The company allegedly released untreated water onto Las Vegas roads, spilled muck from its trucks, and began drilling before obtaining the proper permits from environmental agencies, as per a cease-and-desist letter from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP).
Elon Musk’s drilling company, Boring Co., has been accused of committing nearly 800 separate environmental violations in Las Vegas over the past two years by Nevada authorities.
ProPublica reports that the company allegedly released untreated water on onto construction sites and into storm drains, spilled muck from its trucks, and began drilling before obtaining the proper permits from environmental agencies, citing a cease-and-desist letter from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP). Neither Musk nor the Boring Co. have publicly addressed the allegations as of writing, though a state spokesperson told ProPublica that the company intends to dispute the violation letter.
