Three ways to help today

Be heard

Leave a resident comment

What should the companies behind the project answer or understand? Share your questions, concerns, or experience for delivery to project representatives.

No name is needed. Comments are reviewed; anonymous publication requires your separate permission.

Leave a comment
Show local opposition

Add yourself to the map

Help show the community opposing the proposed Pacifico data center and on-site gas plant. Only anonymous totals in broad areas appear publicly.

Your exact address and email stay private. Already on the map? You can still leave a comment.

Join the opposition map

Resident comments and map entries go to Lost Pines Watch. They do not submit anything to TCEQ or preserve a filing deadline. Direct TCEQ submissions.

Community meetings and events

Follow Lost Pines Watch for newly announced events and ways to participate.

Also in the works: “Keep It Country: Two Stepping to Save Rural Texas” at Kintsugi Ranch, tentatively November 8. Details are still being finalized. Read the event preview.

Share, connect, and contribute

Send a record, tip, or correction

Have a document, local observation, useful source, or something we should check? Send it to the research team for review.

Sign a local or statewide petition

These independent campaigns address broader data-center issues. They are separate from a TCEQ submission.

Contact public officials

Tell officials how the proposed development affects you. Ask them to support relocation of the fossil-fuel generation or a redesign that eliminates it, meaningful public participation, and enforceable community protections.

For state outreach, ask for a clear explanation of the conditions for lifting the permitting pause and public access to the technical record before a decision. Reference Air Registration 185019 / Project 413471.

Bastrop County

Ask the County to use its available authority and withhold discretionary support while siting and community impacts remain unresolved.

Submit directly to TCEQ

To send information to the agency, use TCEQ’s own submission route and reference 185019 / 413471. Include your specific concerns or supporting evidence and keep the confirmation.

If eComments cannot find Registration 185019, ask the Chief Clerk how to associate your submission with the correct file. Do not select an unrelated permit.

A comment does not guarantee a public meeting or hearing, or preserve a later filing deadline. Lost Pines Watch follows the permit record and shares updates through the alert list.

Connect with other local discussion groups

These are independently managed spaces. Some require an account or group membership.
