Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of October 11, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Tech Vault Data Center in South Burlington, Chittenden County, Vermont 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.
If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.
Power and water
DCK (2011): the facility uses 'water-side economization to cool the facility for much of the year', with APC by Schneider in-row cooling units and a contained rear plenum. Reported PUE is about 1.27-1.45. The source does not say whether heat is rejected evaporatively or through a closed loop.

Notes on the record
Vermont's first commercial, LEED-certified (Silver, for both the building and data center operations), carrier-neutral colocation facility, per the operator's own site, independently corroborated on address by the Lake Champlain Chamber's member profile. 39,000 sq ft of data center space; a 500KW APC Symetra UPS system and an 800KW diesel generator for backup power. Compliance: SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, CMMC. Serves state/federal government, military, legal, financial, medical, educational, manufacturing and logistics clients. In 2013 the State of Vermont awarded Tech Vault a long-term data center services agreement (per Vermont Business Magazine's own headline; the article itself could not be retrieved as of September 2026, so contract length and scope are not independently confirmed beyond that headline). No numeric MW capacity was stated as of September 2026. Precision is approximate because the address includes a specific suite number (#165) within a larger building (OSM building match: way/620853192).

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
