Chattanooga, Tennessee
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Residents in the 37415 area face a critical environmental risk. The Amnicola Dump is a nearby Superfund site contaminated with Polychlorinated Biphenyls, or PCBs. These dangerous chemicals do not break down easily in nature. They can settle into the soil and water near your home. For daily life, this means you must be careful about touching dirt or eating fish from local streams. These toxins can build up in your body over time and cause serious long-term health problems.
Action Required
Immediate action is necessary to address housing safety and environmental health. Residents should contact Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise at 423-756-6201 to discuss home remediation programs or safe housing options. For financial counseling related to property impacts, reach out to CCCS of Rochester-Chattanooga at 423-490-5620. Additionally, the Chattanooga Audubon Society serves as a resource for understanding local ecosystem health. You must verify that your property is not located on a historical drainage path from the Amnicola Dump. Prioritize indoor air quality and restrict children from playing in unpaved areas to reduce direct contact with potential toxins.
