Bartlesville, Oklahoma
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
SECTION 1 – THREAT SUMMARY The Bartlesville Mercury Spill site creates a critical danger level of 10.0 for residents in the 74003 area. Located only 1.4 miles away, this active Superfund site contains petroleum hydrocarbons and mercury. These chemicals can get into the air you breathe and the soil where children play. Because the cleanup is still active, the pollution is not yet gone. Residents must be careful about touching local dirt or drinking water that has not been professionally tested.
Action Required
SECTION 3 – ACTION REQUIRED Immediate steps are necessary to protect your household from environmental hazards. Contact the Cdots Institute For Innovation and Economic Growth Inc to learn about local environmental safety programs. For those in subsidized or public housing concerned about site proximity, contact the HUD housing agency at 1-800-569-4287 to discuss relocation options or safety inspections. Additionally, residents should coordinate with the African Violet Society Of Greater Tulsa for guidance on safe urban gardening practices in potentially contaminated soil. Do not delay in seeking professional assessment of your immediate living environment to ensure your long-term health.
