DEQ issues violation notice to Chemours for unreported chemical spill

DEQ issues violation notice to Chemours for unreported chemical spill

RALEIGH – The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality has cited Chemours with violating the conditions of its wastewater discharge permit because the company failed to report an Oct. 6 chemical spill at its Fayetteville Works facility.

The violation notice demands that Chemours submit within 10 days to DEQ information about the duration and quantity of the dimer acid fluoride and any other chemicals spilled, as well as a description of all actions the company took to stop the spill.

Chemours faces a possible fine for this violation, depending on the outcome of DEQ’s investigation into the spill. The Chemours permit requires that DEQ be notified within 24 hours of any discharge of significant amounts of waste that are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, as well as any non-compliance that potentially threatens public health or the environment.

DEQ questioned Chemours officials in early November after receiving preliminary data from water samples the state agency collected that indicated elevated concentrations of GenX at Chemours’ primary wastewater discharge outfall.

After being questioned by DEQ, the company admitted to DEQ that a spill had occurred four weeks earlier on Oct. 6 from a manufacturing line at the Chemours facility. The company told state officials that dimer acid fluoride, a precursor to GenX, had spilled.

“It is both unlawful and unacceptable for a company to fail to report a chemical spill to the state and public as soon as possible,” said Michael Regan, Secretary for the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality. “We will take all appropriate enforcement action to hold Chemours accountable for failing to comply with its permit.”

By state law, Chemours must be provided an opportunity to respond to a notice of violation before a civil penalty can be assessed. DEQ will review the company’s response and any additional information the company submits before determining further enforcement.

2019 Revaluation

Pender County Tax Assessor Announces Field Work for the 2019 County-wide Revaluation to begin

BURGAW –  Fieldwork to update images and tax data on all parcels in Pender County will commence on Oct. 16. The Pender County Tax Office has contracted with Tyler Technologies, Inc. of Dayton, Ohio to provide detailed, high-resolution street-level images.

Tyler Technology field staff will photograph properties from customized vans that will be marked as part of the Pender County Imaging Project. The imaging crews will be working throughout the County for approximately twelve weeks.

Please note the following:

  • All personnel assigned to this project have been issued photo ID bangles that must be visible at all times.
  • The Pender County Sheriff’s Department has been notified of van descriptions, locations, and crew information.
  • All photographs will be taken from the public right of ways, however, when this is impractical; every effort will be made to be unobtrusive. Crew members have been authorized to access driveways or private lanes when necessary.

The tax assessor greatly appreciates the cooperation of the citizens of Pender County during this project.

For more information, please contact the Office of the Tax Assessor at 910- 259-1221.
