"Forever Chemicals: North Carolina's Toxic Tap Water" premiered on WRAL-TV at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23.

<p>We're all contaminated. We made baby bottles with it. We made their formula like that's what we did. When I take a shower, I am showering in contaminated water that we are bathing and cooking and cleaning and contaminated water. All of these North Carolinians are talking about the toxic chemicals found in their water. Now, that water coming out right there is contaminated. I don't think people realize how screwed up this situation is. I'm tired of, to be honest, watch your friends fight cancer. You shouldn't have to worry that your water at your home is making your family sick that it's unacceptable. The chemicals were dumped into their water supply by a plant in North Carolina. Chemistry Powers today. Good thing. It's at camo, we can owned by Kors, a subsidiary of Dupont. It infuriated all of us to learn that Kors have been dumping this chemical compound into our Cape Fear River for decades. Cape Fear provides drinking water for hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians in the southeastern part of the state. We should not have to live this way and it's all because of them and what they done. They thought it was paradise. I can run from my house to the beach and it's great marathon runner Beth Klein Marino, her husband and daughter moved from Michigan to North Carolina to live by the water and grow their family. Beth had just completed back to back races. I took like a little break from, you know, to give my body a break and stuff and we got pregnant, you know, and we weren't planning on it, but we were really happy a son, they would name Samuel. Here's her daughter announcing the big news. This is all, this is all I have of um Samuel. What's, what's in here? Yes, this is blanket. There's lots of clothes that we bought because we thought we'd be taking home a baby and not losing one, a son. They'd only get to meet for a few moments and we had like a proper funeral for him. You know, all my cousins, aunts and uncles, you would have thought Samuel like lived to 90. We came home and then started, you know, to heal and stuff. And then that's when found out about Gen X in our water and right away, I just thought, could this have caused the problems with my son? The problems with me? Good morning, everyone. Welcome. I appreciate you all being here. Why is Gen X being just charged into the river? Like every few days we're hearing about more genx. In 2017, the world learned toxic chemicals and by products had been dumped in the Cape Fear River. The water supply for Beth and hundreds of thousands of others in Wilmington and surrounding areas was contaminated with these chemicals. The chemicals are part of a class of compounds known as PFAS dangerous man made toxins called Forever chemicals because they never break down and build up in our bodies and the environment. Forever chemicals have been linked to negative health problems including cancer, liver damage and birth defects. Scientist Jamie Dewitt has been studying forever chemicals like PFAS and PFOA since 2005. We know that exposure to P foa through drinking water especially has been linked to many different human health problems, linkages for testicular and kidney cancer, depression of vaccine antibody responses, elevations in cholesterol in the blood and problems with pregnancy and development. I mean, what kind of keeps you up at night when you, when you think about people just drinking this, I think about effects of pfas exposure on babies and Children and adolescents because they're not fully formed. And I'm like, got your good old pregnancy book that says nothing about po in here. And then we soon found out that Samuel didn't develop his kidneys bladder or bowels and I had placenta problems. Beth Marino. Beth was part of a 2017 NC state study which found higher than normal levels of P A. In 97% of participants. I found out that I had really high levels of multiple p in my blood. She has no proof it caused Samuel's death. I will never know the exact levels that Samuel had. But if I had it in my blood, then he had to have it too. And Beth has been trying to get answers for years. I lost my son and I did drink the water. She spoke at the very first news conference about Jen X in 2017. I don't think you should advise them to drink this water because I drank that water. She's part of a class action lawsuit against Kors and she created the nonprofit North Carolina Stop Gen X in our water every day. I have people message me and call me and they're wondering the same thing, the water I'm drinking toxic. Is it causing me or my Children to be sick? Was created in the 19 forties. It became popular in the 1960 s when Dupont's non Stick Cookware made Teflon a household name. Well, good thing. Now it's in everything from makeup to waterproof clothing, to fast food wrappers. One of the leading manufacturers of these Forever Chemicals is here in North Carolina outside of Fayetteville on the Cape River. Dupont started making PFAS in Fayetteville. In 1980 later, they introduced a New Forever chemical called Genx. Dupont spun off its P fast division into a company named Camo in 2015. But