The site s production building began to collapse in early 2020, and was used for the production of beryllium from 1949 - 1958 under a contract with the Atomic Energy Commission.
The contractor currently is packaging its debris for disposal at US Ecology in Belleville, Michigan.
Two additional buildings, the main office building and the maintenance building, were also completely deconstructed. Deconstruction of the main office building was completed on Thursday, March 11, and the deconstruction of the maintenance building was finished on Friday, Feb. 12.

During the deconstruction, water misters were used to prevent and control the amount of dust that was generated.

BUFFALO, N.Y. The Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District will soon be relocating to a new district office.
It s going to lease space in the old Hens and Kelly Building on Main Street in downtown Buffalo.
Officials say the current location on Niagara Street had deficiencies and they need to look for new office space.
“Though we’ll maintain operations at Black Rock Lock, the District’s new headquarters downtown puts us closer to our local, state, and federal partners and will greatly enhance our ability to support the region. We’re also excited as this move will improve the quality of life for 250 employees who will get to be a part of the downtown fabric and take part in all the activities the city of Buffalo has to offer,” said LTC Eli Adams, USACE Buffalo District Commander.
