Regulatory Overview

The Atlantic Corey Crane site, EPA ID 110009349044, is currently an active site on the National Priorities List. Regulatory records indicate the presence of unspecified hazardous substances that may migrate through groundwater or soil. With nine hazardous sites within five miles and forty-five within ten miles, including the Sutton Brook Disposal Area, the cumulative exposure risk is high. Potential health risks include respiratory distress, skin irritation, and long-term organ damage from chemical exposure. Primary exposure pathways are groundwater consumption and soil vapor intrusion. To protect your household, follow these three defensive measures. First, use a certified water filtration system that targets industrial chemicals. Second, perform professional vapor intrusion testing in your basement or crawlspace to check for toxic gases. Third, maintain a grass cover over bare soil to prevent the inhalation of contaminated dust. You can monitor cleanup progress by searching the EPA site for the Atlantic Corey Crane record. These steps reduce the chance of direct contact with pollutants while federal and state agencies manage the active remediation of the surrounding industrial zones.
