VIDEO: Watch the demolition of MRS Plating

By April Amadon

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal

The sign was the first thing to go.

As officials from the Environmental Protection Agency looked on, a bulldozer began to demolish the MRS Plating building on Park Avenue on Wednesday morning, starting by plucking the business sign off the front of the brick structure and dumping it on the ground.







The building was dismantled as part of the EPA’s effort to clean up the site, which was contaminated by laboratory chemicals including cadmium, chromium and corrosive liquids.

The business owner, 46-year-old Ronald Jagielo of Lockport, pleaded guilty in August to criminally disposing of hazardous wastes at the site between January 2004 and November 2006.

It was the second time since 2006 that Jagielo was convicted of violating criminal environmental laws, and the third time since 1996 that MRS Plating Inc., a family-owned corporation, was convicted of similar charges.

Now that MRS Plating Inc. is defunct, the EPA hopes the site can be cleaned up and restored for future use.
