Judicial Watch: Chemours Slapped with New Lawsuit over GenX
Last week, state environmental groups followed through on their earlier warning, and sued Chemours for failing to stop its emissions of toxic pollutants, including GenX.
Documents filed by the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) on behalf of Cape Fear River Watch outline continued air and water pollution through stack emissions, leaking pipes, unlined pits, wastewater ditches, and contaminated equipment, in violation of federal law.
“Hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians get their drinking water downstream from Chemours’ toxic discharge,” said Kemp Burdette, Cape Fear Riverkeeper, in a statement. “This illegal contamination can’t stop soon enough for them and Chemours and DuPont must be held accountable for their reckless behavior.”
