Exeter, Maine
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Residents in Exeter face a high hazard score of 6.6 out of 10. The Eastland Woolen Mill- RT 222 site is the most significant threat located less than eight miles away. Because the EPA identifies hazardous substances at this active site, these chemicals could potentially impact local groundwater and soil quality. In daily life, this means you must be cautious about where your water comes from. Testing private wells and staying away from the mill site prevents accidental exposure.
