zill,
one thing - can you change "growing pressure" to "requests"
z noticed that in some of the comments z received regarding the FAQ as well.
zust thought it's probably a better phrase to use.
Thanks'

Mr. umshert:
on behalf of secretary Regan, thank you for your email about chemours and aenx. He is reviewing all
emails, as well as summaries of citizen phone calls, as part of his investigation into this matter. z
will do my best to address your questions and comments, but please understand that z may not be able to
do so fully at this time.
The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality is investigating the presence of menx in the cape pear River
and engaged in efforts to stop the discharge of oenx by chemours' until impacts of the unregulated
chemical are better understood. You may be aware that chemours responded lute Tuesday to growing pressure
from the osQ as well as local governments and concerned citizens by announcing that the company is taking
additional measures to capture, remove and safely dispose of wastewater that contains Genx at its
Fayetteville manufacturing plant.
This is a good first step' but ool and the N.C. Department of Health and Human services will continue to
investigate this issue until we have answers to address the concerns of downstream water users.
Fresh data is essential for documenting current conditions and taking appropriate action. This neek, os0
began collecting water samples from several sites along the cape rear River. Additional samples will be
collected throughout the region in the next two weeks. After meeting with staff in osQ' chemours agreed
to bear all the costs for sampling and analysis. The analysis of water samples osO collects will be
conducted by two independent laboratories, a certified facility in Colorado and a U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency lab in the Research Triangle Park near Raleigh. The samples will be analyzed and the
results of the testing announced by ocQ and oxxs.

In addition to supporting water sampling analysis' EPA is reviewing the additional toxicity data
submitted by the company and updating the risk assessment using the additional toxicity data specific to
Genx.
osQ will be launching a nebsite this week to share information about G=nx. The page is not yet active but
will be easily found from our landing page at https://deq.nc.gov/
Again' thank you for contacting osQ about this matter.
zill Lucas

Greetings Mr. Regan,
z hope this email finds you well, and hopefully other local residents are reaching out as well.
As you are aware' hundreds of thousands of people are impacted by this assault on our drinking
water.
The company responsible is mocking us with loopholes and shady tactics similar to it's former parent
company for some many decades' despite knowing full well their actions should be illegal.
Is there not a single judge in this state friendly enough to real ground -level citizen concerns
that
someone at the state level can file a suit and get an immediate injunction on this 'byproduct'
dumping?
They wait while we wait (for testing, expnsure, impact results, EPA statements' etc), the only
thing even
remotely fair.
If one of these execs walked up to you and dumped a glass on Genx down your mouth' it would be
criminal,
no? Yet we can't even get an injunction while we wait likely over a month just to get more test
results
despite admitted dumping. unacceptable at the highest levels.
Someone there in Raleigh needs to stand up for us now. why not let it be you?
Get an immediate cease and desist injunction and send a few local troopers whose children also
drink this
water up to the factory and tell them: "no work today folks" as they luck the doors
Best,
A highly concerned citizen
