Vulcan, Missouri
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Vulcan faces a critical safety risk due to its proximity to the Highway N Lead Concentrate Truck Rollover site. This active Superfund site is only 1.8 miles away and contains dangerous lead. Lead is a heavy metal that can enter your body through dust or dirt. For daily life, this means outdoor activities carry a risk of tracking toxic particles into your home. You must be careful about children playing in the dirt or growing food in local soil.
Action Required
Residents should contact local organizations to discuss environmental safety and housing protections. The Coldwater Outing And Game Preserve provides information on local land conservation and safety. For housing concerns or lead abatement assistance, contact the HUD Housing Agency at 1-800-569-4287. Additionally, the East Ozarks Audubon Society and the Semo Grotto of the National Speleological Society can offer insights into local soil and water health. Request a soil test kit from these resources to verify the safety of your property. Taking these steps ensures your family remains protected from local heavy metal contamination.
