  I feel like they pretty much have it under control at this point, though there is always the danger of an accident. If I had ot go live there again I would probably not live 3/4 of a mile from their 63 acre toxic waste dump. The more I read about the history and current status, the more concerning it was. While I lived there incidents occurred like accidental release of radioactive gases and organic compounds. Another fun thing, the open hiking area by my house had a sign warning that one might encounter one of dozens of types of undetonated ordinance from the 50s and 60s when they used it as a test bombing range. There were many very healthy looking elderly people walking around the neighborhood each day, so it can't be that deadly. I actually became very ill while living there (I developed adult onset type 1 diabetes), but I don't believe it had anything to do with the area.
