Today, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (Georgia EPD) approved the permits for the four wells to support Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) and related developments.
We thank the Georgia EPD for its rigorous analysis of the impact this development will have on the area’s water supply. After thoroughly reviewing the science and considering all input from the community, the Georgia EPD concluded that the four wells can meet the interim water needs.
We appreciate that any time new wells are proposed, nearby residents will be concerned about the impact on their homes and properties, and we hope they will be reassured by the depth of the analysis the Georgia EPD has provided. It validates what we have seen since we started analyzing this site 10 years ago: there is enough water to support industry and agriculture while protecting and preserving the environment. We are excited about the estimated $7.59 billion in investment HMGMA will bring.
