Winterport, Maine
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Winterport residents: The Bangor-Aroostook Railroad Company Superfund site is 9.4 miles away, containing unspecified hazardous substances. These chemicals can harm your health. While distant, be aware: such substances could potentially affect air quality if disturbed, or enter local water sources. This impacts safe drinking water and makes gardening risky if chemicals reach soil. Children are especially sensitive; keep them from playing directly at or near any old industrial sites to prevent exposure.
