Pollution & Cleanup
Superfund is a heavy word, so let's keep things calm and measured. The list below is a statewide screening view, not an address check, and a site somewhere in Nevada does not mean a specific home is affected. The state's environmental record is shaped in large part by a deep mining legacy, which influences what tends to appear in lists like this one. Cleanup is a partnership: the federal EPA runs the national Superfund program, and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) is the state-side partner. Use this page to understand what the public records show statewide, and treat any single address as its own separate matter worth reviewing.
Cleanup in Nevada brings together the federal EPA and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), which acts as the state-side partner on Superfund and runs its own state corrective-action and remediation work. The NDEP helps oversee listed sites and tracks contaminated locations that fall outside the federal list. On PFAS at contaminated sites, Nevada tends to follow the federal program rather than imposing separate state numbers. The quieting fact behind the word Superfund: a named state office is co-managing these sites alongside EPA, not leaving them to a distant federal file.
No PFAS-confirmed NPL Superfund sites listed in Nevada
Our curated dataset of PFAS-confirmed National Priorities List sites currently shows none in Nevada. That's reassuring on the PFAS-Superfund front, but not a full all-clear: EPA's broader Superfund/SEMS inventory includes many non-PFAS and earlier-stage sites that aren't in this list. To see every EPA Superfund site near a particular Nevada property — plus its water, PFAS, flood, and air profile — check the specific address.

VetMyAddress maps nearby EPA Superfund/NPL sites and grades the address A–F alongside its water, PFAS, flood, and air data.
If Nevada shows no PFAS-confirmed Superfund sites, that is good to see, but it is not a full all-clear. The NDEP and EPA keep a much broader SEMS inventory than the PFAS-confirmed subset, so an empty result here mainly means this narrow slice is quiet in the state, not that every site has been ruled out. Take it as a reassuring start, not a final conclusion.
A site appearing on this page means EPA has confirmed PFAS contamination at a National Priorities List Superfund site somewhere in Nevada. It is a statewide screening list. It does not tell you the distance from any specific home, the exposure pathway, or whether the local drinking-water system is affected.
For a specific property, the things that actually matter are:
That address-level synthesis — nearest-site distance plus the home's full environmental profile in one A–F grade — is what the VetMyAddress report is for.
Superfund cleanup in Nevada is co-managed by the federal EPA, which runs the national program, and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), which serves as the state-side partner and runs its own corrective-action and remediation work across the state.
A Superfund site is a location on the federal National Priorities List flagged for long-term cleanup. In Nevada, many trace back to the state's mining legacy, and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection partners with EPA to oversee the work.
The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, or NDEP, is the state agency that protects Nevada's water, land, and air and works alongside EPA on contaminated-site cleanup, including Superfund sites.
Our curated dataset of PFAS-confirmed NPL Superfund sites currently lists none in Nevada. That is not a clean bill of health: EPA's broader Superfund/SEMS inventory includes many non-PFAS and assessment-stage sites. A specific-address report checks the full EPA SEMS database near the property.
Proximity is a starting point, not a verdict. Real-world impact depends on distance, the type of contamination, the exposure pathway (groundwater, soil, vapor), the home's water source, and the cleanup stage. A site two miles away marked 'construction complete' is very different from an active site next door.
Use VetMyAddress to see EPA Superfund/NPL sites near any Nevada address, bundled with the home's drinking water, PFAS, flood zone, and air-quality data in a single plain-English A–F grade. EPA's own ECHO database (echo.epa.gov) is the free, official source if you prefer to dig through the raw records.
It means PFAS ('forever chemicals') have been documented in the contamination at that National Priorities List site. PFAS is persistent and can migrate through groundwater, so a confirmed PFAS site is worth pairing with the home's drinking-water and PFAS data to understand the exposure pathway.
