We appreciate your willingness to help. The most important thing is to be assured of close cooperation between the state and local officials and EPA at all levels so that we can take the steps needed to reassure the local community that their drinking water is safe or, if there are issues that need to be addressed, that all parties are working as quickly as possible to address those issues.

It apparently has not been analyzed by the EPA and its safety is questioned, thanks From: Rozsa, Gabe Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2017 10:35 PM To: Jackson, Ryan; Black, Charlie Cc: Stuaan, Abbi Subject: RE: New Hanover County Water Issue Ryan, 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00003515-00002 Thank you for the quick response. 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.
