Tonawanda Coke Remediation

Progress continues on the clean up at Tonawanda Coke. Click here to read some of the recent updates, or read this recent coverage by The Buffalo News.

Interested in joining our team focused on a just clean up of Tonawanda Coke and all River Road sites, or in joining our team focused on just transition redevelopments throughout Tonawanda? Please connect with Bridge today!



Of note, the DEC is accepting comments on the proposed clean up plan for 3821 River Road, the parcel where Tonawanda Coke’s offices were, through this Friday March 3.

This site was originally developed by Allied Fibers and Plastics Company in the early 1950s and was operated as a manufacturing facility through 1982. Site operations by Allied included the polymerization of ethylene into low molecular weight polyethylene (trademark: A-C Polyethylene and Copolymers), which was finished into powder, pelleted and solid forms. It was then used as office and laboratory space, vehicle maintenance, and warehousing by the Tonawanda Coke Corporation (TCC) from the early 1980s up until the shutdown of TCC operations in October 2018.

Click here to read the announcement o click here to see the technical documents. Comments can be sent to Benjamin McPherson, NYS DEC Region 9 Office, Division of Environmental Remediation, 700 Delaware Avenue, Búfalo, Nueva York, 14209, or by phone: (716) 851-7220, or by email, benjamin.mcpherson@dec.ny.gov. Comments are due this Friday March 3.



Just Transition in the Green Transition

Although we are not involved with the current unionization effort at the Buffalo TESLA facility, Clean Air stands in solidarity with the workers currently fighting for a union, and will share any information we hear of on actions the community can take in solidarity.


Without worker rights at the forefront, green jobs are not part of a Just Transition, and the unjust firing of these workers and the reports of continuing discriminatory practices at TESLA are just more examples of why we must fight for unionization of the green economy workforce during the pivot from a fossil fuel based economy to a renewable one.

On the same note, while we support the Build Public Renewables Act under the framework environmental and labor groups initially agreed to, we are appalled to hear about Governor Hochul’s proposed version, which weakens labor language. We must work in coalition with labor and not allow the fossil fuel industry to pit residents against workers in our collective fight for Environmental Justice.



Norfolk Southern Derailment in East Palestine

We fielded several inquiries this month from WNY residents concerned about the Norfolk



Southern derailment in East Palestine, OH and it’s potential impact on WNY air and water quality.

While the risk of any contamination traveling from the Ohio River Valley to Buffalo is *extremely* low, we feel there are many takeaways that WNY residents can draw from this incident that we shared in this


blog post, including that we should feel compelled to support our fellow rust belt siblings in East Palestine and the surrounding area who are directly impacted. You can support the residents of East Palestine with these Mutual Aid pools



Action Alert


Regulaciones propuestas sobre el tamaño de PM2.5

La EPA propone partículas más fuertes regulaciones – COMENTARIOS DEBIDO EN MARZO 28!


Esta es una gran noticia – la última revisión fue en 2012, y las nuevas regulaciones tal como están redactadas actualmente fortalecer el estándar PM2.5 desde un nivel de 12 microgramos por metro cúbico hasta un nivel entre 9 y 10 microgramos por metro cúbico.

Sin embargo, mientras que la nueva normativa estaría un paso por encima de las normas actuales, esto todavía no cumpliría las recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, e incluso el propio Comité Asesor Científico de Aire Limpio de la EPA.

Tome medidas hoy para decirle a la EPA que necesitamos que vayan más allá con la nueva regulación propuesta. – haga clic aquí para enviar una carta utilizando el kit de herramientas del Mom's Clean Air Taskforce, o haga clic aquí para enviar un comentario directamente. The EPA is accepting comments through March 28, 2023.
