Oklahoma DEQ explains that data centers may need air, water, wastewater or stormwater permits depending on their activities and infrastructure. An existing building using municipal services may have different requirements from a site with its own generation or wastewater facilities. Requirements are project-specific; there is no single statewide data-center permit established by this guidance.
