Hampton, Illinois
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Hampton residents face a critical 10.0 hazard score due to extreme proximity to toxic waste. The East Moline Mercury Superfund site is located only 2.2 miles from the center of town. Because this site contains hazardous substances, chemicals may be moving through the soil or groundwater toward your home. Living near six active contamination sites means your daily environment could contain invisible threats. Avoid disturbing local soil or eating fish from the Mississippi River Pool #15 to stay safe.
Action Required
Immediate action is necessary to secure your living environment against local toxins.

For community-led environmental advocacy and information on local water quality, engage with the nonprofit Living Lands & Waters. These organizations provide the necessary infrastructure for residents to address the critical 10.0 hazard score. You must document all property concerns and present them to these agencies to ensure your household receives priority status for environmental mitigation resources available in the Hampton area.
