The chemical company Chemours reported $1.4 billion in net sales in the first quarter. The Trump Administration’s E.P.A. reached a settlement with the company, which has been dumping PFAS into North Carolina waterways, to pay a fine of $480 million. The company should be able to afford that rather easily.
Chemours will not be asked to clean up the PFAS. The Company also does not need to make public its “plans” to clean up future contamination.
The E.P.A. is also repealing some of the Biden Administration limits on PFAS in drinking water. And so it goes.
