## Resource

A historic $590 million settlement is poised to transform PFAS cleanup in North Carolina, with Chemours, Corteva, and DuPont collectively stepping up to address decades of contamination from their Fayetteville Works plant. Eleven impacted communities will receive $380 million, while the state gets $75 million — with Chemours covering half the payment and the others splitting the rest. An additional $135 million reserve fund ensures long-term cleanup efforts continue. This landmark deal, coming just before a major court case, underscores accountability for “forever chemicals” that persist in the environment and pose serious health risks — including cancer — and marks the largest environmental damages recovery in North Carolina’s history.
