Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The Chisman Creek Superfund site is located only 1.9 miles from your home. This area has a critical hazard score because of dangerous chemicals left in the ground. These substances can move through the soil and into the water people use every day. Because this site is still active, it poses a risk to your health. Be careful about touching local soil or drinking water from private wells until you are sure they are safe.
