TOXIC WATER AT CAMP LEJEUNE

Overview:

The Marine Corps’ Camp Lejeune is the site of one of the worst water contamination cases in recent US history. The base was a frequent pollution spot where oil, industrial wastewater, and toxic chemicals used as degreasers and solvents were all knowingly dumped in the local storm drains between 1952 and 1987, contaminating the local water supply for 35 years.

The military base was labeled as a major polluter by the Environmental Protection Agency. Reports from 1980 discuss how buried fuel tanks could leak and taint the drinking water in the surrounding areas.
