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 continues to provide security and a fire watch until the threat is mitigated. EPA has acquired full access for sampling as of this date. RERT has begun sampling activities in one warehouse.
EPA's Radiological Emergency Response team will conduct a further removal evaluation which will consist of radiological sampling of all the warehouses as well as nearby properties. Continuing actions will include the 24 hour site security (including the physical securing of the warehouses), radiation associated sampling and the removal of the drums currently staged in one warehouse.
ERRS will subcontract for the removal of the drums containing radiological materials from one warehouse.
