North Carolina Health Officials Backed Off Hexavalent Chromium Standard
In a deposition, Rudo accused the state health chief of unethical actions by telling nearby residents their well water was safe despite chromium contamination. State officials said the prior risk standard for hexavalent chromium in groundwater was too cautious, reviewing a one in a million lifetime cancer risk as they revised the threshold after warning 330 Duke Energy site neighbors last year.

NC orders near Duke plants warned on chromium in well water
In April 2015 North Carolina sent letters to private well owners near Duke Energy plants warning of excess hexavalent chromium and vanadium levels above state limits but within federal standards.
