Nearby: Niagara Falls, NYDEC to inspect Niagara Falls Goodyear plant as full closure nears, date unknown
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email After 80 years in Niagara Falls, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company’s plant has ceased production and has begun the process of decommissioning. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Region 9 Acting Director Chad Staniszewski told BTPM News earlier this week the agency is in conversation with the factory to ensure shutdown and removal of waste is done properly. He said this process is expected to take a few months. "Our understanding is that Goodyear continues to actively work towards facility shutdown; that they would like to do that in an appropriate manner in the shortest time that they can," Staniszewski said. "And I think they were looking at the first quarter of 2027 to really have a lot of that work done, but we'll see if that's actually the schedule that ends up happening." A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN notice, posted Oct. 26 states work will end for 51 of the plant's 56 employees on Dec. 30, 2026.

Nearby: Niagara Falls, NYI grew up in the shadow of toxic waste that shocked the nation. The danger never went away.
Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by AI). Fifty years ago, the Love Canal disaster put the issue of toxic waste on the map. The tragedy galvanized a national movement and spurred Congress to pass “Superfund” legislation, which — at least in theory — requires polluters to clean up their toxic messes. Despite that progress, the problem never really went away. Here in Niagara Falls, New York, long-buried toxins are resurfacing. But so is the movement to rid our communities of these poisons forever. A new generation of activists, armed with cellphones and radiation detectors, is discovering the shocking extent of industrial pollution in this once-magnificent city. And they are demanding action. Love Canal was a half-mile-long canal into which the Hooker Chemical Corporation dumped leftover hazardous chemical compounds. Hooker covered the waste with dirt and then — incredibly —s old the land to the local school board for $1.
