Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Marion faces a critical hazard level due to its proximity to the Gurley Pit Superfund site. This location contains dangerous hazardous substances that can contaminate the soil and groundwater you use every day. Because the site is only 3.9 miles away, these toxins may travel through the environment and reach your home. Exposure to these materials can lead to long-term health problems. You must stay informed about local water quality and avoid direct contact with unidentified soil or runoff.
