Belgrade Lakes, Maine
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Belgrade Lakes faces a critical environmental hazard score of 8.0. The American Woolen Mill in Vassalboro is the nearest Superfund site. While it is eight miles away, hazardous substances can travel through water and soil. This means local residents must be careful about where they get their water and how they use the land. Pollutants often hide in the ground or streams, potentially affecting fishing or swimming in connected areas if contaminants migrate from the original industrial site.
