Pacifico's August air application describes 48 natural-gas turbines across six model families beside thousands of existing homes, schools and childcare sites. Lost Pines Watch turns the public record into facts residents can verify, meetings they can attend, and specific actions they can take.
Floodlight News recorded this January 2026 thermal view above xAI's gas-turbine plant in Southaven, Mississippi. One data-center complex is served by rows of hot stacks and exhaust plumes visible across the yard.
The short brief separates the essential facts from the unanswered questions—and turns both into specific asks for county, state, and school-district decision-makers.

These privacy-safe GIS counts measure from Pacifico’s filed project boundary. They do not publish resident names, addresses, ownership, or submissions.
The drought layer retrieves the U.S. Drought Monitor’s latest available weekly polygons and dates. Drought conditions change; consult the dated map layer. Station locations and district lines do not prove staffing, apparatus, fire-water, response time, or industrial-fire capability.
This is an explicit public-interest position grounded in the present record—not a claim that every unresolved risk has already been proven.
This is not an empty industrial tract. The filed perimeter sits amid thousands of anonymous residential sites and 17 mapped school and childcare entries within about three miles. Co-located programs count separately; the map labels verification limits.
Regional wildfire history and periodically severe drought are documented. Project fire-water, station-level staffing, apparatus, mutual aid, and industrial-response capability remain unverified.
The revised JETI filing pairs $2.237 billion of investment with only 25 applicant-projected permanent jobs. The later air application states 1,326 MW of maximum nominal output.
The released filing identifies 48 turbines, six model families, modeled schedules, controls and applicant-calculated emissions. Final stack terms, source-wide enforceable limits, monitoring and TCEQ's written eligibility determination remain unresolved.
Each project is tracked separately. Regional claims are made only where the combined record supports them.
A proposed 48-turbine natural-gas generation facility whose August air application states 1,326 MW of maximum nominal output. An earlier JETI filing described 710 MW of site-rated redundant power supporting approximately 490 MW of associated IT load; the differing capacity measures have not been reconciled in the released record.
A filed two-story, fully sprinklered data center with site improvements. The qualifying-large-data-center register names CoreWeave as occupant and DFW33220N Operations 1 as operator.
A planned one-story data center with supporting office space, site improvements, and automatic sprinklers.
A second planned one-story data center at the same filed address, with supporting office space, site improvements, and automatic sprinklers.
The strongest new findings are separated into verified government records, independent calculations, and status checks.
Next evidence: Obtain both complete NOIs, Black Chamber’s July 15 Notice of Change, and every SWP3 map, civil sheet, grading plan, and drainage plan in agency or county possession.
Next evidence: Obtain the approved September 1 minutes, Resolution 26.09.01, negotiated NSSA, current engineering findings, cost allocation and final Board action. The October 6 agenda includes approval of the September minutes.
Next evidence: Obtain both county applications, draft agreements, eligible-value schedules, fiscal reviews, final rates, and the data-center-side incentive model.
Next evidence: Obtain the current operative application, deficiency correspondence and written eligibility analysis; track any decision notice and verify applicable challenge instructions with TCEQ. The requested public meeting was declined September 17.
The released application supplies a turbine count and model-family inventory, but major engineering and compliance questions remain. Those gaps are a reason to investigate and withhold judgment—not permission to invent a final layout, duty cycle, water demand, or risk conclusion.
