Lawsuit Continues Over PFAS Impacts
The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) continues its nine-year lawsuit against Chemours over PFAS contamination in drinking water, despite having installed advanced filtration systems costing $91 million. While these filters effectively remove many PFAS compounds, new concerns are arising from ultrashort-chain PFAS, which are harder to filter and for which less health data is available. Chemours is also seeking regulatory approval for an expansion at its Fayetteville plant, which local officials and environmental groups oppose given ongoing contamination discoveries.
