RETTEW REPORT NOTES UNACCEPTABLE LEAD LEVELS AT THE QUARRY

 

Columbia Borough Council President Heather Zink wants to make the quarry area on the former McGinness airport property into a park, but Phase II of the 2017 Rettew study states that the lead levels there are almost 10 times the permissible limit. (The quarry also contains various other substances). No wonder the report was suppressed until after the borough purchased the property.

Ironically, the borough is currently touting a Lead-Free Families program.
