im less worried about the salt then the toxic acids and chemicals that will be released into the water. battery plants are nothing but toxic waste dumps for the areas around them 
i think this will be very very bad for the lake

This is not a battery plant. This is a graphite processing plant(which is 100% carbon). Even though the graphite will be used in battery production, it's totally different. Battery plants that caused the problems of pollution in the past were lead acid battery plants. Discharges of effluent from any industry have restrictive ranges set up in their permits that they have to adhere to. Parameters like salinity and pH cannot be drastically out of range from the receiving stream waters. The people quoted in the OP link are all known environmental activists trying to scare the hell out everyone.
