Dear Mr. Klimek:
On April 3, 2006, the DuPont Company — Fayetteville Works reported to the Division of
Water Quality the results of sampling in the Cape Fear River basin for the compound ammonium
perfluorooctanoate (APFO or C8). DuPont subsequently learned that an unvalidated analytical
method was used to generate those results. The retained river water samples were then analyzed
with the correct validated method, and those results are given on the attached table.
You will see that the attached results are similar to what was reported to you in April.
If you have any questions regarding this information, or if you need more details, please feel
free to call me at (910) 678-1155,
Environmental Manager
