Separate LOOW info sessions

Lewiston Porter Sentinel, May 3, 2008

News continues – albeit on separate fronts – regarding upcoming public information sessions covering studies and activities at the Lake Ontario Ordnance Works site in Lewiston and Porter.

The Outreach Committee of the LOOW Restoration Advisory Board, an existing citizens stakeholder group that addresses LOOW concerns, announced this week that power point presentations covering both the LOOW site and the Niagara Falls Storage Site will be held, Monday, May 5, to the Lewiston Village Trustees, 6 p.m. at the Red Brick Hall in Lewiston, and to the Porter Town Board, Monday, May 12, at Porter Town Hall, beginning at 6 p.m. Both sessions are open to the public.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has opted recently to branch off from its association with the Lewiston RAB group, announced recently it will be holding a separate information session on its Remediation Investigation Report covering the NFFS (Sentinel, Dec. 22, 2007). That session will take place Wednesday, May 7, at the Town of Lewiston Senior Center, 4361 Lower River Road, beginning at 6:30 p.m. and continuing to 9 p.m.

It is likewise open to the public. For further information, contact the Corps Buffalo office at 879-4438.
