After heavy rain on July 11, 2026, West Virginia DEP inspectors found erosion and sediment controls at the Monarch Cloud Campus construction site were overwhelmed, letting sediment-laden water enter neighboring residential properties for the second time. DEP issued an enforcement order halting work in a drainage area until controls are fixed. The company said it is working with affected homeowners on cleanup and repairs.
