Notable incidents

On 19 May 1983, 41 barrels of highly toxic chemical waste (dioxin-based), originating from the Seveso disaster, were found in an unused abattoir in Anguilcourt-le-Sart. The barrels, which had been illegally abandoned here by a transport contractor, were transferred the same evening to a military base near Sissonne. They were later destroyed in a high-temperature incinerator in Switzerald.[3]

The A26 autoroute (Autoroute des Anglais, E17) from Saint-Quentin to Rheims passes through the north-eastern part of the commune but has no exit in the commune. Access to the commune is by the D69 road from Renansart in the north-east passing through the heart of the commune and village and continuing south to Les Larris. The D643 road also enters the commune from Achery in the west through the village and continuing east to Nouvion-le-Comte. the commune is almost entirely farmland except for some forest in the south-west.[4]

The Serre river flows through the commune from east to west just south of the village forming a part of the western boundary of the commune before joining the Oise at Le Travers.[4]

gollark: I don't know what you mean. Hash functions are just, well, mathematical functions, which take some arbitrary length value and output a fixed length output.
gollark: What?
gollark: Well, it would be much much faster and more accurate to just use dedicated hardware which... hashes them?
