(New York, NY—Jul. 23, 2010)— With the help of millions of dollars in Recovery Act funding, an important milestone will be reached on Monday in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) cleanup of the expansive Welsbach Superfund site in Camden, New Jersey.
Walter Mugdan, Superfund Director of EPA Region 2, Congressman Robert E. Andrews, Camden Mayor Dana Redd, and Heart of Camden’s Executive Director Helene Pierson, will mark the demolition of a large building adjacent to the former General Gas Mantle facility in Camden. The building, located near the intersection of South Fourth Street and Jefferson, must be demolished to allow EPA to clean up radiologically contaminated soil underneath.
The demolition will be at 11 AM.
