The President’s Budget for fiscal year 2025 released yesterday includes more than $7.2 billion in discretionary funding for the Civil Works program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with just over $155 million set aside for Buffalo District projects.
Of great significance for the region is $101.35 million in funding for projects within the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. FUSRAP was initiated in 1974 to identify, investigate, and clean up or control sites that were part of the Nation's early atomic energy and weapons program. Activities at the sites that are eligible for FUSRAP were conducted by the Manhattan Engineer District or the Atomic Energy Commission, both predecessors of the Department of Energy.
The Civil Works budget funds $54.35 million within the Operation and Maintenance Program, which includes maintenance of federal shipping channels and navigation structures within the Buffalo District’s area of responsibility, including the Black Rock Lock and operation and maintenance of the Mount Morris Dam. These structures are part of the Great Lakes Navigation System, which provides significant economic benefit to the Nation and added shoreline protection and flood reduction benefits to areas behind the structures.
