Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
SECTION 1 – THREAT SUMMARY The Oceana Salvage site is a dangerous area located only 1.2 miles from your home. It contains hazardous chemicals that can make people very sick over time. Because these toxins are so close, they can blow into your yard as dust or wash into the water you use. You should not play in the soil or drink water from private wells. Staying away from the site and keeping your house clean are the best ways to stay safe.
