Subject. PSA on Gen-X
Hello,
I moved to Wilmington 5 years ago and like €post people that relocate here, tell in love
with Wilmington's natural beauty and southern charm. As a Wilmington homeowner,
parent of two small children and business owner I wanted to provide some information
about the recent discover} of GenX in our water supply - in the event you are unaware
and [presently consuming ublic water.
When the stony was first reported by Star News l was shocked and concerned about the
health of my family, friends (some of whom have been drinking tap water their whole lives)
and particularly those most at risk - children and the elderly
DEQ-CFW 00052761

Per the Press Conference, the GenX Forum at UNCW, the CBS News story, and stories
posted in the Facebook Group I've learned.
• DupontiChernours has been dumping C6 and Gen-X in the Cape Fear River since
1980, among a host of other unknown contaminants
• The Cape Fear River is the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority's (CFPUA) source of
drinking water and is provided to over 100,000 in New Hanover Count
• Gen-X is a chemical produced by Chemours (a former subsidiary of Dupont) and
is the replacement chemical of C8. CS is now a known toxin and banned by most
countries globally as it causes a variety of harmful effects to humans... read more
• o__to_tf�e.. €_ ��__��pt__efforts..of_o_€�_�_ € �I�i��,.. f��€ ��It: _� I� � �i.��.. r � _�
cease dumping Gen-X into the Ca e Fear Ripe€.
• Per Chemours lab results, Submitted to the EPA, show that Gen-X is harmful to
lab rats; but its toxicity and effects to humans is unknown
• Currently, we do not know how concentrated Gen-X, C6 or other compounds are
in our drinking water
• eater testing is under ray and most experts advise to not drink the water until
more information is mailable
• Due to the low biodegradation of these chemicals it is unclear of how our water
supply can be remediated.
• Whole house water filtration (reverse osmosis, carbon filtration) may eliminate
these chemicals, but results are presently unknown
As a member of the Cape Fear Association of Realtors; we have been advised that "there
is no disclosure issue until we know the effects of the chemical in the water supply. Once
we know what the effects are; it may be a material fact that must be disclosed,"
In my opinion, our community needs to continue the momenturn by urging our elected
officials to pass legislation (1) to halt chernical dumping Into any public water source and
to (2) demand state assistance for clean drinking water for all impacted residents.
