Plaintiff in separate ongoing case against Chemours and DuPont

DuPont, Chemours and Corteva agreed in September to pay North Carolina and 11 local governments $455 million over 15 years for contaminating the Cape Fear River with PFAS chemicals. It is the largest environmental damages recovery in state history: the state gets $75 million and the local governments split $380 million, with Cumberland County receiving $161.5 million.
