The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s (TDEC)
Division of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) has made a final decision to
reissue a hazardous waste management corrective action permit to the Chemours
Company (Chemours). Chemours (EPA ID: TND007024672) is located in
Shelby County at 2571 Fite Road Memphis, Tennessee. This action follows a
45-day public comment period, which ended on June 22, 2020. No comments
were received during the 45-day public comment period.
The permit (TNHW-182, formerly TNHW-143) allows Chemours to continue
to perform corrective action for solid waste management units and areas of
concern at the site. It includes provisions for providing site security, performing
groundwater monitoring, and maintaining institutional controls, such as
restrictions on digging and use of groundwater. The permit includes
requirements to investigate any other release of hazardous waste or hazardous
constituents discovered at the site, regardless of the time at which waste was
placed in a unit, and to take appropriate corrective action for any such release.
At this time, there are no additional units that require further action.
The permit is issued under the authority of the Tennessee Hazardous Waste
Management Act of 1977, as amended, Tennessee Code Annotated, Section
68-212-101 et seq., and Rule Chapter 0400-12-01, Hazardous Waste
Management. The permit is effective as of June 26, 2020, and shall remain in
effect until June 26, 2030, unless continued, revoked and reissued, or terminated
under applicable regulations.
