Governor and AG Criticize EPA’s Chemours Settlement

The recent settlement between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Chemours has drawn sharp criticism from North Carolina’s Governor and Attorney General. They argue that the agreement falls short in effectively addressing environmental concerns, particularly regarding the release of harmful chemicals into the environment.

Governor Roy Cooper and Attorney General Josh Stein expressed their disappointment, stating that the settlement does not adequately protect public health and the environment. They emphasized the need for stricter regulations and more robust actions to ensure that Chemours is held accountable for its environmental impact.

The settlement is part of a larger effort to regulate the chemical industry, but critics believe it lacks the necessary provisions to prevent future contamination. Both officials have called for further action to safeguard communities affected by Chemours’ operations.
