Opposition and litigation at this site
Yes. Organized local opposition to Wave Garden Macedonia Cryptomine in Macedonia, Columbia County, Arkansas is documented in the public record, without a lawsuit on file in the sources we track. Macedonia residents objected to continuous noise.
How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: opposed means documented, organized local opposition is the dominant signal on record.
Macedonia residents objected to continuous noise. John Ed Stewart, living 200-600 yards away, said 'It's this buzzing (when it is going) and - it never stops'; Devona Powell, about a mile away, said 'It gets monotonous to listen to it.' Columbia County imposed a 65-decibel limit by emergency ordinance on 2023-07-31, and Stewart recorded levels reaching 78 decibels.
Power and water
Sited off County Road 12 adjacent to an Entergy power supply.
The facility inquired about obtaining up to 200,000 gallons per month during hot months, which would make it the Dorcheat Rural Water Association's largest customer. Recorded in the units the source states; no monthly-to-daily conversion is made and reportedMgd is deliberately left unset, because the figure is an inquiry about availability rather than a reported withdrawal.
Notes on the record
Coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for the Macedonia community in Columbia County; the site is described only as 'off County Road 12', so this is a community-level approximation, not the parcel. Land was purchased through Bismarck Land Holding LLC and the facility is operated by Wave Garden, LLC, per the Magnolia Reporter's reading of county land records; the two entities' relationship is not further documented in the source. Status is as of April 2024 reporting and has NOT been re-verified - the mine may have changed hands, expanded or closed since. Confidence 'reported': the second citation is a reprint of the first, so this is effectively single-outlet sourcing.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
