Description

In this paper, plans for the offsite disposal of waste from the Denver Radium Superfund Site are discussed. The Denver Radium Site consists of over forty radium contaminated properties in Metropolitan Denver. These properties were contaminated from the production of radium during the early twentieth century. The properties have housed a variety of activities, and uses now vary from empty land to warehouses to retail and manufacturing facilities. The remedial action project currently under way at the Denver Radium Site is one of the largest in the United States where the selected remedy is offsite disposal
