NC is hog country. The Cape Fear River provides drinking water for 1.5M ppl + a PFAS sacrifice zone since 1980.
Our pigs are probably marinating in it. See NC's PFAS failures in contaminated pigs v NJ actions.

Thank you #CodeGreen for elevating our PFAS contamination crisis and ways communities can fight back! #ClimateSolutions #Sustainability #ClimateTech
The US Army Corps of Engineers basically said approve the project, then we'll test for #PFAS; and, we don't have any guidelines on what to do when we find PFAS in sediment. <---NOT TRUE! 1/
insideclimatenews.org/news/1…
If PFOA or PFOS are found in sediment:
✔️EPA can intervene
✔️Dredging can be altered or restricted
✔️Disposal options become legally constrained
✔️Liability risk explodes
✔️States gain leverage
✔️“We’ll deal with it later” is not defensible 3/

So when the US Army Corp. of Engineers say: “Even if PFAS were found, it’s unclear what could be done”
That's a half truth. It's misdirection and downplaying the legal consequences.
PS: Caswell Beach--y'all need to educate your mayor better. 🤣🤣🤣 4/4

BEAUTIFUL short video about #PFAS. I love my @KEEN hiking boots - PFAS free, and so comfortable.
Thank you for this gorgeous video.

Today is the day! After eight long years, They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals is out. 1/ @CrownPublishing #PFAS

Almost 8 yrs into this fight and we still don’t have federal or state discharge protections for PFAS. Biden failed to finalize EPA’s proposed PFAS ELGs and Trump’s EPA removed the proposal from OMB. 🫠
#NorthCarolina stands to lose $5.34 BILLION in economic activity supported by @NIH.
