On today’s show, Kelly Kenoyer helps me unpack some of our recent reporting about Novant NHRMC. Over the last several months, we’ve spoken with over a dozen current and former employees — and reviewed the years of safety data. Both showed concerning trends, but the newest leadership team says things are improving.

This interview has been lightly edited for clarity. Kelly Kenoyer: I'm here with Ray Gronberg, the editor of the North Carolina Tribune. Thank you so much for joining us. Ray Gronberg: Thank you, Kelly. Kelly Kenoyer: So tell me a little bit about House Bill 765: I hear it's dead. So how did it die? Ray: House Bill 765 is dead in that name, it is now -several of its ideas are now incorporated in Senate Bill 205, which is on the move in the North Carolina House.

Alpek Polyester in Fayetteville will cease its operations in North Carolina on July 31, according to a press release. A notice about the layoffs said 180 jobs will be lost because of these closures. Alpek took over the site in 2001 and used it to manufacture PET resin. 1,4-Dioxane is a byproduct of the production of PET. It’s a federally unregulated solvent that the EPA considers a likely carcinogen, and Alpek discharges a whole lot of it into the Cape Fear River.

For them, though, it’s perhaps a different part of the coast: instead of white sandy beaches, these tiny gastropods love the brackish water and muck in the estuaries. “They are little omnivorous detritivores. They will eat anything that can fit in their little mouths," says Dr. Byron Toothman, a coastal reserve researcher in the Cape Fear Region.
