Is there a toxic site nearby?

EPA's Facility Registry Service: Superfund National Priorities List sites (on, proposed, or deleted after cleanup), the wider Superfund program list of sites ever assessed, and facilities that have reported to the Toxics Release Inventory. A ZIP is colored by whether an NPL site lies inside it, otherwise by the distance to the nearest one, including sites just across the state line in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan. Reporting to the inventory records chemical use and release, not a measured exposure. Ohio EPA's Voluntary Action Program covenants mark former industrial sites certified clean. Ohio EPA's licensed landfills, transfer stations and compost sites round out the picture. ECHO's hazardous waste handler list adds violations, penalties and the nearest treatment, storage or disposal facility. The card ends with the nearest scrap tire and household battery drop-off sites from Ohio EPA's lists. EPA's UST Finder adds the gas-station-style underground storage tanks inside the ZIP and the leaking-tank releases reported there, with those inside a drinking-water source protection area called out.

1,229 of 1,233 ZIPs have data; median 13.8 mi.
