Disposal Sites Cleanup
Decades ago Cornell buried chemical lab waste and low-level radiation research materials at two isolated sites north of the Tompkins County airport. That was how such material was handled in accordance with regulations at the time. The university has worked with state and outside experts since 1984 to investigate and assess risks associated with the site, to inform the public, and to take remedial action.
