Town in Texas Sues Marathon Digital Over ‘Intolerably Loud’ Noise of BTC Miners
Residents of a town in Texas are suing a publicly listed Bitcoin ( BTC ) mining firm over noise pollution.
According to a lawsuit filed earlier this month by Citizens Concerned About Wolf Hollow, a community group for residents of Granbury in Hood County, Texas, a cryptocurrency mine currently operated by Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) is causing “intolerably loud noise conditions.”
“The excessive noise conditions created by Marathon constitute a nuisance that invades and substantially interferes with the use and enjoyment of Citizens Concerned About Wolf Hollow’s Members’ respective properties by causing extreme discomfort and annoyance to Citizens Concerned About Wolf Hollow Members attempting to use and enjoy their properties.”
The lawsuit says that the residents of the affected town are being “emotionally and physically harmed by the noise” from Marathon’s Bitcoin mining activities on an “almost daily and nightly basis.”
“The Granbury community was once pastoral and rural with very few noises that disrupted the peacefulness of the countryside, much less the peacefulness inside residents’ homes. Now, the MARA Cryptomine’s continuous operations have destroyed that general silence, along with Members’ peace of mind. Marathon’s operation of the MARA Cryptomine will continue in the future if not enjoined and Citizens Concerned About Wolf Hollow Members have no adequate remedy at law for their injuries.”
According to the lawsuit, the construction of the crypto mine in question started in April of 2022 but the ownership changed hands several times after kicking off operations. Marathon Digital Holdings took over the crypto mine in April this year.
Among other requests, the plaintiffs are seeking a permanent injunction barring Marathon from “creating, causing, or allowing any unreasonable noise from its operations” at its Bitcoin mining facility in Granbury.
