In 2003 the US EPA Great Lakes National
Program Office selected FBNR to manage the implementation of the
Buffalo River Remedial Action Plan (RAP). The contract marks the
first time anywhere in the Great Lakes basin that a non-governmental
organization has been given the mandate and authority to coordinate
a RAP. EPA hopes this move will help make significant progress
towards de-listing, including sediment remediation, non-point source
pollution abatement, and habitat restoration.
In
addition to the coordination of the Buffalo River RAP, FBNR is
engaged in a variety of Buffalo River Watershed initiatives related
to sediment remediation, public access, habitat restoration and open
space protection, non-point source pollution and environmental
education.

River Report Card - 4M - PDF
The Buffalo River
Area of Concern Report Card was created by the Buffalo River
Remedial Advisory Committee (RAC). The purpose of this Report Card
is to give a brief overview of the health, improvements and
current conditions of the Buffalo River Watershed over the last 15
years. The Buffalo River Watershed includes three tributaries –
Cayuga Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Cazenovia Creek.

Buffalo
River Sediment Remediation
Through the “Buffalo River Partnership” FBNR is working with
numerous partners to develop
a scope of study and funding to develop a remediation strategy for
contaminated sediments in the Buffalo River Area of Concern (AOC).
Negotiations are currently underway between FBNR and the US
Army Corps of Engineers for a Feasibility Study of sediment
remediation alternatives. In
addition FBNR is currently seeking funding through the US
Environmental Protection Agency’s Great Lakes National Program
Office for the remediation of a section of the River known as the
“Blue Tower Turning Basin”.
