As you are aware, we are environmental counsel for the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority
("CFPUA"). Pursuit to a Public Records Request, we have been reviewing the agency files related
to the above NPDES Permit. We have identified the attached two documents from those files
which specifically relate to the Agency's questions and knowledge about the use of the GenX at
the facilities covered by the NPDES Permit N0003573.
CFPUA finds these documents to be of great concern, especially the hand-written notes
that appear to have been taken during meetings with DuPont/Chemours representatives. We want
to make sure that we have not missed any related documents regarding these discussions between
the Permittee and DEQ (DENR). We request that you undertake a careful review to determine
what other documents in the Agency's files bear on the use of GenX at the facilities covered by
this NPDES Permit, and the representations of DuPont/Chemours regarding the same.
Sincerely,
eorge W/House

Mike- it has been a long time! Looks like Aug 26 or Aug 30 would be preferable, with Aug 18
a possibility. DWQ staff would include Jeff Poupart (Point Source Branch), Sergei Chernikov
and myself (NPDES), Connie Brower and Sandra Moore (Standards), and Belinda Henson
(Fayetteville Regional office). Belinda would prefer to be voiced in. Let me know if thi's
works out.

Hello. It has been a long time since we have talked. I see you are the supervisor of the
NPDES Permitting Unit, so congratulations on that new position.
The DuPont Company would like to have a meeting with NCDENR to discuss how the company is
progressing on its goal to cease manufacturing PFOA at the Fayetteville Works site by 2015,
and to discpss the PFOA replacement compound that is being produced at the Fayetteville Works
site.
The two divisions with the greatest interest in these topics would be DWQ because of (1) the
current activity of the NC Science Advisory Board to propose a permanent 2L standard for
PFOA, (2) the DuPont - Fayetteville Works' current monitoring requirement for PFOA on our
NPDES Permit, and (3) general interest in the toxicology of the replacement compound; and
the Division of Waste Management ("DWM") because of (1) the current groundwater monitoring
program for PFOA and (2) general interest in the toxicology of the replacement compound.
VJ
DEQ-CFW-00084784

. '.
Therefore/ I am attempting to schedule a joint m 6tinA1x1th DuPont, DW0, and DWM at a
mutually convenient dade, time/ and location in Raleigh.
From the DWQ standpoint, I would think personnel from the NPDES unit would be appropriate
because of the potential permitting subject matter, and personnel dealing with toxicology
(Connie Brower and/or Sandra Moore) would be appropriate because of the 2L rule. obviously
this meeting would be open to anyone in DWQ that would have interest in these topics, such as
Coleen Sullins.
August 13
August 18
August 20
August 26
August 27
August 30
Please let me know which of the above dates (and times) that would be convenient for [W0, and
I will.work with DWM to pin down a date/ time, and location. Also give me an idea of the
number of DWQ personnel to expect to help with the meeting room. -
Thanks for your assistance.
