Radon Mitigation in Jersey Shore

High radon risk from Devonian shale formations lining the West Branch Susquehanna valley. Jersey Shore sits where Pine Creek enters the Susquehanna, on fractured Devonian shale and siltstone with naturally elevated uranium. The valley's relatively narrow profile at this point concentrates residential development on the geological formations most productive for radon. Lycoming County's consistently elevated testing data confirms the area-wide risk.
