Copyright© 2022 Esri and its licensors. All rights reserved. Sources: Esri and EPA. © SETTING: The site is in a commercial and industrial area. It is zoned for light manufacturing and commercial uses. The site has multiple private owners. Site surroundings include a New York State Thruway ramp and toll plaza as well as the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport. A small lake on site is used for fishing. EPA's Superfund Redevelopment Program (SRP) provided technical assistance to conduct a reuse assessment at the site in 2013. SRP updated the site's reuse assessment in 2021. Updates include the town of Cheektowaga's future use vision for the site, including solar reuse on capped areas and transportation uses along roadways. Within a 1-mile radius of the site, 37% of the population is unemployed. Surrounding population: 1 mile, 2,539 people; 3 miles, 59,533 people; 5 miles, 174,364 people CLEANUP STATUS: Landfilling operations resulted in soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater contamination at the site. EPA added the site to the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL) in 1994. After cleanup, EPA removed the site from the NPL in 2008. Cleanup activities included removing on-site drums, constructing a cap and containment system, and a leachate collection and treatment system. EPA's cleanup plan anticipated reuse by building landfill areas with a large setback from the road with space to accommodate new buildings and infrastructure. Cleanup was completed in 2002. Operation and maintenance activities are ongoing. EPA conducts Five-Year Reviews at the site to ensure the site is protective of human health and the environment.
