How Did Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Occur?
Camp Lejeune water contamination was a glaring issue at the North Carolina Marine Corps base for decades.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and other dangerous chemicals contaminated drinking water at unregulated levels, poisoning the base’s water treatment plants, sewer systems, ground water, and other water sources.
These contaminants originated both from military personnel disposing of chemicals in unethical ways, as well as from an off-base dry cleaner.
The water treatment plants at which contamination was most prevalent include the Tarawa Terrace Treatment Plant and the Hadnot Point Treatment Plant.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act: Helping Those Exposed to Camp Lejeune's Water Supply
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is a new piece of legislation that has been signed into law by President Biden.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act affords former Camp Lejeune residents the ability to sue and recover damages for exposure to the toxic substances in the water supply, one of the first times federal law has allowed legal action of this sort.
The new bill overrides previous North Carolina law that barred lawsuits for Camp Lejeune water contamination.
Camp Lejeune veterans and Camp Lejeune families will be able to seek compensation for health problems and medical expenses related to the toxic chemicals they were exposed to while living on the base.
The lawsuits are expected to be handled by the U.S. District Court: Eastern District of North Carolina.
In the past, several bills were introduced to address the issue at the North Carolina military base, but none have had any widespread impact for victims and families.
Now, people who were denied benefits or compensation in the past may have a fair shot at adequate compensation.
