Liability Considerations in Charleston
Joint Base Charleston combines Air Force and Navy operations in the Charleston metro area. AFFF use by both services has generated documented PFAS plumes in Berkeley County groundwater. North Charleston and Goose Creek — communities immediately adjacent to the base — have residents who have consumed PFAS-contaminated water from affected municipal and well water sources. The City of North Charleston has filed a water system PFAS claim in MDL 2873, which itself is administered in the Charleston-based District of South Carolina courthouse. MUSC Health at the Medical University of South Carolina is a leading oncology center that likely has treated PFAS-linked cancer cases from the Charleston military community. South Carolina's 3-year statute of limitations means residents with diagnoses from 2021 onward have clearly timely claims.
