Exposure Areas
The sources of the toxic water have been traced to two of Camp Lejeune’s eight water treatment plants, Hadnot Point and Tarawa Terrace. Hadnot Point periodically supplied water to a third water supply source, Holcomb Boulevard Water Treatment Plant. The toxins entered the water supplies through a system of wells that were contaminated by the VOCs.
What Was in the Water?
The hazardous chemicals that were found in the contaminated water are called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and include:
Tetrachloroethylene (PCE or PERC)
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Benzene
Vinyl Chloride

Have You Been Diagnosed with an Illness?
Our Attorneys Have Collected Over $3 Billion
for Victims of Toxic Exposure
North Carolina attorney Doug Abrams first looked into helping veterans who were made sick by toxins at Camp Lejeune over 20 years ago, in 2002. Unfortunately, at the time, there was no legal remedies available for veterans and their families to hold the government responsible. The Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Act of 2022, signed into law on August 10, 2022 is a game changer. However, don't be fooled by slick TV commercials, internet ads and social media marketing, this is not a fund or a settled case - this act allows an injured person or estate representative to file an individual lawsuit against the federal government. It's critical that plaintiffs choose the best legal representation you can find.
For this case, veterans and their families, civilians, and people who either lived or worked at the base will be best represented by experienced civil trial attorneys who have the resources, experience and tenacity to successfully prosecute cases against the United States government.

ABC One Hour Dry Cleaners
For decades, the business located at 2127 Lejeune Boulevard improperly released waste chemicals into the soil and groundwater thru its septic tank system.
Leaking underground fuel storage tanks
For years, fuel near the Hadnot Point Water Treatment plant leaked into wells that supplied the water for Camp Lejeune treatment plants.

Chemical Degreasers
Routinely used to clean and degrease aircraft, vehicles and equipment routinely ended up in the groundwater and subsequently the wells.

The discovery of the contamination was the unintended result of a 1980 nation-wide government mandate to test (and reduce) the level of toxic Trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water. THMs are a standard byproduct of the chlorine disinfection process used by virtually all water treatment plants in the U.S. The initial 1980 tests conducted by the laboratory of the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency revealed that the level of volatile chemicals in the water samples was so high that an accurate level of THMs could not even be determined. The report was sent on with no action taken to resolve the situation.
These toxins have been traced to 3 sources:
"The degree of contamination of drinking water at Camp Lejeune is the highest I have observed in my career."
