Background—The New York, New York, Site, in Manhattan, was remediated under the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). FUSRAP was established in 1974 to remediate sites where radioactive contamination remained from Manhattan Project and early U.S. Atomic Energy Commission operations.

History—The New York Site was used by the Manhattan Engineer District in the early 1940s for the short-term storage of uranium concentrates that were later distributed to government facilities involved in nuclear reactor and atomic weapons programs.

In 1990, DOE designated the site for remediation under FUSRAP. DOE remediated contaminated areas in the warehouses and certified that the site complied with applicable cleanup criteria and standards in 1995. The property was released for unrestricted use.

Final Conditions—No supplemental limits or institutional controls are in effect at the privately owned site, and DOE does not require on-site monitoring or surveillance. Office of Legacy Management activities consist of managing site records and responding to stakeholder inquiries.
