# AVAIO Little Rock Water Permitting Records The **AVAIO / Project Leo construction-water file** in the item-6 supplemental: `HQJ-KPDZ-JMV8F-v1-SUBMISSION.pdf` (the STAA application, signed 2026-01-27), `Email correspondence.pdf` and `Correspondence.pdf` (the CGP NOI correction/issuance thread, Feb 2026), `Construction Permit Modification-HQN-AP0Z-K08T3 - AVAIO Little Rock.pdf` (June 2026 status inquiry), `F000334O.pdf`/`H00025C2.pdf` (mail-in certifications), `Teams Message for ADP Little Rock Data Hub, LLC.pdf` (reviewer summary), and the `AVAIO LR checklist.xlsx` reviewer checklist. Mostly complementary to [[AVAIO Little Rock SEEK Construction-Stormwater Records]] (the SEEK-side documents); this adds the correspondence and the signed forms. ## Key takeaways 1. **An AVAIO principal signs as Responsible Official — with the corporate stack on display.** The STAA (HQJ-KPDZ-JMV8F) names **[[Kevin Murphy]], Vice President** ([email protected]) as Responsible Official and [[Tom Nesel]] as Cognizant Official; permittee **[[ADP Little Rock Data Hub, LLC]]** (DE; AR filing 811548146). Compare the produced SoS printout: Murphy is the SPV's "Incorporator/Organizer" **and** "Managing Member." 2. **The work authorized**: "Installation of access roads with permanent culverts and riprap pads" — three crossings of unnamed tributaries to **Fish Creek** (ultimately the Arkansas River), 203/348/136 feet of disturbance, 668 yd³ of native material, < 1 year, $600 fee; site contact Jeff Meeker (W.G. Yates); related USACE permit **SWL-2025-00064 (Nationwide)** (`HQJ-KPDZ-JMV8F-v1-SUBMISSION.pdf`, pp. 1–7). 3. **CGP coverage issued 2026-02-26** for NOI HQH-W3D5-NXBSY ("ADP Little Rock Data Hub, LLC - CGP Notice of Intent"; Kimley-Horn's Nate Bachelor ↔ DEQ's Nghi Ngo). The reviewer summary records the site at **296.4 total acres / 80 disturbed**. 4. **A construction-permit modification is pending as of 2026-06-01**: submission **HQN-AP0Z-K08T3**, filed 5/8/2026, assigned to Kaile Johnson, "sent for management review" with no timeline (`Construction Permit Modification….pdf`, p. 1) — the most recent Leo water-side activity in the corpus. 5. Together with the air-side record, the asymmetry stands: Leo's **construction-phase** water permits advance routinely while the **operational** questions (air permit, cooling-water source) remain unfiled/unnamed. ## People and orgs mentioned - [[Kevin Murphy]]; [[Tom Nesel]]; [[Kimley-Horn]] (Nate Bachelor); Nghi (Sally) Ngo, Kaile Johnson, Terry Liu, Ryan Grandgenett (DEQ); Jeff Meeker (W.G. Yates); [[ADP Little Rock Data Hub, LLC]]; [[AVAIO Digital Partners]]. ## Concepts invoked - STAA; [[Nationwide Permit]] (SWL-2025-00064); construction stormwater (ARR150000). ## Cross-references - [[AVAIO Little Rock SEEK Construction-Stormwater Records]] — the SEEK-document half (STAA-26-047 / ARR158986); this page holds the correspondence. - [[Identifying the Unnamed Cooling-Water Data Centers]] — the operational-water gap unchanged by this production. ## Open questions / follow-ups - What the HQN-AP0Z-K08T3 modification changes (scope/acreage?) — the submission form itself is not in this production; watch SEEK.
