EPA has initiated an investigation into Chemours' compliance with a 2009 order issued under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the production of GenX. This investigation will allow EPA to determine whether Chemours is in compliance with requirements of the order to control releases to the environment at the Fayetteville, N.C., facility.

It's EPA policy not to discuss ongoing investigations. Has EPA updated the risk assessment for GenX? EPA is currently in the process of updating the risk assessment for GenX and an associate chemical that were initially assessed when submitted as Pre-Manufacture Notices. New information, including 1) updated production volume, process information, and monitoring data, 2) toxicity studies required by the Consent Order, 3) new water monitoring data and 4) updated manufacturing, processing and use information are all being considered in this reassessment. <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-> <!--[endif]--> From: Vaughn Hagerty fmaiitoj Ex. 6 j Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2017 7:02 AM To: Jones, Enesta <jones.Enesta@epa.gov>; Press <Press@epa.gov> Subject: Media inquiry regarding Chemours in North Carolina Hi, Enesta.
