Subject: RE: Stop the release of GenX in Wilmington
Ms. Lucas:
On behalf of Secretary Regan, thank you for your email about Chemours and GenX. He is reviewing all emails, as well as
summaries of citizen phone calls, as part of his investigation into this matter. I will do my besttoaddress your questions
and comments, but please understand that I may not be able to do so fully at this time.
This week, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) began collecting water samples to better understand current
conditions and take appropriate action. While there is a |ovv health risk associated with GenX, DE{lhas strongly
encouraged Chemours to identify any measures that can be taken to reduce or eliminate the discharges of the chemical
to the Cape Fear River until the state completes its investigation. Additionally, DEQ also is pushing the Environmental
Protection Agency to provide regulatory guidance on GenX, which is an unregulated contaminant.
D8lappreciates the diverse impacts this matter may have onthe greater Wilmington community. As part of a broad
effort to keep citizens informed as we move forward, we will be launching a xvebsite this week to share information
about GenX. The page is not yet active but will be easily found from our landing page at .

Wilmington water isbeing contaminated. Please cancel the Chenlounsdischarge permit. Poisoning your
citizens is not the way to gat re-elected. It is also immoral. You have the opportunity to stop what is happening in
Wilmington from becoming the catastrophe that occurred in Flint, Mi.
Make this your story. Make this your legacy. You have the power to save Wilmington, NC.
Thank you,
Stephanie Lucas
