During a House hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez presented two jars of brown water she said had been collected near a Meta data center in Morgan County, Georgia, after the facility was built. The representative addressed Assistant EPA Administrator Jessica Kramer directly during the session and described conditions affecting families in the surrounding rural area.
The exchange took place as Kramer appeared before the House committee in her role as assistant administrator for water at the EPA. Ocasio-Cortez used the jars to illustrate her questions about water quality in the area following construction of the data center. The hearing focused on EPA oversight of water resources in regions where large industrial facilities have been developed.
