>The company has racked up 112 notices of violations since 2019 for a variety of reasons, resulting in as much as 750 pounds of unmitigated air pollution per violation. The violations were frequent, recurring, and have negative impacts on health and the environment, the Air District’s executive director Philip Fine said on Thursday.
>Fine said he was asking the air district’s independent enforcement arm, its hearing board, to issue an abatement order to have a third party evaluate mitigation options and compel the company to follow an abatement plan.
>”The Air District is seeking this order to compel Tesla to address numerous recurring emissions violations at their Fremont facility paint shops,” Fine said. “Tesla’s repeated failure to comply with air quality regulations is unacceptable and increases the risk to public health.”
