From the meeting
On July 22, 2026 the Board received an appeal of DEQ's June 22, 2026 Final Decision issuing Montana Air Quality Permit No. 5537-00 for the proposed NYDIG DFM Data Center in Richland County. The appeal is still at the hearing-request stage and challenges both the permit and the environmental assessment.
This is an active pre-hearing air permit dispute tied to a continuously operating data center using natural-gas-fired engines.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Montana Department of Environmental Quality issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Montana Department of Environmental Quality's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Montana Department of Environmental Quality before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