in the process of manufacturing the chemical, they were discharging it directly into the Cape Fair River and they were emitting it in the air and in the air, it could go for miles and then when it lands on the ground, it could fall into folks drinking water. Wells. Tests show forever. Chemicals have seeped into at least 7000 wells across an area spanning 800 square miles surrounding the Fayetteville plant. They found 16 different chemicals in my Well, Mike Waters lives near the plant in Fayetteville in a community called Grays Creek. He talked to us after surviving a massive heart attack. These are actually tomatoes, green peppers, some hot sweet peppers. He's also been fighting a rare form of leukemia. You know, I I make a joke 23 years in special forces and enemy couldn't kill me. This is what feeds the water to the house. But you know what my water here will. Now he's on the front lines of this crisis. I actually literally care about my neighbors. I'm fighting hard for the community, recruiting neighbors like Jamie White. She's lived in Grace Creek since 2008 is legally required to provide bottled water to people with contaminated wells. We go through probably 10 bottles of water a day. These gallon size jugs, we're soaked every day trying to lift and juggle and move because as you can see how full these are, Jamie gets 30 bottles of water delivered to her home every two weeks to drink and cook with y'all. You actually don't even realize how much water you use. She always runs out. What is this gonna do to my kids? The chemicals. What are they doing to the kids? It's a fear shared by everyone. Wral, environmental reporter, Liz mclaughlin and I interviewed at Jamie White's house one afternoon, all have contaminated water and all wanted to share what life has been like. I think it's disgusting. It's like heartbreaking. It can't kill me. It's not harming the people. My doctors and Duke actually told me if I drank out the tap, it would make my cancer worse than what it is right now. Go, go, go. Carrie Atkins has thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs and liver. She and her animals live in a trailer a few miles from Jamie, a 2023 study shows elevated PFA in the blood of dogs and horses tested in Grace Creek. My dog has cancer. He's literally fighting for his life right now. She can't afford to pick up and leave like I want to move, but I can't move. I'm stuck in the cell and the only thing that goes through my mind is, well, well, my fur babies and I die together because we're all battling. She is closer to me than my actual sister is and to watch her go through all this with her house and her dogs, it breaks my heart and it scares me and I refuse to even run my water. Britney Tripp lives next to Carrie. Her son has autoimmune issues. Am I going to turn out like Harry and have cancer? Is my son going to develop cancer from this? It's a mother's worst nightmare thinking about this with Children. This is so beyond just giving us a bottle of water. Kelly Arthur and her family moved to Grace Creek in 1997. Our daughter at the age of 20 was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Our neighbor across the street from us was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. All of their wells had gen X and I just don't think that that's a coincidence. And while many get bottled water to drink and some have gotten filters installed and paid for by camo in the way it works, the water comes in here, it goes through a sediment filter. Thousands still have to use contaminated water every day. What we're bathing in, what we're showering, what we're watering our gardens that is, we're still using the contaminated water. I've lost plans. Like I said, friends from cancer. Couples explain to their families, explain to their grandkids why they're not here. So, Vicky Mullen's own grandchildren live with her. How do you tell a five year old he can't take a bath because they tell you not to sit in the water. You can shower in it but you cannot, you know, you can't take a bath in it. This is our life right here. This is crazy. She's sick of living with bottled water and fighting for clean water. I feel like they're waiting on us to die. Oh, they'll, they'll stop. They're gonna die. So it, it doesn't matter, I'm going down fighting and I'm not giving up coming up. They went from one small town to another small town. They had to know the truth because we know what happened up in West Virginia. They know this was kind of like part two in a, in a horror tale. Dupont had been making PFOA including a forever chemical called C eight in West Virginia. Since the 19 fifties. Internal memos from the 19 eighties show Dupont knew about possible birth defects in babies born to women working in the Teflon Department. In the nineties, a farmer sued Dupont after the company bought his land to dump materials and hundreds of his cows died in 2001. His attorney filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of 50,000 people in the Ohio River area. When they learned Dupont had been contaminating their water. The moment the news broke in Parkersburg, West Virginia 20 years ago, should have been the moment that everyone started looking at. Where is this happening elsewhere in