I think it is the Chemours facility near Fayetteville, NC and the chemical is used in making Teflon. The chemical has been found downstream from the plant and is affecting the drinking water of the local communities including Wilmington. Let me know if you need more info. I am also reaching out to Greg Peck in the Water Office whom I have known for a couple of decades but this likely affects more than just the Water office.

Minoli Designated Agency Ethics Official U.S. EPA (2310A) 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20460 Dear Mr. Minoli: The purpose of this letter is to describe the steps that I will take to avoid any actual or apparent conflict of interest in the event that I am confirmed for the position of Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. As required by 18 U.S.C. 208(a), I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter in which I know that I have a financial interest directly and predictably affected by the matter, or in which I know that a person whose interests are imputed to me has a financial interest directly and predictably affected by the matter, unless I first obtain a written waiver, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(1), or qualify for a regulatory exemption, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(2). I understand that the interests of the following persons are imputed to me: any spouse or minor child of mine; any general partner of a partnership in which I am a limited or general partner; any organization in which I serve as officer, director, trustee, general partner or employee; and any person or organization with which I am negotiating or have an arrangement concerning prospective employment. Upon confirmation, I will resign from my position with the law firm of with Hunton & Williams LLP. I currently have a capital account with the firm, and I will receive a refund of that account after my resignation. Until I have received this refund, I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter that to my knowledge has a direct and predictable effect on the ability or willingness of the firm to pay this refund, unless I first obtain a written waiver, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(1). I will continue to receive my monthly draw at the current rate until I resign from the law firm. I will not qualify for any additional partnership payments. If the law firm decides to pay me a discretionary partnership distribution for work I performed during the firm's fiscal year ending March 31, 2018,1 will not accept that distribution and will forfeit it, unless I receive it before I assume the duties of the position of Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation. If I receive the discretionary partnership distribution, I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter involving specific parties in which I know the law firm is a party or represents a party for a period of two years from the date on which I receive the distribution. If I do not receive the distribution, I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter involving specific parties in which I know the firm is a party or represents a party for a period of one year from the date of my resignation, unless I am first authorized to participate, pursuant to 5 C.F.R. 2635.502(d). In addition, I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter involving specific parties in which I know a former client of mine is a party or represents a party for a period of one year after I last provided service to that client, unless I am first authorized to participate, pursuant to 5 C.F.R. 2635.502(d). 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00002525-00001 If I have a managed account or otherwise use the services of an investment professional during my appointment, I will ensure that the account manager or investment professional obtains my prior approval on a case-by-case basis for the purchase of any assets other than cash, cash equivalents, investment funds that qualify for the exemption at 5 C.F.R. 2640.201(a), obligations of the United States, or municipal bonds. I will meet in person with you during the first week of my service in the position of Assistant Administrator in order to complete the initial ethics briefing required under 5 C.F.R. 2638.305. Within 90 days of my confirmation, I will document my compliance with this ethics agreement by notifying you in writing when I have completed the steps described in this ethics agreement. I understand that as an appointee I will be required to sign the Ethics Pledge (Exec. Order No. 13770) and that I will be bound by the requirements and restrictions therein in addition to the commitments I have made in this ethics agreement. I have been advised that this ethics agreement will be posted publicly, consistent with 5 U.S.C. 552, on the website of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics with ethics agreements of other Presidential nominees who file public financial disclosure reports. Sincerely yours, William L. Wehrum 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA 2 ED_001523_00002525-00002
