Speak up for better monitoring of PFAS as the EMC looks to update their rules

The 90-day public comment period opened on March 16.  Please add your name and personal comments to the NC Sierra Club petition to the EMC and attend one of the six public hearings taking place across the state including the one in Wilmington on April 23rd (PFAS):

• When: Thursday April 23, 2026

  • 4pm: Environmental advocates from multiple organizations will gather in the courtyard to discuss the issues, help you prepare your statement or make a poster; snacks & water provided

  • 5pm: Speaker Sign-in opens; come early to increase your chance of speaking & getting a seat

  • 6pm: Hearing starts

• Where:  Wilmington City Hall at Skyline Center, 1st Floor Conference Center, 929 N. Front Street

Make your opinion known! Tell the EMC to pass rules that work for the people, not the polluters who poison our waters. We can demand that our government work for us and not for polluters by rewriting these rules to prioritize public and environmental health.  We deserve safe, clean drinking water, so speak up NOW to protect our communities and our environment.
