Date Re: Additional PFAS Testing of Your Residential Drinking Water Dear Name:
Since early September 2017, Chemours—in consultation and cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“NCDEQ”)—has been conducting a residential well sampling program in the vicinity of the Fayetteville Works facility. The drinking water for
your home was previously tested for the presence of HFPO Dimer Acid (commonly known as
“GenX”) and you should have received the results from those tests. As part of Chemours’ on-going effort to determine the extent of other compounds in drinking water, Chemours ran tests to measure the presence of certain additional Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (“PFAS”), sometimes referred to as “Table 3” compounds, in samples already collected from your drinking water. Enclosed please find the results for the PFAS sampling related to your well.
Because testing of your drinking water previously showed levels of HFPO Dimer Acid above 140 parts per trillion (“ppt”), which is North Carolina’s provisional health goal, you were offered a granulated activated carbon (“GAC”) filter treatment system at the company’s expense.
If you have accepted the installation of a GAC system, please be assured that the GAC
technology will remove the additional PFAS compounds from your drinking water. If you have not yet accepted Chemours’ previous offer of a GAC unit, you should be aware that Chemours has entered into a Consent Order with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and Cape Fear River Watch, which was approved by the Superior Court
for Bladen County on February--, 2019. Pursuant to that Consent Order, Chemours has agreed to provide you with connection to public water supply if the costs of doing so are determined by DEQ to not exceed $75,000 for your home. For most residents, Chemours believes that the costs of such installation will exceed $75,000, and that determination is being reviewed by DEQ. If
DEQ agrees that the installation of public water is cost prohibitive, you will still be eligible to
elect to have GAC technology installed. Chemours believes that GAC systems provide an efficient and effective long-term solution to treating drinking water, and that they are an excellent choice for relieving homeowners of the inconveniences associated with bottled water. If you have not installed a GAC unit and you prefer to have a reverse osmosis filter
installed in your home on each of your kitchen and bathroom sinks to treat the presence of PFAS, Chemours will provide these systems to you free of charge. The primary difference between a reverse osmosis system and a GAC unit is that a reverse osmosis system would be installed at each kitchen and bathroom sink inside your home and treat water as it flows through the tap, and

a GAC unit would be installed outside your home and treat all the water flowing through the pipes into your home. Both technologies are effective at eliminating PFAS from drinking water.
If you are interested in having a GAC system or reverse osmosis system installed, or in learning more about the drinking water treatment options available to you, please call 910-678-1101 and leave your contact information. A representative will return your call within 24 hours.

Finally, Chemours’ records indicate that you are represented by an attorney in connection with this matter, and so we are not contacting you directly. We are committed to assisting you and your family with speed and transparency and regret any inconvenience resulting from this situation.
Sincerely,

Brian Long Plant Manager Chemours – Fayetteville Works
