How toxic materials in groundwater at Camp Lejeune affected soldiers and their families

Due to the dumping of oil, industrial wastewater, and radioactive chemicals into storm drains, soldiers, workers, and families stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina from August 1953 through December 1987 might have been exposed to toxic groundwater.

At the Tarawa Terrace family housing units, the drinking and bathing water might possibly have been contaminated with one or more of the following toxins:

  • Perchloroethylene (PCE), a dry-cleaning solvent;
  • Trichloroethylene (TCE), a degreaser;
  • Benzene, an industrial solvent; and,
  • Vinyl chloride, a colorless, flammable gas used in plastics.

The levels of both chemicals PCE and TCE found in the groundwater during this time period exceeded recommended safe levels allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as outlined in the Safe Drinking Water Act.

As chemicals from several local businesses adjacent to the Camp Lejeune military base leaked into water supplying the Tarawa Terrace drinking water system, veterans, workers, and families were exposed to health-threatening conditions.

In 1987, the military base shut down the Tarawa Terrace water treatment plant because of PCE contamination of the drinking water–however, the damage had already been done and senior base officials sought to cover it up.

Victims, survivors, and families diagnosed with any of the following conditions after being stationed at the North Carolina military base from 1953 through 1987 are encouraged to request a free, private case evaluation:

  • Liver cancer
  • Cardiac birth defects
  • Esophageal cancer
  • Hepatic steatosis  (fatty liver disease)
  • Aplastic anemia
  • Bladder cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Miscarriage
  • Multiple myeloma
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Kidney cancer
  • Leukemia
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Renal toxicity
  • Scleroderma

The team at Public Justice Assistance believes that soldiers, workers, and families of the toxic groundwater poisonings from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina should be allowed compensation and justice.
