    It’s not though. TCEQ authorized a discharge water permit and has investigated the water discharge. Now, if people are being dishonest, that’s another story, that will likley be somthing we find out some years in the future. Your not wrong about algae blooms. Though, the lab didnt sample the water straight from the discharge source but further down the ditch. And thats all farmland around there. Farms use ammonia nitrate, as fertilizer.

      Neither hexavalent chromium nor arsenic appears in Tesla’s TCEQ discharge permit as an allowable pollutant. Neither was tested for during TCEQ’s February investigation.

      What it did not do, explicitly, was grant Tesla the right to use public or private property for wastewater conveyance.

      Oh wow the state of Texas authorized it? Well in that case I’m sure it’s fine! They’re renowned for their environmental safety and concern.
