Re: Information Packet for Properties Near Chemours - Fayetteville Facility
Including Request to Collect Well Samples at Your Property
Dear Sir or Madam:
Recent analysis of samples collected at the Chemours Facility located at 22828 NC Highway 87 West,
Cumberland and Bladen Counties, North Carolina, indicates groundwater at that Facility is contaminated
with fluorinated compounds. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) are providing information with this letter concerning
this contamination.
As part of DEQ's continued investigation to determine the extent of any potential groundwater
contamination in this area, we would like to collect samples of water from any supply wells on your
property. We are requesting to sample your well to determine whether the well has been impacted by the
contamination from the Chemours Facility. Enclosed is a form requesting permission to collect samples of
the well water from your property for analysis. To collect these samples, staff from the DEQ's Division of
Waste Management (DWM) will purge water from your well for approximately 15 minutes. Two small
sample bottles will then be filled. You do not have to be at home to have your well sampled as DWM will
attempt to collect the sample from a faucet at the wellhouse or from an outdoor faucet.
This sampling will be performed at no cost to you. The laboratory results will be forwarded to you as soon
as possible. To allow the DWM to collect samples from your property, please print your name, the
property address, your contact information, date, and sign the attached permission form. The signed
permission form may be scanned and emailed to Bud.McCarty*ncdenr.gov, or regular mailed to the
following address:
Ms. Julie Woosley, Chief
Hazardous Waste Section
Division of Waste Management
1646 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1646
Included in this packet are:
a) A Fact Sheet containing information about the contamination identified in groundwater at the
Chemours Facility; and,
b) The form for you to sign to grant permission for the State to collect samples from the well and to
provide basic information about the well on your property.
