US Army Corps of Engineers to reassess Hyundai's EV plant permit in Georgia over water supply concerns.
The US Army Corps of Engineers will reassess its environmental permit for Hyundai's $7.6B EV plant in Georgia following complaints that regulators failed to examine the plant's potential impact on the region's water supply. The Ogeechee Riverkeeper claims state and local agencies applied for the permit without mentioning Hyundai's plan to withdraw 6.6M gallons daily from the underground aquifer, a significant drinking water source. The reassessment comes amid concerns about the factory's effects on natural springs, wetlands, tributaries, and streams.
