A Bladen County judge late Friday approved a partial consent order between Chemours and the state governing the release of GenX and other fluoridated compounds from the company’s Fayetteville Works site.
The House joined the Senate in passing legislation to address the GenX contamination in the Cape Fear River. Governor Roy Cooper issued a statement in response to House Bill 56:
GenX is one of the big topics that came up this morning when WWAY's Hannah Patrick sat down with Congressman David Rouzer about several important issues in the Cape Fear and across the country.
Starting as early as today, customers will find a letter on GenX from CFPUA Chairman Mike Brown and Executive Director Jim Flechtner in their next bill.
Late Wednesday afternoon, CFPUA received updated water sampling data from Eurofins for our Sweeney Water Plant. The most recent data shows levels of GenX below the NC DHHS health advisory goal of 140 ppt.
We are now learning more about the levels of GenX in our water. During the forum WWAY hosted along with StarNews and WHQR Wednesday night, panelists said they were encouraged the levels have gone down.
