> Neither hexavalent chromium nor arsenic appears in Tesla’s TCEQ discharge permit as an allowable pollutant

Also the fact that this pipe was not included in the permit is a problem:

> What it did not do, explicitly, was grant Tesla the right to use public or private property for wastewater conveyance. The drainage district that manages the ditch the pipe was discharging into was never notified that the permit existed. Its workers found out the way drainage district workers in any small Texas county find out about things: by walking the ditch and seeing something new.

A journalist claiming that some government was never notified of something by some other government does not pass the whiff test. We have no idea what the internal process is for communication between them.
