WVDEP orders data center company to make repairs after residential flooding

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) has ordered a data center company, Monarch Cloud, to make immediate repairs and strengthen stormwater controls at its construction site in Mason County. This order comes after residential flooding on July 11th, which was caused by construction activities for a future AI data center and revealed permit violations. This is not the first instance of flooding related to the project.
