Â
- Project location: 1598 W S R 42, Mooresville, IN, 46158
Â
- Affected waterbodies: One emergent wetland and two perennial unnamed tributaries to Clear Brook.
Â
- Project Description: The proposed project seeks to construct the Project Louie data center campus, providing six data center buildings and associated infrastructure improvements. Permanent impacts to waterways are anticipated due to the placement of clean earthen fill and construction of small structure culverts. Approximately 627 linear feet (lft) of stream impacts are proposed due to the expansion of an existing culvert (30 lft), construction of a new culvert (174 lft), and the partial relocation of a stream (403 lft). Approximately 0.05 acre of wetland impacts are proposed for the placement of clean earthen fill for grading. Impacts will be mitigated through the creation of 415 lft of stream to be restored on-site, as well as the purchase of 276 lft of stream credits and wetland 0.1 acre of wetland credits from Indiana DNR’s In-Lieu-Fee program. See attached permit application report for additional details.
