Off-Post Contamination a Serious Concern at Ft. Gillem, Georgia

by Lenny Siegel
CPEO
February, 2015

Chlorinated volatile organic compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons  
from Ft. Gillem, a mostly closed Army base near Atlanta, Georgia,  
have migrated off post. U.S. EPA and the state of Georgia believe  
that air contamination inside neighboring residences is vapor  
intrusion, but the Army disagrees. Meanwhile, local activists are  
more successful than the Army in bringing the neighbors to public  
meetings.
