Feds Settle Nuclear Waste Cleanup Suit

The United States government has settled in a suit brought forward by New York State over the allocation of costs for cleaning up an abandoned nuclear waste processing facility near Buffalo. A consent decree filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York stated that the federal government has agreed to pay ninety percent of the cleanup costs at the main processing plant.The state will pay ten percent.

The cost for cleaning up a landfill on the site will be split evenly between the state and federal government. “In the agreement issued today, specific allocations vary by the facility, with the federal government continuing to pay 90 percent of the costs for many of the cleanup activities,” New York Gov. David Paterson said in a statement.
