Despite all EPA efforts, the semiconductor industry in the US still imposes itself on the environment in nasty ways. https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2022/02/environmental-commission-looks-into-acid-waste-spill-at-samsung-facility/ https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2022/02/environmental-... > Samsung’s semiconductor facility spilled a large amount of acidic wastewater into its stormwater pond and into a tributary of Harris Branch Creek in Northeast Austin, killing virtually all aquatic life within the 1.5-mile stretch. As much as 763,000 gallons of the acidic waste was discharged into the waterways for a period of up to 106 days.
