# 2026-05 Conway Corporation Produces Project Stratus Records On 2026-05-29, [[Conway Corporation]] delivered its **first Tier-1 document production** in the investigation — "Production 001," 26 responsive records on FOIA Items 1 and 4(c) — fulfilling the rolling production it promised in its 2026-05-22 [[2026-05 Conway Corporation Interim FOIA Response|interim response]]. The records open the utility-engineering, confidentiality, and early-timeline dimensions of [[Project Stratus]]. ## Sources - Cover email from Regulatory and Risk Management Director [[Chris Odom]] to [[Joshua Dunlap]], 2026-05-29 ([thread](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#all/19e41be6d2204d32)), attaching `ConwayCorp_Production_001_2026-05-29.zip` (26 records, ~18.3 MB). - Ingested production: [[city-conway/conway-corp-stratus-2026-05-29/_overview|Conway Corporation Project Stratus Production 001]] (raw at `raw/city-conway/conway-corp-stratus-2026-05-29/`). ## What happened Chris Odom's transmittal states the production "consists of **26 responsive records** identified during Conway Corporation's review to date," with "additional productions [that] may follow." The cover email carries no separate withholding log; the substance is in the documents. Grouped into four source pages: - [[Conway Corporation Project Stratus NDAs]] — an executed [[Conway Corporation]] ↔ [[Black & Veatch]] effluent-engineering Confidentiality Agreement (2025-05-05) and individual staff NDAs with the developer-side entity [[Spark Innovations, LLC]]. - [[Project Stratus Utilities Meetings and Site Visit]] — coordination from 2024-06-21 through the [[2024-10 Project Stratus Utilities Site Visit|October 2, 2024 site visit]] (attended by [[Arkansas Economic Development Commission|AEDC]]'s [[Raven Johnson]]) to the May 2026 findings-presentation scheduling. - [[Black & Veatch Effluent-Cooling Engineering for Project Stratus]] — the Reimbursement Agreement for the TBWWTP Evaluation, the water-quality data request, the PFAS work order, and the April 2026 Final Engineering Report transmittals. - [[Tupelo Bayou NPDES Permit and Conway Pretreatment Program]] — NPDES permit AR0051951 (Outfall 001 → Arkansas River), pretreatment ordinance O-12-08, and the utility service form. ## Significance - **First Tier-1 record of the Conway project's cooling-water engineering**, paid for by the developer under a Reimbursement Agreement and conducted under mutual NDA — see [[Tupelo Bayou Treated-Effluent Cooling]]. - **A new developer-side name, [[Spark Innovations, LLC]]**, distinct from the MOU's [[Forgelight Ventures, LLC]] — a new lead for [[T003 - Shell-LLC Principal Attribution for Forgelight and Willowbend|T003]]. - **The earliest dated Stratus reference moves to 2024-06-21**, and **[[Arkansas Economic Development Commission|AEDC]] is placed at the October 2024 site visit** — a Tier-1 AEDC link the City production lacked. - The production confirms the "no records" gap on the executed supply agreement (4b) and ratepayer cost allocation (4e); the Black & Veatch **Rate Analysis memorandum** (the 4(e) document) is referenced but unproduced. ## Notes This is the utility-side counterpart to the City of Conway's [[2026-05 City of Conway Produces Project Stratus Records|land-use production]] of 2026-05-26. Odom signaled "additional productions may follow"; the Final Engineering Report and Rate Analysis memorandum are the highest-value follow-on targets.