the country? And let's make sure we stop it. Now, permits show Dupont was producing Teflon at the Fayetteville plant since at least 2006. Then later, Gen X. Gen X was supposed to be a safer alternative. But Dupont's own lab studies showed the replacement caused liver and kidney problems and cancerous tumors in rats. In 2017, Reporter Vaugh Haggerty uncovered Gen X was found in the Cape Fear River. I couldn't believe this was going on. Kors which was spun off from Dupont in 2015 has never denied the dumping. They told local officials that this stuff had been in the water since for almost 40 years. Kamo said it did not violate any laws because genx was not listed as a pollutant by the EPA, meaning the company was in compliance with its state discharge permit. Neither Kors nor Dupont ever admitted wrongdoing even after paying more than $670 million to settle thousands of lawsuits in Ohio and West Virginia. It's there. Emily Donovan, a mom in Wilmington, co founded the group Clean Cape Fear. The subcommittee will come to order. She's fought for Camo to pay for clean up today. I'd like to speak to you as a mother who has spent the last two years getting a crash course in biochemistry. Friends who fought alongside her got sick. It's not fair. It's not fair. This happened. Emily's neighbor, Amy Shan was diagnosed with a rare cancer affecting the head and neck. Her husband, Jonathan said things got bad fast. 90% of those diagnosed are still alive. Five years later, she didn't last two years. Something had to accelerate. That tests show PFAS from the Fayetteville site in their water and Amy's blood. If they're the one that put the chemicals in the water and that's what caused my wife to lose time on her life and lose the time to be with her daughter. They should be a fault for it. Clean. Cape Fear member Tom Kennedy traveled to Washington DC to show lawmakers what a dad fighting to live looked like. He really wanted to make sure that his face and the girl's faces were seen. He died of male breast cancer in 2022. Leaving behind his wife Christine and their two daughters. I want you to look at my family and understand that my family could be your family. These families admit they can't prove forever. Chemicals directly caused their loved ones to get sick. While multiple studies from the National Cancer Institute and Centers for Disease Control link PFAS to increased cancer risk, that doesn't prove causation. Amos spokesperson pointed to two studies that show rates for some cancers were not significantly higher in the counties impacted by gen X contamination from 2011 to 2015. However, the agency behind one of those studies, ncds said in some counties, some cancer rates including testicular and liver cancers were significantly higher than the state rate. An agency spokesperson said a comprehensive research study is needed. We don't know, but we deserve to know. We brought these concerns to the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Michael Regan. They absolutely deserve to know what is causing or what has caused or potentially caused any of these illnesses. Regan used to be in charge of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. In 2019, a settlement between Deq and Comores resulted in a consent order requiring Comores to stop polluting pfas into the air and water surrounding the plants. Comores must also sample wells provide bottled water or if the levels of PFAS are high enough, provide filters in Grace Creek Jamie White just got her filter installed but said it took fighting with Camoes for five years. A very long five years of tears and fighting and yelling through the phone because they don't want to listen and they didn't want to do their part. Jamie's next door neighbors, the grimes family just moved in. They don't have a filter. So Kelly Grimes bathes her newborn in the sink using the bottled water. Kors sends I won't bathe him in the water. I won't let him have contact with it. I don't clean his toys off with the water. Do you regret buying the house? I regret buying it because I know that there are issues that are going to come. I have four other Children that are bathing and showering in the Kims. Water Kors is not required to provide water or filters to people in Wilmington. So I guess the people that can't afford it, we should just all drink the water and hopefully not die. And the company does not have to pay to remove PFAS from the Cape Fear River that cost falls on the customer. Haggerty went from reporter who broke the Gen X story. So this is the Director of Communications at the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority Utility Authority spent $43 million on filters to remove PFAS from the water. So these were designed to specifically do what these were designed specifically to remove Kors. P the filters are working but Kors didn't pay for it. They were the ones who poisoned the water, not us. So they should have to clean it up. North Carolina. Attorney General, Josh Stein has filed lawsuits against Dupont and Kors. Now they engage in these sales and changing who owns what it's all malarkey. It's all nonsense. It's all about avoiding responsibility. In March of 2023 Michael Regan's EPA proposed the first ever drinking water