I wonder if this stuff is typical of large construction projects... Although I don't remember reading anything like this during the Tesla - Texas project which was equally large...

Looks like it's Richland County that is being hit with the fines, not Scout. The county owns the land and is doing the clearing according to the article.

That's cause Texas doesn't give a shit about the environment

This wasn’t Scout that got fined……It was Richland County.

You guys are right - I misread that... Seems odd that the county would own it, but that's probably a way for them to reap profit from allowing it to be built etc.

land management is actually a huge thing. You may be referring to California.

HAHA! That’s funny, I have lived in both places, and outside of the cities Texas has very little land regulation, California on the other hand has to many.

I love how they use the Scout name and "Pollution" in the headline. Just trying to generate clicks that an auto maker is polluting the environment.

Then the OP makes it even more dramatic, "Scout hit with environmental fines". Can someone change the title of the thread?

It's just info folks, not trying to be click-bait! I misread it as well, just passing info along as am hoping there are no delays in production.
