Camp Lejeune Water Contamination

The Camp Lejeune water contamination problem occurred at Marine Corps Base
Camp Lejeune from 1957 to 1987. During that time, United States Marine
Corps (USMC) servicemembers and their families living at the base
apparently bathed in and ingested tap water that was contaminated with
harmful chemicals. An undetermined number of former base residents later
developed cancer or other ailments, which many blame on the contaminated
drinking water. Victims claim that USMC leaders concealed knowledge of the
problem and did not act properly in trying to resolve it or notify former
base residents that their health might be at risk. In 2009 and 2010 the US
federal government initiated investigations into the allegations of
contaminated water and failures by US Marine officials to act on the
issue.

Early reports
.
From at least 1957 through 1985, Marines and their families at Lejeune's
main family housing areas of Tarawa Terrace and Hadnot Point drank and
bathed in water contaminated with toxins at concentrations up to 3400
times levels permitted by safety standards. As a result, at least 850
former residents filed claims for nearly $4 billion from the military. The
contamination appears to have affected the water from two of the eight
water treatment plants on the base.[1] The main chemicals involved were
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as perchloroethylene (PCE), a dry
cleaning solvent, and trichloroethylene (TCE), a degreaser; however, more
than 70 chemicals have been identified as contaminants at Lejeune.[2] The
base's wells were shut off in the mid-1980s, after which the water met
federal standards, then they were placed back online in violation of the
law.[2][3] The Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune is now preparing to supply
water to Onslow County, NC. There is a long history of lost documents,
poor management, and deceptive lab testings and results. The National
Resource Council (NRC) of the National Academies released a report based
upon a literature review of PCE and TCE in July 2009. The report failed to
assess other contaminants, such as benzene and vinyl chloride, and
concluded that the water at the base was tainted between 1950 and 1985,
but that the contamination could not be linked to any health
problems.[4][5] However, an October 2010 letter from the Director of the
government agency tasked to study health effects at Superfund sites, such
as Camp Lejeune, illustrated the limitations of the 2009 literature review
and advised that there "was undoubtedly a hazard associated with drinking
the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune." [6]
.
In 1980 the base began testing the water for trihalomethanes in response
to new regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That
same year, a laboratory from the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency
began finding halogenated hydrocarbons in the water. In March 1981 one of
the lab's reports, which was delivered to US Marine officials, stated,
"Water is highly contaminated with other chlorinated hydrocarbons
(solvents)!"[7]
.
Possible sources of the contamination include solvents from a nearby,
off-base dry cleaning company, from on-base units using chemicals to clean
military equipment, and leaks from underground fuel storage tanks.[1] In
1982, a private company, Grainger Laboratories, contracted by the USMC to
examine the problem provided the base commander with a report showing that
the wells supplying water for the base were contaminated with
trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene. The contractor delivered
repeated warnings to base officials, including base chemist Elizabeth
Betz, that the water was contaminated. A representative from Grainger,
Mike Hargett, stated that he went with Betz in July 1982 to inform an
unnamed Marine lieutenant colonel who was deputy director of base
utilities about the problems with the water. According to Hargett, the
Marine was unwilling to discuss Hargett's concerns. In August 1982, a
Grainger chemist, Bruce Babson, sent a letter to the base commander,
Marine Major General D.J. Fulham, warning him that the base wells appeared
to be poisoned. The water from the contaminated wells, however, continued
in use at the base.[7][8]
.
Grainger continued to warn Marine officials of problems with the water in
December 1982, March 1983, and September 1983. In a spring 1983 report to
the EPA, Lejeune officials stated that there were no environmental
problems at the base. In June 1983, North Carolina's water supply agency
asked Lejeune officials for Grainger's lab reports on the water testing.
Marine officials declined to provide the reports to the state agency. In
December 1983 Lejeune officials scaled back the water testing performed by
Grainger.[7]
.
Further reports
.
In July 1984, a different company contracted under the EPA's Superfund
review of Lejeune and other sites found benzene in the base's water, along
with PCE and TCE. Marine officials shut down one of the contaminated wells
in November 1984 and the rest in early 1985. The Marines notified North
Carolina of the contamination in December 1984. At this time the Marines
did not disclose that benzene had been discovered in the water and stated
to the media that the EPA did not mandate unacceptable levels of PCE and
TCE.[7]
.
In 1997 the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)
investigated the well water and concluded that cancerous effects in
personnel exposed to the water was unlikely. According to a federal
investigation, ATSDR investigators overlooked evidence of benzene in the
water when preparing the report.[9]
.
On 28 April 2009 the ATSDR admitted that the water had been contaminated
with benzene and withdrew the 1997 report.[10] The benzene most likely
occurred as a result of 800,000 gallons of fuel that leaked from the base
fuel farm during the years in question. The fuel leaks occurred near the
main well that serves Hadnot Point, location of enlisted and officer's
quarters and the base hospital.[11] For unknown reasons, the presence of
benzene in the water had been omitted from the official report that the
USMC submitted for federal health review in 1992, in spite of the USMC
being aware of the presence of the chemical. The report had been prepared
by a contractor, Baker Corp.[12] State officials had also reportedly
informed the ATSDR in 1994 about the presence of benzene in the water.[9]

