Elon Musk: aiming for Mars, but sometimes ends up with Mercury?
Elon Musk's SpaceX is disputing claims that its rockets are polluting water in Texas thanks to the deluge system used to stop Starship ripping up the launchpad on launch.
Furthermore, the company noted that it was covered by the Texas Multi-Sector General Permit. It said it had explicitly asked both the TCEQ and the US Environmental Protection Agency if the operation of the deluge system should stop but was told it could continue. SpaceX has also disputed a claim that the wastewater discharged at the site contains high levels of mercury:"All samples to-date have in fact shown either no detectable levels of mercury whatsoever or found in very few cases levels significantly below the limit the EPA maintains for drinking water."shows that mercury concentration in a sample taken from one outfall location, at 113 µg/L, is quite a bit higher than the two µg/L in the EPA regulations.
