Regulatory Overview

The Buells Greenhouses site is an active National Priorities List location under EPA ID 110071099798. Regulatory records show the presence of hazardous substances that threaten local groundwater and soil. Exposure pathways include inhaling contaminated dust, touching surface soil, and drinking untreated well water. Long-term exposure to these toxins can cause respiratory issues or neurological damage. To defend your health, residents should install high-grade carbon filtration on all private wells to capture migrating chemicals. Second, maintain thick grass or mulch over bare soil to prevent inhaling windblown dust. Third, remove outdoor shoes before entering the home to avoid tracking polluted sediment inside. Monitoring EPA cleanup progress is vital as remediation is still active. These steps are necessary because other hazards like the Linemaster Switch Corp-Treatment Plant also impact the local environment.
