WEST VALLEY, N.Y. - Workers at the EM West Valley Demonstration Project began demolishing a former utility building this month. The 6,955-square-foot building is an ancillary structure to the Main Plant Process Building, the last remaining major facility at the West Valley site. Five other ancillary structures associated with the Main Plant Process Building have been safely torn down, bringing EM’s total number of structures removed at the site to 67. Demolition of the Main Plant Process Building is among EM’s. “The start of this work will change the landscape and footprint of the WVDP site, and is a reminder of the ongoing progress here," EM WVDP Director Bryan Bower said.
