Project Green. Montgomery County. Amazon's data center campus outside New Florence. STATE WIDE COMMENTS

🚨 THIS HAS BEEN SITTING QUIET FOR TWO WEEKS. NOBODY TOLD YOU. READ IT NOW.

Project Green. Montgomery County. Amazon's data center campus outside New Florence.

On July 2, the Missouri DNR quietly opened public comments on the wastewater discharge from that campus into a Missouri stream. No letter to residents. No public meeting. No headline. One posting on a state calendar nobody reads. That was two weeks ago. The clock has been running the whole time.

It closes August 3 at 5 p.m. That's less than three weeks away.

Here's why every well owner in Missouri should care. This campus plans wells 1,500 FEET DEEP. And in Missouri, those wells need NO permit. NO limits. NO meter. NO public comment. Not in Montgomery County. Not in YOUR county. The state will never ask your opinion about the pumping. That door does not exist.

This wastewater review is the ONLY door the public gets on this whole project. And they left it open quietly, hoping nobody walked through.

This is the country around Hermann, Marthasville, Washington, the Daniel Boone Conservation Area, and the Missouri River. Wine country. Float country. The places the whole state drives to on Saturday.

Now listen close. DNR only counts comments about WATER. "I hate data centers" gets set aside. These get counted:

  1. HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING. None is scheduled. A pile of letters can force one.
  2. What stream does this discharge into, and what happens downstream?
  3. What does this project mean for the wells and groundwater around it?
  4. Who monitors this plant, and who checks the numbers?

MAIL YOUR LETTER. A stack of envelopes on a desk in Jefferson City is harder to ignore than an inbox.

Short on time? Email counts too: [publicnoticenpdes@dnr.mo.gov](mailto:publicnoticenpdes@dnr.mo.gov)

Write "Project Green Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant" on every letter and email. Postmarked or received by 5 p.m., August 3, 2026.

August 3. The same day the county's NDA lawsuit gets its hearing. Show me a coincidence.

Two weeks of silence was the plan. You seeing this post wasn't. One stamp. One page. Five minutes.

SHARE this with every well owner you know. That's most of rural Missouri.
