Camp Callan
Camp Callan was an Army anti-aircraft artillery replacement training center that was operational during World War II. It was located north of San Diego near U.S. Highway 101 at La Jolla, California. The facility was closed shortly after the war ended and few traces, aside from the contamination of the base, remains.
It occupied a roughly rectangular piece of land approximately 3 miles (5 km) north-to-south and 0.5 miles (0.8 km) east-to-west.
The northern portion of the former base is today the 36-hole Torrey Pines Golf Course complex, opened in 1957, and the Torrey Pines State Reserve. The southeastern portion is now part of the University of California, San Diego campus.

EWG's drinking water quality report shows results of tests conducted by the water utility and provided to the Environmental Working Group by the California State Water Resources Control Board, as well as information from the U.S. EPA Enforcement and Compliance History database (ECHO). For the latest quarter assessed by the U.S. EPA (January 2019 - March 2019), tap water provided by this water utility was in compliance with federal health-based drinking water standards.
Legal does not necessarily equal safe. Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines.
Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years.
The best way to ensure clean tap water is to keep pollution out of source water in the first place.
