U.S. Army, USEPA, and NYSDEC Invite Public Comments
on the Proposed Plan for the Open Detonation (OD) Grounds Munitions Response Site
at the Former Seneca Army Depot Romulus, NY
The public is invited to attend an in-person meeting on 9 October 2024 about the planned remedial action alternatives at the Former Seneca Army Depot OD Grounds Munitions Response Site (MRS), located in the Towns of Romulus and Varick, Seneca County, New York. The OD Grounds MRS consists of approximately 403 acres in the northwest corner of the Former Seneca Army Depot boundary and contains two areas, the “OD Hill”, an area of elevated topography at the center of the OD Grounds MRS where open detonation operations occurred and the “Kickout Area” which is the portion of the MRS surrounding the OD Hill in which blast fragments emanating from open detonation operations might be found. The Kickout Area extends out approximately 2,500 feet (ft) from the center of the OD Grounds MRS.
