Contamination At A Marine Housing Community: Inside Laurel Bay
Primary Content
When Amanda Whatley's daughter was diagnosed with cancer, she wondered if it had to do with where they live: Laurel Bay, a Marine housing community near Parris Island, South Carolina. Decades-old oil tanks are buried beneath the homes there.
Whatley posted a video online that caught the eye of Marine Corps officials - and prompted the Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette to investigate. The newspaper's series on contamination at Laurel Bay is out this week. Reporter Kasia Kovacs told us what they found.
In September, 11 residents filed a lawsuit against the property management company, alleging it didn't do enough to inform residents. The company filed a motion to dismiss the case last month.
