American Battery Metals files environmental and contruction permits for lithium battery recycling pilot plant in Nevada

American Battery Metals Corporation (OTCQB:ABML), soon to be known as American Battery Technology Company has submitted three new permit applications to the city of Fernley, Nevada and the Nevada Division of Environmental protection to continue progress in permitting and constructing its lithium battery recycling pilot plant, the company announced. 

“This past Monday, April 26, our design team, led by Miles Construction, submitted a mass grading permit application to the City of Fernley,” lead on-site project manager Chuck Leber said.  “We also submitted a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Surface Area Disturbances (SAD) permit application to Nevada Division of Environmental Protection to continue the permitting process for our lithium battery recycling pilot plant.”

A SAD permit is the precursor to getting a mass grading permit approved by the city of Fernley. It ensures dust from the lithium battery pilot plant construction process will be controlled so as to not adversely impact local air quality, the company said.

A mass grading permit will enable Miles Construction to prepare ABTC’s 12.44- acre pilot plant site in Fernley for underground construction work foundation building.

The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a living document that will be kept on the pilot plant site in Fernley, Nevada to ensure the facility does not pollute stormwater.

American Battery has built a clean technology platform that increases the production of primary metals used in the batteries that power electric cars, grid storage applications, consumer electronics and tools. The green platform creates a circular economy for battery metals that champions ethical and environmentally sustainable sourcing of critical materials.
