SUBJECT: Air Contaminant Emissions Request
Air Quality Permit No. 03735T43
Chemours Company ayetteville Works
Facility ID: 0900009, ayetteville, Bladen County
Facility Classi?cation: Title 

Dear Mr. McGaughy:

As our Department works to understand the full extent of the potential environmental impacts of GenX
and other emerging contaminants produced and/or used at the Chemours (and previously DuPont)

ayetteville Works facility, the Division of Air Quality (DAQ) is requesting information as to whether
GenX and other emerging contaminants are currently, or have been, emitted as an air Contaminant. While
prior air emissions documentation submitted by Chemours for the year 2016 contains GenX air emissions
data, we are requesting additional information related to GenX and other emerging contaminants for the
years 2012 through the present. This information is being requested under authority in NCGS 143-


The attached form outlines the speci?c information DAQ seeks regarding air contaminant data, source
information, site data, building speci?cations and associated information. For the purposes of this
information request, ?emerging contaminants? shall be de?ned as those in the table at the end of this
letter. Information related to GenX should be submitted as soon as possible, but no more than 14 days
from the date of this letter, while the requested information related to other emerging contaminants should
be submitted as soon as possible, but no more than 21 days from the date of this letter.

The DAQ also requests any air emissions source (stack) tests Chemours may have conducted at any
facility for any of the compounds identi?ed in this letter, including test results, methods used, and

protocols.
Please submit the requested information to:
