Rivian's battery partnership with Samsung falls apart over 'unacceptable' demands by the electric truck maker

Instead of creating a battery development and manufacturing partnership with Rivian, Samsung created such a joint-venture with Stellantis, as the maker of the R1T electric pickup went into a production delay spiral. Not only couldn't Rivian commit on purchase volumes, but it also wanted "unacceptable" technology transfers.

"Andrea Gray Attorney
Applicant is unable to provide all the information required under the Groundwater Recharge Ordinance at this time and respectfully requests a variance to allow it to obtain zoning approval without the information being provided. Requiring the detailed design plans and sediment control plans listed under the Groundwater Recharge Ordinance would cause Applicant a substantial hardship given the unique nature of this project and its sheer size"

What exactly do they think will happen to us? This is already causing significant hard



Northeast Georgia Regional Commission
DRI3560 - Final Report

"The proposed plant would convert rural agricultural land into a high‐impact, high‐ intensity development. A plant of this size would negatively impact the groundwater recharge area by converting millions of square feet into impervious surfaces. In addition, the DRI submittal noted that the plant is expected to generate "some hazardous waste, such as: paints, solvents, adhesives, batteries, [...] that are typical of such manufacturing facilities." These types of waste could be particularly harmful to the local groundwater recharge area as well. No mitigation proposal was provided; the applicant indicated that mitigation and disposal plans are currently being developed."

"The applicant estimates the project would generate 6,716 tons of solid waste annually at full buildout and that sufficient landfill capacity exists to handle this waste. Hazardous waste, including paints, solvents, adhesives, batteries, etc. that are typical of automotive manufacturing would be generated. The applicant states that, "Disposal plans are being developed at this time, but at a minimum, such plans will meet local, state, and federal requirements." Given that the entire site is within a groundwater recharge area with sensitive environmental resources, meeting minimum requirements may not be sufficient to protect residents and local environmental resources. The suitability of these disposal plans should be confirmed prior to approval of the project and long‐term monitoring of local water, soil, and/or air quality, as applicable, is recommended."

Recommend? Entirely independent monitoring should be a requirement, and at the first sign of environmental damage the company should be required to pay to clean it up without delay.

What an absolute shame! That was the best pick up made and I'm actually in a position where I might have been able to afford to buy one. EVERYTHING  that comes out of south  Korea is JUNK! (kia, samsungs exploding batteries. all LG products) why on Earth would you have a product made there? It's not like the truck is cheap to begin, with so people we just pay a thousand or two more if you had the batteries made in Chicago by a fat balding man! United States products used to be the best in the world and now we quit making them? Thanks to Bill Clinton signing NAFTA into law started this whole slippery slope and now we're at the bottom of the hill!

Henry Ford was a terrible person that didnt care about his employees and what he produced was nothing in comparison as far as detail and technology goes. Your comparing a can opener factory to a computer factory. Also sounds like america cant keep up with korea, not korea making a bad product.

Oh yeah Henry Ford supported the Nazis.

Expecting a company to come up with details on waste disposal before the property is zoned for industrial use is putting the cart before the horse.
