## Resource

North Carolina just secured a historic $600 million settlement with Chemours over PFAS contamination in the Cape Fear River — a vital water source for 500,000 people. This is the state’s largest environmental damage payout ever, funding cleanup in 11 affected towns and strengthening court orders to ensure accountability. Crucially, if Chemours fails, its parent company DuPont now bears responsibility for cleanup costs. While federal settlements already exist, local concerns remain — including an upcoming town hall in Cumberland County. The focus? Restoring clean, safe drinking water for communities still grappling with toxic legacy chemicals. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
