Prime SANTA CLARA DATA CENTER
OSM way/209073659 · operator tag: Prime
WAPR is a public register of where AI computing physically sits. This page is one building that volunteers have mapped as a data centre — the map records what kind of building it is, not what runs inside it, so it may host AI, cloud or ordinary corporate servers. Everything below comes from OpenStreetMap, the volunteer-made public map, and is republished as recorded — including the operator tag, which is what mappers entered rather than a check of who runs the building today. Fields nobody recorded are shown as “not recorded”, never guessed. What WAPR is →

This record is what OpenStreetMap contributors have mapped and tagged as a data centre — nothing more. WAPR republishes it verbatim with provenance; fields the mappers did not record are shown as such, never inferred.

What the public record says
feed checked 2026-09-14 05:15 UTC (oldest of 6 instruments)how this is known
as old as the oldest of Mapped facilities, Interconnection facilities, Crane filings, Virginia regulated sites, Permitted water discharge, Generators at sites (EIA-860M/923)Each line is a public document that marks a step in this site’s life — a rung, in the register’s terms — with its date and what kind of date it is: the document’s own, a state the record shows already held on that date, or the day WAPR first saw the record.
- 2026-01-03on or beforecrane notices filed beside it — FAA obstruction evaluation case file: the first filing within 1 km of any register object of this crane site (the objects sharing its name, operator and country, each within 3 km of another member), one calendar-year window (0 m from the pin)
21 filings within 1 km, last 2026-10-12, distinctive
FAA case files are read one calendar year at a time and the 2025 FAA year file was joined against a different register than the 2026 file the crane dates come from, so a filing near an object one register lacks cannot be counted — re-derive it (collectors/faa_part77.py --rederive 2025), so the first 2026 filing cannot be shown to be when this site's filings began

The register’s rungs are: mapped · listed in the network registry · crane notices filed beside it · on an air regulator's books · holds a discharge permit · generators recorded emitting · a generator within 250 m produced power · interconnection · operating load. Rungs not shown for this site are rungs no public document has put it on. Interconnection and operating load are never written until a primary record exists.

- USGS Principal Aquifers of the United States (1:2,500,000) (US Government work, public domain) — regional aquifer system under the point — not site hydrogeology, not a statement that the site pumps

- HIFLD Electric Retail Service Territories, 2023-08 vintage (ORNL / DOE-CESER; per-polygon SOURCE = EIA-860/861 + the utility's filed map) (None (Public Use) per the item's licenceInfo) — served by the NTIA National Broadband Availability Map ArcGIS mirror; HIFLD retired the public layer in 2025
- USGS National Hydrography Dataset, Flowline — Small Scale (layer 4), named features only (US Government work, public domain) — straight-line distance to the nearest NAMED stream or river; a reading beyond 30 km carries beyond_30km, and a site with none in the widest search carries no waterway
Straight-line joins to federal layers: HIFLD transmission and retail service territories (2023 vintage), USGS principal aquifers (1:2.5M), USGS NHD named flowlines. They say what surrounds the site, never what it draws, pumps or discharges. A territory says who sells retail power there; a line passing a site is not a line serving it.
Air permit
feed checked 2026-11-01 09:18 UTC data permit status as EPA's ECHO held it on 2026-11-01No air-permit source within 500 m carries the data-centre sector code in ICIS-Air. WAPR reads only the ICIS-Air sources a state has coded NAICS 518210 or SIC 7374, so this is not proof the site has no permit.
Emissions on record
feed checked 2026-11-02 03:25 UTC data emissions in inventory year 2023 · ended 2023-12-31 fetched 2026-09-15No NEI 2023 facility is linked to this site; 11 within 475 m are credited to 9 other mapped sites. The register's region for this site is not a state, so no state's coverage of the file is shown. The file does not say whether a site missing from it fell below the reporting threshold or was not submitted, and WAPR reads only the facilities its filter selects — the filter is under How this is known.

How this is known
WAPR's filter for the inventory file: primary NAICS code 518210, or a site name matching DATA ?CENT (case-insensitive)
Water discharge
feed checked 2026-11-01 09:21 UTC data monitoring periods from 2025-10-31 to 2026-10-31 fetched 2026-11-01No discharge permit coded to the data-centre sector within 500 m. Most cooling water leaves as vapour and to the sewer, not through an outfall, so a site with no discharge permit on record is not a site that uses no water.

Grid-connected generators of 1 MW or more within 1 km, from Form EIA-860M, with monthly output from Form EIA-923. Standby gensets that show 0 MWh did not run. Islanded plants are absent by rule — they are not obliged to file.
