Subject: RE: Interview request
Nick,
In realizing the secretary was not available for an interview for your story, | wanted to provide you with a statement
from the agency for your story.
Secretary Regan said in the June 15 press conference it was too early to make any definitive statements regarding the
investigation, which had just started. The state's investigation isongoing and m/eare developing additional information
to make a final determination about whether there were any violations of the law.
As part of the state's investigation of GenX, we are taking a hard look at all aspects of Chemours' permit and are
conducting a review of the specific identifying information the company provided for the chemicals it was discharging
into the Cape Fear River. VVewill make public information regarding any appropriate enforcement action.

Hope you're well. I'm working on a story that will run this Thursday about the GenX situation down in
Wilmington. Specifically, the story will focus on Sec. Regan's claim to the Wilmington Star -News on June
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/[hemoursw/as permitted to discharge GenX.
Our story will include an interview with a science professor at UN[VVwho says none of the company's
permits allow discharge of GenX. It will also point to notes in the DEQ permit file from a June 2015
meeting in which it appears Dupont told regulators they were not discharging C3 dimeracid into the
river. That, of course, would appear to be a false and misleading statement.
If possible, I'd like to do an on -camera interview with someone from DEQ tomorrow (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
