Islesford, Maine
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Islesford residents: The Hancock Ellsworth Tannery Superfund site is 7.9 miles away. It contains hazardous substances, meaning harmful chemicals are present. While distant, these could potentially affect local well water if they spread underground. Avoid the tannery site itself. Do not drink water from or play in streams directly near the site. Supervise children, preventing contact with site soil. Be cautious about gardening in areas potentially affected by groundwater. Stay informed for your family's safety.
