EPA is holding a public hearing tonight to discuss groundwater contamination at the Montclair/West Orange/Glen Ridge radium sites. The groundwater near the sites contains radon-222 at "levels which are outside of EPA's acceptable risk range," but the agency recommends doing nothing, as nobody drinks the groundwater. The public is invited to comment. The meeting is at Nishuane School, 32 Cedar Avenue in Montclair.
