Lupton City, Tennessee
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Lupton City faces a critical hazard rating of 10.0 out of 10. The Amnicola Dump is the primary Superfund site, located three miles away. This area contains dangerous chemicals called Polychlorinated Biphenyls, or PCBs. These toxins stay in the environment for a long time and do not break down easily. They build up in soil, water, and local wildlife. For daily life, this means residents must avoid contact with soil near industrial zones and refrain from eating local fish.

Residents must take immediate steps to secure their living environment and explore remediation assistance.

These organizations provide resources for community health monitoring and education. Document any unusual odors or soil discoloration and report them to local authorities. Seeking professional soil testing for properties within one mile of the Lupton City PCB site is a necessary precaution for all current homeowners.
