BRANDON C

The Tarawa Terrace Treatment Plant was contaminated with perchloroethylene (PEC), which is a chemical often used for dry cleaning. Marines are known for their crisp, clean uniforms so dry clean businesses thrive near Camp Lejeune. Years later it was discovered that a nearby dry cleaning company caused the contamination due to bad waste disposal practices. The Hadnot Treatment Plant was contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE). There were numerous potential sources of TCE contamination at the Hadnot Plant, including industrial spills, underground tank leaks, and water disposal areas.
