Radioactive waste connected to the Manhattan Project and Cold War era research will be removed with Army Corps of Engineers securing tens of millions in funding.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will start staging equipment for capping a nuclear waste disposal site in Tonawanda. Work includes grading access roads, stormwater management, erosion control, gas monitoring, planting vegetative soils and installing cap materials.
