Tesla agrees to pay $1.5 million over hazardous waste violations
Tesla will pay several district attorney’s offices $1.5 million over violations of hazardous waste laws, per an agreement it reached this week in San Joaquin County Superior Court. The payment stems from Tesla’s handling, transporting and disposing of hazardous materials from its facilities in California. Tesla knew about policies and procedures for handling that waste and violated the law by disposing of waste at unauthorized spots. It also failed to determine whether waste created at its facilities was hazardous and didn’t properly label and store it.
