PFAS Water Contamination Lawsuit Attorney in Fayetteville, North Carolina

Fayetteville faces PFAS contamination from two directions simultaneously — a rare and concerning convergence. Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), the world's largest military installation by population and the home of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, has documented PFAS from AFFF firefighting training at its extensive airfields. Simultaneously, Chemours' Fayetteville Works plant in Bladen County — approximately 12 miles south of the city — has been discharging GenX chemicals and other PFAS into the Cape Fear River, contaminating drinking water for communities throughout the Cape Fear basin including Fayetteville. Residents who consumed Fayetteville municipal water over the past decade may have been exposed to both military AFFF PFAS from base groundwater plumes and to GenX from the Cape Fear River intake. This dual exposure profile strengthens both the exposure documentation and the general causation arguments for Fayetteville-area claimants. North Carolina's 3-year statute means residents with post-2021 diagnoses have timely claims.
