Institutional and Engineering Controls

Yes
Proprietary Controls
A restrictive covenant (RC) which established that the construction or use of wells or other devices to extract groundwater for consumption, irrigation, or any other purpose is prohibited, short-term dewatering for construction purposes is permitted provided it is conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and does not result in a new release, exacerbation of existing contamination, or any other violation of local, state, or federal laws. The RC requires new assessment of the vapor intrusion pathway and/or implementation of engineering controls in the event that new structures are constructed, prohibits all activities on the subject proper that may interfere with any element of the response activities and requires proper management of all soils, media, and/or debris located on the subject property in accordance with local, state, and federal laws.
Yes
Yes
Cover Technologies (e.g., Capping) Other SSD system is in place
Surface cover will be utilized to prevent direct contact to soils in areas where soil impacts were identified above applicable Part 201 Residential DC cleanup criteria and/or areas with PNA/SVOC concentrations indicative of the presence of residual NAPL. Volatilization to indoor air inhalation mitigation systems in the form of active venting systems have been installed in each of the buildings located on the subject property (Buildings 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and Community Building) to address the volatilization to indoor air inhalation pathway. In some locations the vapor mitigation system may be considered presumptive in nature, but were installed throughout the subject property due to the identified exceedances in groundwater and/or soil gas of the Residential VIAP Screening Levels and the presence of concentrations of PNAs/SVOCs in soils at concentrations representative of the presence of residual NAPL. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) inspection events have been conducted to document the effectiveness of the systems and to ensure their continued operation.

Additional Property Attributes

The 200 existing 1-4 bedroom townhomes of Wade H. McCree Plaza and Voisine Terrace have suffered with decline and deterioration over the years and Ecorse Housing Commission, along with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), has determined that these units are functionally obsolete and the best possible solution is to demolish and redevelop the community. All 200 of these units have been approved for HUD�s Rental Assistance Demonstration program (RAD) with an amendment forthcoming by HUD, whereby all 200 units will benefit from Project Based Section 8 rental subsidies for 20 years. The mix of housing densities are varied and strategically positioned to help a neighborhood center that both employ a transition between the commercial use on the exterior of the community and the lower densities among the neighborhood cores. The site is planned to compliment the adjacent residential neighborhoods, and create a new and attractive community for families. All of the existing units at Wade H. McCree Estates are expected to be demolished with 200 newly constructed units built on the existing site. Extensive asbestos abatement and environmental mitigation activities will be necessary to meet requirements for redevelopment. In addition to building new units, as a requirement of the City of Ecorse and to better serve the community the development will necessitate all new sanitary and storm water infrastructure. The development is designed with New Urbanism strategies to create a safer, more rewarding and walkable neighborhood center. Additional site amenities include a community center, which houses the leasing office and resident services activities. The families will enjoy a park planned throughout the community for the children, as well as the traffic calming measures that are designed to create safer streets and parking areas. The design limits the expansive asphalt that does not depict a residential feel, as featured in the traditional public housing communities. Former Use: The subject property is developed with 46 one and two-story apartment buildings, a community building and maintenance garage, and a recreational area with basketball courts. The subject property has been occupied by a refinery with bulk fuel above ground storage tanks from at least 1924 until the 1950s, various storefront and retail businesses from at least 1924 until the 2000s, automotive repair and/or manufacturing operations from 1950 until 1979, and used for residential purposes since at least 1924.
