A bipartisan group of North Carolina representatives in Congress are urging the Environmental Protection Agency to require Chemours to pay for testing to determine how chemicals that might be connected to the company's plant in Bladen County impact residents and the environment nearby. Rep. Richard Hudson, a Republican who represents the state's 8th District, and Rep. Deborah Ross, a Democrat representing the 2nd District, were among seven U.S. representatives to sign a letter to the federal agency. The letter asks the EPA to reconsider a decision made by the Trump administration last year that denied a petition from environmental groups.
