Fayetteville Works Plant begins work, (it sits right nearby cape fear) -
PFOA begins to be discharged
Fayetteville Works Plant (Dupont) has been found to have been discharging its byproduct (PFOA) since 1980! -
DuPont is punished
DuPoint is warned by the EPA not to have anything in the drinking water above 14,000 ppt... If it exceeded that DuPoint would have to pay for new water sources for all who were affected. -
The Company Discontinues PFOA, And Dupont begins manufacturing the chemical at Fayetteville Works Plant
begins manufacturing the chemical at Fayetteville Works Plant -
DuPoint is punished, Again...
DuPont pays $10.25 million in civil penalties and $6.25 million for "supplemental environmental projects" -
Dupont informs EPA about a new chemical...
Dupont tells the EPA about a new chemical called GenX..they say its a byproduct of a different manufacturing process. -
To This Day.......
To this day (as far as I have seen) DuPont still is releasing GenX into the waters and possibly causing cancer and other illness to it's drinkers. (picture is of Kara Kenan, who has breast cancer and it is presumed that it came form the chemicals in Cape Fear)
