Regulatory Overview

Highline Products Corp (EPA ID: 110002089267) is an active NPL site involving unspecified hazardous substances. Exposure pathways include groundwater ingestion, soil contact, and vapor intrusion from legacy industrial activities. Health risks associated with such sites often include respiratory issues, skin irritation, and long-term systemic damage depending on the specific toxins involved. Four additional hazardous sites like L C DOANE COMPANY and VERPLEX COMPANY sit within a five-mile radius, increasing cumulative exposure risks.
