On half of Secretary Regan, thank you for your email about Chemours and GenX. He is reviewing all emails, as well as
summaries of citizen phone calls, as part of his investigation into this matter. | will do my best to address your questions
and comments, but please understand that I may not be able to do so fully at this 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.
DBQappreciates 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 a website this 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 Mr. Regan,
As a resident of Wilmington who is supplied with drinking water from the Cape Fear River, I am strongly opposed to
Chemours pouring the toxic chemical Gen X into the river from its Cumberland County plant.
While Chemours apparently thinks 250,000 people who live downstream from them should simply buy water filtering
systems, I would counter that it seems fairer for the company to filtering the toxins from the water it dumps into the river.
I hope you and your department can find a way to halt Chemour's discharges of Gen X (and other toxins) into the water
supply of southeastern North Carolina, and I applaud whatever actions you can take along those lines. Thank you.
Sincerely,
David A. Nnnio
