The DOD/USN SB/AREA A LANDFILL #2 is an active site on the National Priorities List, meaning the EPA is currently supervising long-term cleanup. Exposure pathways for residents typically involve groundwater contamination or the movement of hazardous vapors through soil into buildings. Because the site is part of a naval base, health risks often involve exposure to heavy metals or industrial solvents, which can lead to chronic health problems if ingested or inhaled. Residents should consult the EPA site profile for ID 110070605270 to track remediation progress. To mitigate risks, follow three defensive measures. First, install a certified water filtration system that targets heavy metals and volatile organic compounds for all household water. Second, perform regular indoor air quality testing to ensure that chemical vapors from the soil are not entering your home. Third, wash your hands and shoes immediately after spending time outdoors to prevent tracking potentially contaminated soil into your residence. These steps provide protection against the pollutants found at the nine nearby industrial sites, including the U.S. Naval Submarine Base and local textile printing facilities. Constant vigilance regarding environmental data is necessary for those living within five miles of these active hazard zones.
