directed ESD to assist localities in analyzing and attaining economic benefits and mitigating potential negative effects of hosting a data center, and that 'Within 60 days, ESD will post on its website a Community Investment Framework (CIF).' It defines a CIF as a document that includes an example of a structured policy or agreement establishing how the developer will invest in and partner with the host community and workforce. It states that ESD 'shall prepare a Community Investment Framework template' covering four elements: Good Neighbor Commitments (landscaping, design, and mitigation of noise and light pollution); Labor Commitments (prevailing wage standards and project labor agreements for construction, local hiring, apprenticeships, workforce development); a Community Investment Fund of mutually-agreed investments, with eligible categories listed as public infrastructure improvements, community anchor institutions, housing initiatives, workforce development and training programs, childcare facilities, broadband expansion, public safety initiatives, school facility and educational enhancements, blight remediation, and other locally identified energy affordability and community development priorities; and Transparency, in the form of codified ongoing operator reporting on full-time on-site jobs, average salary, water and utility usage and energy demand, annual and cumulative tax revenue, construction workers utilized, funding invested into the CIF and its intended uses, a calculation of CIF investment in dollars-invested-per-megawatt-demand, and environmental impacts and mitigation actions. On contribution levels the outline states: 'As a baseline for negotiations, Empire State Development shall establish guidance related to contribution levels from data center operators, developed to create a minimum threshold for contributions, such as at $1 million in data center operator contribution per 1 megawatt (MW) of anticipated utility demand per project. This recommended contribution level is intended to provide local governments and developers with a consistent starting point for negotiations, while allowing the final investment levels and eligible uses of the Fund to be tailored to the unique needs, priorities, and circumstances of each host community.' A table follows with two columns headed 'Megawatts (MW)' and 'Recommended Community Investment Level', running 50 / $50,000,000, 100 / $100,000,000, 150 / $150,000,000, 200 / $200,000,000, 250 / $250,000,000, 300 / $300,000,000, 350 / $350,000,000, 400 / $400,000,000. Note on that table's capacity type: its own column header is the bare phrase 'Megawatts (MW)' and supplies no qualifier, and the only definition the document gives for the megawatt basis is in the threshold sentence immediately above it, 'anticipated utility demand per project'. The table's rows must therefore be reported as anticipated utility demand, not as interconnection capacity, service capacity, critical IT load or metered load, and the bare header should not be read as licensing any of those. The outline closes: 'Public Feedback: Over the next 30 days, members of the public may submit feedback on the CIF to [email protected]'. Three limits on what this document establishes. It is expressly an outline and describes the framework in the future tense throughout ('shall prepare', 'The Framework will include'). The $1 million per megawatt figure is a recommended minimum threshold and a starting point for negotiation, phrased 'such as at', not a requirement, and the document says so on its face. And no date is printed anywhere in the document body; the fragment '071426' appears only in the filename, which is not a printed date, so the date recorded below is the retrieval date.

A Governor's Office press release dated July 29, 2026, located during discovery this pass and not part of the tracked source set, states a duration for the data-center moratorium that the Executive Order's own text does not contain. The release reads: 'During the development of this GEIS, which will take up to a year, a moratorium will be in place and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will not issue any discretionary permits not already deemed complete.' The same release states that Empire State Development will 'issue a Community Investment Framework (CIF) within 60 days', notes that an outline is available on ESD's website and that the public is encouraged to submit feedback, and states: 'Additionally, the Governor is directing DPS to consider creating a New York Grid Acceleration Fund to require data centers to invest in the state's aging grid infrastructure and energy needs so all New Yorkers benefit from responsible development.' Both the duration sentence and the Grid Acceleration Fund sentence were confirmed by a second independent retrieval of the page with a differently worded request. The evidence class here is reported rather than verified, and the distinction matters. The order itself, re-read this pass at https://www.governor.ny.gov/executive-order/no-62-establishing-temporary-moratorium-data-centers-new-york-while-state-develops, fixes no term of years and ties the moratorium's end to the point when DPS submits its report of the final Generic Environmental Impact Statement and associated findings statement. 'Up to a year' is therefore the executive's own projection of how long that work will take, stated by a public official without an underlying document that sets it as a deadline, and it should not be presented as an expiration date or converted into one. Likewise the Grid Acceleration Fund is described as something DPS is being directed to consider, not as an established fund; no fund, tariff or docket for it was located in the record reviewed this pass, which is not evidence that none exists. This release also settles a question left open in the previous pass: the characterization of the moratorium as roughly a one-year pause, previously encountered only in law-firm commentary, does trace to a primary state publication, though as a projection rather than as a term set by the order.

psc-case-26-e-0045-large-load-interconnection

Executive Order No. 62 names PSC Case 26-E-0045 by number as the proceeding through which the Department of Public Service is directed to examine data-center interconnection impacts. The order's text reads: 'The Department of Public Service (DPS) is directed to examine the impacts associated with the interconnection of data centers to the electric distribution network through its proceeding under Case 26-E-0045, Proceeding on Motion of the Commission to Address Interconnection Reforms for Large Loads.' That sentence was located by targeted search of the order's text and confirmed by a second independent retrieval of the page. This supersedes the weaker footing recorded in the previous pass, where the same linkage was carried only as a lead drawn from law-firm commentary. Two limits. The DPS event page tracked for this case, https://dps.ny.gov/event/response-comments-due-proceeding-motion-commission-address-interconnection-reforms-large, does not itself mention the executive order, the moratorium or a Generic Environmental Impact Statement, and its listed documents remain the order instituting the proceeding and a revised notice extending comment deadlines, so a reader consulting only that page would not find the connection; that is a gap in the DPS page rather than a conflict between the two records. And the order directs DPS to examine interconnection impacts through this docket, which is not the same as stating that the GEIS itself will be conducted inside this docket; no document reviewed this pass establishes which docket, if any, will carry the GEIS, and that question remains unanswered in the reviewed record.

