Background/Purpose of Request:
On February 14, 2018, the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority Board (CFPUA) unanimously passed a Resolution calling on the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) to require all tenants of the Fayetteville Works site cease operations resulting in the production of fluorochemical compounds. New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington have also adopted similar resolutions.
Brunswick County Public Utility's water source is also the Cape Fear River and standard treatment plants are not able to treat raw water for these chemical compounds. |
