Where Meras 1020 additive is 1-2% borate and <1% lye, it really sounds closest to laundry detergent. See https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/News-Articles/City-Manager/1501-Page-Mill-Road-Incident-Update https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/News-Articles/City-Manager/15...
So in total they pumped 900+ gallons of water from the drain, in which there were 6 gallons of Meras 1020 additive, which is ~12oz borax and 3oz lye crystals. So like 2 cups of this white powder https://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/ https://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/
Where Tesla did wrong was dumping the cooling water to the street (storm drain), same thing going to the sewer would been fine.
