Governing Body - Resolution to Request NCDEQ to Require Tenants of Fayetteville Works to Cease Operations that Result in the Production of Fluorochemical Compounds (Vice-Chairman Thompson)

Issue/Action Requested:
Request that the Board of Commissioners approve a Resolution requesting NCDEQ to require tenants of the Fayetteville Works site to cease operations that result in the production of fluorochemical compounds.
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.

County Manager's Recommendation:
Recommend that the Board of Commissioners approve a Resolution requesting NCDEQ to require tenants of the Fayetteville Works site to cease operations that result in the production of fluorochemical compounds.
