Background—The Toledo, Ohio, Site 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—During the early and mid-1940s, Baker Brothers, Inc., fabricated slugs from natural uranium metal for the Manhattan Engineer District.
In 1992, DOE designated the Toledo Site and its associated vicinity property for remediation under FUSRAP. DOE remediated localized areas of residual uranium contamination on interior building surfaces and exterior soil and concrete in 1995. DOE certified that the site and the vicinity property complied with applicable cleanup criteria and standards in 2001 and released the properties 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.
