We are committed to taking a leadership role in environmental stewardship.

Fayetteville Works

Our most significant responsibility is the protection of people and our environment.

The Fayetteville Works manufacturing site is located on a 2,150-acre site in southeast North Carolina, near the Bladen and Cumberland county line, of which approximately 400 acres is developed. Two other chemical manufacturing operations are located on the site, and together, we employ more than 550 people from the surrounding community.

Through the efforts of site employee volunteers, undeveloped areas of the site are home to many native North Carolina grasses, wildflowers and wildlife species, including deer, wild turkey, squirrels, rabbits and many more.

Four Counties Sampling Plan

NCDEQ requested in November, 2021, that Chemours provide an updated Drinking Water Compliance Plan pursuant to paragraph 24 of the Consent Order (CO) to include a sampling plan for drinking water wells in New Hanover, Brunswick, Columbus, and Pender Counties of North Carolina and to provide replacement drinking water to any qualifying parties.

In response to this request, an Interim Four Counties Sampling and Drinking Water Plan has been prepared that presents a plan for private well sampling and implementation of interim mitigation measures in these four counties.

An information call line has been activated by Chemours: 910-678-1100. This call line is intended to be used for answering questions about the activities covered in this Interim Four Counties Plan and for residents to request sampling of their private wells.

In addition, Chemours has an online form that can be filled out to request private drinking water well sampling: Well Sampling Form

Chemours will evaluate your request and schedule for sampling if your address meets the criteria established in the plan.

COVID Protocols

In response to COVID-19, Chemours is taking the following steps in regard to the off-site residential drinking water program being implemented under the Consent Order.

Bottled water will continue to be delivered to eligible residents as scheduled, and supplemental water will be available at our plant site on Mondays from 2-6 p.m. and Saturdays 8-10 a.m. for eligible residents with barcoded letters. Voucher cards are also available for eligible residents who wish to purchase their own water in lieu of delivery through Chemours. Call 910-678-1101 for more information.
Chemours has resumed residential well sampling as of June 1, 2020. Residents should call 910-678-1101 to determine well sampling eligibility and schedule well sampling.
Chemours has also resumed RO and GAC installations as of June 22, 2020, and eligible residents should call 910-678-1101 to schedule installations.
Maintenance of RO units will continue to be provided if necessary, as requested by the resident and with the resident's approval to be on the property or enter the premise.
Regular Operation and Maintenance and Monitoring (O&MM) and Quarterly sampling of GAC units will continue, as noted below;
- The team will provide a resident notification of pending GAC O&MM by phone call, email or text message (residents preference); If the team does not hear back from the resident, the O&MM at the GAC shed will be completed; and
- The team will leave behind a note for the resident that O&MM has been completed.

Chemours will supplement these steps as needed.
