The rendering of Micron's proposed megafab facility in Clay, NY shows the initial plans for what the campus will look like.

The $100 billion dollar Micron project requires the creation of a new industrial sewer district to manage wastewater coming from the semiconductor plants. The specialized sewer districts are designed to manage high-volume, highly concentrated waste to safeguard public water systems. In this case, it would expand the ability to protect water resources as the plant is expanded.  A public hearing is set for Tuesday at the Onondaga County Legislature at noon.
