[quote=Anonymous]In January 2001, former Spring Valley residents Thomas and Kathi Loughlin, outraged over the long-term handling of the contamination, began an ongoing series of legal complaints. Prior to and during the Loughlins’ ownership of their home, construction and excavation teams unearthed laboratory equipment containing chemicals, projectiles containing mustard gas, and other hazardous items from land near their property, and studies revealed high levels of arsenic.131 During their residence in the home, Ms. Loughlin was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and the family’s live-in nanny was diagnosed with actinic keratosis, which may indicate arsenic exposure and increased risk of cancer.132 The Loughlins filed an unsuccessful administrative claim with the Army in 2001, requesting over $2 million in damages.133 One year later, the Loughlins filed a claim in United States District Court against the Army, AU, and the developers of their former homesite. The Loughlins charged negligence, failure to warn, deceit and misrepresentation, outrageous conduct, and fraud, for selling a private home to them on an extremely toxic chemical and munitions dump.134 [/quote]
