May 15, 2009- Port Richmond community members are taking matters into their own hands when it comes to soil contamination in their neighborhood. Last week, residents created giant signs warning people away from a lead contaminated empty lot on the corner of Richmond Terrace and Park Avenue and informing them not to play at nearby Veterans Park.
At a meeting tomorrow, the Port Richmond Improvement Association will continue the conversation about the high levels of lead confirmed by the federal Environmental Protection Agency to be in the soil in the former lead factory site at 2000 Richmond Terr. as well as the lead and arsenic contamination at Veteran's Park.
