What Happened at Camp Lejeune?

Camp Lejeune, a U.S. Marine Corps base in North Carolina, had drinking water contaminated with toxic chemicals for over three decades (August 1953 - December 1987). Nearly 1 million military personnel, their families, and civilian workers were potentially exposed.

The contamination came from leaking underground storage tanks, industrial spills, and an off-base dry cleaner. The toxic chemicals reached the water supply at levels hundreds to thousands of times above safe limits.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022

After decades of advocacy, Congress passed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act as part of the PACT Act in August 2022. This law allows individuals harmed by the water contamination to file civil lawsuits against the federal government—something previously barred by North Carolina's statute of limitations[1].
