Dear Sir or Madam:
On January 20, 2017, the Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released its
completed "Public Health Assessment for Camp
Lejeune Drinking Water, U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune, North Carolina" (https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/HAC
The PHA evaluates whether past volatile
organic compound (VOC) exposures to chemicals at Camp
Lejeune likely resulted in exposure-related disease;
assesses additional VOC exposure scenarios requested by
the Camp Lejeune Community Assistance Panel (CAP); and
evaluates more recent exposure to lead in drinking water
at Camp Lejeune (2005-2013). For more detailed
information and findings, please visit the ATSDR
Drinking Water PHA factsheet at https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/HAC/
This PHA is one of several health initiatives
ATSDR has recently completed, or is expected to complete
in the next several years. For more information about
these studies, please visit http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/sites
To contact the Department of Veterans Affairs
to learn more about health care and other benefits,
please visit http://www.publichealth.va.gov
The health and welfare of our Marines,
Sailors, their families, and our civilian workers are
top priorities for the Marine Corps. We continue to work
diligently to identify and notify individuals who may
have been exposed to the chemicals in drinking water at
Camp Lejeune. For more information about these efforts,
or to update your contact information, please visit

Sincerely,
The Camp Lejeune
Historic Drinking Water
Program
