News Release FORMERLY UTILIZED SITES REMEDIAL ACTION PROGRAM Release #00-61 October 5, 2000 CORPS ASSIGNED POTENTIAL SITE BUFFALO - The Buffalo District of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has been assigned the Former Guterl Specialty Steel Corporation (Simonds Saw and Steel Company) in Lockport, N.Y., as a site eligible for potential inclusion in the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP). FUSRAP was initiated in 1974 to identify, investigate, and clean up or control sites throughout the United States that were part of the Nation's early atomic energy program. Under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Energy, once a site is identified for potential inclusion, responsibility for action is then transferred to the Corps. A letter received by the Corps from the Department of Energy states that the former Manhattan Engineer District and the former Atomic Energy Commission used the Former Guterl Specialty Steel Site for atomic energy defense activities from 1948 to 1956. The facilities were used for foundry work on uranium and thorium metal. Congressman John LaFalce said: "Based on my previous conversations about the former Guterl Steel site with Lt. Col. Glen DeWillie and his staff at the Buffalo District Corps of Engineers, especially at the meeting in my Buffalo office three weeks ago, as well as their ongoing work at nearby sites in Tonawanda and Lewiston, I am pleased that the Buffalo District Corps of Engineers has been assigned jurisdiction over the Guterl site. I look forward to working closely with the Buffalo District to ensure that immediate action is taken to assess the site, and, if warranted, include the site in the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program for prompt and thorough remediation."

Public Affairs News History Biographies What We Do - Military Programs ... Local Links The history of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began in June 1775 when the Continental Congress appointed a chief engineer and two assistants to the Continental Army, the day before the battle of Bunker Hill. The appointee, Colonel Richard Gridley, thus became the first Chief Engineer of the Army. His mission, as it was for all military engineers, was to facilitate the advance of friendly troops and impede that of the enemy. Throughout the war for independence, the engineers directed the construction of fortifications, emplacements, and barricades. At the close of the war, the engineer organization was dissolved, but only for a few years. In 1793 it was recreated to construct coastal defenses for the new nation. In 1802, a demand for public improvements and because many of the country's leaders envisioned a trained organization to perform both military and civil engineering tasks, Congress assigned to the Corps the mission of establishing a military academy at West Point, New York, to train in military and technical sciences. Increasingly during the early 19th century Congress and presidents assigned to engineer officers such duties as surveying, mapping, locating routes for and superintending the building of roads and canals, and building coastal defensive works. Thus it was early in the history of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that the dual role it has today, military and civil works, was established. This dual role is totally unique to the Corps of Engineers, as it is the only organization within the Department of Defense performing such a dual function.

A publication for the North Atlantic Division OCTOBER Corps supports WTC, Pentagon recoveries On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four passenger jets, crashed two of them into the twin towers of New York City’s World Trade Center [WTC] and a third into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed in the Pennsylvania Countryside, killing all on board. Both Trade Center towers collapsed, and part of the Pentagon was destroyed. More than 250 people on the airplanes, and thousands more on the ground, were killed. All of NYC was thrown into chaos. Power and communications were lost, all bridges and tunnels were closed, and lower Manhattan traffic became a nightmare. The Corps of Engineers NY District became a victim District when the building it’s located in lost power and communications. It relocated in the days following the attack and operated out of several locations, including its Caven Point facility in Jersey City, NJ and at Ft. Hamilton in Brooklyn, NY. The Corps immediately sprang into action under Emergency Support Function 3 (Public Works and Engineering). Seven Corps vessels helped evacuate 2,000 people from Manhattan. Many were covered with concrete dust and were visibly shaken. Corps boats also carried more than 200 firefighters and emergency personnel from New Jersey to Lower Manhattan, and refueled New York City fireboats with 3,300 gallons of fuel, much of it transferred by hand in buckets. The Corps established a Disaster Field Office at Pier 90 in Manhattan, headed by COL Brian Osterndorf, New England District Commander. FEMA assigned the Corps missions to assist New York City with emergency power, technical assistance, debris-removal assessment, and structural safety assessment.

Water supply Civil Works Office and Mission Directorate of Civil Works Tri Service Solicitation Network Army involvement in works "of a civil nature" goes back almost to the origins of the U.S. Over the years, as the Nation's needs have changed, so have the Army's Civil Works missions. Those missions today fall in four broad areas: water infrastructure, environmental management and restoration, response to natural and manmade disasters, and engineering and technical services to the Army, DoD and other Federal agencies. At Corps of Engineers Headquarters in Washington, DC, the Directorate of Civil Works oversees the program. Civil Works projects are located throughout the United States. Funds for the Civil Works program come from the annual Energy and Water Development Appropriation, not the Defense budget. Add to that the cost-sharing funds supplied directly by non-Federal sponsors for specific projects and the total civil program is about $5 billion a year. Navigation Navigation Data Center Navigation Information Connection Navigation Education and Outreach Supporting navigation by maintaining and improving channels was the Corps of Engineers' earliest Civil Works mission, dating to Federal laws in 1824 authorizing the Corps to improve safety on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and several ports. Maintaining channels means keeping them at specified depths and widths by dredging and other means. Maintaining also means removing impediments, like logjams. Improving means making them deeper or wider.

