Millions of dollars in funding from Congress will ensure the clean up of 
the former Linde facilities continues without a break.

Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-Fairport, Chairwoman of the House Rules 
Committee, announced Tuesday that the House of Representatives passed 
the Omnibus appropriations bill Monday night, which included $140 
million for the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program 
(FUSRAP). The funding will provide the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with 
the resources necessary to continue the cleanup efforts for the former 
Linde site in the town, now owned by Praxair.

"This funding is a significant step forward in our fight to clean up the 
former Linde site," Slaughter said. "I am very pleased that critical 
resources have been secured to move ahead with the project. By passing 
this legislation, Congress is working to meet its obligation to the 
residents of Tonawanda and the surrounding area."
