Cleanup at the Tonawanda Landfill Begins on Saturdays

The following was received from the Army Corp of Engineers on the Cleanup of the Tonawanda Landfill:

We are making progress in our cleanup at the Tonawanda Landfill Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP)  Vicinity Property.  To date we have excavated 3,595 tons of FUSRAP-contaminated soil from the vicinity property.  We are preparing to backfill four of our eight excavation areas. Work is going to be performed on Saturdays at the site for a while. You may hear typical construction site sounds on Saturdays between 8 a.m. and  5 p.m.

Our priorities for this project are to be protective of human health and the environment, to ensure that work is conducted in a safe and efficient manner, and to prevent the spread of contamination.  If you know anyone that is interested in receiving our project updates, please ask them to email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.
