Executive Summary
ACCIDENT RELEASE PREVENTION AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE POLICIES
At the Chemours Company - Fayetteville Works, we are committed to operating and maintaining our processes in a safe and
responsible manner. We use a combination of accident release prevention programs and emergency response planning programs
to help insure the safety of our employees, the public and the environment. We adhere to the Chemours corporate philosophy of the
commitment is zero. This means that we constantly strive for zero process safety incidents, zero environmental incidents and zero
injuries. Our site safety, operating and emergency response procedures are available to all site employees via electronic access on
computers throughout the plant.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The Chemours Company - Fayetteville Works consists of approximately 2200 acres located on the Bladen - Cumberland county
line, adjacent to N.C. highway 87, approximately 15 miles southeast of Fayetteville, N.C. Approximately 400 acres are currently
used for Chemours Company - Fayetteville Works manufacturing and two tennant manufacturing operations. A solar energy facility
is being constructed on approximately 400 acres that will be unmanned when construction is completed. The remainder of the
property is set -aside for future manufacturing needs.
The SO3 process at Fayetteville is a Prevention Program 3 processes due to regulated toxic chemicals with off -site impact
potential. The SO3 process produces chemical intermediates using Sulfur Trioxide.
The TFE process is a Prevention Program 1 processes since the regulated chemical is flammable with no off -site impact. TFE is
used to produce a polymer for membranes used in fuel cells and the Chloralkali industry. In the production of those products, the
regulated substance Tetrafluoroethylene is used.
ACCIDENT RELEASE PREVENTION PROGRAM
The Chemours Company - Fayetteville Works is in compliance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.119 and 40CFR Part 68. Our
Process Safety Management system includes a documented process technology system detailing the hazards of the materials,
equipment design basis and the process design basis. Periodic Process Hazards Analyses are conducted to review the entire
process to ensure safe operation and compliance with design guidelines. Materials of construction are strictly controlled to ensure
the mechanical integrity of the systems. Extensive operating and safety instrumentation include alarms, interlocks and gas detectors
that allow the operators to continuously monitor and control the process conditions. Process safety critical equipment and
instruments are identified and routinely tested or inspected to ensure proper operation and mechanical integrity. A work order and
permit system is used to control maintenance work. Maintenance and operations personnel are trained and qualified via a rigorous
training program. Operating and maintenance procedures are documented and available to personnel either via hard copy or
electronic copies on computers located throughout the operating areas.
FIVE YEAR ACCIDENT HISTORY
There have been no on site injuries and no off site injuries, evacuations, sheltering in place, property damage or environmental
damage due the accidental release of RMP regulated substances from the
Chemours Company - Fayetteville Works in the past 5 years.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM
The site has an emergency response team staffed 24 hrs./day, 365 days/year that is trained to respond to fire, medical or hazmat
emergencies. Our emergency response program provides planning and training to effectively protect our employees, the public and
the environment during emergency situations. The emergency response procedures are in place and updated periodically. All
employees are trained for their role in an emergency situation. The plant conducts emergency response drills, with critiques held
after the drills and actual events. The plant is actively involved with the Bladen County LEPC.
IMPROVING SAFETY
We constantly strive to evaluate and improve the safety of our processes. Every person on the site is engaged and has a
responsibility to improve the safety of our operations. As part of our Process Hazards Analysis process, teams consisting of
operators, mechanics, technical engineers and management thoroughly examine and evaluate our manufacturing operations on a
periodic frequency to identify risk reduction opportunities. Audits, both first party and second party, are conducted using site based
personnel and non -site personnel to evaluate compliance with safety, environmental, occupational health and process safety
management requirements and regulations. Findings are documented and tracked to closure.
