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. The R3 MCP was mobilized to the site this morning.
RERT continued sampling activities in one warehouse in Columbia. Sampling for particulates, Radon concentration and gamma exposure was completed for several different floors. Sampling will continue in the same warehouse in Columbia tomorrow.
EPA's ERRS contractor will subcontract for the removal of the drums currently staged in one warehouse.
EPA NDT members and contractors will visit the site during the week of February 11, 2008.
