Cape Fear River Watch is organized by the event “Postcards Against Pfas” from 5:30 p.m. to May 20, May 6th to give community members the opportunity to deal with several upcoming PFAS issues.

The meeting takes place in Waterline Brewing, 721 Surry St., in downtown Wilmington. Cape Fear River Watch provides residents pizza and postcards who want to send public comments to state officials who influence the PFAS regulations.

“If there was ever a time to hear her voice about Pfas -said it now,” said Dana Sargent, Executive Director of Cape Fear River Watch.

On Wednesday, the Environmental Management Commission will consider to advance a proposed PFAS monitoring and minimization plan in which the industry has to examine the PFAS discharge without punishing pollution.

Sargent described the plan as “worse than nothing” because he would offer Pfas entertainers without enforcing limits for liability protection.

In the meantime, local legislators such as Senator Michael Lee, Rep. Ted Davis and Rep. Deb Butler have introduced invoices to implement PFAS borders and to make industry liable for the clean -up costs. Cape Fear River Watch asks the members of the community to contact local officials about outstanding PFAS bills while they are discussed in the general assembly.

Cape Fear River Watch has carried out a wide range of legal measures to fix the PFAS pollution in North Carolina. The group's lawsuit against Chemours culminated in a declaration of consent from 2019, in which the multinational companies contain a number of PFAS reduction requirements. Recently, CFRW participated in legal disputes to oblige chemicals to disclose PFAS-related documents and to limit the upstream 1.4-dioxan pollution of the city of Asheboro.
