Chemours' plan to clean up forever chemicals in NC is ‘deficient,' state DEQ says

A chemical corporation that knowingly leaked forever chemicals into North Carolina’s air and water for decades has been working on a long-term plan to clean up its mess. But now, state environmental officials say the company’s cleanup plan has stalled and doesn’t go far enough to remove toxic chemicals as required by law. The chemicals have spread through rivers and groundwater in the Fayetteville region, the lower Cape Fear River basin and throughout major aquifers that supply water to southeastern North Carolina. In comments sent to the chemical company Chemours on Monday, the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality identified nearly 40 specific ways that Chemours needs to expand or strengthen its cleanup plan. “Today’s direction to the company makes clear that DEQ expects Chemours to clean up all the areas they have polluted,” DEQ secretary Reid Wilson said in a Monday news release. “DEQ will hold Chemours accountable no matter how long it takes.” PFAS, known as forever chemicals for their inability to break down in the environment, can be extremely toxic to human health when consumed at high concentrations. PFAS have been found to increase the risk of some cancers, weaken the immune system, and cause reproductive and developmental

Why DEQ let a Raleigh real estate agent take over a troubled Wayne County hog farm

A Raleigh real estate agent with no hog farming experience bought a Wayne County farm infamous for a massive 2022 waste spill, and it has kept leaking sludge into public waterways. State regulators approved his permit to run the site without a background check and have little power beyond issuing fines, which the owner hasn’t paid. FULL STORY: Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill Here are key takeaways: Wallace Green, a Raleigh real estate agent operating as Biox Renewables — a one-person LLC with no website or office — bought the former White Oak Farms at auction in 2024 despite never having run such an operation. The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality does not perform background checks or require financial disclosures from applicants. Spokesperson Josh Kastrinsky said the only confirmation sought was that Green had a registered LLC. DEQ has fined Biox three times this year — $10,697 in May, $7,347 in August and $5,280 in September — but Green hasn’t paid any of them and insists he’s “in compliance.” He is also over a year behind on required reports.

Raleigh may rename part of New Bern Avenue for first Black mayor. What to know

Advocates in Southeast Raleigh want to rename a stretch of New Bern Avenue after Clarence E. Lightner, the city’s first popularly elected Black mayor. City, state and federal officials met in October to discuss the possibility. FULL STORY: A new name for Raleigh’s New Bern Avenue? City’s first Black mayor could be honored Here are key takeaways: Longtime activist Octavia Rainey is leading the push to honor Lightner on signs from Person Street to WakeMed, a corridor that runs through neighborhoods where he held influence for decades. Lightner served as mayor from 1973-75 and was part of the “Oval Table Gang” that strategized with civil rights pioneers Ralph and June Campbell to end segregation peacefully. He died in 2002. The proposed stretch includes a downtown post office and the Terry Sanford federal building, meaning a name change would affect their addresses. Rainey concedes the process will take time. Raleigh’s four main downtown streets going east, west, north and south were originally named for the towns they led to, including New Bern. The avenue is currently midway through a transformation that will bring North Carolina’s first rapid-transit bus line.
