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.
