industrial uses while deferring dust control violates this requirement. This is all occurring in a basin designated as ozone non-attainment since 2018, with documented exceedances driven by oil and gas emissions and inversion. Conditions.

At the same time, particulate pollution from haul roads, excavation, and industrial traffic remains a persistent concern. Approving additional combustion sources, heavy trucking, and dust-generating activity without enforceable safeguards entrenches non-attainment conditions agencies are already struggling to mitigate out here. Drought magnifies this failure. Dust suppression depends on water, precisely when water resources are the most constrained. Approving dust-intensive industrial buildout without front-loaded proof of water sourcing, monitoring, and enforceable standards externalizes drought-era impacts onto us as residents.

That is not balance, it's abdication. The Nine Mile Data Center is not the first problematic permit. It is the approval where years of negligent, cup-based permitting since 2018 converged into a single unavoidable record. Had the county required a unified review, complete applications and findings reports, and set some enforceable standards, any lawful process- and follow, sorry, lawful process- this appeal would not be necessary. Instead, the system doubled down.

This appeal is not about opposing development. It's about restoring the rule of law and giving a voice to locals that have been shipped away after several years. Conditional use permits were never meant to be rubber stamps for industrialization at any cost. They exist to protect the public when stakes are high. From 2018 forward, that protection failed.

April 2nd is where that failure became unmistakable. We respectfully ask this commission to reverse or remand all 4 approvals, require unified lawful review, and restore a permitting system that complies with county's own code and Utah law while protecting public health, public land, revenue, uh, property values, and long-term community welfare.

Speaker-AThank you.

Thank you.

Speaker-BWell, that's a nice report you have there. I, uh, when I ran for commission 4 years ago, that's what I ran on was personal property rights. And by your statements there and everything I don't agree. I've sat through- I've sat through- no, let me talk. All right, I've been sleeping.
