Threat Summary

The Woodstock Die Cast Inc Superfund site is only 0.4 miles away, making this area a high-risk zone. While this site is listed for unspecified hazardous substances, these chemicals can move through the soil and water near your home. This means ordinary activities like gardening or playing in the yard could expose your family to hidden dangers. You cannot see or smell many of these toxins, but they can hurt your health over time if you are not careful.

Residents should immediately contact the Ancient Oaks Foundation to learn about local land conservation and soil safety efforts.
