# Jim Wise Jim Wise ([email protected], 501-682-0663) is the DEQ Water Quality Ecologist Supervisor handling the CWA § 401 certifications for both hyperscale water files in this corpus: Project Boar (Willowbend) and Project Pyramid (Groot). On 2026-02-12 he closed the Boar pre-file review and invited the 401 application ("DEQ appreciates the quick response to our request for additional information"), and he is the DEQ contact on the joint USACE/DEQ public notice MVM-2024-216. ## Role and affiliations Ecologist Supervisor, E&E | Environmental Quality | Water Quality. ## Appearances in the corpus - [[Project Boar CWA 401 Pre-File and Application]] — pre-file reviewer; requested site maps "showing the boundaries of the construction site, building locations, and depicting the water features"; recipient of the corrected impact exhibit (2026-06-10). - [[Project Pyramid USACE Public Notice and Water Quality Track]] — DEQ contact on PN MVM-2024-216; recipient of the Groot 401 certification mailing. ## Notes The same reviewer across both sites makes the Boar/Pyramid framing asymmetry ("light industrial complex" vs "data center campus") visible within one office.
