SUBJECT: The Chemours Company FC, LLC - Fayetteville Works - Planned Use of
Hazardous Waste Deep Well Injection Facility
Dear Ms. Holman and Mr. George:
As you know, since June 2017, the Chemours Company FC, LLC ("Chemours') has been capturing a
number of wastewater streams from the IXM/Monomer area (which includes the vinyl ether
manufacturing units) at its Fayetteville, North Carolina facility ("Fayetteville Works') and
transporting those wastewaters for offsite incineration by a third party. The volume of the wastewater
captured for off-site disposal has increased considerably since Chemours first began capturing streams
from the DCM/Monomers area. Chemours currently captures for offsite disposal approximately
26,500 gallons per day of this wastewater.
Starting the week of November 13, Chemours intends to begin arranging to have this this wastewater
transported (by tanker truck and rail) for disposal at the permitted Class 1 hazardous waste deep well
injection facility operated by Texas Molecular in Deer Park, TX. Chemours had determined that this
method of transport and disposal will be compliant with all applicable legal requirements, will be
environmentally protective, and will be more resource effective than the current method.

arrange a call to discuss this matter if that would be helpful.
