RALEIGH — Officials with the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality on Wednesday confirmed additional sources
of the unregulated chemical GenX at the Chemours industrial complex have been collected to prevent the unregulated
compound from discharging to the Cape Fear River.
The state deployed an inspection team to the Fayetteville Works facility in response to a report from Chemours that recent
water testing conducted by the company showed the presence of GenX at the plant's point of discharge to the Cape Fear
River.
The Chemours facility on June 21 changed its process to reroute wastewater containing GenX to tankers for removal and
offsite incineration. DEQ inspectors were deployed this week after Chemours indicated that data the company had
collected was higher than what it would have expected after the June 21 wastewater diversion had begun. The company
reported to DEQ that it had found other areas where GenX was being released into the wastewater.
DEQ confirmed during the inspection that the company halted the affected industrial activities at the plant and stopped the
additional wastewater discharge.
State inspectors confirmed Wednesday that the additional GenX material had been contained and was not being
discharged. The additional discharge was coming from several areas at the plant.
Company officials have told the state that the process areas where the GenX originated will remain inactive until the
wastewater from the areas is collected for removal and offsite incineration.
As part of its ongoing investigation, DEQ will continue to collect water quality samples until late July near the Chemours
facility and downstream, and will use data from testing to inform its decisions moving forward.
