The summary you received is based on a preliminary review by our staff. As you know, there is limited human health information for this particular chemical. We are continuing to look into this and we should be able to provide something to the General Assembly members early next week if requested.

McDowell St. Raleigh, NC 27603 am E -..� �--- C DEQ-CFW-00020844 [)nJun 5L2O17,at6:O1PM, Culpepper, Linda Thank you, I will share within DEQ. We met with Sen. Lee and Rep. Grange from the Wilmington districts a few minutes -°_ They are interested in the health information from DHHS. Given they are marked draft, | am not sharing your document with them sothat you can work with them directly. They are responding to media inquires as well and your information would be of great benefit to them. Here is what I just provided them from our thoughts: We certainly understand the public concerns surrounding the issue with GenX and are working with the EPA and others to learn more about the chemical compound and any potential impacts itmay have. It's important for the public to know that drinking water from the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority meets all state and federal drinking water standards. EPA has established standards for many pollutants impacting water quality and public health. North Carolina and other states are in communication with EPA aufurther guidance and research isdeveloped that will provide the state Department of Environmental Quality with the information needed tobegin developing regulatory limits for GenX. The EPA is the sole agency responsible for establishing drinking water standards nationwide and has extensive resources necessary to determine the nature, extent and potential impacts ofchemicals such asGenX. When EPA establishes guidance for emerging contaminants such as GenX, this triggers the process used by EPA and states like North Carolina to develop regulations for these contaminants. People should be assured that there are steps that DEQ staff are taking while we're awaiting guidance from the EPA. DEQ officials are talking with Chemours to assess waste streams containing GenXand determine if the company can reduce the amount of the chemical compound being discharged to the river. DHHS has drafted a summary of their review and I have asked them to share that with you directly sothat you can follow upwith them asneeded. Thank you for your time this afternoon.
