Chemours info
Sheila,
I just got off the phone with Jeff Fritz, gov't affairs with Chemours, and wanted to share some things pertinent to
tomorrow's meeting.
A few points on Chemours' approach/messaging at tomorrow's meeting:
• Sending technical and communications people, not lawyers.
• Believe GenX levels pose no danger to human health
• Agree with DHHS analysis found that toxicity levels from 2013-2014 samples are 100 times less than safe levels
• Want to correct misinformation produced by media
• Will meet with Wilmington Star News editorial board after meeting
The company estimates the GenX control device it installed in 2013 reduced by-product GenX discharge by 80% (GenX
production is closed loop).
Jeff hears that New Hanover County plans to file for injunctive relieve to shut down the company until the safety of
drinking water is proven. Have you heard this?
Chemours hears that US EPA has analysis of samples taken more recently than 2013 and 2014. The company would like
DEQ's help getting that analysis form the EPA. Chemours will raise this with DEQ tomorrow.
