- Camp Lejeune water contamination history detailed in documents
A St. Petersburg Times review of U.S. Marine Corps documents shows that Camp Lejeune failed to close its toxic wells for years — despite stark warnings that its drinking water was befouled by industrial cleaning solvents. The Corps then provided misleading information about the contamination to regulators, the public and its Marines.
