Re: Submission of Quarterly Progress Report Pursuant to Consent Order Paragraph 28
Dear Ms. Holman,
Chemours is pleased to submit the enclosed quarterly progress report, as required under
paragraph 28 of the Consent Order entered by the Superior Court for Bladen County on February
25, 2019. This quarterly progress report details the work and activities undertaken and
completed pursuant to the Consent Order and Addendum for the period from October 1, 2020 to
December 31, 2020.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, Chemours continued its comprehensive work to
implement the projects set forth in the Consent Order and Addendum. Significant actions
undertaken during this quarterly reporting period include:

• Chemours continued to operate its thermal oxidizer facility, which is destroying over
99.99% of all PFAS air emissions routed to it.

• All of Chemours’s process wastewater continues to be captured and safely disposed of
off-site.

• Significant work continues to reduce the remaining PFAS loadings from surface water
and groundwater to the Cape Fear River, pursuant to both the Consent Order and
Addendum. Chemours continued operation of the capture and treatment system for the
Old Outfall (Outfall 003), which had started up on September 30, 2020. On December
16, 2020, Chemours commenced operation of the flow-through cell system for Seep C.
During the fourth quarter, Chemours also performed mass loading sampling, submitted
mass loading modeling results, and took actions in furtherance of the forthcoming
remediation systems for Seeps A, B, and D, onsite groundwater, and stormwater.

• Chemours continues to provide replacement drinking water supplies to qualifying
residences and other private well users. Approximately 2500 residences are receiving
bottled water, and whole building or under sink filtration systems have been installed at
approximately 1700 residences.

We are focused and intent on ensuring that the implementation of the Consent Order and
Addendum continues to proceed in the same manner.

As you know, on January 1, 2021, I assumed responsibility as Chemours’s Plant Manager
for the Fayetteville Works facility. If you have any questions or need any additional information
concerning this report, or the Consent Order implementation generally, please contact me at

Sincerely,

Dawn M. Hughes
Plant Manager
