Hey Rick,

Hatteras closed in 1982.

I am not sure how they are pegging this to the NAVFAC. It might be because of where the chemicals were found or something. While I was there (Aug 78 - Mar 82) there were at least 2 if not 3 or 4 oil spills offshore. How they decide that this bunch of oil was from the NAVFAC and not from the spills, I don't know.

Russ,
Thanks for jogging my memory.
Rick

Here is another article about Hatteras that came across my fb feed this afternoon
