How Did Camp Lejeune Water Get Contaminated?
For more than 30 years, service members and their families stationed at a military base in North Carolina unknowingly drank and bathed in water contaminated with hazardous chemicals. In the 1980s, Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, NC, tested its water supply for environmental toxins. The base found chemicals like trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, benzene, and vinyl chloride. Researchers say these toxins increase the risk of various cancers, congenital disabilities, and Parkinson’s disease. More than a million people lived at Camp Lejeune during the contamination period.
Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022
Jan 25th, 2022
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 is a bipartisan bill intended to ensure that individuals – veterans, their family members or other individuals living or working at the base between 1953 and 1987 – who were harmed by water contamination at Camp Lejeune receive fair compensation. Many of these individuals have had their claims inappropriately denied or delayed, resulting in additional harm.
The Bill is making its way through Congress as part of the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives on March 4, 2022. The Act will permit people who worked, lived, or were exposed in-utero, to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, to file a claim in U.S. federal court.
People or loved ones of those who lived, worked, or were stationed at Camp Lejeune who experienced a water toxicity-related illness may be eligible for compensation.

Today, the United States Senate voted to pass the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, a federal mandate with bipartisan support to provide former residents of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, military, civilians and their families the right to seek reparations from the U.S. government. The bill is expected to be signed into law by President Biden, under the Honoring Our PACT Act, as soon as next week.
Routine water testing in 1982 found that drinking water sources at Camp Lejeune were contaminated.
