Questions for Chemours
Below is a sample of questions that New Hanover County is asking The Chemours Company for the purposes of informing the public:
What were the conditions under the TSCA consent order granted to DuPont relative to the manufacturing, processing and distribution of GenX? Is there an
order associated with Chemours use of the chemical compound?
Were there any limitations under the consent order in regards to discharge of GenX?
What, if any, responsibility for use of the compound remained with DuPont? Or did it all transfer to Chemours?
Why did Chemours install abatement technology when it did? What does it do? If it was intended to recover or recycle GenX, why is it still showing up in the
water?
How long does GenX last in water? Does it stay in the same chemical form? Does.it sit on the bottom of the river?
Did Chemours know it was discharging GenX before it installed abatement technology?
What systems are in place to routinely monitor discharge of GenX into the water? Did monitoring continue after the installation of the abatement technology?
Do you have data that demonstrates reduction in the discharge of GenX since the abatement technology was installed?
Do any permits held by Chemours allow for the discharge of GenX into the river?
Is Chemours currently discharging GenX into the river?
What other materials are being discharged into the river? Are all items regulated?
Is there a cumulative measure of how much GenX was discharged into the river before abatement technology and since?
Does DuPont and/or Chemours have health and safety data on GenX and any potential health risks to the drinking water supply at different levels of
concentration? Describe the toxicology of the impact to the body.
Does Chemours or DuPont know of any certainty or method to filter or otherwise remove GenX from the water supplies?
What is Chemours doing right now today and in the future to stop any GenX discharge?
What are Chemours and DuPont doing to advance clean-up of GenX in the water supply as of now?
Has DuPont and/or Chemours received any type of notification from any regulatory body involving the discharge of GenX? If so, what are the details of
this/these notification(s)?
Have any local governments made DuPont and/or Chemours aware of their concerns regarding the discharge of GenX? If so, which local governments?
