help you get answers to your questions. Also, please if you know you're going to need us to track
down answers to complex questions, give us a few days during the week to track this information
down. We're happy to help but often it's difficult to locate appropriate staff to help answer
questions about
Documents they would need to drive to work on a weekend to refer to in order to make sure the
responses are accurate.
Bridget's number is 919-807-6363.
Thanks

> Hi, Jamie. I know it's the weekend after a long week, but Friday's AG announcement has
prompted us to move some things forward. So, I'm working on some things that have a deadline
of 2 p.m. Sunday. Here are some questions I hope we can get answered:
> 1) Among the documents provided from my open -records request are two that seek
clarification of Part III of the permit -- specifically, when does the company need to notify
regulators when discharging a substance that is not listed on the permit:
> dobson-memo.pdf-. Memo from Grady Dobson of the Fayetteville office with
recommendations on DuPont's 2001 NPDES application
> dupont-2002-letter.pdf. Letter from Mike Johnson at DuPont requesting clarification on
notification under Part 111.
> I have permits issued in January and February (corrected) 2004, but neither appears to address
this issue. I also cannot find any other document among those I was provided that addresses it.
Was it addressed? If so, when, by whom, and how? Can you provide copies of documents related
to that?
> 2) Does DEQ have any standing policies or guidelines for how companies such as DuPont
should address Part III?
> 3) Can DEQ provide copies of communications from DuPont and/or Chemours made to DEQ
that comply with Part III? I've attached an example of one (part-iii-notify-2007.pdf), so,
apparently it was occurring in at least some cases. Did such a notification occur in the case of
GenX? Specifically, did one occur before DuPont instituted its initial abatement efforts in
November 2013?
> 4) The letter from Mike Johnson referenced above mentions that the company "considering a
research effort to identify and quantify some of the unknown fluorocarbon byproducts in the
various processes at the Fayetteville Works facility." Was there any other communication
regarding this? Did this research effort occur and did such a system get developed and put in use
at the Fayetteville Works? If so, were results communicated to the state?
> 5) Does DEQ continue to maintain that the manufacturing descriptions constitute disclosure of
discharge of GenX and the "novel" substances in Sun, et al., under the terms of NPDES and the
Clean Water Act?
