USACE Releases FY 17 Details For FUSRAP Sites

By ExchangeMonitor
The Army Corps of Engineers request for $103 million for its formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) in fiscal 2017 includes significant year-to-year funding differences for numerous sites.

FUSRAP was initiated in 1974 to identify, investigate, and clean up or control sites contaminated from the nation’s early atomic weapons and energy programs during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. The program includes 20 sites. The total funding level would be $9 million less than appropriated for teh current budget year, which ends on Sept. 30.

For its St. Louis Airport Site and vicinity properties remediation effort, which includes numerous sites in Hazelwood and Berkeley, Mo., the Corps is requesting $6 million; current funding is about $17 million. At its DuPont Chambers Works & Co. in New Jersey, a site containing contaminated material from World War II-era uranium activity, the Corps is requesting $13 million; current funding is $3.1 million.

The Corps is requesting the largest amount, $34 million, for cleanup of Maywood, a New Jersey site containing material from operations at the former Maywood Chemical Works from 1916 to1959. That request represents a $10 million decrease from current funding levels.
