Cleanup ends on radium contaminated Stratford homes
In Lansdowne residents and officials marked completion of the nation’s only residential Superfund cleanup at 105 Stratford Ave. Rep. Curt Weldon praised persistent borough leaders. The $11.6 million project removed 4 097 tons of radioactive soil shipped to Utah. EPA and state partners led the effort begun in the 1960s after earlier cleanups failed.
