NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WKBW) — The radiological survey of Niagara and Erie counties appears to have now extended into Niagara Falls, with soil sampling taking place on Jerauld Avenue.
Several New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and US Environmental Protection Agency employees were seen working in Niagara Falls on Thursday.
Those employees were seen around the garage of a home on the corner of Jerauld Avenue and 26th Street. They appeared to dig through the yard and take soil samples, testing for high levels of radioactive material in people’s yards.
DEC and EPA leaders spoke late last month about what exactly they’re looking for when these tests come to Niagara neighborhoods.
