Editing Fort Wainwright (section)

==== Hangar 6 ====
In June, 2006, civilian construction workers at Aircraft Maintenance Hangar No. 6 – known by the Corps of Engineers to be a designated Hazardous Waste Accumulation point – were overcome by fumes described as "pungent, chalky and metallic tasting" and suffered nausea, headaches and other symptoms. A state health report concluded that "an unknown, volatile chemical likely caused nerve damage to the disabled workers." More than 30 workers were hospitalized and at least 4 have suffered lasting disabilities. The workers initiated a civil suit against the Army which was dismissed because the workers were limited to state workers’ compensation as their only relief.<ref name=":8" /><ref>{{cite news|title=Chemical caused nerve damage to military base workers|agency=PEER|issue=January 20, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Burke|first1=Jill|date=January 20, 2011|title=Unearthed toxin at Fort Wainwright likely injured workers|publisher=Alaska Dispatch}}</ref>
