Threat Summary
Browns Mills faces a critical safety risk because of nearby hazardous waste sites. The Big Hill SLF Superfund site is only 2.5 miles away and is currently active. While the specific chemicals are not fully listed, they often soak into the ground or travel through water. This means you should be careful about using well water for drinking or gardening. Soil near old landfills can also carry hidden dangers. Staying informed is the best way to keep your family safe.
