West Lafayette, Indiana
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Living in the 47907 area poses a critical risk due to local toxic waste. The Canal Road Station is a Superfund site located only 1.2 miles away. Because this site contains unspecified hazardous substances, your air, soil, and groundwater could be contaminated. These chemicals do not disappear on their own and can cause long-term health problems if you breathe or touch them. This 10.0 hazard rating means you must stay alert and avoid any contact with old industrial areas.
Action Required
Residents should contact the Americus Area Community Coalition to receive updates on local environmental advocacy and cleanup efforts. For those concerned about the impact of toxic sites on their property or housing safety, assistance is available through Lafayette Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. dba Homestead Resources. You can reach this agency by calling 765-423-1284 to discuss housing quality and potential relocation resources. Monitoring local water quality reports and participating in community conservation meetings with the Benton County Conservation Club will provide additional layers of protection and information regarding the West Lafayette hazard profile and ongoing remediation.
