ALBGH—Staf with the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality will sample the water in the Cape Fear River for an
nregulated chemical compound known as GenX starting today and continuing Thursday.
DEQ staff will sample at 13 locations this week and will continue collecting samples for analysis in the same locations for the
next three weeks. Today, DE[\staff in the Fayetteville regional office are collecting water samples atthe [hemours plant that
produces GenX during industrial processes, the Bladen Bluff intake and their finished water, and a water supply well in Bladen
County.
On Thursday, DEQ staff in the Wilmington regional office plan to sample the Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority's
intake, the International Paper intake, the International Paper finished water, the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority's finished
water, the Pender County public utility's finished water, the Brunswick County public utility's finished water, the Cape Fear
Public Utility's Aquifer Storage and Recovery well, and the Wrightsville Beach water supply well.
ficials are waiting three days between sampling events since that is the estimated travel time for the Cape Fear to flow the
0 miles from the Chemours plant in Fayetteville to the downstream river intakes near Wilmington. Officials are trying to

D8Qstaff, inconsultation with state Department ofHealth and Human Services, are investigating thepresenoeofthe
unregulated compound known as GenX that was detected in the Cape Fear River.
teenvironmental regulators will collect the water samples and will send those to two laboratories capable of detecting
nX inwater ut low concentrations.
ter meeting with DRlstaff last week, Chemours agreed to bear all costs for the water collection and testing. The state
lieves the completed results will be back from the laboratory in Colorado within four weeks from when the samples are
-eived. But multiple rounds of testing and analysis will be necessary for a meaningful evaluation of the water quality.
mples also will be sent to the Environmental Protection Agency's lab in the Research Triangle Park. Officials have not yet

.determined a timeline for when analysis from the EPA lab would be completed.
To learn more about sampling locations, please contact Jamie Kritzer, communications director for DEQ, at 919-707-8602.
