People can also request a public hearing, and that request should include specific reasons for it. IDEM will determine if a public hearing is warranted.
Written comments and inquiries can be sent to Indiana Department of Environmental Management, 100 N. Senate Ave., MC65-42 WQS IGCN 1255, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

The developer of the Google data center being constructed in southeast Fort Wayne has asked for permission to fill nearly 2 1/2 acres of protected wetlands to make way for the development’s second phase.
Google in April 2024 announced plans to invest $2 billion in a data center on Fort Wayne’s far east side. The long-range plans include up to nine data center buildings on an 892-acre site bordered by Adams Center and Tillman roads and the railroad corridor near New Haven.
