Editorial inthe Fayetteville Observer July 6,2U17

...... .... ..
When 450 people from one city show up for a meeting, that's a signal that
something important is happening. We hope such a meeting in Wilmington last
week is a signal to laNvmakers and regulators in Raleigh that people are fed up
with their allowing our rivers — which are our municipal water supplies ® to
become industrial sewers.
The Wilmington meeting — sponsored by our sister GateHouse newspaper, the
StarNews — was held to address the presence of a chemical called GenX, a
possible carcinogen, in the Cape Fear River. The chemical was leaking from the
Chemours plant on the Cumberland® laden county line and was showing up in.
tests of the water supply in. the Wilmington. area. There is no practical way to
remove the chemical at treatment plants. The New Hanover County residents
who showed up at last week's meeting included city, and county officials, utility
leaders, scientists, health officials and legal experts. Everyone invited to the
fortim showed up except for one — a representative from Chemours. That was
unfortunate.
The company says, however, that it has diverted the leak of can to a holding
tank and that the chemical is bring trucked away now to a disposal site where it's
incinerated.
The question asked by civic leaders — and those of us who drink the water from
our taps ® is pretty basic: Where is the federal, state and. local oversight that's
supposed to protect the public from threats like GenX. We wish more officials in
Favetteville were asking the same question about 14-dioxane, a toxic chemical
that's apparently been in our water for years. The chemical, used. in paint
strippers and varnishes, appears to be coming from the Triad. The search for its
source, and the enforcement to shut it down, seem too leisurely. We expect and
should demand better.
Perhaps getting 450 concerned people to show up at one meeting will get
someone s attention in Raleigh.

The plans and timelines expressed our February letter are still accurate. Our lab received their new
instrument and it is up and running for initial validation. We still hope to be online for the Dioxane
testing in mid -summer. I have attached a copy of the recently updated sampling plan. Once the lab
method is validated we will add monitoring to permits identified as potential sources of 1, 4
dioxane. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
