Property Highlights

In northwestern Vermont, the severe housing shortage has become a limiting factor on economic growth. As a result, our brownfield efforts are focusing on creation and maintenance of housing opportunities. The prospective developer of this property intends to develop it into housing in conjunction with the Leader Evaporator property if the property can be cleared of suspected contamination or if any actual contamination can be cleaned up to acceptable standards. The property borders the Vermont Designated Downtown area of St. Alban's City, and property redevelopment will support the downtown economy. (PPF- Lewis Auto Body, 1/15/05) Former Use: The property has been operated as an auto repair and body shop for ~41 years; 21 of these by the current owner. The property has been leased to another party for the past three years. This property was cleaned up and redeveloped for housing along with the abutting Leader Evaporator site. Following the assessments funded by Leader Evaporator and the NRPC?s EPA Brownfields grants, a cleanup effort began, funded by a Community Development Block Grant awarded to the City of St. Albans. The assessments demonstrated that the contamination issues predated Leader Evaporator, and that the soil and groundwater had indeed been compromised by the site?s above-ground oil storage tanks. The site?s buildings, meanwhile, were found to have asbestos and lead paint contamination. The property?s soils were contaminated with lead, PAHs, and petroleum products, which were excavated and capped; the lead-based paint and asbestos were removed; and petroleum contaminants in groundwater were naturally attenuated to safe levels. The site?s heating oil concrete vault was drained, cleaned, and sealed, and mold was removed from tainted locations within the main building. Following cleanup, construction began in December 2006. The fully leased, 27-unit, Willard Apartment complex, equipped with energy efficient features and exposed the historic original beams, opened to its residents in February 2008.
