Threat Summary

SECTION 1 – THREAT SUMMARY Blacksville has a critical hazard score of 10.0. The River Road Drum Site is only 1.4 miles from your area and contains hazardous substances. Because this site is still active, chemicals can leak into the ground or water. This means your soil and air might carry hidden risks to your health. Stay away from the site and keep children from playing in dirt that might be contaminated.
