On October 31, 2021 this site ceased to exist as it has since its inception.

In the past this site provided the latest news and information on the FMC arsenic cleanup in the village of Middleport, NY and surrounding area for affected and interested residents.

However due to the age of its software, it was no longer supported by the server it ran on as of January, 2022

It would have cost several thousands of dollars to rewrite the site's software so it could continue but after looking at the usage and locations of the visitors to the site, it was questionable as to whether it was serving the purpose for which it was intended.

Therefore on October 31, 2021, the site had its current content of news, documents and comments moved to another server and became a read only site, available beginning November 13,2021. There will be no future content added.

The site served a useful purpose for 10 years but most decisions concerning remediation have been made and in many cases completed. There was few visitors to the site with most outside New York state and many outside the US. Also one of the most popular areas of the site visited was the member list which could have been a potential security risk to those in that list. There was no way to modify this old software to improve security so the decision to close the site as an active site was made.
