Institutional and Engineering Controls

No
It appears the Site does not require further environmental investigation at this time,
based on its history and proposed future use as undeveloped conservation land. In the event
of Site development that includes water well installation, further
investigation of potential impacts to groundwater from off-site leachate migration from the
nearby landfill, and launching of fireworks at the southeast corner of the Site is recommended. If not already
implemented, town fireworks activities should follow Best Management Practices (BMPs),
such as timely removal and proper disposal of shell casings and other debris following
fireworks displays.

Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: The Site includes approximately 107 acres of largely undeveloped land in a rural,mixed commercial- and residential-use area. The Site is bounded by the Middle River to the east, the Sunrise Trail (former Calais Branch rail corridor) to the south, Route 192 to the west, and farmland and marshland to the north. The Site consists of three abutting parcels that have historically been undeveloped or utilized as agricultural land (e.g., pasture, hay production) since at least the late 1800s (Fig. 2). Presently, the land is largely undeveloped with All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and walking trails crossing portions of the Site, which consists of open fields, forested areas, and marshland. No buildings or evidence of former buildings were observed on the Site during the GEI site visit, though property records indicate that several small buildings (e.g., farm or camp buildings) may have been historically located on the Site. The majority of the Site has been owned by Meadowview Heights, Inc. since 1989, and was previously operated by the St. Regis Paper Company as a company farm. For the past several years, the Town of Machias has launched fireworks from the southeast corner of the Site. Land use adjacent to the Site includes the former Machias Municipal Landfill and a Bangor Hydroelectric (BHE) service center to the northwest and west (east of Route 192). The Machias Wastewater Treatment Plant abuts the Site to the southeast. GEI reviewed pertinent Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) records for the landfill and BHE facility regarding past releases and site investigations. The records indicate the possibility of contaminated groundwater at the landfill, and possible migration of impacted groundwater toward the Site.
