24 Jun 2026 The Chemours Company; The Chemours Company FC, LLCChemours: USD 22.5m civil penalty in PFAS settlement with EPA and West Virginia €19.8m
The EPA, the US Department of Justice and West Virginia's environmental agency reached a settlement (consent decree) with Chemours over PFAS discharges into the Cape Fear, Delaware and Ohio rivers, some made without and some in breach of discharge permits, together with TSCA and RCRA violations at four plants. Chemours will pay a civil penalty of 22,500,000 USD in three annual instalments of 7,500,000 USD and carry out remedial measures, including drinking water supply, PFAS controls and a USD 90m mitigation programme, which the EPA puts at over USD 450m in total. The settlement was lodged with the court on 24 June 2026 and is subject to public comment and court approval. The authority allegedly made the findings set out here; this account is not based on a final judgment. The decision is not final.
PFAS manufacturers must continuously check every discharge against their permits – unregulated flows lead to penalties and costly obligations towards local residents.