Re-issue of a finding previously held on phrasing and still not reflected on the site. The Town of Lysander has posted a notice cancelling the Data Center Advisory Committee meeting scheduled for September 4, 2026. On the town's Data Center Information page the item is titled '9-4-26 Data Center Advisory Committee Meeting - Cancelled', is dated September 3, 2026, and its complete body is one sentence: 'The 9-4-26 Data Center Advisory Committee Meeting is cancelled.' Unlike most items the town posts there it has no attached document. It is the newest item on that page, sitting above the August 27, 2026 entry that holds the 8-28-26 committee agenda and an electricity-usage presentation. What this establishes is narrow. It confirms that a September 4, 2026 committee meeting existed on the town's schedule and was cancelled. It does not establish why, whether the committee will reconvene, or when: the notice states none of that, and no rescheduled date and no agenda for the September 4 meeting appear anywhere on that page, so that meeting's intended subject matter is also not recorded there. Preceding this notice, the page shows committee agendas posted for July 10, July 17, July 24, July 31, August 7, August 14, August 21 and August 28, 2026. Those are posted agendas; no minutes for any committee meeting appear on that page, so the record reviewed does not establish that any of those meetings was held as scheduled. Each negative above is scoped to the reviewed record: these items were not located on the town's Data Center Information page, which does not establish that they do not exist in some other town record. As of this pass, four days after the cancelled date, no September 2026 committee agenda, presentation or minutes had been posted to that page.

TeraWulf's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, filed August 5, 2026, discloses that the site the company markets as Lake Hawkeye is held under a lease from Cayuga Operating Company LLC. The filing states that on August 12, 2025 the company entered a lease agreement 'related to the Company's Lake Hawkeye site in New York with a counterparty which is a related party due to control by a member of Company management', and that the lease covers 'a portion of Cayuga Lease Lessor's real property consisting of approximately 183 acres, including all structures, equipment, facilities and fixtures located thereon which the Company expects to use primarily for HPC datacenter operations.' The filing's exhibit index identifies the instrument as a 'Lease Agreement, dated August 12, 2025, by and between Cayuga Operating Company LLC and Lake Hawkeye LLC'. Terms disclosed: an initial term of 80 years with no renewal rights; prepaid rent of $95.0 million in common stock, issued as 18.6 million shares priced on a 15-day trailing VWAP, plus $3.0 million in cash, both during the year ended December 31, 2025; a proportionate share of the lessor's costs of owning and operating the remaining property; an option after the 50th anniversary for the company to buy the premises for $100, exercisable in the other direction by the lessor and its parent on the same terms; a further $100 purchase obligation the lessor may impose on a reasonable determination that the premises will be subject to material environmental damage arising from the company's use, any such sale being 'as is' 'where is'; reversion of buildings and improvements to the lessor at expiration; and classification of all three lease components, land, buildings and equipment, as finance leases because of the bargain purchase option, measured at a 7.5 percent discount rate. Three limits on what this establishes. The identification of this lessor with the Cayuga Operating Company named in the tracked NYSDEC Region 7 permit record rests on the matching entity name and the shared Cayuga Lake location, not on any cross-reference in either document; neither document names the other. Nothing in this filing states a water withdrawal, discharge or supply arrangement for the site, so the reduction of Cayuga Operating's authorized withdrawal from and discharge to Cayuga Lake from about 245 MGD to 1 MGD approved April 13, 2026 - a figure read not from this filing but from the tracked NYSDEC Region 7 page, https://dec.ny.gov/regulatory/permits-licenses/environmental-permits/regional-environmental-permits-information/region-7 - cannot be read as describing the data center's water use, cannot be attributed to the data center, and is not combined here with anything in this filing. And the approximately 183 leased acres is a land area governed by this lease, a separate measure from the 400 gross MW and 320 critical IT MW the tracked Q1 2026 deck shows for the same site; none of the three figures may be substituted for another. The tracked Q1 2026 investor presentation contains none of this lease disclosure.

A correction to a finding filed in the previous pass and still pending review. That pass reported that the town's /notices index dates the data-center meeting cancellation September 1, 2026 and files it under the department heading 'Fire Department', and treated the resulting mismatch with the September 3 date shown elsewhere as an unresolved discrepancy. Reading the index page's HTML directly, the table row for the cancellation notice has an empty department-and-date cell. The September 1, 2026 date and the Fire Department heading belong to the following row, the 9-18-2026 Plainville Fire District Workshop, and were misread across the row boundary. On the notices index the cancellation notice therefore carries no date and no department at all. There is no date discrepancy between the town's pages, and no mis-categorization of this item.

