There isn't any significant levels of mercury in the water. The "high level" comes from a typo. https://www.tceq.texas.gov/downloads/permitting/wastewater/titl

  It's completely irrelevant: You need to file a permit where you demonstrate that; because not-contaminating water is essential not only for drinking but also all our food sources its integrity doesn't work on a "trust me bro" system. But given that he has already illegally released toxins for years (at Fremont paint factory), doesn't really give the impression he cares about complying with regulations, presumably didn't do the work necessary for the permitting process, and has a general disregard for process/safety/etc it would be pretty surprising if there weren't illegal levels of substance discharge.

    SpaceX does not own any "Fremont paint factory". We're not talking about "he" here. We're talking about SpaceX.

      I very clearly wrote "he" not "SpaceX".

  Even if it is a typo, isn’t 0.113 above the limit of 0.005? More than 22x the limit. Natural gas has significant levels of mercury in it apparently, so it’d make sense to see levels like this. My other question is how is the environmental report so screwed up? It looks like it’s mostly typos
