WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Thom Tillis issued the following statement on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) announcement to no longer allow Chemours to import GenX from their overseas facility to their facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina: 

“I am glad the EPA reversed its decision to allow wastewater with GenX to be sent to a facility in Fayetteville. It is vital all North Carolinians have access to safe water, and I’ll continue my work to address the risks posed by emerging PFAS contaminants, just like we did with the historic clean water investment in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.” 

Senator Tillis previously sent a letter with Congressmen Rouzer and Hudson to EPA Administrator Regan outlining concern with the shipment.
