There has been a sharp increase in population in the last few years. This has mostly been on or near the several lakes and golf courses.

He exposed maybe even as many as 40,000 people in the area to radioactive materials. This drew the attention of the EPA. The event became a short-lived media sensation. A book by Ken Silverstein called The Radioactive Boy Scout was written about the incident and published in 2004.
