Ms. K4orcos:
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 best to address your questions and
comments, but please understand that I may not be able to do so fully at this time.
This week, the Department ofEnvironmental Quality (DE[) began collecting water
samples to better understand current conditions and take appropriate action. While
there is a low health risk associated with GenX, DEQ has 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 onGenX,which isanunregulated contaminant.
DE[\appreciates the diverse impacts this matter may have onthe greater Wilmington
community. As part ofa broad effort to keep citizens informed as we move forward, we
will be launching a website this week to share information about GenX. The page is not
yet active but will beeasily found from our landing page at -
Again, thank you for contacting DEQabout this matter.

Michael,
Your help is needed urgently. Chemours must immediately stop
releasing toxins into our water supply. Please use your power to
help the DEQ NOT renew the Chemours discharge permit asap.
That is the only reasonable next step to to ensure our rights to a
clean water supply.
Sincerely, Michelle Morcos
