  1. I’m sure people have asked this before, but wouldn’t it be better to locate this somewhere that has the existing infrastructure like within Indianapolis instead of a greenfield development contributing to countless issues and sprawl? There are plenty of areas within Marion County that could withstand redevelopment, and with it being the largest city in the state, it would be both centrally located for potential workers and upgrading existing infrastructure is most of the time cheaper in the long run.

    1. On paper that sounds like a good idea but due to zoning, costly real estate, and variable water supply the Lebanon location was chosen. There are pros and cons to every location so people would complain no matter where LEAP landed. The biggest issue here is water and future law changes that affect how we use it. Indiana needs to complete these studies and work with state agencies (scientist) to get better understanding of the resource before it’s too late, and we create problems like the western states. Building pipelines all over the place is not best solution.

  2. We spend a year talking about piping in water from the Wabash River, then overnight they flip the script and are going to simply build a pipeline to take water from Westfield, the state’s fastest growing city, instead?

    1. For microchip manufacturing it’s used for cooling and washing the chips. The majority of the water (98% or more) is supposedly going to be discharged into a local stream that leads to Eagle Creek. It’s called an inter basin transfer. Not enough scientific research in Indiana has been completed to determine the pros and cons of this.

    2. We can only hope, once up and running, the tercentenary and high tech treatment is clean enough to to recycle the vast majority of the water for a continual reuse.

    1. Reservoirs require buying a bunch of land, getting plans approved, and time to build and then fill it. Pipeline construction is much, much faster.

  3. There is no stream or ditch within the LEAP district or immediate Lebanon area that discharges to Eagle Creek; the streams flow northwest to Sugar Creek.
    Roughly halfway between Lebanon and Whitestown the streams & ditches flow southeast, so the only way to get it to Eagle Creek is to pump southeast to at least that point…another pipeline

  4. This project is a joke. A pipeline will also require eminent domain for an easement. I agree with the reservoir idea. Why can’t this water be reused if it’s for cooling and washing?
    Government job … naturally not thought out

    1. The land required for a pipeline is far less than the land required for a reservoir. It took years for IWC to assemble the land for Geist and Morse.