The agenda for the September 3, 2026 Lysander Town Board meeting was downloaded and read in full. It sets a 5:30 PM work session and a 6:30 PM regular meeting at 8220 Loop Road. The work session lists four topics: Gates Road Speed Study, Zone Change Brett Maring, Trooper Barracks Construction Bids, and Battery Energy Storage Code. The regular meeting includes a public hearing on the Clinton Heights Sewer District Extension No. 3 - Hanley and adoption of the August 20, 2026 minutes. Three of the listed agenda items concern a zone change petition from Brett Maring for property at 9086 Oswego Road, Baldwinsville, Tax Map Number 024.-01-49.1, from Agricultural to General Business: item E would declare the Town Board lead agency for SEQR review and records that the board has determined a negative declaration; item F would refer the petition to the Lysander Planning Board, the Lysander Zoning Board and the Onondaga County Planning Board; item G would authorize advertising a public hearing before the Town Board at 6:30 PM on Thursday, October 1, 2026 on the petition. Two further items would set October 1, 2026 hearings on a local law overriding the tax levy limit for 2027 and on the 2027 West Phoenix Fire Protection Agreement, and later items would set an October 15, 2026 hearing on the 2027 preliminary budget and an October 22, 2026 special meeting to adopt the 2027 budget. Every one of these is drafted as an unexecuted motion, with blank lines for the moving and seconding councilors. The agenda establishes what was placed before the board, not what the board did. No minutes for the September 3, 2026 meeting have been posted, so whether any of these motions was adopted, amended or withdrawn is not on the public record. The agenda contains no item concerning data centers or the data-storage moratorium; the nearest related item is the Battery Energy Storage Code work-session topic, which the agenda names without further description. This restates a finding filed in the September 3 pass, which attributed the same content to the board-meetings archive index rather than to the agenda document that contains it.

Held only because another item in the 2026-09-05 batch was flagged. Nothing was filed against this one.

The Town of Lysander has posted a notice cancelling the Data Center Advisory Committee meeting scheduled for September 4, 2026. The notice is titled '9-4-26 Data Center Advisory Committee Meeting - Cancelled' and its complete body text is one sentence: 'The 9-4-26 Data Center Advisory Committee Meeting is cancelled.' It carries no attached document, unlike most items the town posts. It appears in all three of the town's posting locations and is the newest item on both the /notices index and the /notices/data-center-information subpage. The two pages disagree on its date: the notices index lists it under Sep 1, 2026 while the data-center subpage lists it under Sep 3, 2026, with title and body text identical in both places. Which date reflects actual posting is not established by the record, and the discrepancy is stated here rather than resolved. The notices index also categorizes the item under the department heading 'Fire Department', which is inconsistent with its subject; comparable mis-categorization of data-center items on this index has been recorded in prior passes. Two points bear on how much this establishes. It confirms that a September 4, 2026 committee meeting existed on the town's calendar, which the prior pass could not determine, since committee agendas had run weekly from July 10 through August 28 and no September agenda had been posted. It does not establish why the meeting was cancelled, whether the committee will reconvene, or when; the notice states none of that, no rescheduled date is posted, and no such inference is available from this record. No agenda was ever posted for the September 4 meeting, so its intended subject matter is also unknown.

Minutes for the August 20, 2026 Lysander Town Board meeting have been posted to the board-meetings archive at https://lysanderny.gov/sites/default/files/2026-09/8.20.26_meeting_minutes.pdf and were retrieved and read in full this pass. They are the first minutes for any August 2026 meeting to appear on the archive; prior passes recorded the July 16 and July 31 sets as the most recent. The minutes are signed by Town Clerk Dina Falcone and record all four board members present, Supervisor Kevin Rode and Councilors Vince Mangan, Ed Schmitt and Jeffrey Kudarauskas, with the meeting called to order at 6:37 PM and adjourned at 7:27 PM. Two data-center-related statements are recorded, both in the Town Board Comments section, and both are reports of what members said rather than actions the board took. Councilor Schmitt reported on the Data Center group and stated that its last discussion focused on wastewater and noise ordinance revisions, which corresponds to the subject matter of the committee's posted August presentations. He also touched on the battery energy storage discussion and stated that he liked the Town of Clay's ordinance and that it can be used as a template. Councilor Mangan thanked the group who came in to speak about Battery Energy Storage. No resolution, local law or referral concerning data centers, the data-storage moratorium or battery energy storage appears anywhere in the minutes. The twelve resolutions adopted, numbered 179 through 191 of 2026, concern stop-sign local laws at Mercer, Afternoon, Giddings and Springwoods Circle, adoption of the August 6 minutes, a Town Clerk's Office resignation and hiring, authorization to use piggyback contracting clauses on six county and state contracts, and a $68,000 budget amendment for Ninja Course cost overruns. One absence is worth stating precisely. The posted agenda for this meeting listed 'Noise/Battery Energy Storage/Microgrid Networks' as the first work session item, as recorded in the August 28 pass. These minutes begin with the 6:37 PM call to order of the regular meeting and contain no record of the work session. Whatever was discussed under that agenda item is therefore still not on the public record, and the two comments quoted above are the only trace of it in the minutes.

