Underground fuel tanks

EPA's UST Finder records 1,004 tank facilities in Lane: 399 tanks in service and 2,378 closed. 891 fuel releases are on record, of which 107 remain open. Open releases are cleanups that have not reached "no further action".

Radon

EPA maps Lane as Zone 3, the lowest predicted indoor radon (under 2 pCi/L average). Radon and air quality are covered in depth on lung.com.

The record for one specific address

County figures blur what matters: distance. The Address Environmental Report runs these same federal datasets against one address and reports every site, tank, polluter and water result around it, with distances, in about a minute.
