A federal appeals board has allowed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to review its approval of a Boulder City data center application on federal land after judges found the agency likely violated environmental law. The decision was initially against the wishes of Boulder City, which argued that granting the BLM's motion would not necessarily ensure a proper environmental assessment. The judges ruled that if Boulder City believes BLM will develop new regulatory standards in its review of Townsite’s application, it may seek review on that basis if and when BLM approves the application. The controversy surrounding the Townsite Solar 2 data center in Boulder City has led to increased opposition to large data centers in the state, with concerns about their potential impact on water supply and where they will source power.
