Watch these two short video clips (above and below) and listen to RMPJC question Denver Water and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment over their inadequate protection of Colorado citizens from exposure to N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) a deadly rocket fuel compound.

The dangerous compound is known to be a contaminant impacting surface and groundwater at the Lockheed Martin complex in Jefferson County, southwest of Denver. NDMA also contaminates other sites in Colorado, including the former Beech Aircraft/Raytheon site northwest of Boulder (which Boulder County bought as Open Space) - which drains to the Left Hand Reservoir - and the Lowry Landfill in Arapahoe County, where widespread groundwater contamination has occurred.

This exchange occurred at a November 7th, 2007 meeting of the Restoration Advisory Board of the U.S. Air Force's PJKS Superfund site within Lockheed Martin's poperty in Jefferson County, southwest of Denver.

The officials are responding to concerns raised about NDMA's impact to a public water supply source by RMPJC's Adrienne Anderson and Joan Jacobsen, a citizen member of the advisory board who once resided in the Friendly Hills subdivision southwest of Denver.

In the early 1980's, Anderson and Jacobsen led an independent citizens investigation to determine the cause of scores of children suffering from cancer or birth defects and other major disorders, many of which died. Several prominent medical experts attributed the children's deaths, defects and diseases to their exposures to NDMA and other poisons contaminating the water supply source which was then being piped to the area.

Citizen action forced the shutdown of a contaminated Denver Water well downhill of the Martin/USAF complex in late 1984. In 1985, the entire water facility known as Denver Water's Kassler plant, was closed. Denver Water officials have denied the century old water facility was closed due to contamination, incredulously claiming to the public in this arid, often drought-starved region, that "they no longer needed the water."
