Camp Haan
Camp Haan was a US Army training camp built in 1940 near March Air Force Base in Riverside County. The site of the former Camp Haan is next to California Interstate 215 at the Van Buren Boulevard exit.
Camp Haan was opened in January of 1941 as a training camp for Coast Artillery Antiaircraft gunners. The 8,058 acres camp was about four miles by three miles with tent housing. By the end of 1941 the camp had 28 miles of streets. Camp Haan held 1,200 Italian Prisoners. In April of 1945 German POWs arrived at the camp. A US Army correctional center was also built at the camp.
As wounded arrived from the Pacific War a 800-bed Army hospital was built at the camp. Camp Haan at its peak had 80,000 troops, POWs, inmates, and hospital personal. Camp Haan was closed on August 31, 1946.

Sites where military cleanup actions are still ongoing. The risk level of a site refers to a relative risk assessment made by the DOD, which prioritizes the cleanup of sites that pose greatest threat to safety, human health, and the environment.
The current land use has left the incinerator ash relatively intact. New development plans by the VA leave open the potential for future development of the site and ultimate dispersion of the ash material. The landfill is currently used by surrounding neigborhoods as an outdoor exercise and dog walking area.

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.