A September 10, 2026 Codes / Planning / Zoning entry has appeared on the Town of Lysander board-meetings archive that was not present in the prior pass, holding a Planning Board agenda at https://lysanderny.gov/sites/default/files/2026-09/91026pb_0.pdf and a meeting-materials packet at https://lysanderny.gov/sites/default/files/2026-09/9102026pb.pdf. Both are scanner-produced image PDFs with no extractable text layer; the agenda was rendered to an image and read visually this pass, while the materials packet, at roughly 20 MB, was not read and its contents remain unknown. Both files carry internal creation timestamps of September 3, 2026, at 13:54 and 14:01 UTC respectively, which is after the prior pass ran and is consistent with their appearing only now. The agenda sets a Planning Board meeting at 8220 Loop Road for 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 10, 2026. It opens with a public hearing continued from August 13, 2026 on two items, Major Subdivision Case No. 2026-001, Landmark Challenger, Melvin Farms on Hayes Road, and Site Plan Review-Multi Family Case No. 2023-008, Longview at Radisson, Longview Terrace and River Road. Old business carries those two forward and adds Controlled Site Use Case No. 2026-005, Landmark Challenger, Melvin Farms Phase 2, Lots 1 and 3. New business is a single item, Minor Subdivision Case No. 2026-007, Edward Coulter, 769 Sprague Road. Under other business the agenda lists a Recommendation to Town Board on a Zone Change from Agricultural to General Business for Maring, Brett / Maring Properties at 9086 Oswego Road. An information-only item lists Controlled Site Use, Case No. TBD, Zachary Butler, 2464 Lamson Road. The next regular Planning Board meeting is stated as October 8, 2026. The Maring item is the direct continuation of a thread recorded in the prior pass: the September 3, 2026 Town Board agenda carried a motion referring that same petition, identified there by the 9086 Oswego Road address and Tax Map Number 024.-01-49.1, to the Lysander Planning Board, the Zoning Board and the Onondaga County Planning Board, alongside a motion advertising a Town Board public hearing for October 1, 2026. The Planning Board agenda states no intended use for the parcel and makes no reference to a data center, and the agenda contains no data-center, data-storage-moratorium or battery-storage item of any kind. No connection between this rezoning and any data-center proposal is asserted here, and none is available from the documents read.

lysander-town-board-minutes

The September 3, 2026 Town Board entry on the board-meetings archive now carries nine supporting documents rather than the six recorded in the prior pass. The three additions are seqra_resolution_of_the_town_of_lysander-clinton_heights.pdf, sewer_district_extension_plan_and_report_08-05-26_002.pdf and hanley_order_approving_sewer_district_extension.pdf, all served from the 2026-09 file directory. All three relate to the Clinton Heights Sewer District Extension No. 3 - Hanley public hearing that the September 3 agenda listed as its sixth regular-meeting item, and the file names indicate a SEQR resolution, an updated plan and report dated August 5, 2026, and an order approving the district extension. The documents themselves were not retrieved and read this pass, so their contents are not characterized here beyond what the file names state. None of the three relates to a data center, the data-storage moratorium or the Maring zone change. The addition is recorded because the entry's document set changed, not because it bears on the data-center subject.

The Town Board meetings archive at https://lysanderny.gov/board-meetings now carries a September 3, 2026 Town Board entry that does not appear in the records of any prior pass. The archive lists against it an agenda at https://lysanderny.gov/sites/default/files/2026-09/9-3-2026_agenda.pdf and six supporting documents: september_budget_transfer_.pdf, sewer_district_extension_plan_and_report_07-24-26.pdf, hanley_sewer_main_ext_contract_drawings_07-28-26.pdf, special_event_license_annals_angels_2026.pdf, zone_change_procedure_and_application.pdf and maring_properties_rev.pdf. The last three of those are served from a 2026-09 file directory that did not exist in prior passes. The agenda document itself was retrieved and its text extracted, and everything that follows is read off that document. It sets a meeting at 8220 Loop Road on Thursday, September 3, 2026, with a work session at 5:30 PM and the regular meeting at 6:30 PM. The work session lists four topics: Gates Road Speed Study, Zone Change Brett Maring, Trooper Barracks Construction Bids, and Battery Energy Storage Code. The regular meeting's fifth item is adoption of minutes for August 20, 2026, and no other meeting's minutes are listed for adoption. Its sixth item is a public hearing on Clinton Heights Sewer District Extension No. 3 - Hanley. Three lettered motions concern a zone change petition received from Brett Maring for property at 9086 Oswego Road, Baldwinsville, Tax Map Number 024.-01-49.1, from Agricultural to General Business: one would declare the Town Board lead agency for SEQR review and states the board has determined a negative declaration; one would refer the petition to the Lysander Planning Board, the Zoning Board and the Onondaga County Planning Board; and one would authorize advertising a public hearing before the Town Board at 6:30 PM on Thursday, October 1, 2026. Further motions would advertise October 1, 2026 hearings on a local law to override the tax levy limit established in General Municipal Law 3-c for 2027 and on a 2027 fire protection agreement with Enterprise Fire Company No. 1, an October 15, 2026 hearing on the 2027 Preliminary Budget, and a special meeting on October 22, 2026 at 5:00 PM to consider adoption of the 2027 budget. Two absences are worth stating precisely, because both bear on the subject this record is tracked for and neither should be read as more than an absence. The agenda contains no reference to a data center, to the data-storage moratorium or to the Data Center Advisory Committee; its only energy-infrastructure item is the Battery Energy Storage Code work-session topic, which the agenda does not describe further. And the zone change is identified in the agenda solely by the 9086 Oswego Road address and tax map number and by the Agricultural to General Business change; the agenda states no intended use and makes no connection to any data-center proposal, so none is asserted here. The two supporting documents specific to the petition, zone_change_procedure_and_application.pdf at 10 pages and maring_properties_rev.pdf at 1 page, are scanner-produced image PDFs from which no text could be extracted this pass, so what they contain has not been read.

