OSM way/29827954 · operator not recorded

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

Each line marks a step in this site’s life — a rung, in the register’s terms — with the public document that records it, 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. Where three or more lines would differ only in their distance from the pin — the same step, source and date — they share one line, and each record is listed under it.

   Each by the name and organisation PeeringDB lists for it (the PeeringDB list WAPR serves, generated 2026-09-14), nearest first. The names are PeeringDB's own; WAPR does not title this building from them. Interconnection facilities: Colocation and interconnection sites that network operators register publicly. Enrichment only — it over-represents colo and under-represents hyperscale.

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.

Where it sits

retail utility territory

overlapping territories — NSTAR ELECTRIC COMPANY or FITCHBURG GAS & ELEC LIGHT CO or MASSACHUSETTS BAY TRANS AUTHORITY (3 territories overlap here; the layer carries no certification field, so which one serves the site is not stated)layer vintage 2023-08

nearest transmission line of 230 kV or more

1,239 m · 345 kV · NSTAR ELECTRIC COMPANY

principal aquifer (regional aquifer system)

no principal aquifer mapped under the point

nearest named waterway

Charles River · 1,371 m

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

MA0000002511903104

INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES · Synthetic Minor Emissions · Permanently Closed · No Violation Identified · ECHO record (82 m)

From EPA's ICIS-Air, the federal compliance system every state reports permitted sources into. The permit itself is held by the state register the id encodes.

Emissions on record

NEI 2023

EVOCATIVE · INTERNAP CORP: 90.6 t NOX · 19.5 t CO · 7.03 t PM25 · 7.4 t VOC · 5.96 t SO2 (distance 128 m)

Tons per year accepted into EPA's National Emissions Inventory for the facility — the only national per-facility emissions number for the sector, only as complete as what each state submitted and WAPR's data-centre filter.

Water discharge

No 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.

Generators within 1 km (EIA)

plant 66151

CoreSite - Somerville · Bloom Energy · 1 generator(s) · Other Natural Gas · 3.6 MW nameplate · first operating 2020-09 · 27,810 MWh from 2025-01 to 2025-12 (capacity factor 0.882) · EIA plant (57 m)

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.
