Through the results of the extended investigation, the authorities determined that although T.D.H and HVP knew that their employees were dumping, discharging, and burying catalysts containing hazardous ingredients in violation of regulations, they still agreed to let their employees continue to do so without applying any preventive or monitoring measures, leading to prolonged violations, with the total volume of hazardous waste illegally dumped, discharged, and buried reaching more than 117.9 tons.
