Remediation at one of the largest nuclear waste dumps in Parks Township, Armstrong County, is set to begin after years of community protests and lawsuits. A public meeting was held by the Army Corps of Engineers to inform residents about the cleanup process expected to start in early to mid-winter. Residents might hear alarm tests related to worker safety, with assurance that there is no danger to the community. The Army Corps has established numerous air quality monitors around the site to ensure safety during the remediation of buried radioactive waste. The $500 million project is anticipated to last at least six years, emphasizing safety as the top priority.
