Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps military installation in North Carolina, covers over 246 square miles and has been in operation since its establishment in 1941. Throughout the years, it has served as the residence for numerous military service members, their families, and civilians. Individuals who resided at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between 1953 and 1987 may have the legal right to initiate a lawsuit and seek compensation from the government. The contamination of the base’s private water supply was caused by the runoff from a nearby dry cleaner and internal military activities.
