Property Highlights

The Site was first developed in 1927 as part of Godfrey Field, a civilian airport, until it became part of the Dow Army Airfield in 1942, and the Dow Air Force Base in 1947. Based on a previous Phase I ESA, the vicinity of the Site was originally in an area of several runways and/or helicopter pads or hangars until the current Site building was constructed in 1957. According to plans for the Site, an addition was added to the Site building in approximately 1961. Light developed subsequently occurred in the vicinity of the Site; however, conditions in the area appear generally unchanged from 1973 through the present. Based on the previous Phase I ESA and Maine Department of Environmental Protection records for the Site and vicinity, there are numerous potential sources of contaminants that may have impacted environmental media at the Site. Former Use: The Site is a 2.8-acre parcel located on the corner of Polk Street and Nevada Avenue to the east of BIA?s runway. The Site contains a one story slab on grade building that was constructed in approximately 1957 and an addition was added to the northwest side of the building in approximately 1961. Due to a leaking roof and lack of maintenance throughout the building, the building is in severe disrepair and has experienced considerable water damage. According to plans obtained from the City of Bangor Planning Department, the original portion of the Site building contained squadron operations and target intelligence office space associated with the Dow Air Force Base. The new addition on the northwest side of the building in 1961 contained a trainer room and simulator room. According to the 1982 Site plans, the addition was used as a Non Destructive Inspection (NDI) Laboratory. The addition contained a garage bay, lead-lined X-ray room, and small X-ray processing rooms. The original portion of the building was occupied by administrative office space. The building was given to the City of Bangor ion 1995 and was abandoned in 1996 and has remained vacant since that time.
