Five sites in New York State are undergoing remedial action planning under the Department of Energy's (DOE) Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). The Colonie site is located in the Town of Colonie, about 4 miles northwest of downtown Albany. The other four sites (Ashland 1, Ashland 2, Seaway, and Linde) are located in the Town of Tonawanda, just north of Buffalo, and are collectively known as the Tonawanda site. None of the New York FUSRAP sites is on the National Priorities List (NPL). The Tonawanda sites were included in FUSRAP between 1980 and 1984 because the radioactive material at these sites originated from activities performed for the Manhattan Engineer District (MED) in the 1940s. The Colonie site was assigned to DOE by the US Congress as part of a decontamination research and development project under the 1984 Energy and Water Appropriations Act. DOE is proposing to conduct remedial action planning and remedial action activities at these sites following an integrated approach to comply with the requirements of both the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 5 figs.
