AG Jackson Challenges EPA Chemours Deal

North Carolina’s Attorney General Jeff Jackson is sounding the alarm over a proposed EPA deal with Chemours, calling it too lenient and insufficient for the communities harmed by decades of PFAS contamination. While the federal agreement focuses on monitoring GenX releases and funding pollution controls across multiple states, Jackson argues the bulk of the money goes elsewhere and North Carolina’s needs are grossly underfunded — especially given the scale of groundwater pollution. He also slammed federal agencies for excluding his office from negotiations and accused the settlement of prioritizing Chemours’ legal protection over real environmental justice. Environmental advocates echoed his concerns, warning the deal overlooks other harmful PFAS chemicals and may shield the company from future accountability. Despite a separate state agreement already in place, Jackson vows to keep pushing for full responsibility and remediation. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
