U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District team members inspect the Times Beach Nature Preserve and former Times Beach confined disposal facility, Buffalo, NY, September 4, 2020. In the 1970s, the Buffalo District constructed and placed dredged material into the CDF from the Buffalo Harbor. Over time, the structure has received wind and wave damage, and the primary risk from damage is contaminated sediments inside the structure releasing into Lake Erie. If the team determines there is a design deficiency at the CDF, the District will pursue funding for future repair work.
