Overview
This bill requires data centers operating in New Jersey to create and submit a detailed plan to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) outlining how they will manage and minimize water usage during the construction phase of any new building or significant expansion. The plan must address strategies for reducing water consumption, preventing pollution, and ensuring responsible water management practices. This aims to protect New Jersey’s water resources and promote sustainable data center development. The DEP will then review these plans to ensure compliance and potentially offer guidance.
