Based onthe best available data, DHHS determined there was a low health risk associated with the levels of GenX
detected iothe Cape Fear River during 201.3and 2024. However, w/ewant current data since wvedon't know what levels
are present at this time. Want to understand the data and make sound decisions based on that.
(We would prefer the answve, in the attached document) Lower toxicity chemical that's being manufactured in process
to phasing out a more toxic substance. Used to manufacture Teflon
VVedon't have current data about levels of GenX in the drinking water. We are currently collecting samples to address
this, Based on the best available data, DHH8 determined there was a |oxv health risk associated with the levels ofGeoX
detected inthe Cape Fear River during 2O13and 2824.
Bottled water comes from a variety of sources including public water supplies. There is no regulatory requirement for it
If you're asking if I would drink the water? I would drink the water.
We knew this was being discharged when the company said they were switching to the Gen X process in 2012.

There are no state or federal drinking water standards to include in the wastewater permit.
Why can't nwe shut the plant down?
We believe the current Situation is low/ risk, but vvewant current data. Would need to bean imminent health threat to
shut down the facility. Typically, we use injunctive relief when we have imminent health threats. Taking a h ardlook and
pushing the company to find ways to limit how much of this chemical makes its way to the river.
Exploring several options to see what technologies are available to remove to compound from the water. Doing an
expedited analysis.
Why can't testing be done at EPA? The EPA is not equipped to handle testing. Only one lab in Colorado can test down
the level necessary to see the compound.
What isthe state doing tostop the discharge of the chemical?
We are pushing to company to find ways to limit how much of the chemical makes its way to the water. In addition to
sampling at the water supply intakes, our teams will be working with Chemours to analyze samples at the point source,
determine levels and find ways for elimination.
How long has the state known about the GlEnXstudy?
Dr. Knappe, one of the lead authors, shared the study with DEQ staff late last year. It is important to bear in mind the
study focuses on an unregulated emerging contaminant for which there is very little research on.
