[CPEO-MEF] Camp Lejeune encroaches on neighbors

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Most of the discussion of encroachment presumes that outside development 
or environmental requirements are encroaching on military operations, 
but that's not always the case. Near Camp Lejeune's new Greater Sandy 
Run Training Area, established residents find the noise and shaking from 
near-continuous artillery bombardment intolerable. It appears that 
because of the sparse population density, opposition is limited. But the 
neighbors report that the Marines have done nothing to address their 
concerns.

After the Marines acquired the range in 1992, they appear to have done a 
 good job of addressing environmental (wetlands and habitat) and 
historical impacts, but they did not mitigate the impact of training on 
nearby people.
