Since nearly all government and commercial data centers have generator back-ups, how are emissions from generators controlled?
On assumes that transient emissions, e.g., from a starter motor, follow less stringent guidelines. And if the generators are diesel, they also don't use spark plugs.
This is also consistent with having some urea on site for treating diesel exhaust.
Is there any RF sigint at all done at the Utah site? It could all well be just a big crunch and storage facility. It would help if we had a good fiber map of the general area. I suspect that the NSA is doing a lot of decentral signal prefiltering and processing at the network edge, and only uses large central facilities if they're unavoidable.