standard to establish legally enforceable levels of six pfas chemicals to near zero including two original Teflon chemicals, but there are more than 9000 chemicals in this class and one tweak of the compound means a whole new forever chemical to be researched and potentially regulated. Yes, we've started with six of the most dangerous that we are aware of these companies who will undeniably litigate against our standards. We want to be sure that they can stand up in court. Kas sued the EPA in 2022 for setting a health advisory for Genx claiming the agency failed to use the best science when making its determination. Residents worry the company will fight the drinking water standard too. They still swear that this stuff is safe and that we're all crazy. Good neighbors care at Camoes. We care. Next, Kim Morse is not a good neighbor. If I had a neighbor like that, I'd say please move. Has a great pr team. Good neighbors care at Coors. We care. North Carolina is our home. Our quality of life and environment must be protected. The good Neighbor campaign is absolutely insulting. They are not a good neighbor. Our goal a 99% reduction by 20 30. The Coors commercials never mention its contaminants from the Fayetteville works facility. They are trying to eliminate you did bad, you poisoned us and now you're trying to get like applauded for making efforts to fix what you did. As part of the 2019 consent order, Kao's started filtering PFAS from its waste water and installed a $100 million thermal oxidizer to stop emitting pfas into the air. They had installed one in Parkersburg, West Virginia decades ago. Why did they wait until they were forced by a court order to install it here in Fayetteville, North Carolina. They were saving money at our expense. The new barrier wall is under construction. The company was also required to build a barrier wall to contain the pollution seeping out below the plant. And it's just a joke because it's already in there. This wall isn't going to save us. In June, 2023 Kors completed the barrier wall after missing the state imposed deadline twice in 2022 Kors announced plans to expand production in Fayetteville after paying more than $300,000 in fines to the state for environmental violations. So, you know, all of us around the plant already realize that expansion, it's going to happen. It doesn't matter how hard we scream. Kors says the expansion won't increase PFAS emissions. I don't really see many answers that talk about the science in detail or that really show the degree of empathy that should be shown. Says I'm the big sister, my daughter never got to wear it. Scientist Jamie Dewitt, who has met Beth Klein Marchesin through her research said she's doing the work for babies like Samuel Beth, I think experienced a life changing event through the loss of her child. She lives in an area where we know PFAS contamination has existed at high levels for many years, maybe even decades. And I'm doing the best job that I can do as a scientist to try to get more information on the scientific level to help decision makers move forward. So that what happened to you doesn't happen to anybody else. I don't want the loss of my son to go like for him to just, you know, die in vain. And because I know there's just so many other people that are, they're hurting and don't know why.</p>

I want to take a look at Futurecast, putting it into motion through the rest of the day. You can see those mostly sunny skies again, maybe a few clouds later this afternoon. And then as we head toward the dinner hour, this version of future cast has some showers perhaps moving in as early as seven or eight o'clock into our northern counties, maybe through the triangle around nine or 10 o'clock and lingering till midnight into the early morning hours of Sunday. So we can't rule out a light shower anytime from maybe six or seven pm into the overnight hours. Just want to keep that in mind if you have any plans to be outside later this evening, it will not amount, amount to very much, just something to keep in mind and be prepared for this all clears out of here overnight. And for tomorrow, it looks like an absolutely gorgeous Mother's Day with sunshine all day long. The humidity levels are gonna be really comfortable today. And again, tomorrow, highs tomorrow, right around 80 degrees and that humidity stays comfortable uh into Monday. And then by Tuesday it starts to get a little stickier around here. And with that extra moisture, we do have a chance of seeing some showers and thunderstorms. Those chances really start to build Monday night. Tuesday right now looks pretty wet with showers and storms. High temperatures in the mid seventies for Tuesday with all of that rain still have a chance of seeing some showers and storms lingering into Wednesday before a little bit of a lull in the precipitation. By Thursday, temperatures pretty close to normal as we head through the rest of the week. Normal. This time of year is about 80 degrees. We're not seeing any summer like heat. It's gonna feel pretty seasonable for this time of year.

Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour talks about facing a 3-0 series deficit against the New York Rangers and looks ahead to Game 4 on Saturday.

