Geology and Mineralogy of Uranium and Thorium in the Reading Prong of Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties, Pennsylvania 2014 – Because of the geology of the area, this specific site is potentially a high-radon area. A significant uranium (U) occurrence at this location is discussed in detail on pp. 62-67. Read more in the above document and check out the short video below.
Geiger Counter at Quarry L – showing the radioactivity at the proposed Wood Ave site https://youtube.com/shorts/RziN30rCZlU?feature=shared The radiation reading of 0.8 mR/hr is about 40 times the normal level of “background radiation” in the Reading Prong. At this intensity, a member of the public would exceed the recommended *annual* radiation limit in less than a week. The radioactivity on this site is real!

Wilson Borough City Council Meeting Minutes 9/9/2024 ***note there were traffic impact study discrepancies pointed out by LVPC in their formal report prior to this meeting, one example: The LVPC reviewed the submitted Transportation Impact Study (TIS) prepared by KCI Technologies Inc. dated December 2023. The LVPC noted substantial discrepancies between the TIS and land development plans regarding what is proposed – the submitted plan set reflects a 1,006,880-square-foot warehouse while the TIS reflects a 221,256-square-foot high cube sort fulfillment center (see Lehigh Valley Planning Commission Report above).
A national study shows the linkages between air pollution and warehouses According to this study, as of 2021, Northampton county has the 10th highest NO2 enhancement from warehouses out of all Pennsylvania counties. Northampton county is 6th in Pennsylvania for number of warehouses per 100,000 residents. NO2, or nitrogen dioxide, is an air pollutant that is associated with many impacts on human health.
The national climate assessment highlights that extreme precipitation events are increasing in Pennsylvania and the rest of the Northeastern US The northeastern US region, including PA, has some of the largest trends across the US in terms of long term changes in how often and how much extreme precipitation we receive. This means more stormwater and more flooding when combined with impervious surfaces added by warehouses, streets, parking lots, and other buildings.
