The plan states that buildings must comply with the City's adopted construction and fire codes in effect when permits are submitted and, at minimum, the 2024 International Codes.
Proposed requirementThe EC Plan expressly addresses fire hazards, batteries and arc-flash fire hazards as part of its safety framework. Final equipment-specific hazard analyses and response procedures are not established by the conceptual plan.
Documented topicThe plan depicts emergency and life-safety diesel-backed generators and lists 3-MW diesel backup units, including two life-safety backup generators per data-center building.
Proposed / documentedA second Union Pacific Railroad crossing is proposed specifically for emergency access in addition to the primary access concept.
Proposed / documentedThe concept includes battery energy storage systems, a gas yard, gas-generation areas, and urea/fuel-related storage in addition to substations and mechanical/cooling equipment. Exact inventories and final separation distances remain subject to later engineering and permitting.
Proposed / documentedSeparate black-start diesel generation is contemplated so portions of the on-site power system can be started without relying on normal grid or plant power. Final equipment and emergency-operating procedures remain unresolved.
