Summary
DuPont, Chemours and Corteva entered a settlement agreement with North Carolina, its attorney general and 11 local entities to resolve claims over PFAS and other emissions from the Fayetteville Works facility and the state's claims of PFAS contamination unrelated to that site, including from aqueous film-forming foam. The companies will pay $455 million over 15 years, a net present value of about $355 million, with DuPont's roughly $126 million pre-tax share 44% reimbursed by Qnity Electronics and materially covered by existing accruals.
Key points
- The settlement totals $455 million payable over 15 years, with a net present value of about $355 million shared by DuPont, Chemours and Corteva under their 2021 MOU.
- $18 million of the total is attributed to alleged PFAS contamination unrelated to Fayetteville Works, of which no more than $14.4 million — about 3% — can be ascribed to AFFF.
- DuPont recorded a probable loss of about $125 million in discontinued operations in Q2 2026; its pre-tax present value share is about $126 million, 44% of which Qnity Electronics is to reimburse.
- DuPont and Corteva will fund a $135 million reserve, accessible only if Chemours fails to perform under its 2019 consent order with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, and the settlement remains subject to entry of dismissal orders.
