Clay Center, Nebraska
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Clay Center faces a critical hazard level due to its proximity to the Hruska Meat Animal Research Center. This Superfund site contains hazardous substances that can move through the soil and into the water supply. Because the area was once used for military activities, these pollutants may be hidden underground near your home. These chemicals can affect the safety of the water you drink and the ground where children play. Staying away from restricted areas is vital for your safety.