Some 75,000 Marines and their families at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina
were exposed to toxic tap water that may have caused cancer and birth
defects, a federal health official testified Tuesday.
.
Results of a new study of the base's water were released Tuesday, the same
day lawmakers heard emotional testimony from families who were affected by
the water, which contained 40 times the amount of toxins considered safe
by today's standards.
.
Camp Lejeune's water supply was polluted from 1957 until 1987 by TCE, a
degreasing solvent, and PCE, a dry cleaning agent. The chemicals
apparently came from a dry cleaning store near the base, according to the
government.
.
The substances are possible carcinogens.
.
Jerry Ensminger, a 24-year Marine Corps veteran, said his daughter, Jane,
born in 1976 at Camp Lejeune, was diagnosed with leukemia at age 6 and
died at age 9.
.
Jeff Byron, a former Marine air traffic controller, moved with his family
into base housing in 1982, three months after his first daughter Andrea
was born and two years before his daughter Rachel was born.
.
Rachel is developmentally disabled, has spina bifida and was born with a
cleft palate, he said. Andrea has a rare bone marrow syndrome known as
aplastic anemia, according to Byron's testimony.

Dr. Michael Gros, a Navy obstetrician at Camp Lejeune in the early 1980s,
was diagnosed with lymphoma after living in Camp Lejeune housing, he said.

Camp Lejeune residents blame rare cancer cluster on the water
For three decades, dry-cleaning chemicals and industrial solvents laced
the water used by local Marines and their families. Mike Partain and at
least 19 others developed male breast cancer.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA. One night in April 2007, as Mike Partain hugged his
wife before going to bed, she felt a small lump above his right nipple. A
mammogram -- a "man-o-gram," he called it -- led to a diagnosis of male
breast cancer. Six days later, the 41-year-old insurance adjuster had a
mastectomy.
.
Partain had no idea men could get breast cancer. But he thinks he knows
what caused his: contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune, N.C., where
he was born.
.
Over the last two years, Partain has compiled a list of 19 others
diagnosed with male breast cancer who once lived on the base.
.
For three decades -- from the 1950s to the mid-1980s -- the water supply
used by hundreds of thousands of Marines and their families was laced with
chemicals from an off-base dry-cleaning company and industrial solvents
used to clean military equipment.
.
A 1974 base order required safe disposal of solvents and warned that
improper handling could cause drinking water contamination. Yet solvents
were dumped or buried near base wells for years.
.
"The Marine Corps knowingly poisoned their own people," Partain recently
said in his living room, surrounded by stacks of military documents and
water analysis reports. "They were told about the water, and they did
nothing. Nothing. And then they lied about it."

Reporting from Washington When Peter Devereaux arrived at Camp Lejeune in
December 1980, he had no idea that officials were looking into unsafe
levels of toxic chemicals in the drinking water.
.
As a Marine stationed at the sprawling military base along the North
Carolina shore, Devereaux said, he led a healthy lifestyle. When he was
diagnosed in early 2008 with a rare disease male breast cancer Devereaux
did not connect his illness to Camp Lejeune.
.
But six months after he'd had his left breast and 22 cancerous lymph nodes
removed, he received a letter from the Department of the Navy informing
him that in the 1980s, "unregulated chemicals were discovered" in the
drinking water at the camp's Hadnot Point water distribution system.
.
Drinking water in various areas of the camp had been contaminated with
trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene chemicals used to clean metals
and dry-clean clothes and benzene, a chemical found in fuel. All are
believed to cause cancer.
.
Tests in 1980 first suggested the presence of contaminants. More than
four years later, base officials shut down 10 wells, including one
contaminated with benzene at Hadnot Point.
.
Devereaux, who left Lejeune in April 1982, wonders why it took the
Marines more than two decades to inform him of his exposure to the
carcinogen.
.
"It would have made a tremendous difference in my life," Devereaux said.
He would have sought regular cancer screenings that might have caught the
cancer earlier.
.
Instead, Devereaux, 48, learned three months after his diagnosis that the
cancer had spread to his spine, ribs and hip. Devereaux's doctors tell him
the average life expectancy for people with metastatic breast cancer is
two to three years.

