Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The Hickman Wood Treating site is less than one mile from your location. This area has a critical hazard score because of dangerous chemicals left behind from wood processing. These substances can stay in the soil and water for a long time. For your daily life, this means you must be careful about touching local dirt or drinking water from private wells. Living near an active Superfund site requires staying alert to avoid contact with hidden environmental toxins.
