Editorial in the Fayetteville Observer July 6, 2017
... .. .. ...
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 lawmakers 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 6aunty
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 forum showed. up except for one ® a
representative from Chemours. That was unfortunate.
DEQ-CFW-00022088

The company says, however, that it his diverted the leak of GenX to a
holding tank and that the chemical is bring trucked away now to
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
Gen . We wish more officials in Fayetteville 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, seen too leisurely. We
expect and. should demand better.
gettingPerhaps
get someone's attention. in Raleigh.
