Jamie,
I've had to schedule a 9:30 a.m. interview for a daily story I have to get done tomorrow. So from 9:30 a.m. to
about 10 or so, I am out of pocket. Otherwise, I am free for an interview any other time Wednesday. Let me
know if you all have narrowed down a time. Thanks, again!

Christina,
Looking at your questions now and trying to get appropriate permitting people to answer.
Do you have time on Tuesday for the interview?

Jamie - Basically, my story looks at the larger spectrum of industry vs. chemicals along the Cape Fear River,
using the GenX issue as a peg. I plan to look at the overall industry issued permits, the backlog you all are
facing, what other chemicals are the water (both regulated and unregulated) and how the NCDEQ authorizes
DEQ-CFW-00081921

these chemicals in the permitting process, while balancing out the need to protect human health and allow for
industry to conduct business in the state.
I will also be asking specific questions about the permitting process and Chemours permit.
I have developed a list of questions for you but I hope that I will not be limited to these questions as I may have
more in the coming days prior to the interview and more while the interview is taking place.
Some of my specific questions include:
How are the chemicals picked? How do you all gather what should be included in permits? And how do you all
weigh one permit with all others that have similar chemicals discharged for the overall scope of what's safe in a
particular body of water (in this case the Cape Fear River) and people living alongside it?
How do you all plan to look into by product issues like Chemours and is this a larger piece to a new look at the
way you all conduct permits and how you plan to look at industrial sites in the future?
Is water treatment factored into the amount chemical substances are regulated?
How do you assess what exactly a company is discharging? Is there methods that test a wide range of regulated
and unregulated contaminates in the waters across the state? Do you actually know exactly what all is in the
waters of the Cape Fear?
As far as the unregulated chemicals in Dr. Knappe's report, other than GenX, how do you plan to regulate and
monitor those other emerging contaminants? Is it possible to find out where they came from and do you suspect
they are related to another industrial sources other than Chemours?
Has Chemours exceeded any regulations of it's permit? If so, is it documented and when did that violation(s)
take place? Are violations normal? What happens when there is a slight violation in the regulatory process?
Should we be concerned about other chemicals in our water?
DEQ-CFW-00081922

If there is a permitting back log and industries are currently operating under old permits, how do you all keep
them regulated on current industry standard regulations?
What is the status of Chemours new permit? Is there a timeline or how long do you all think a pen -nit will be
pending during the larger investigative process by local, state and federal authorities?
The "new class of emerging contaminants" ... how do you plan on handling that issue as far as permitting and
monitoring? Can anything be done about it at this point when there is no regulation?
How is The Chemours Co. able to have a limitation for GenX in one part of it's discharge permit and not the
other?
Where in the permit does it allow GenX? — I've looked over the report several times and it does not state the
generic chemical name nor the full chemical name?
Let me know if I can help you any further.
