The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Buffalo District has received additional funding to advance efforts under the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) to protect the health and well-being of communities and the environment.
“Like emergency preparedness and disaster response, cleanup of these contaminated sites is a crucial mission at which the Corps of Engineers truly excels. These funds will enable the Corps of Engineers to accelerate their work so they can continue to deliver results for impacted communities across the nation,” said Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Adam Telle.
As a result of cost recovery efforts under FUSRAP, the Buffalo District will receive $70.5 million to further remediation activities at five projects in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as congressionally authorized under FUSRAP, cleans up contamination from sites in the United States resulting from work performed as part of the nation’s early atomic energy program. As a result of cost recovery efforts under FUSRAP, USACE has received $155 million to advance remediation at numerous FUSRAP sites across the nation. In total, six USACE districts will receive additional funding to advance efforts on 12 FUSRAP projects located across seven states. Disbursement of funds across the program was determined based on numerous factors including planned contract actions and project schedules.
