Chemours cannot keep documents sealed, federal judge rules
A federal judge has ruled that Chemours and its predecessor company cannot conceal thousands of documents from the public, denying their request to seal information they claimed was commercially sensitive. The ruling allows public utilities and local governments to access documents related to a lawsuit over PFAS discharges into the Cape Fear River, supporting transparency for communities affected by contamination. This decision comes as Chemours seeks to expand production, raising further concerns from environmental groups and affected residents.
