Subject: GenX reporting/DEQ response?
Hi Jamie,
I'm reaching out to see if DEQ and/or Secretary Regan have a response to the StarNews' reporting in today's
paper and website (will be in tomorrow's paper) regarding the chemical GenX being found in the Cape Fear
River? I'm writing for Saturday's paper so any time tomorrow would work.
Here's a full collection of all of our reporting including the initial report and several follow-
ups: http://www.starnewsonline.com/topics/toxic-tap-water?start=2
A few of the questions I'm particularly interested in are:
Has DEQ taken or considered taking any additional steps beyond what it has been regarding GenX?
Was DEQ aware of GenX prior to the reporting and did staff have any concerns about its production
and/or presence in the state's waterways?
What steps would DEQ take to determine whether wrongdoing has been committed and, if it determined
there was, what kind of recourse would there be?

• Have DEQ officials heard from any local officials (New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender counties)
regarding GenX? How would you classify those conversations?
• Has DEQ been in touch with Chemours regarding GenX and its presence in the Cape Fear River?
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Adam
