Onhalf ofSecretary Regan, thank you for your email about [hemounand GenX,and for sharing your concerns about
impacts on your growing family. Secretary Regan is reviewing all emails, as well as summaries of citizen phone calls, as
part ofhis investigation into this matter. |vviU do mybest to address your questions and comments, but please
understand that | may not beable todo»ofully atthis time.
This week, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) began collecting water samples to better understand current
conditions and take appropriate action. While there is a |ovv health risk associated with GenX, DEC\has strongly
encouraged Chemours to identify any measures that can be taken to reduce or eliminate the discharges of the chemical
to the Cape Fear River until the state completes its investigation. Additionally, DEQ also is pushing the Environmental
Protection Agency to provide regulatory guidance on GenX, which is an unregulated contaminant.
D8Qappreciates the diverse impacts this matter may have onthe greater Wilmington community. Aapart ofabroad
effort to keep citizens informed as we move forward, we will be launching vvebsitethis week to share information
about GenX. The page is not yet active but will be easily found from our landing page at
Again, thank you for contacting DEQabout this matter.

Dear Nfichael Regan,

I am very concerned about the toxins that are in our drinking water in Wilmington. I am 8 months pregnant and have a 2
year old son. Our children should not be poisoned with carcinogens.
I would like a full investigation and more transparency with Wilmingtonians. Please help repeal Chemors permit. There
are a lot of unanswered questions about our water and the dumping should stop immediately! The economic implications
of a city with toxic drinking water is enormous. Our city will never be able to recover...
Please take care of us!
