Pollution & Cleanup
This is a statewide screening list, not an address check. A site listed somewhere in Texas does not mean a specific home is affected, and given the sheer size of the state that gap can be enormous. Texas's cleanup history reflects a heavy petrochemical, refining, and manufacturing presence, which tends to concentrate environmental concerns along industrial corridors rather than spread them evenly across the map. Alongside EPA's federal program, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality serves as the state-side partner on cleanup. Use what the public records show here as a reason to look more closely when evaluating an address, not as a conclusion about any one of them.
Superfund is a federal EPA program, but cleanup in Texas runs as a joint effort. The state-side partner is the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), which works alongside EPA on listed sites and typically operates its own state remediation and voluntary-cleanup program for contaminated properties that fall outside the federal list. On PFAS at contaminated sites, Texas tends to lean on the federal framework rather than its own enforceable limit. The takeaway: Superfund names a federal process, but the state-level oversight has a real office attached to it in TCEQ.
From EPA's National Priorities List, filtered to sites with confirmed PFAS contamination. EPA's broader Superfund/SEMS inventory is larger and includes non-PFAS and assessment-stage sites.
| Site | Type / status |
|---|---|
| Air Force Plant #4 (General Dynamics) | Federal · NPL: Final |
| Lane Plating Works, INC | Private · NPL: Final |
| Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant | Federal · NPL: Final |
| Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant | Federal · NPL: Final |
| Pantex Plant (Usdoe) | Federal · NPL: Final |

VetMyAddress maps nearby EPA Superfund/NPL sites and grades the address A–F alongside its water, PFAS, flood, and air data.
No PFAS-confirmed Superfund sites turning up for Texas is reassuring, but it is not a full all-clear. The PFAS-confirmed flag is a narrow federal filter, and TCEQ's broader site inventory tracks contamination it would not capture. Read an empty result as encouraging, then let an address-level look fill in the rest of the picture.
A site appearing on this page means EPA has confirmed PFAS contamination at a National Priorities List Superfund site somewhere in Texas. 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 itself is a federal EPA program, but the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is the state-side partner. TCEQ co-manages cleanup alongside EPA and runs Texas's own contaminated-site and voluntary-cleanup efforts for properties that sit outside the federal National Priorities List.
Federal Superfund sites in Texas are listed on EPA's National Priorities List and reflected in the screening list above. A listing flags a site as a federal cleanup priority rather than a judgment on nearby homes, and TCEQ partners with EPA on the cleanup work.
Our curated EPA dataset lists 5 PFAS-confirmed Superfund (NPL) sites in Texas, including Air Force Plant #4 (General Dynamics), Lane Plating Works, INC, Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant. EPA's full Superfund inventory (including non-PFAS and assessment-stage sites) is larger — a specific-address report checks all SEMS sites 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 Texas 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.
