Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Living near the Army Reserve XVIII Airborne Corps site in Rocky Mount means you are close to dangerous hazardous substances. Because this site is an active Superfund location, chemicals could be in the soil or groundwater near your home. These hidden toxins can affect your health if you touch the dirt or drink unfiltered water. You should avoid playing in vacant lots or using well water until tests prove they are safe. Local safety levels are at a critical ten.
