Linde Air Products (FUSRAP Site)
The Linde Air Products Site is located in the Town of Tonawanda, New York,
approximately five kilometers (three miles) northwest of Buffalo. The site was
used for uranium processing for the Manhattan Engineer District and the Atomic
Energy Commission (AEC), predecessor agencies for the US Department of Energy.
Waste generated from the uranium processing was stored at the Ashland #1 site,
Ashland #2 site and the Seaway Landfill. Radioactive contaminates were found to
include uranium, radium and thorium. The site was part of the Formerly Utilized
Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). The FUSRAP Program was transferred to
the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 1997, in accordance with
the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act for FY 1998. Cleanup
responsibilities transferred at that time from DOE-EM to the USACE.
