Chemours agrees to pay $455M to settle PFAS emissions claims from its Fayetteville Works facility
CCChemours Co
On September 9, 2026, The Chemours Company entered into a settlement agreement with the State of North Carolina and 11 local entities to resolve claims regarding PFAS emissions from its Fayetteville Works facility. The total settlement amount is $455 million, payable over 15 years, with Chemours responsible for 50% ($227.5 million) under a cost-sharing arrangement with DuPont and Corteva. Approximately $18 million of the total addresses contamination unrelated to the Fayetteville Works site. The agreement acknowledges completed obligations under a 2019 Consent Order and establishes procedures for remaining off-site remediation, including drinking water programs. Chemours' share is covered by existing accruals, and future contributions to a related MOU escrow account are considered satisfied. This resolves significant legacy litigation risks associated with environmental liabilities. The company operates in the industrial and specialty chemicals sector.
