The Town Around It
Whatever the address, these are Egremont's numbers. Each one opens the full record.
Flood, Town-wide
Flood Map Unavailable
The federal flood map for this town has not been digitised, so flood risk here is unmapped; that is not the same as absent. Ask the town's building department before relying on any flood answer.
1 federal flood-insurance claim has been filed from this town since 2011. Counted by the claim's self-reported city, so this can undercount. History, not a prediction.

The Cleanup Registry
Reported releases of oil or hazardous material, from the state's public registry. Being listed means a release was reported, not that it remains: the status letters run from active cleanup to closed. An empty list is a registry fact, not a clean bill of environmental health.

3 of the town's closed cleanups carry a recorded land-use restriction: the deed limits what the property may be used for. Each links to its state file above; ask for the restriction's text before buying one.
