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 un-berland® 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 weeks meeting included city and county officials, utility
leaders, scientists, health officials and legal experts. Evervone invited to the
forum showed up except for one ® a representative from Chemours. That was
unfortunate.
The company says, however, that it has diverted. the leak of GenX to a holding
tank and. that the chemical is brim tricked 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 Irish more officials in
Fayetteville were asking the same question about 1-dioxane, a toxic chemical
that's apparently been in our water for years. The chemical, used in pint
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 t0 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 meknow ifyou have any further questions.
