BROWN ROAD N OF AIRPORT

The St. Louis Airport/Hazelwood Interim Storage/Futura Coatings Co. site is comprised of numerous properties located in two distinct areas. The St. Louis Downtown Site (SLDS) is located at the Mallinckrodt Chemical Plant in downtown St. Louis, and the North County sites are located near the Lambert International Airport. The North County sites include the St. Louis Airport Site (SLAPS), the Hazelwood Interim Storage Site (HISS), and various vicinity properties. Uranium ores were processed at the downtown site from 1942 to 1957 under contracts to the Manhattan Engineering District (MED) and later the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). The transfer of process residues from downtown to sites near the Airport resulted in the contamination of numerous private and municipally owned properties. The St. Louis radioactively-contaminated sites are part of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) established by Congress in 1974 for the AEC to address the cleanup of formerly used properties contaminated as a result of historic nuclear weapons production. The U.S. Department of Energy, successor to the AEC, managed the FUSRAP until October 1997 when responsibility for the cleanup was transferred to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
