Kelso, Missouri
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Residents in Kelso face a critical environmental hazard score of 8.1 out of 10. The Hubble Creek Arsenic Well is only 4.6 miles away and is the main threat. High levels of arsenic in the environment can affect your daily life by polluting the water you drink or the soil where children play. Because this site is still active, you must be careful about contact with untreated well water or dust from nearby construction areas or dry fields.
Action Required
Residents must seek guidance on safe housing and environmental maintenance immediately. Contact the HUD Housing Agencies at 1-800-569-4287 to inquire about arsenic abatement programs or to find safe housing alternatives if your residence is impacted by groundwater plumes. For local environmental health support, contact Bollinger County Recycling or Heartland Trail Trash to ensure hazardous materials are disposed of properly. Engaging with Aaf Cape Girardeau provides community-level advocacy for the cleanup of the Hubble Creek Arsenic Well. These organizations offer the necessary resources to mitigate the 8.1 hazard rating effectively and protect your family.
