Alda, Nebraska
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Alda faces a critical hazard score due to its proximity to the Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant. This site is a National Priorities List Superfund location less than five miles away. Hazardous substances from past military work can sink into the ground and travel through the water supply. This means the water you use for drinking or gardening might contain dangerous chemicals. Residents must stay alert to local water reports to avoid long-term health problems from invisible environmental pollution.
