Discharge by The Chemours Company into the Cape Fear River is measured in ‘parts per billion’, (ppb). Will be interesting to continue research to determine ‘who’ and ‘what’ is being added to the river that we may not know about, by whomever. Clean water should be protected, no question, however, if DEQ rules have not been exceeded, going back to the early 2000s, what’s next? Millions of dollars have been spent on facilities, hundreds of employee jobs could be affected. Determine if discharge is within the scope of permits, if not, it should be. Then make sure everyone abides by same rules, up-stream and down-stream. This is not a political game, it is serious business for the public, for The Chemours Company, their employees and for Bladen County.
I realize it is not that easy, but hopefully, doable. Repeating, we need clean water, good companies to provide good jobs, and clear rules by the rule-makers.
(applause) Thank you, thank you…hold the applause…..Just thoughts by an ‘over the hill’ observer.
We can create new ways to create clean water. Craig Venter
I couldn’t imagine not having clean water. Chris Tucker
Everyone wants clean air and clean water, but my hope is that we will not regulate it to the point where we drive businesses and industries out of this country, to the point where entrepreneurs cannot start or expand their businesses because they simply can’t afford to do so. Bob Latta