According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR),
the Tarawa Terrace water system at Camp Lejeune was contaminated from 1957
to 1987. ATSDR is currently working on a study to determine the extent of
the contamination in the Hadnot Point water system during that time. The
contaminants included chemicals such as VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
PCE, TCE, DCE, and vinyl chloride. In addition to industrial solvents,
they also included Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl benzene and Xylene. These
chemicals are known to cause miscarriages, birth defects (heart defects,
neural tube defects, cleft palate and others), non Hodgkins lymphoma,
leukemia, and cancers of the breast, lung, liver, kidney, ovaries,
bladder, cervix, prostate and more.
.
During the 30 years of exposure, as many as a million Marines, sailors,
and family members on the base may have been affected by chemicals in
their drinking and bathing water. This water was pumped out of wells on
the base that had a chemical dump, fuel farms, a fleet service area, and
other sites on the base leaking and dumping chemicals into the ground,
contaminating the ground water. The diseases caused by these poisons may
kill quickly or may take ten or twenty years or more to appear; long after
you would think to connect your disease with either Camp Lejeune or the
water there. Those who lived at Camp Lejuene before 1987 or who may have
been affected there while in utero should go to the U.S.M.C. website
(www.marines.mil) and register to receive information on Camp Lejeune
water and the research being done. You should also visit the website The
Few, The Proud, The Forgotten (www.tftptf.com) for further information and
to sign on to the Illness Registry.

Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Cover-Up Hinted In Navy Letter

The U.S. Navy is asking government investigators to suppress information
concerning the toxic water scandal at the Marine Corps' Camp Lejeune,
according to a letter obtained Thursday by The Huffington Post.
.
The letter, signed by Maj. Gen. J.A. Kessler of the Marine Corps and dated
Jan. 5, 2012, asks the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Agency
for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry to withhold from a forthcoming
report details about the whereabouts of water lines, wells, treatment
plants and storage tanks on the North Carolina military base -- in the
name of national security.
.
"The Marine Corps understands the need to share information with the
scientific community," writes Kessler, the Marines' assistant deputy
commandant for installations and logistics. "Prudence requires, however,
that information sharing be within the rubric of responsible force
protection."
.
Government watchdogs and environmental advocates said they interpret the
letter as further evidence of a Navy effort to evade culpability for what
many call the worst and largest drinking water contamination in U.S.
history.
.
Congress assigned the disease registry to trace when, where and at what
levels Camp Lejeune's drinking water was tainted with toxic industrial
chemicals from the late-1950s to the 1980s. The research is a prerequisite
for a series of health studies exploring links between chemical exposures
and what appears to be increased levels of disease among former Camp
Lejeune residents, including male breast cancer and childhood leukemia.
.
As part of its research, the disease registry must map the entire water
system on the base, past and present. And for the findings to be credible,
the registry must release all of the information, so other scientists can
review or replicate the results. The Navy's pressure could stymie that
effort.

Lawmakers Urge President Obama to Help Camp Lejeune Veterans without Delay

The Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Veterans' Affairs Committees in
both the Senate and the House have sent a letter to President Obama asking
him to provide health care services for Camp Lejeune veterans right away.
The message from Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Richard Burr (R-NC) and
Representatives Jeff Miller (R-FL) and Bob Filner (D-CA) expresses a real
sense of urgency, and POGO agrees that sick veterans exposed to
contaminated drinking water at Lejeune should not have to wait one more
day for the government to provide them with adequate healthcare.
.
Some of the lawmakers who sent this letter are also sponsoring bipartisan
legislation that would deliver health care to veterans and their family
members who are ill from exposure at Lejeune between 1957 and 1987. POGO
also has been advocating for its passage.
.
The letter, dated April 20, aims to help those who need it immediately in
the face of our less-than-speedy legislative process. The Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) has existing resources which could be reserved for
just this purpose without derailing other initiatives. According to Air
Force Times, in February Rep. Miller proposed that the VA create a special
healthcare category covering Lejeune veterans. The cost of care could be
paid, Miller suggested, by $5 billion in excess health care funds the VA
discovered when preparing the 2013 budget. The Senators and
Representatives who signed onto this letter are asking President Obama to
identify a portion of those appropriated funds (or other funds which can
be repurposed) to be set aside for sick Camp Lejeune veterans and their
families.
.
The signatories vocally disagree with VA Secretary Eric Shinsekis
suggestion that policy decisions affecting those exposed to the
contaminated water are premature. Shinseki has urged decision-makers to
postpone a decision until more scientific evidence is revealed linking
water contamination at Lejeune to illness, referring to scientific studies
that will be released over the next two years. The Chairs and Ranking
Members point to already existing scientific evidence that warrants
helping those who need it without delay. Sen. Burrs press release pointed
out that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has already
acknowledged that trichloroethylene (TCE), a chemical which contaminated
the water supply system at Lejeune, is directly linked to cancer.