The Town of Lysander notices index at lysanderny.gov carries an entry titled 8-28-26 Data Center Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda with a listing date of August 27, 2026, holding two files: the agenda itself and a separate presentation file. The agenda document notices a work session of the Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee at 8220 Loop Road for 9:00 AM on Friday, August 28th, 2026. Under old business it carries a single item, proposed noise ordinance wording from outside consultants, marked pending. Under new business it lists four items: a shared drive for documents, a Data Center Concerns List progress update, formalizing waste water recommendations, and beginning the electricity usage discussion. It then lists committee comments and feedback, and records the next meeting as continuing the electricity usage discussion. The agenda names no consultant, states no figures, records no vote or decision, and identifies no applicant or parcel. It establishes what was noticed and scheduled, not what occurred at the meeting.

The presentation file the town posted for the August 28, 2026 committee meeting carries the file name lysander_dc_committee_electricity_usage_8-28-26.pdf, but the document itself opens with a section headed Waste Water Recommendations before moving to electricity; both subjects are inside this single file. The wastewater section states six recommendation items: that the committee reiterates the need for closed loop cooling systems; that the Planning Board must require a full environmental review for projects of this size or nature; that industrial users be required to disclose any toxic chemicals used in their cooling systems and industrial processes during the environmental review process; that wastewater be required to be treated and managed by WEP and the NY State DEC per their guidelines, with no direct release to the environment; that a public facing dashboard be required displaying current values and trends of potential waste water pollutants including the items listed in the committee's 8/21/26 meeting; and that proper recycling or disposal of used chemicals, including coolants, be required per WEP, DEC and EPA guidelines. The dashboard item carries an unfilled placeholder where a number should be, stating the requirement may be limited to industrial users who produce more than XXX gallons of wastewater in any given day, and those whose waste water contains PFAs above the ambient level already existing in the environment. The document presents this as recommendation text. It records no vote, no adoption, no transmittal to the Town Board, and it names no applicant.

Held only because another item in the 2026-08-31 batch was flagged. Nothing was filed against this one.

The second half of the same August 28, 2026 committee presentation opens the committee's electricity subject area. It states priority figures taken from the committee's concerns spreadsheet, on the same undefined scale used in its earlier decks: electricity overall priority 2.4, with electricity usage, brown outs and capacity at 2.8, battery storage at 1.8, nuclear power generation onsite at 2.1, and generator usage at 2.4; it separately lists who pays for infrastructure upgrades at 3.0 as an item also covered in other areas. Under background it states that the committee already recommends that any water infrastructure upgrades for the project be paid for by the developer, that the planning board typically requires developers to pay for any required infrastructure additions, that the town does not manage or maintain the electric grid or electricity prices in any way, that the town has an existing moratorium on Battery Energy Storage Systems, and that the town is actively working on updating its BESS ordinance. It then sets out regulatory options the document says the town may hold: designating any on-site or behind-the-meter electrical power generation over a specific threshold, given in the document as an illustrative 5 megawatts, as a separate prohibited land use; explicitly limiting on-site generation to emergency battery storage and generators meant solely for temporary use during blackouts; mandating security perimeters for high voltage generation or specialized fuel systems; possibly restricting high voltage transmission switchyards within the zone; and it quotes existing town code 320-51, that there shall be no activities which emit radioactivity dangerous to health or adversely affecting the operation of any equipment. It divides jurisdiction as follows: NYISO operates the high-voltage grid, runs the wholesale markets, plans for future power needs, and sets supply charges; the New York Power Authority and companies such as Constellation Energy own and operate the generation plants; National Grid owns the wires and delivers power and does not generate it; the Public Service Commission sets delivery charges, service classifications and demand caps; the town has no say in power delivery or rates; the DEC has authority over generator air emissions, fuel types and fuel storage; and the town can regulate generator size, operating hours outside emergencies, setbacks and noise through code, and can influence generator types and pollution through the Planning Board SEQRA process. On capacity the document keeps three distinct quantities in play. First, peak load: it states that the local utility and NYISO approve a user's connection through the interconnection queue and that this approval is based on the peak load required by the user. Second, approved interconnection capacity: it states that once approved, the industrial user is allowed to use the full capacity they are approved for. Third, system capacity: it states that in theory a user would never be approved to use more power than system capacity allows, and that if the local utility and NYISO approved a connection through the interconnection queue but mathematically miscalculated the grid's capacity, the responsibility rests with them. It adds that consumers may be protected from price increases due to large scale user demand through the use of peak-load pricing. It defines a brownout as an intentional or unintentional drop in voltage in an electrical power supply system, states that brownouts can damage motors used by commercial users as well as those in residential appliances, and states that what looks like a brownout caused by a large user is often a deliberate, controlled voltage reduction engineered by the local utility or NYISO to keep the grid stable. It lists on-site power options as generators in diesel and natural gas form, battery energy storage, and nuclear or small modular reactors, and compares diesel against natural gas on energy density, fuel efficiency, upfront equipment cost, on-site fuel storage, fuel cost, emissions, noise and maintenance. The document's closing next-steps slide lists continuing the discussion on electricity usage and on-site generation and beginning to talk about electricity recommendations; no electricity recommendation text appears anywhere in this document.

