Threat Summary
Oak Harbor faces a critical environmental hazard score of 10.0 out of 10. The Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, specifically Ault Field, is an active Superfund site located just over two miles away. This means the soil and water contain dangerous substances left over from military operations. These contaminants can travel through groundwater or dust. For your daily life, this means you must be careful about drinking well water and playing in soil that has not been tested for safety.
