Subject: [CPEO-MEF] NDMA at Lockheed Martin Colorado plant
 
Contaminant found in Lockheed groundwater

Elevated levels of a contaminant associated with rocket fuel have been
discovered in groundwater and creek water running through Lockheed
Martin's Waterton Canyon facility in southwestern Jefferson County.

The contaminant, known by its shorthand of NDMA, was discovered at
levels about 5,000 times greater than state and federal environmental standards.

But tests conducted by Lockheed Martin suggest the contaminant hasn't
escaped the Waterton site or made it into drinking water wells or streams.

Officials at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
said Friday that the NDMA doesn't pose a health risk at this point.
