CHEMOURS ORDERED TO SUPPLY BOTTLED WATER TO MORE LOCAL RESIDENTS: State regulators told the chemical company under fire for releasing GenX into the Cape Fear River to supply more nearby residents with bottled water after tests showed elevated levels of the unregulated chemical in their water. The state Department of Environmental Quality and Chemours, the chemical firm that spun off from DuPont in 2015, began testing residential wells near the company's Bladen County plant for GenX and other related fluorinated compounds earlier this month. That sampling has so far shown that 19 wells have concentrations of GenX in their water above the state's health threshold of 140 parts per trillion.
