The Chemours Company (“Chemours”) was created in July 2015 through the spin-off of the DuPont Performance Chemicals unit. This spin-off included the DuPont fluoropolymers business, which today is part of Chemours. Chemours has never made or used PFOA. *PFOA, or C8, is a processing aid that was widely used by many manufacturers to produce a broad range of industrial and consumer products for more than 60 years. Over the same period, the chemical industry and its regulators, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have also learned a great deal about the environmental and potential health impacts of PFOA. DuPont studied PFOA carefully for decades and promptly notified federal, state regulatory and local authorities of its findings. *Nearly a decade before the creation of Chemours, DuPont agreed to participate in U.S. EPA 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Program, which meant committing to phase out the use of PFOA by 2015. To meet that commitment, DuPont developed a new polymerization aid to replace the use of PFOA in the manufacture of fluoropolymers. DuPont stopped manufacturing and using PFOA in 2013, well ahead of the schedule to which it had committed. *Knowledge about PFOA continues to evolve. Nevertheless, at no time during the period, PFOA was released from the DuPont Washington Works facility did anyone at DuPont ever believe it was likely to harm anyone. These releases complied with the law and occurred with the full knowledge of regulators. *Because of the biopersistence of PFOA, DuPont voluntarily tested the water in communities surrounding Washington Works to ascertain levels of PFOA in the water. When it detected PFOA that exceeded conservative guidelines, it took responsible steps to remediate. DuPont also voluntarily convened community advisory panels and discussed with community representatives the issue of PFOA in drinking water and what was then known about potential PFOA health effects. *To date, in cooperation with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, extensive efforts have been taken to sample and treat public and private drinking water wells. Over the past 15 years, more than 700 wells in the Ohio and West Virginia have been sampled, and granulated activated carbon filtration installed for approximately 85 private drinking water wells in that region and seven municipal water treatment systems.
