Updated: PREVIOUS STORY: Bastrop community members voice concerns over The Boring Company's plans to dump wastewater into river
The recent violations were for things like failure to install and maintain effective erosion controls and discharging stormwater associated with industrial activities without a permit.
According to TCEQ documents, the violations have since been resolved. They happened after the company filed a request with TCEQ to dump 140,000 gallons of treated wastewater daily into the Colorado River.
It's a move a packed house of neighbors spoke against in March, in fear of them not following permitting rules.
"We share groundwater here and live right next door," Ambrose said. "So it's really frustrating and worrying to see how careless they are with these laws that protect our water."
The treated wastewater dumping request is still pending. TCEQ says it's still going through its process to determine what the punishment would be for the most recent violations.
KVUE reached out to The Boring Company for a statement but we haven’t heard back yet.
