"There's no reason for us not to take it," Dancy said. "We have an agreement to accept this material. We have permission from the DEP." - James Dancy / Pennsylvania Area Vice President for Waste Management (Source: couriertimesNOW.com - 8/8/2008)
Waste Management was given permission by the PaDEP to import "low active radation" waste in to its Falls Landfill. Waste Management plans to import 750 ton of sludge from a Waste Water Treatment plant. The radation came from laundry that washed the uniforms of nuclear plant workers.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission and DEP officials state that at worst the material poses a low risk to residents living around the landfill.
