Threat Summary

The hazard score for Weyauwega is a critical 9.2 out of 10. This is primarily due to the WCL Derailment Superfund site located just over half a mile away. When trains carrying hazardous chemicals crash, they leak dangerous substances into the soil and water. These unspecified chemicals can enter your home through groundwater or dust in the air. Living this close to a major spill means you must be careful about your water and soil to stay healthy.

Action Required

Immediate action is necessary for residents within the 54983 ZIP code. You should contact local environmental organizations to stay informed about soil testing and groundwater safety. The Almond Rod & Gun Club Inc is a relevant environmental resource that may provide insights into local conservation and safety efforts. Additionally, if your housing stability is affected by environmental concerns, contact a HUD housing agency for assistance at 1-800-569-4287. Prioritize professional testing for any private wells and ensure your indoor air quality is monitored until the WCL Derailment site reaches a closed status.
