Camp Lejeune drinking water Registry.  If you lived or worked at Camp Lejeune in 1987 or before, please register with the Marine Corp. www.marines.mil/clsurvey. In early 1980’s, two solvents were found in two water systems serving the Tarawa Terrace and Had not Point areas. The Dept of Navy is funding two independent research initiatives to determine if there is any connect between exposure and certain adverse health effects. The current water supply meets or exceeds all environmental standards today.

Congressman Miller [NC 13 Dist.] introduced the Janey Ensminger Act, companion legislation to the Caring for Camp Lejeune Veterans Act . These bills require the VA to provide health care for veterans and their family members who were exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
