Short version they have no standard for GenX or associated compounds. They have done extensive work onPFOSand

The state rep. was not able to verify (yet) that GenX is (or is not) produced in NJ.

Subject: DWR plans for 1,4 dioxane in the Cape Fear River basin
Quick talking points:
* 1,4 — Dioxane was included in EPA's Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UMCR)
w In looking at data from across river basins in NIC, the Cape Fear River basin levels made us concentrate on it first.
Report link onDEC\xvebsite:
* D\NR is using authority under lSA N[AC 02H. 0508(b)(1) to require additional sampling at facilities of concern
based on the study.
We have been actively working with Reidsville, Greensboro, Asheboro and Pittsborotoencouragesource
reduction—theyhavebeenm/orkingxvith
the facilities that discharge to their treatment systems to see if they can reduce the load by product substitution,
pretreatment or other methods.
Met with Reidsville a few weeks ago, and they have agreed to enter a consent agreement to share their
voluntary data but indicated they will not
agree tohave the monitoring asapermit condition.
The Unifi manufacturing facility was one point source thought to be a high contributor.
Understand that Reidsville isworking with them.
Last Friday Dr. Knappe mentioned that recent data seems to indicate lower levels in the Reidsville area.
We have not confirmed how/why but will continue to work with them.
* Our D\NR lab has received lab equipment in the last month and isworking on certifying at test method. ([he
current method used isnot a
wastewater method). PermitteesvviU berequired to use the certified method when it is available.
w We will continue to work with WWT facilities and industries on source reductions. VVewant tosee how our
