The plan shall provide for the studies and parameters identified in Attachment B as well as technologically feasible dosing parameters to be agreed upon by Chemours and DEQ.” Chemours previously submitted a request for approval of the proposed third parties to conduct the toxicity tests and hereby submits its proposed work plan for the toxicity assays for the chemical substances identified in Attachment B. This work plan includes the test guidelines and protocols for each toxicity study, as well as the proposed dosing parameters and schedule of work. Chemours looks forward to continuing to discuss the implementation of these toxicity studies under Paragraph 14 of the Consent Order so that the necessary work can proceed in a timely manner. If you have any questions or need further information, please let me know. Sincerely, Brian D. Long Plant Manager Chemours – Fayetteville Works 2 Enclosure Cc: William F.
