Should you be included in the Camp Lejeune Historic Drinking Water notificati­on database?

If you lived or worked at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in 1987 or before, the U.S. Marine Corps wants to hear from you.

-

The Marine Corps is committed to finding and encouragin­g all service members, their families, and civilian employees who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune in 1987 or before to be included in the Camp

Lejeune Historic Drinking Water notificati­on database.

A Federal public health agency, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), is studying whether past exposure to chemicals in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune may have caused adverse health effects. Best estimates from ATSDR’S water modeling efforts indicate that some of the base’s water was affected by chemicals as early as 1953 until as late as 1987. Registered individual­s will be notified of results from the latest independen­t scientific studies as they are finalized.

Informatio­n regarding study results and health care legislatio­n can be found by visiting the Camp Lejeune Historic Drinking Water website, www.marines.mil/clwater.
