with pressure from residents and local officials prompted Chemours, the company manufacturing the unregulated chemical, to

stop discharging GcnX into the Cape Fear.
State water quality officials plan to continue water sampling and analysis at these sites for the foreseeable future. Sixteen
monitoring wells were recently added to the sampling plan to investigate groundwater conditions at the Chemours facility in
Bladen County. The state will make the results of the groundwater tests at the Chemours facility public when they are available.
