Lafayette, Indiana
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
The Canal Road Station is a critical hazard site located just over two miles from your home. Because this area is listed on the National Priorities List, the soil and water may contain dangerous chemicals that are not always visible. These unspecified hazardous substances can impact your daily life by polluting the groundwater you use or the dirt where children play. Living near a 10.0 rated hazard zone means you must stay alert to local environmental warnings to stay safe.

You should contact Lafayette Neighborhood Housing Services, also known as Homestead Resources, at 765-423-1284 to discuss safe housing options or potential environmental mitigation grants available for local properties.