The August 28, 2026 committee presentation makes four site-specific statements under a background heading in its on-site power section, none of which cite an underlying permit, utility filing or survey. As stated by the committee: there are two separate major power transmission lines crossing at the site; the second transmission line may mitigate the need for additional back up power, but that is unlikely; there is a large natural gas main running beneath the proposed data center site; and NRC guidelines for population density would prevent a large scale nuclear reactor at this site based on the combined population of Lysander, Van Buren, Salina and Clay. What the posted record directly supports is that the committee stated these things on that date. The underlying site conditions and the population-density conclusion were not located in any primary permit, utility or federal record during this pass, and the document identifies no applicant or parcel by name.

A section of the August 28, 2026 committee presentation describes a NYISO proposal to revise the large load interconnection process, attributed in the document to NYISO rather than to the town. As stated there, NYISO is proposing changes to the interconnection process in response to the unprecedented pace and scale of large load development across New York State, and is considering five reforms: developing criteria to define and categorize large loads, including differentiated treatment for data centers and similar computational load facilities such as cryptocurrency mining; considering additional requirements for certain facilities, such as impact-based cost recovery, customer-supplied generation or storage, curtailment or flexibility obligations, long-term contracts, tariff revisions or other mechanisms to protect reliability; examining planning, modeling and queue-management improvements, particularly regarding speculative load, to enhance transparency, forecasting accuracy and interconnection efficiency; assessing clear and equitable impact-based risk- and cost-sharing arrangements for necessary grid upgrades; and identifying system and customer benefits, including opportunities for rate reductions and beneficial reuse of waste heat through coordination with thermal-energy-network initiatives. This is a town committee's restatement of a NYISO stakeholder proposal. The presentation cites no NYISO filing, docket number or date, and NYISO's own site returned an empty HTTP 202 response to automated requests during this pass, so the restatement could not be checked against the source. The subject matter overlaps the separately tracked Public Service Commission proceeding on large load interconnection, Case 26-E-0045, but the presentation does not state that the two are the same process and no record confirming that was located.

The Town Board Meetings archive now carries the agenda document for the Lysander Town Board special meeting of Monday, August 31, 2026 at 5:00 PM at 8220 Loop Road, whose contents were not previously in the record. The agenda lists two items. Item A is a motion to adopt the bond resolution of the Town of Lysander, Onondaga County, authorizing the acquisition, construction and equipping of a capital improvement project for the benefit of the Cold Springs Sewer District No. 1 at an estimated maximum cost of $6,982,000, appropriating that amount, and authorizing issuance of up to $3,170,000 of bond anticipation notes and serial bonds to pay part of the cost of the project; those figures match the separately posted draft resolution already in the record. Item B is a motion authorizing the Town Clerk to advertise a public hearing before the Town Board at 6:30 PM on Thursday, September 15, 2026 on a zone change petition received from Leo R. Duger for the property at 8075 Plainville Road, tax map number 034.-01-01.2, currently Neighborhood Residential Business District extension, with the agenda noting the item is on for approval because it is time sensitive for advertisement in the Post-Standard. Two document-level observations follow from comparing this agenda with the Town Clerk's notice of the same meeting, dated August 6, 2026, which is already in the record: the notice states the purpose as conducting a public hearing regarding the bond resolution, while the agenda as posted lists a motion to adopt the resolution and lists no public hearing step among its items; and the notice does not mention the zone change item that the agenda carries. Neither item names a data-center applicant, and the agenda records what is scheduled for the meeting, not what was decided at it.

The Town of Lysander website posts an August 28, 2026 Data Center Advisory Committee meeting agenda together with a presentation file. The posted file name identifies it as the electricity-usage deck, but the document itself opens with a section titled Waste Water Recommendations before moving to electricity; both subjects are inside the single posted file. The agenda for that meeting lists, under new business, a shared drive for documents, a concerns-list progress update, formalizing wastewater recommendations, and beginning the electricity usage discussion, with a noise-ordinance wording item from outside consultants carried as pending old business. The wastewater section states six recommendation items: reiterating the need for closed loop cooling systems; that the Planning Board must require a full environmental review for projects of this size or nature; requiring industrial users to disclose any toxic chemicals used in their cooling systems and industrial processes during the environmental review process; requiring that wastewater is treated and managed by WEP and the New York State DEC per their guidelines with no direct release to the environment; requiring a public facing dashboard displaying current values and trends of potential wastewater pollutants, described in the document as including the items listed in the committee's own 8/21/26 meeting; and requiring the proper recycling or disposal of used chemicals, including coolants, per WEP, DEC and EPA guidelines. The dashboard item carries an unfilled placeholder where a number should be, stating the requirement may be limited to industrial users who produce more than XXX gallons of wastewater in any given day and those whose wastewater contains PFAs above the ambient level already existing in the environment.

