Straight-line distances. Nearest named waterway via the USGS National Hydrography Dataset; nearest transmission line via HIFLD. Baseline water stress and groundwater trend describe the surrounding hydrological basin (WRI Aqueduct 4.0, CC BY 4.0) — not this facility’s measured water use. Principal-aquifer system underlying the location (USGS, mapped at 1:2,500,000 — regional context, not site hydrogeology).
Natural gas-fired combustion turbine intended as a peaker: MidAmerican expects it to run when load is at its peak, estimated at less than 10 percent of the year. Announced as part of MidAmerican's long-term generation plan to meet projected Iowa economic and customer demand growth. No offtaker is recorded — this is utility peaking capacity for the system, not contracted data center supply.
MidAmerican briefed the Adair County Board of Supervisors, which acknowledged receipt of a notice; no formal county approvals or conditions are described in the cited coverage, and no organised support or opposition was reported. The company projects approximately $7 million in property tax revenues over the plant's service life and says the permanent roles pay $100,000 to $125,000 annually.
