Subject: Questions regarding Chemouo' NPDESpermit renewal process
Hi, Marla. First, l\n still interested in talking with folks atDF(l about the same things I'd hoped to discuss from
last week. Let me know if and/or when that can happen.
I'm working nnastory about the Np(]ESrenewal process and have some questions. Can you help nnc
get answers to these? I'm hoping to write ostory to run Monday, so it'd hcgreat ifIcan get these hythe end of
tomorrow. Is that do -able?
UHas Chemourasubmitted any changeshoorhas 7lFl)requested any changeshothe renewal application
received onMay 3,20|6,for the Fayetteville Works site? DPso, can you please provide ocopy ofthose
71 In early June, TJE0/ said this application would bereviewed 6vDF(l staff within two months. Is that still
correct? Can you estimate when this review would begin?
3)Our understanding isthat review ofthis application was expedited after the SLarNevvsbegan asking questions
in late June. Is that correct? If so, when might it have been slated for consideration under normal

4) At a June 28 forum, Sheila Holman, assistant secretary for environment, said that Chemours' permit would
not be renewed until DEQ completes its investigation regarding the discharge of GenX and the other
substances. Is that correct? If so, how long is that investigation expected to take? What will that investigation be
examining?
5) Marla indicated in a recent email that "DEQ is working with EPA's Toxic Substance Control Act staff to
gain access to information submitted to the EPA that will help the state evaluate all manufacturing processes
and potential chemicals that need to be included in the NPDES permit renewal before the upcoming site visit."
Does DEQ plan to specifically include a requirement for monitoring of GenX and the "novel" substances
mentioned in Sun, et al., in the newest permit? If so, what would that entail? If not, why?
6) How does DEQ plan to handle Chemours' request that it be relieved of responsibility for monitoring
discharges of PFOA?
7) How much will Chemours pay for this renewed permit, once the renewal process is complete?
8) Where, specifically, will the public notice of the renewed pen -nit be published?
