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 for the period from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020.

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

· Chemours conducted testing of its new thermal oxidizer facility to confirm that it is
destroying over 99.99% of all PFAS air emissions routed to it (destruction efficiency tests
completed in February 2020 showed an average PFAS destruction efficiency of
99.99981%).

· 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, including continued design of proposed
corrective actions and mass loading sampling.

· Chemours continues to provide replacement drinking water supplies to qualifying
residences and other private well users. Over 2600 residences are receiving bottled
water, and whole building and under sink filtration systems have been installed at 800
residences.

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

report, or the Consent Order implementation generally, please contact me at
