JESS1344 508 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 GUYS, FOR ANY THAT SERVED OR LIVED ONBOARD LEJEUNE AS DEPENDENTS EARLY 1950's -- EARLY 1990's, BE ADVISED THAT THE DRINKING, SHOWERING, COOKING, ETC., WATER WAS HEAVILY CONTAMINATED BY VOC's. THE GOV'T FIGURES THAT AS MANY AS ONE MILLION PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN POISONED BY THIS WATER, DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. FOR THE "NOT-COMPANY LINE" (READ: TRUTH) GO TO : www.tftptf.com (THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE FORGOTTEN) TO READ THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH. SOME REAL HEALTH HORROR STORIES THERE. THE WORST PART, THE NAVY MEDICAL AND MARINE LEADERSHIP KNEW IT ALL ALONG AND TRIED TO KEEP IT COVERED UP. CHECK IT OUT..... DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE THE CORPS, BUT THIS WAS INEXCUSABLE. JESS1344 Hi, just a reminder that you're receiving this email because you have expressed an interest in Camp Lejeune Historic Drinking Water. Don't forget to add donotreplyi&l.fct@usmc.mil to your address book so we'll be sure to land in your inbox! Dear Registrant, On March 15, 2013 the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released its "Chapter A: Summary and Findings" water modeling report for the Hadnot Point and Holcomb Boulevard Water Treatment Plants and Vicinities for Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C. ( http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/sites/lejeune/hadnotpoint.html). You will receive a hard copy of the ATSDR fact sheet and other information in the mail in the coming weeks. This report provides ATSDR's assessment of past exposures to a class of chemicals known as "volatile organic compounds" (VOCs) in the drinking water distributed by these two Camp Lejeune water treatment systems. These VOCs were commonly used as solvents for cleaning machinery and weapons, for dry cleaning, and some are found in fuels. ATSDR's water modeling estimates that the first month any VOC exceeded the current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory standards in drinking water in the Hadnot Point system was August 1953, and at least one VOC exceeded the current standard in Hadnot Point drinking water from August 1953 through January 1985. This release marks a major milestone towards the completion of scientific efforts pertaining to this issue and another step in ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive science-based answers to the health questions that have been raised. ATSDR will use these results and the results of a similar water model developed for the Tarawa Terrace area in 2007 to estimate chemical exposures for several of their on-going health studies. Since 1991, the Marine Corps has supported scientific and public health organizations that are studying these issues. We continue to support these initiatives and are working diligently to identify and notify individuals who, in the past, may have been exposed to the chemicals in drinking water. For more information about these efforts, or to update your contact information, please see: http://www.marines.mil/clwater/, call (877) 261-9782 or e-mail at clwater@usmc.mil. For the complete report and for information about studies being conducted by ATSDR, visit http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/sites/lejeune/ or call (800) 232-4636. To contact Veterans Affairs to learn more about the health care benefits, please visit http://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/camp-lejeune/ or call (877) 222-8387 (Healthcare) or (800) 827-1000 (Benefits).

dolomite_supafly 56 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Same thing happened at Fort McClellan AL, the HQ to the Army's Chemical Corp for a very long time. http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/ftmcclellanfreespeech/ That is a group trying to recognize the Army's Checmicals as well as Monsanto's dumping of dangerous chemicals down the drains of Anniston, AL.

Garys4598 1,065 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Ahhhhhhh. . . so this explains Bob Ash's and Juggernaut's loose screw. (Just Kidding!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Nemo 882 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 We got the same problems at Badger Army Ammunition Plant. Dinitrotoulene and mononitrotoulene in the water table. Near the burn pits, the ground can actually be explosive. Mono/di-nitrotoulene are very sensitive explosives and are precursors to TNT. Too bad they closed Badger, as we could use the ball powder made there right now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