<p>Ok. Rock Sebastian was mentioned, the ac Sebastian mentioned today, it seemed pretty spirited practice that everybody got some got out of their system. Yeah, I mean, that's the only way you can do. It. Certainly don't want to feel sorry for yourselves or anything that it's a new day and you got a new challenge tomorrow, put our best foot forward, you reconfigured the power play units a little bit in practice today is that I'm assuming it's more about execution than personnel at this point. Yeah, it always is. It always comes down to that. We had good players and maybe it was two units doesn't really, you know, scrambling the players around. I don't know how much that's gonna change. You gotta get a little more, um, dialed in on, on, uh, the execution part. You had tr check here for a couple of years. Is there anything that he's doing this series of surprises? No, we talked about him. Yeah. No, and we knew he was a good player so we got him and tried to keep him but didn't work out. I mean, business and, uh, you know, he's certainly been a huge factor how difficult is Canar to deal with. I mean, you know, obviously scored as many points in the head but he's been hardly the only guy that's, well, they got, they got that. I mean, like some real high talent. I mean, that's, that's, you know, you, you could tend to shut them down or try to for a little while but they just need a, a hair and all of a sudden they make you pay and that's, that's why they're elite, you know, um, among the other things that they do, but that's, that's the separator, you, your top on everything we ask for that, you know, below them. They, they're generating all the other ones are generating chances but the goal is high. Is there any concern with that aspect of it? Um, well, yeah, I mean, it's definitely concern. That's why we're in a hole we're in as well. But it's, it's, you know, like, what are you gonna do? You gotta, we know that one area we have to be better at and then the rest side we can't fault around it because it's just, you know, otherwise you have no chance. So we're, we're, you know, in a tough spot. We know that, but it's the old story boring where you gotta just worry about one game and see where it goes, what's missing on the power play that was there and the amateur series there, we'll see what's not. Yeah, I think we're just a little off on. Um, well, it's, listen, you gotta give them credit. I think that's the first thing you do. They're, they're doing their system really well and they're knowing when the pressure and what not, and we just haven't handled that the way we normally do. And I think that's really the beginning of it. Right. Obviously you guys have had a high shot volume for the first three games. Do you think just Durkin's finding more confidence through the more shots he sees? Is there any, you know, adjustment to make under? That's a question for him. I mean, you, you, you know, I think he's made a lot of quality saves too. I mean, I looked at him today and there's a couple that are well, world class, I mean, that and that's a couple that go the other way. That's the difference. I mean, you're not talking about it all you got, you gotta get better shots. I mean, he's been the difference and there's, there's no way around it and you got to give him credit and, you know, you can say we're not getting good enough shots, but you're making some good saves too. Have you made a decision yet on where you're going in that? No, no. Yeah. Right back to and we keep going power for all these reasons. Just do you, do you guys need to make quicker decisions with party, party? I mean, it's the right decision. It's not quicker. I mean, we were good all year. It's just right now we have, uh, you know, really? Yeah, I didn't love it again. The is in this series, I thought it was ok. But we, we hit a three game snag here and the wrong time of the year to hit it. What is that? Is that comfort in routine as a hockey player? You do the same things all season and then things get difficult like this. Do you, do you find some comfort in the routines that you have? Yeah, that's a good question. Um, I think you probably do, you know, um, something you can rely on something, you know, it's that they always, that next day mentality that we have in this league. And, um, and what's done is done, you gotta worry about the next thing that's on your plate. So, and I think that's, that's a good way to look at it. How do you balance desperation and what that means for your guys versus overdo it a bit. Yeah, I think the one thing that I, I love always about this group is that they, and you watch this fight. I mean, we pretty much always play that way. So it's not about, you know, I try to do too much or too long and I think they, they, they do what they always can and I'm assuming I'll do that again tomorrow. Consider the circumstances where you're happy with where your team work today. Very p yeah, very good. I mean, we, we all are grown here, man. We understand the situation but what you have to also approach it the right way and it's a great opportunity. We're still, we're still playing and uh you know, I think the focus is just on trying to find that to get that much better. All right. Thanks a lot. Thanks for the great.</p>
