Threat Summary

Warrenton faces a critical safety score of 9.5 out of 10. The nearby Roadside PCB Spill Superfund site is only 1.3 miles away. PCBs are dangerous chemicals that do not break down easily in the environment. They stay in the soil and water for a long time. For people living nearby, this means you must be careful about touching local dirt or eating fish from nearby streams. These toxins can harm your body if they are inhaled or swallowed.

Action Required

Residents must take immediate steps to secure their living environment. Contact the Carolina Wetlands Association or the B W Wells Association Inc to inquire about local water quality monitoring programs. For those in subsidized or public housing concerned about property contamination, contact the HUD housing agency at 1-800-569-4287. Request a formal environmental assessment if your residence is within the 1.3-mile radius of the Roadside PCB Spill. Engaging with these organizations ensures you receive the latest safety updates and technical assistance for property remediation in the Warrenton area.
