Additional Property Attributes

The �subject property� for purposes of the Phase I ESA is the approximately 4.6 acres of land immediately surrounding the Bridgton Memorial School. The subject property is currently part of a larger 20.68 acre parcel, which is to be subdivided. The subject property contains a �T� shaped, 16,000-square foot school building that was originally constructed in 1949. An addition was added around 1957. A small brook named Stevens Brook borders the property to the west and north. A residential property and former grandstand borders the property to the east. The northern half of the subject property is in the Shoreland Zone. The property obtains its potable water from the Bridgton Water Department. Wastewater is discharged to a private on-site septic tank and leach field. Central Maine Power CMP provides electricity to the site. The majority of the building is not currently heated however, two boilers are located in the boiler room, which run off of No. 2 heating oil. An out-of-service underground storage tank UST is located directly outside the boiler room that previously supplied fuel oil to the furnace.

Former Use: Based on the above information as well as additional historic information provided by the town of Bridgton, the subject property was originally developed in 1882 as the Bridgton & Saco River Railroad rail yard and maintenance facility. The Bridgton & Saco River Railroad Company owned and operated the site from 1882 until about 1933. As part of these operations, the site contained a rail storage facility, engine house, machine shop, paint shop, gasoline and kerosene storage facilities, and a passenger and freight depot. Petroleum products gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, and heavy oils as well as hazardous materials chlorinated solvents and metals were likely used at the rail yard. A grist mill was located on the northern portion of the subject property until the 1960s. In the late 1920s, the profitability of the railroad started to decline and the railroad went out of business in 1933. At that point, the Bridgton & Harrison Railroad Company was chartered in 1933 and acquired the site. The Town of Bridgton tried to help keep the railroad viable and invested money, becoming the majority shareholder of the company five sevenths ownership. However, the railroad company went out of business by 1941. The railroad equipment was sold off at that time, but not the land. The Town acquired the site after bankruptcy of the Bridgton & Harrison Railroad Company. In 1949, the onsite railroad buildings were removed and the site was converted to a high school. In 1968, the ownership of the property was transferred to Maine School Administrative District MSAD 61. It was later converted to a junior high school in 1972 and various other education uses elementary, adult education, etc. from 1982 until 2009. The school has been vacant since August 2009.
