Governor David A. Paterson today announced that New York State and the 
federal government have reached an agreement resolving financial 
responsibility for the cleanup of radioactive waste at the Western New 
York Nuclear Service Center, also known as West Valley Site, in 
Cattaraugus County.

The resolution ends a decade-long dispute over the allocation of cleanup 
costs between the state and federal governments.

"This resolution is a significant milestone in our ongoing work to 
decontaminate the West Valley Site and ensure the area's long-term 
environmental health and safety," Governor Paterson said. "With this 
agreement, our state and federal governments may proceed with a clear 
understanding of their roles and responsibilities."
