All test results for finished drinking water in this round of sampling remained well below the 140 parts per trillion health goal
developed by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. The health goal represents the concentration of GcnX at
which no adverse non -cancer health effects would be anticipated over an entire lifetime of exposure to the most sensitive
populations.
The state DEQ began investigating the presence of GenX in the Cape Fear River on June 19. That ongoing investigation along
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.
