The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported that Phase I balance of plant remediation is largely complete at the Niagara Falls Storage Site in Niagara County. Over 1,600 truckloads of soil, totaling more than 26,000 cubic yards, were excavated and shipped offsite, covering 101 of 102 targeted areas. The waste included technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
