Dear New Hanover Commissioners,
I laud your efforts to join together with CFPUA and the City of Wilmington to assert our rights for clean
drinking water for all who live downstream ofthe [hemouoplant. Your comprehensive list ofquestions
will help all of us to better understand the situation more clearly. However, the fact still remains that we
should never have to pay for any cleanup of Chemours' wastewater discharge regardless of
toxicology. The water coming into that plant does not contain the Gen X waste yet the water leaving it
does.Thestateandfedera|governmentbothhave"anti'de8radation"|axvsthatseemtohavebeen
violated here. Additionally, it seems to methat the utate's riparian |avvu may be in question as well. If
reverse osmosis can remove all of the molecules of Gen Xfrom the waste stream, then | would strongly
encourage you to demand that this technology be installed immediately at this plant and any other
manufacturing facility upstream of us where there may be any question of risks regarding the toxicology
ofthe chemicals being discharged. |fplants like [hemoursare reaping the economic benefit ofour
drinking water, they should at least have the common decency to show some respect for the
downstream users bymaking itcleaner than itwas given tothem.
Finally, | encourage your counterparts in Brunswick County and our state representatives to join in this
effort to seek the truth and swift, successful resolution on this situation.
