Thanks for these answers and additional questions. Sec. Regan, can your staff start on answers to these?
Would add a question and answer about whether any of these five compounds were identified in Chemours'
permit.

Chris has the pen unthe press release. Attached isastart unthe Q\for review that mostly speaks tothe health side
(and lack of scientific info).
Below are some additional questions dhat|vvou|dsu88estvveputto8etheransvveoforbefonedhepreuune|ease8uesout

1. What are the uses of Nafion?
2. Do we know how long Chemours or it's predecessor, Dupont, has been manufacturing Nafion?
3. What can you tell us about the two Nafion byproducts: what are their chemical names and molecular structure, and
are they chemically similar toGenX?
4. Did DEQ or DHHS ask the EPA to analyze the water samples for these two compounds? If not, why did the EPA toss
these two chemical compounds into their report?
5. When did Nafion byproduct 1 or 2 appear on the radar screen for either DEQ or DHHS? How about the EPA?
6. How long did DEQ give Chemours to stop discharging the Nafion byproducts into the Cape Fear River? And what will
be the State's next step if Chemours refuses to do so?
7. Did the EPA give an estimate on how long it will take to complete any of it's next steps?
8. Who participated/attended Monday's meeting with the EPA?
9. What steps have been taken by DEQ and DHHS since Monday's meeting?

I sent some edits from our office to Jamie and Chris a little while ago. Jamie can you take the lead on combining the
various edits being sent and circulate a revised draft first thing tomorrow?
I think we should anticipate both Michael and Mandy being available tomorrow afternoon by phone for follow up
questions ifneeded.

Thanks Mandy, we will be on the look out for Chris's email and fold in the edits we have been working on.

FYI ... We made contact with the company this afternoon via telephone and also sent a letter. The plan istodoapress
release tomorrow, so | don't think m/ewill be doing press call or at least no one has discussed that option with me
thus far uo|might beout ofthe loop. Jamie and NueUe?
I have asked my legislative director Andy Miller to coordinate with Brad on outreach strategy and the goal is to do ERC
member outreach tomorrow morning around 10 am. Very high level touch points. |'|| likely follow up with a few
members later in the day, but asked Andy to do the initial outreach. Lets touch base first thing in am on coordinating GA
outreach.
