FMC MIDDLEPORT FACILITY
Off-Site Air Deposition Area Cleanup

Community Update,
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
April 2020

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) in consultation with the New York State Department of Health (DOH) will continue the cleanup of properties in neighborhoods adjacent to the FMC Facility (Site No. 932014), located at 100 Niagara Street in Middleport, Niagara County, this month. Based on the May 2013 Final Statement of Basis, the cleanup includes removal of contaminated soil from residential and commercial parcels located near the facility (see Figure 1 on page 3). This will be the sixth year of a multi-year cleanup effort to ensure the ongoing protection of public health and the environment.

Beginning in April, soil removal and restoration activities will resume in areas impacted by air deposition of arsenic from historic discharges by FMC. Cleanup construction activities are expected to continue into December 2020, weather permitting.

DEC is currently meeting with owners of properties identified for cleanup to review and discuss their soil data, the proposed plan and restoration activities, and to confirm their consent for property access to allow the cleanup to take place.