Trinity Project Trinity by (official U.S. Government Report) Terms Contents Preface CHAPTER 1 ... REFERENCE LIST CHAPTER 1 Introduction roject TRINITY was the name given to the war-time effort to produce the first nuclear detonation. A plutonium-fueled implosion device was detonated on 16 July 1945 at the Alamogordo Bombing Range in south-central New Mexico. Three weeks later, on 6 August, the first uranium-fueled nuclear bomb, a gun-type weapon code-named LITTLE BOY, was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. On 9 August, the FAT MAN nuclear bomb, a plutonium-fueled implosion weapon identical to the TRINITY device, was detonated over another Japanese city, Nagasaki. Two days later, the Japanese Government informed the United States of its decision to end the war. On 2 September 1945, the Japanese Empire officially surrendered to the Allied Governments, bringing World War II to an end. 1.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF PROJECT TRINITY The development of a nuclear weapon was a low priority for the United States before the outbreak of World War II. However, scientists exiled from Germany had expressed concern that the Germans were developing a nuclear weapon. Confirming these fears, in 1939 the Germans stopped all sales of uranium ore from the mines of occupied Czechoslovakia. In a letter sponsored by group of concerned scientists, Albert Einstein informed President Roosevelt that German experiments had shown that an induced nuclear chain reaction was possible and could be used to construct extremely powerful bombs (7; 12)*.

An old technical area, above. An early Los Alamos housing area below. Note the lack of paved roads. New Laboratory Forged "The Army Way" Although the Los Alamos Ranch School in New Mexico provided some housing and office facilities, the new Los Alamos Laboratory required a whole new set of technical buildings as well as barracks, family housing and office space. And although Manhattan Engineer District commander Gen. Leslie Groves found the site ideal from the security point of view and the scientific director, J. Robert Oppenheimer of the University of California, Berkeley, found it idyllic as a retreat for scientists, those who had to build the Laboratory had great difficulty. Located several thousand feet above the Rio Grande valley, far from sources of labor and construction materials, 40 miles from the nearest railroad, accessible only by totally inadequate roads, with insufficient water, no natural gas and a limited electrical supply, Los Alamos presented a real challenge to those who had to make the soldiers' and scientists' plans a reality. The MED's site report, written in November 1942, predicted most of the problems. It was ignored, in the interests of time. Less than a week after it was written, Groves ordered the construction of barracks, a mess hall, officers' quarters, laboratory administration and technical buildings, a theater, an infirmary, apartments, utilities, streets and fencing. Some $26 million was spent on construction in Los Alamos during the war, approximately $200 million in today's dollars. Without a doubt, it would have been cheaper to build in almost any other location.

CITATION KENNETH DAVID NICHOLS As a distinguished Army engineer whose brilliant leadership, outstanding knowledge, sound judgment, and daring imagination in the new and uncharted field of atomic energy and atomic weapons made possible the preeminence of the United States during the early years of the Cold War; as a widely respected expert in the field of hydraulic engineering; and as an internationally recognized authority on the peaceful uses of atomic energy, Kenneth David Nichols has served his country with distinction in a wide variety of endeavors during a career spanning seven decades. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1907, General Nichols graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1929. He was commissioned in the Corps of Engineers, and reported to Fort Humphreys (now Fort Belvoir) Virginia as a second lieutenant in September 1929. Lieutenant Nichols was immediately assigned to the Army Engineer battalion in Nicaragua for survey work on the proposed Nicaraguan Interoceanic Canal. For his efforts during and after the Managua earthquake in March 1931, he was awarded the Nicaraguan Medal of Merit. From 1931 until 1933, General (then Lieutenant) Nichols attended Cornell University where he received the degree of Civil Engineer and a Master's degree in Civil Engineering. From 1933 until the summer of 1934 he was Assistant Director of the Waterways Experiment Station at Vicksburg, Mississippi. A year later, the War Department sent General Nichols to the Technische Hochschule in Berlin, Germany under a fellowship from the Institute of International Education for the purpose of studying European hydraulic research.

Argonne at 50 Nuclear energy: the civilians take charge ARGONNE, Ill. (Jan. 1, 1996) Argonne National Laboratory celebrates its 50th anniversary in 1996, but it was actually a key presidential decision 49 New Years Eves ago that shaped the future of Argonne and the entire national laboratory system. Before he left the Oval Office to celebrate New Year's Eve on Dec. 31, 1946, President Harry S Truman signed an executive order that transferred the wartime Manhattan Engineering District, the project that developed the atomic bomb, from military to civilian control, effective that midnight. The president's signature opened the path to today's system of government-sponsored research and development a system that has produced advances in virtually every area of science and technology over the last five decades. These advances have in turn led to countless industrial and commercial benefits that have touched the lives of every American. The Manhattan District was established during World War II as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to "carry on special work assigned to it." That meant military-related research, including the first controlled and sustained nuclear chain reaction that led to the atomic bomb. Led by Gen. Leslie Groves, the Manhattan Engineering District brought together many of the finest scientific minds of North America and Western Europe. Many young American scientists and engineers worked for and studied under these nuclear pioneers.