A twenty-three-slide presentation dated August 28, 2026 and headed for the Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee is posted on the Town of Lysander website alongside the August 28 meeting agenda. Its opening section converts the committee's earlier wastewater material into drafted recommendation language. The drafted recommendations are: reiterating the need for closed-loop cooling systems; requiring the Planning Board to require a full environmental review for projects of this size or nature; requiring industrial users to disclose any toxic chemicals used in cooling systems and industrial processes during the environmental review process; requiring wastewater to be treated and managed by the county Water Environment Protection department and the state Department of Environmental Conservation per their guidelines with no direct release to the environment; requiring a public-facing dashboard displaying current values and trends of potential wastewater pollutants including the items listed at the committee's August 21, 2026 meeting; and requiring proper recycling or disposal of used chemicals including coolants per WEP, DEC and EPA guidelines. The dashboard recommendation carries an unfilled numeric placeholder, stating the requirement may be limited to industrial users producing more than a blank number of gallons of wastewater in any given day and those whose wastewater contains PFAS above the ambient level already existing in the environment. The document is drafted recommendation text presented to the committee; it records no vote, no adoption, and no transmittal to the Town Board, and it names no applicant.

It separates jurisdictions, stating that NYISO operates the high-voltage grid and sets supply charges, that the New York Power Authority and companies such as Constellation Energy own and operate generation, that National Grid owns the wires and does not generate power, that the Public Service Commission sets delivery charges, service classifications and demand caps, that the town has no say in power delivery or rates, that DEC has authority over generator air emissions, fuel types and fuel storage, and that the town can regulate generator size, operating hours outside emergencies, setbacks and noise through code and can influence generator types through the Planning Board SEQRA process. It states that the local utility and NYISO are legally responsible for grid reliability, that interconnection approval is based on the user's peak load, that an approved user is allowed to use the full capacity approved, and that if the utility and NYISO approved a connection but miscalculated grid capacity the responsibility rests with them. It defines a brownout as an intentional or unintentional drop in voltage and states that an apparent large-user brownout is often a deliberate controlled voltage reduction engineered by the utility or NYISO. It lists on-site power options as diesel and natural gas generators, battery energy storage, and nuclear or small modular reactors, with diesel and natural gas compared on energy density, upfront cost, fuel storage, emissions and noise. Three site-specific assertions appear, stated by the committee without a cited underlying record: that two separate major power transmission lines cross at the site, that the second transmission line may mitigate the need for additional backup power though that is unlikely, that a large natural gas main runs beneath the proposed data center site, and that Nuclear Regulatory Commission population-density guidelines would prevent a large-scale nuclear reactor at this site based on the combined population of Lysander, Van Buren, Salina and Clay. The document closes by listing next steps as continuing the electricity usage and on-site generation discussion and beginning to talk about electricity recommendations, so no electricity recommendation has been drafted.

The same August 28, 2026 committee document contains a section describing a NYISO proposal to revise the large-load interconnection process, which it attributes to NYISO rather than to the town. As characterized in the document, NYISO is proposing changes in response to the pace and scale of large-load development across New York State and is considering: developing criteria to define and categorize large loads, including differentiated treatment for data centers and similar computational load facilities such as cryptocurrency mining; additional requirements for certain facilities such as impact-based cost recovery, customer-supplied generation or storage, curtailment or flexibility obligations, long-term contracts, tariff revisions or other mechanisms to protect reliability; planning, modeling and queue-management improvements particularly regarding speculative load, to improve transparency, forecasting accuracy and interconnection efficiency; clear and equitable impact-based risk- and cost-sharing arrangements for necessary grid upgrades; and identification of system and customer benefits including opportunities for rate reductions and beneficial reuse of waste heat through coordination with thermal-energy-network initiatives. This is a town committee's restatement of a NYISO stakeholder proposal; no NYISO document, docket number, filing date or tariff filing is cited in the town document, and the underlying NYISO material was not reachable directly this pass. The subject matter overlaps the tracked Public Service Commission proceeding on large-load interconnection but the document does not identify the two as the same process.

A Data Center Advisory Committee agenda posted on the Town of Lysander website on August 27, 2026 notices a work session at 8220 Loop Road for 9:00 AM on Friday, August 28, 2026. Under old business the agenda carries forward a single item, proposed noise-ordinance wording from outside consultants, marked pending. Under new business it lists a shared document drive, a Data Center Concerns List progress update, an item to formalize wastewater recommendations, and an item to begin an electricity usage discussion. The agenda also lists committee comments and feedback, and records the next meeting as continuing the electricity usage discussion. The agenda names no consultant, states no figures, and records no decision; it establishes what was noticed and scheduled, not what occurred.

A thirteen-slide presentation document posted on the Town of Lysander website, headed for a Data Center Advisory Committee meeting and dated August 7, 2026, contains background material not present in the committee's later August 21, 2026 wastewater deck. It states that a previously approved warehouse required water and sewer lines to be built out to the site, that the planning board typically requires developers to pay for any required infrastructure additions, that the town does not have its own municipal water system, that the town's wastewater treatment is handled by the county, and that existing town code covers stormwater and runoff. It lists the same undefined-scale priority figures from a committee concerns spreadsheet as the later deck -- water overall 2.5, water pollution including PFAS 2.5, water usage 2.7, residential water pressure 2.1, ground water levels 1.8, who pays for infrastructure upgrades 3.0, wastewater handling and treatment 3.0 -- and records that stormwater runoff was suggested as an additional item the prior week. It states the committee had already recommended against open-loop cooling, describes closed-loop systems as drastically reducing total water consumed while still requiring periodic flushing and occasional draining for maintenance, and lists mitigation options as choosing the least toxic coolant available, proper disposal of used chemical coolants away from the wastewater system, on-site treatment, discharge to the county for treatment, and robust monitoring and reporting. The document records no decision and identifies no applicant, and its presence on the website establishes that it was posted, not that a meeting took place.

