This site provides information regarding the Pottstown Landfill Closure Committee actions and includes a link to the Bureau's report on Radiation, Radioactivity & Environmental Surveillance at Pottstown Landfill.
This report documents radioactive materials, devices, and sources that have been involved in events, improperly discarded as solid waste, or abandoned in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania beginning in the years 2003 and 2004.
The catalog includes many, but not all, of the documented radioactive material events for this period.
This catalog is the first in a series of annual publications and continues to be updated with event information as the information becomes available.
For more information about monitoring for radioactive materials in solid waste please contact the Licensing Section via e-mail or by calling 717-787-2480.
