Please provide the information requested in our letter of July 21, 2017 by August 30, 2017 and
sooner if possible.
Additionally, and as we discussed in last week's meeting, the State of North Carolina has
requested that Chemours provide access to information that has been submitted to EPA as
Confidential Business Information (CBI). The State reiterates its request for Chemours to
provide DEQ with the following information, or alternatively, to give consent for EPA to
provide such information to DEQ:
• Information, including CBI, submitted to EPA by Chemours or its predecessors related
to the TSCA chemical registration for manufacturing of GenX at the Fayetteville, North
Carolina facility;
• Information, including CBI, submitted to EPA by Chemours or its predecessors related
to all TSCA chemical registrations at the Fayetteville, North Carolina facility;
• All chemical analyses, including CBI, conducted by Chemours or its predecessors for all
manufacturing areas and wastewater outfalls 001 and 002 described in the current
NPDES permit; and
• All human health, toxicity, and aquatic life studies or related information, including CBI,
submitted to EPA by Chemours or its predecessors relating to chemical processes at the
Fayetteville facility.
Please provide a response to this request for TSCA related information by August 23, 2017,
indicating whether Chemours will provide the requested information or consent to EPA's
release of this information to DEQ.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
William F. Lane
