They have a permit to dump water but not put it in the ditch where the pipe runs.
They need to get it to a body of water, not a ditch. Dumping into the drainage ditch or running a pipe in the drainage ditch requires a separate permit.
The water quality is also questionable. Tesla and the drainage company are at odds on the testing method.
At least that’s my understanding of the situation
- solderlocks 5mo agoDoesn't the article state that "The permit, a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System authorization known as TPDES, allowed up to 231,000 gallons of treated wastewater per day to be discharged into an unnamed ditch..."?
- wil421 5mo agoThey don’t own the drainage ditch. They can still dump the water into the local watershed/river whatever body of water per the permit you stated.
