Hey Bridget. Below is my email to Marla from last Thursday, modified to better reflect my
current questions. You'll see that I've made a couple of FOI requests too. The most pressing
thing is the interviews. I'm filing my story on Wednesday.
All the best,
Cathy

Good to talk with you Marla. Thanks for your readiness to help.
Below is a summary of what I'm requesting.
1. A conversation with DEQ topic experts regarding their current understanding of precisely
how GenX was released in Cape Fear and over how long.
Added: I am particularly interested in better understanding how what was hailed as a new
compound when Chemours switched from PFOA to GenX turns out to be something that DuPont
had been releasing into the Cape Fear River since the 1980s as a byproduct.
