Greensboro, North Carolina
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The Pleasant Garden PCE site is a critical environmental hazard located only 1.7 miles from your area. This site is contaminated with tetrachloroethylene, a chemical often used in dry cleaning. This chemical can seep into the soil and groundwater, potentially affecting the air you breathe inside your home through a process called vapor intrusion. Exposure to these fumes can cause long-term health issues. Because the hazard score is at a maximum level, you must stay informed about your water source.
Action Required
Residents should immediately contact the Greensboro Housing Coalition at 336-691-9521 to discuss safe housing options and environmental health resources. For local land advocacy and soil safety information, reach out to the NC Foundation For Soil And Water Conservation Inc. It is vital to confirm whether your property is connected to a treated municipal water line or a private well. If you are a renter, share this hazard report with your landlord to ensure the property undergoes proper vapor intrusion screening and water quality verification to meet local safety standards.
