# David Essex David Essex (`[email protected]`) is a [[Google LLC]] employee CC'd throughout the November 2025 pre-draft review of [[GROOT LLC]]'s air permit 2507-AOP-R0 — the Olsson↔DEQ exchanges over specific conditions, emission-rate tables, and opacity-testing language (`Binder1.pdf`). His presence is the first DEQ-channel record of Google personnel inside the named Pyramid entity's permitting. ## Role and affiliations Google (no title appears in the record). ## Appearances in the corpus - [[Groot Air Permit Pre-Draft Correspondence]] — CC on the "Pre-Draft Air Permit" threads (Nov 6–12, 2025) alongside Jim Timmons and Cassie Johnson of [[Olsson]]. ## Notes Groot's Google association is independently established in this corpus (see [[Google LLC]], [[2025-09 Google Data Center Water-Use Registration]]); this record adds personnel-level participation. It concerns **Groot**, not the bracketed Forgelight/Willowbend/Spark shells — recorded as a [[T003 - Shell-LLC Principal Attribution for Forgelight and Willowbend|T003]] input, not an un-bracketing trigger.
