Threat Summary
Philomath faces a critical environmental hazard score of 9.6 out of 10. The nearest major threat is the Campbell's Cleaners (Former) Superfund site, located 9.0 miles away. While this site is active, it contains unspecified hazardous substances that can move through groundwater or soil. In daily life, this means residents must be careful about local water quality and soil safety. Pollution from old dry cleaners often includes chemicals that stay in the environment for a very long time.
