Subject: GenXRoundup for 8/2/l7
Activity: Conference Call x2
Participants: 8:30a.m.call (DEQ,DHHg,Gov. Office);9:38a.m.call (DEQ,DHHlLocal Health Departments x4,public
utilities x1)
Nevv/EmerRinR Issues from 8:30a.m. Call:

0 Week 5 test results from Test America and the EPA have been through QA. All finished water sites are below the
health goal.
Consensus to move forward with a press release today on Week 5 test results.
* Yesterday, DEQ started groundwater sampling at 18 monitoring wells at the Chemours facility.Results from EPA
will take about u month to come in, and results will dictate next steps (i.e. possibly testing private wells near the
facility). The testing is for GenX and the nine other compounds identified in Dr. Knappe's report.
• DHHS received about two years of Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) data from the Cape Fear
Public Utility. DHHS is requesting the data in electronic format and will plan to share with CDC. DEQ also
received the data and is familiar with it.
w DEQ will ask Chemours for internal sampling data to help with CDC assessment and share with DHHS in
electronic format.
w DEQ sent a letter to Chemours requesting Confidential Business Information (CBI) — specifically all data it has
submitted to the EPA. Chemours has 14 days to respond. DEQ submitted the same CBI request directly to the
EPA.
Input from 9:30 a.m. Call:
w Bob Walker (H2Go)asked ifthere isany way toknow if Chemoursfinished its latest production run. DBQb
trying to gather more information about specific production run schedule. Chemours was planning to finish a
production run atsome point during sampling.
* Carolyn Moser (Pender County HD) asked about the finished water testing results in Pender County, which are
higher than other sites but still below the health goal of 140 ppt. She is wondering if GAC filters at the public
utility need tobechanged more frequently. She will have aconversation with DEU/DivisionPublic Health
officials later.
0 LHDs were comfortable moving forward with a press release today. Will get typical two-hour embargo.
Activities for the Day & Week:
0 DEQ will finalize press release on Week 5 test results and send to LHDs late this morning with a two-hour
embargo. This isa DEQ~onk/press release.
DHHS/DEQ to finalize internal Q&As and external FAQ
internal sampling data.
0 DEQ is trying to gather more information on production runs at Chemours facility.
Federal Update:
w CDC has committed to doing an assessment on long-term exposure to GenX. DHHS will be sharing data with CDC
toinform exposure modeling. This process will likely take about ayear.
w CDC will provide an expert panel to address questions about GenX and other compounds. Details not finalized
onhow NCwill access that panel and atwhat frequently.
