Hyundai's Metaplant America in Georgia has encountered significant wastewater violations, particularly exceeding permitted levels for zinc and copper, prompting the City of Savannah to halt acceptance of its wastewater. This issue emerged shortly after Hyundai began discharge to Savannah's water treatment facility in September 2024. Following a Notice of Violation in October, Hyundai ceased discharges and is actively investigating the cause. The plant is currently using specialized contractors for wastewater transport while working with local environmental agencies to rectify the situation.
Hyundai's car factory in Georgia has run into a wastewater issue that may affect production as its discharge exceeded limits for zinc and copper.
The City of Savannah issued a permit to accept HMGMA's industrial wastewater, but a Notice of Violation was issued after permit limits were exceeded.
HMGMA immediately stopped discharging wastewater and is performing a root cause analysis while utilizing specialized contractors for off-site transport.
The City is coordinating with Georgia's EPD and Bryan County to facilitate corrective actions regarding Hyundai's wastewater management.
