Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The Amnicola Dump is a major Superfund site located less than five miles from your home. Because this area has a critical 10.0 hazard score, your daily environment faces risks from dangerous chemicals left in the ground. These unspecified hazardous substances can move through the soil or water. This means you must be careful about where you play or plant gardens. With thirty nearby toxic sites, including local fires and mercury spills, the air and water quality require constant attention.
