we have had a hard time finding adequate funding for well contamination, and I think it will be difficult
to find additional funding to expand the program to include surface water contamination (with the current
party in charge of oc0's budget), but it sure makes sense to look into it for low income North
Carolinians. z am confounded why chemours is not paying for this alternative water supply.
z raised the airborne issue during the snC hearing and it certainly makes sense to test *ells in the
area. z am copying oe0 staff for feedback on that request. Andy- what do we need to do to get wells
tested in the affected area?
Finally, z have copied Hope Taylor' executive director of clean water for NC, who is a terrific resource
and advocate on all matters relating to clean water.
Thanks
Pricey

Is there any way we can amend this fund to include all water contamination? we believe that c8 is
airborne' from the testing that has been done, thus could be in our *ells.
could we have some *ells in the area tested during the osQ next water testing? If it is concluded that
our wells are contaminated, will we then qualify for the grant?

^ z double checked with osQ staff this afternoon and it appears that there is about $350,000 in
the fund.
But as staff noted in the earlier email' it is limited to groundwater contamination with a needs
-based
test.
