Subject: Interview request
Importance: High
Hope you're well. I'm working on a story that will run this Thursday about the GenX
situation down inWilmington. Specifically, the story will focus onSec. Re8an'sclaim to
the Wilmington Star -News onJune 15 "what we have here is a situation where the
company (Chemours) is not breaking the law," and other claims from state regulators
that Dupont/Chemourswas permitted todischarge GenX.
Our story will include an interview with a science professor at UNCW who says none of
the company's permits allow discharge ofGenX. It will also point to notes in the DE{l
permit file from a June 2015 meeting in which it appears Dupont told regulators they
were not discharging C3 climer acid into the river. That, of course, would appear to be a
false and misleading statement.
Ifpossible, I'd like todoanon-camera interview with someone from DEQtomorrow
(Wednesday). We're happy to come to Raleigh.
Feel free to give me a call on my cell if you'd like to discuss further.
Thanks!
Nick
