Threat Summary

The Delaware City PVC Plant is a major environmental threat located just 3.2 miles away. This site is on the National Priorities List because it contains hazardous substances that can leak into the soil and water. Living near a critical hazard zone means these chemicals might reach your home through the air or drinking water. With five Superfund sites within five miles, the cumulative pollution risk is extremely high. Residents must remain cautious about local soil and tap water safety.
