Strube, Inc. is an aircraft instrument sales and refurbishment contractor with a main office in Marietta, Pennsylvania. The founder of Strube, Inc. (now deceased) had purchased large quantities of military surplus aircraft parts beginning soon after the end of World War II. As the company’s inventory grew, Strube purchased additional warehouse space in several nearby communities. Currently, Strube owns warehouses on seven properties located in the towns of Marietta, Columbia, Maytown, and Mt. Joy, all located in Lancaster County.
EPA’s concern regarding this Site arises out of the potential threat to human health and the environment from the past and current storage of radium paint contained in excessed military items. Storage and control of these items alone are insufficient to mitigate the potential threat posed to human health and the environment.
