Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 26, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over NYDIG DFM Felix-Lucero Facility in Bainville vicinity (unincorporated), Roosevelt County, Montana appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Power and water

Gas engines, combined limit 10,000 bhp (MAQP #5318-02), fueled by flare-destined field gas.

Notes on the record

About 6.7 miles west of Bainville (Sec. 9, T27N, R57E), Roosevelt County. The permit gives two inconsistent coordinate pairs: 47.98112,-104.17407 in Section I, and 48.112725,-104.36175 in the analysis. The analysis pair matches '6.7 miles west of Bainville' and Roosevelt County, so it is used here. Combined engine limit is 10,000 bhp. The analysis says NYDIG 'proposes to install up to four' 2,500 bhp engines, burning flare-destined field gas to power local data centers.
