For questions regarding MCB Camp Lejeune Hazardous Waste/Material Management, please call 910-451-1482.

• Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, PFAS, are a large family of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in industrial and consumer products since the 1950s because of their unique water- and oil-repelling properties. They have been used in products such as carpeting, apparel, food packaging, and non-stick cookware to make them more stain-resistant, waterproof, and/or non-stick.
• The most common historical use of PFAS at MCB Camp Lejeune was in firefighting foam, specifically aqueous film forming foam, or AFFF. AFFF was typically used to fight fuel fires and was historically used at MCB Camp Lejeune for training and firefighting. Currently, MCB Camp Lejeune is using fire fighting foam that meets updated military specifications for PFAS content.

• Yes.  On-base drinking water comes from 3 sources:  the Onslow Water and Sewer Authority (ONWASA), the City of Jacksonville, as well as by the Base.  Specifically, this sampling was conducted in 2013 – 2015 as part of the EPA’s Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR3). Six PFAS were tested for during the UCMR3 sampling and there were no detections. More information on the UCMR3 can be found on the EPA’s website:  https://www.epa.gov/dwucmr/third-unregulated-contaminant-monitoring-rule
• Additionally, the base initiated voluntary testing of the on-base drinking water supply for several PFAS in 2019.  Currently the drinking water is sampled twice per year for several PFAS.
• PFOA and PFOS have not been detected above the EPA’s drinking water lifetime health advisory in the on-base supply of drinking water at MCB Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River.

• Multiple programs within the Environmental Management Division are involved in managing PFAS. Ensuring the health and well being of all those aboard MCB Camp Lejeune is our mission.
• The Environmental Management Division at MCB Camp Lejeune works with multiple state and federal agencies to ensure we comply with all federal and state standards to protect human health and the environment.

Drinking Water Program:

• We are voluntarily testing drinking water supplied by the Base for PFAS twice per year.
• We test treated water (what comes out of your tap) from the 4 on-base water treatment plants and raw groundwater (water before treatment) from more than 50 supply wells.
• PFOA and PFOS in on-base drinking water have not been detected above the EPA lifetime health advisory.
• PFAS testing detections can be found online in the Documents section.

----------------------------------------------

Air Quality Program:

• 172 PFAS are required to be reported for 2020 as part of the annual Toxics Release Inventory.
• This inventory reporting will be completed for these PFAS by July 1, 2021, for the calendar year 2020.
• For more Information go to: https://www.epa.gov/toxics-release-inventory-tri-program/implementing-statutory-addition-certain-and-polyfluoroalkyl

----------------------------------------------

Environmental Restoration Program:

• We work with Public Works Division and Military Construction parties to ensure that soil and groundwater containing PFAS are handled safely and disposed of properly.
• We are conducting a base-wide assessment of soil and groundwater where our research indicates there is a potential for a historic PFAS-AFFF or other PFAS release.
• For more information please visit the NAVFAC website: www.navfac.navy.mil/products_and_services/ev/products_and_services/env_restoration/installation_map/navfac_atlantic/midlant/camp_lejeune/site_descriptions.html

• Drinking water safety is the top priority with the Navy’s PFAS policy and investigations
• The Navy conducts drinking water investigations first, before completing on-Base PFAS investigations, if there are drinking water wells located within 1 mile in the direction the groundwater flows away from a known or suspected PFAS release area

• We screen, authorize, and monitor the use of PFAS-containing materials on Base.
• The Resource Conservation and Recovery Section (RCRS) evaluates the products for PFAS and approves or denies use based on military specifications, or MILSPEC, and mission requirements.
• RCRS reports any known PFAS/AFFF release to Headquarters Marine Corps.
• The Environmental Assessment Section provides regulatory oversight of daily unit operations by inspecting units for compliance with applicable Federal, State and other directives.
• The installation spill response team cleans up and manages AFFF releases. We coordinate contractor support if a spill is beyond the capability of the installation spill response team.
• For more information, please visit the Environmental Compliance Branch section.

The U.S. Navy and MCB Camp Lejeune are using a combination of drone and geophysical technologies to identify and remove munitions items from the Hammocks Beach and Bear Inlet areas? These areas are part of the former off-Base surface danger zones (SDZs), are located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway and have been used since World War II for rocket firing and bombing practice. Previous investigations have identified munitions items within the SDZs and warning signs are established around the area.

Digital geophysical mapping (DGM) technology was applied over the SDZs to identify metallic anomalies on the ground surface or beneath the soil. Because portions of the SDZs are difficult to access (marsh/tidal channels), the DGM instrument was flown over the area using an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone).

Advanced Geophysical Classification (AGC) technology is now being applied to the DGM anomalies identified on land and underwater. AGC classifies metallic sources as either a potential munitions item based on its size and shape or likely cultural debris (trash) and estimates the item’s depth in the soil. Once the AGC work is completed, an intrusive investigation of the SDZs anomalies will be conducted by unexploded ordnance-qualified technicians.

Minutes from previous RAB meeting:

  15 April 2026

The Underground Storage Tank (UST) program is concerned with the assessment and clean-up of contamination from leaking USTs. In the past, petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POLs) - including gasoline, waste oil, diesel, heating oil, and jet fuel - were stored in unmonitored, single-walled USTs. Over time, the USTs rusted and leaked, thereby contaminating surrounding soil and groundwater.

Today's regulations, however, require that all USTs are double-walled with proper monitoring devices or are removed and replaced with aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). As older USTs are upgraded or removed, the excavation and related soils are visually inspected and sampled to determine if there has been a release to the environment. If contamination is detected, further site assessment is performed.

Assessment provides a detailed delineation of the extent of contamination at the site. Based on the risk ranking and the level of contamination, the site may require clean-up. A Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is then presented to the North Carolina Division of Environment Quality (NCDEQ), which details remediation activities and clean-up goals. After the CAP is approved by the NCDEQ, it is implemented at the site. Remediation can take the form of an active remediation system or natural attenuation with long term monitoring. Once the site is remediated to regulatory standards, the site is submitted to NCDEQ for no further action.

During assessment and cleanup of a site, the UST program must comply with federal and state regulations. NCDENR’s Groundwater Section distributes guidelines for the remediation of soil and groundwater. This document details and outlines state requirements for site assessment and cleanup. One important aspect of this publication is that it lists required soil and groundwater sampling methods. Required methods include various EPA methods and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) methods.

North Carolina also passed Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) rules in 1998. These rules establish procedures for the risk-based assessment and corrective action of petroleum USTs, and they are meant to:

• protect human health and the environment;
• abate and control contamination of the waters of the State;
• permit management of the State’s groundwater to protect their designated current usage and potential future uses;
• provide for anticipated future uses of the State’s groundwater;
• recognize the diversity of contaminants, geology, and characteristics of each individual site; and
• accomplish these goals in a cost-efficient manner to assure the best use of the limited resources available to address groundwater pollution within the State.

The UST program implements various remediation, or cleanup, technologies in order to restore impacted soils and groundwater. The following list summarizes several technologies::

• Air sparge/soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE)
• Natural attenuation
• Biosparging
• Aggressive Fluid Vapor Recovery (AFVR)
• Pump and treat 

More information on the above technologies can be found on the Internet. One particular site is http://www.frtr.gov/. This is the Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable website where one can view a remediation screening matrix, detailing various remediation strategies.
