WCHS reports that water and mud from a data center construction site flooded Meadowlands Estates in Mason County, West Virginia, damaging residents’ property. According to WCHS, Nscale said its controls complied with the approved plan but unusually intense rainfall exceeded their capacity and broke a section of silt fencing. The company said it was covering cleanup and repair costs and reinforcing drainage and sediment controls.