The draft bond resolution posted for the Town of Lysander Town Board session of August 31, 2026 supplies figures for the Cold Springs Sewer District #1 project that the previously posted meeting notice did not state. The draft would authorize acquisition, construction and equipping of the project at a maximum estimated cost of $6,982,000 and authorize issuance of up to $3,170,000 of serial bonds or bond anticipation notes. Its financing plan consists of payment of project costs by a third party developer in the amount of $3,812,000, expenditure of state grants, federal grants and other available funds if any, and the up-to-$3,170,000 bond or note issuance. The project is described as a new pump station, approximately 20,000 linear feet of gravity sewer and force main piping, branch gravity sewer connections, precast concrete manholes, sewer laterals, cleanout structures, and air release valves and structures. The period of probable usefulness is stated as forty years, and debt service is to be apportioned against parcels within the district, with the town's full faith and credit pledged and ad valorem taxes on all taxable town property available if district assessments do not cover payment. The draft recites that the Map, Plan and Report was filed with the Town Clerk on January 14, 2026, that the board on July 31, 2026 classified the project as an Unlisted Action, declared itself lead agency for an uncoordinated review and issued a Negative Declaration, that the district formation resolution adopted July 31, 2026 was subject to permissive referendum, and that the referendum period elapsed with no valid petition filed. The draft names no developer and makes no reference to any data center or data storage facility. Its own caption describes the August 31, 2026 session as a regular meeting at 4:00 P.M.

terawulf-q1-2026-investor-presentation

TeraWulf filed a Q2 2026 investor presentation as an exhibit to an 8-K on August 5, 2026, superseding the tracked Q1 2026 deck, which was re-verified unchanged at its own URL this pass. The Q2 deck locates Lake Hawkeye at Lansing, NY in NYISO, still shows approximately 320 MW of critical IT capacity there, still shows the site in the uncontracted pipeline rather than among contracted sites, and adds a delivery target the Q1 deck did not state: approximately 320 MW of total critical IT delivery in 2029. It reports platform totals of 3,630 MW gross and 2,921 MW critical IT, up from 2,870 MW gross and 2,272 MW critical IT in the Q1 deck, and contracted critical IT capacity of approximately 839 MW, up from 522 MW, which the deck attributes to a 401 MW lease with Anthropic at the Justified Data campus in Hawesville, Kentucky and to acquisition of the Muskie site in Grayson, Kentucky with 1 GW of contracted electric service. The deck also states an agreement to sell the company's Abernathy joint venture interest for $530 million and shows Chesapeake Data as pending closing and regulatory approvals. All figures are company-reported; the 2029 Lake Hawkeye date is a forward-looking target stated by the company, not a permit, interconnection or construction record, and the deck reports no contracted capacity at Lake Hawkeye and no site-plan-approval status for it.

The Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee held a work session at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, August 14, 2026 at 8220 Loop Road. The posted agenda lists, under old business, proposed noise-ordinance wording from outside consultants marked as pending a response from the vendor, and a water-usage discussion. New business lists a progress update on the committee's data-center concerns list, a recap of a CNY Solidarity data-center meeting, and the start of a wastewater discussion. The agenda names no consultant and states no decision.

town-of-lysander-official-records

The Lysander Data Center Advisory Committee held a further work session at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, August 21, 2026 at 8220 Loop Road. The posted agenda carries the noise-ordinance wording from outside consultants forward as a status update, and lists as new business a shared document drive, a concerns-list progress update, a Battery Energy Storage System ordinance update, and continuation of the wastewater discussion focused on monitoring. The agenda records the next meeting as a further continuation of the wastewater discussion.

town-of-lysander-official-records

A presentation posted with the August 21, 2026 Data Center Advisory Committee agenda sets out the committee's wastewater analysis. It lists priority figures drawn from a committee concerns spreadsheet -- water overall 2.5, water pollution including PFAS 2.5, water usage 2.7, residential water pressure 2.1, ground water levels 1.8, who pays for infrastructure upgrades 3.0, and wastewater handling and treatment 3.0 -- on a scale the document does not define, so the figures cannot be read as a ranking without further source support. The presentation records that the town has no municipal water system of its own, that the county provides both water through OCWA and wastewater treatment through WEP, and that the town's available levers are mandating connection to municipal water, regulating wells including limits on large-scale withdrawals, and imposing drought-time outdoor use limits. It states the committee has already recommended against open-loop cooling, identifies coolant toxicity, PFAS, nitrite corrosion inhibitors, biocides, heavy metals, pH and heat as wastewater concerns, and proposes a monitoring and public dashboard reporting requirement applying to all industrial users above an unspecified volume or contaminant threshold, listing fourteen parameters to monitor. Next steps recorded are continued wastewater discussion followed by stormwater.
