Pollution & Cleanup
Worth saying plainly at the outset: the list below is a statewide screening inventory, not an address check. A Superfund site somewhere in Wyoming does not mean a specific home is affected; the distance, the geology, and the home's water source decide that. Wyoming's industrial story leans toward energy extraction, mining, and a relatively light manufacturing footprint by comparison with many states, and the records partly reflect that history. On the state side of EPA's federal program, the Department of Environmental Quality is the office doing this work. Take the list as background worth reviewing when evaluating an address, never as a conclusion about one particular property.
On contaminated-site cleanup, the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is the state-side partner to the federal EPA, helping track and remediate the most serious sites and typically running its own voluntary-remediation and site-cleanup efforts for sites below the federal National Priorities List threshold. When PFAS turns up at a contaminated site, Wyoming tends to address it through that combined state-and-federal approach rather than a separately advertised state standard. Under a word as heavy as Superfund, the orienting fact is that DEQ is a named office actively managing this work.
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.

VetMyAddress maps nearby EPA Superfund/NPL sites and grades the address A–F alongside its water, PFAS, flood, and air data.
A statewide list is a map of where to look, not a verdict on a particular doorstep, and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality's remediation role means a listed site is one under management. Whether a nearby site actually touches an address comes down to four things the list cannot settle on its own: the distance between site and home, what was released and whether any pathway reaches people, how far cleanup has progressed, and where the home draws its water. Superfund's vocabulary, CERCLA and NPL and SEMS, runs to its own dialect, but the human question stays simple: does this reach me, and how close is it to done.
If Wyoming shows no PFAS-confirmed NPL sites below, note it, but do not read it as a full all-clear. It means the federal list has not flagged PFAS at a Superfund site here, while DEQ's broader site inventory may still track contamination the federal headline does not capture. For any one address, the grounded next move is a property-specific report, not the statewide tally.
A site appearing on this page means EPA has confirmed PFAS contamination at a National Priorities List Superfund site somewhere in Wyoming. 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 Wyoming is co-managed: the federal EPA leads on National Priorities List sites, and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) acts as the state-side partner, typically running additional state remediation and voluntary-cleanup programs for sites outside the federal list.
The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, or DEQ, is the state's lead environmental agency. For contaminated sites it works alongside the federal EPA on Superfund listings and generally runs Wyoming's own state-level remediation programs for sites that stay below the federal threshold.
The list on this page comes from the federal National Priorities List for Wyoming, the same data EPA maintains. Because it spans the whole state rather than a single address, treat it as a statewide overview, then turn to a property-specific report for any particular home.
Our curated EPA dataset lists 1 PFAS-confirmed Superfund (NPL) site in Wyoming, including F.E. Warren Air Force Base. 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 Wyoming 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.
