Fayetteville Chemours plant still polluting water with toxic PFAS. What needs to happen now
Mar 1, 2024
A recent story in The Guardian highlights a reality when it comes to Chemours: Despite significant progress in the years since we negotiated a consent order to clean up the site, more work remains.
With new testing methods and information gathered over the last five years, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality must deny the company’s proposed expansion and do more to stop the company’s PFAS pollution.
The court-approved consent order is a floor, not a ceiling. This foundation is meant to be built upon as more information and better technologies become available. Now, with new information including data described in the article in The Guardian, the Department of Environmental Quality must hold Chemours accountable.
