Additional Property Attributes

The Site is located off Heritage Boulevard also referred to as Weaver Drive in the City of Sanford, York County, Maine. The Site referred to as Lot 24 currently contains the former Boiler House building, chimney, UST Vault, and parking area among other features. Lot 24 at the International Woolen Site has operated as a boiler house as part of an industrial complex since at least 1892. Over the years the building�s configuration has changed, as well as the fuel source evolved from coal to #6 fuel oil. The location of the fuel storage has also changed as renovations occurred. Several reported historical releases of petroleum products and other hazardous materials have occurred at the Site. Given that the Site has operated for over 125 years as an industrial facility, additional historical releases likely occurred prior to implementation of current housekeeping practices and environmental regulations. While some of these releases have been remediated information on the cleanup of many of these releases (if applicable) was not available.

Former Use: The subject parcel was originally developed in the early 1880s with a mill building associated with the IWC Mill Complex (formerly referred to as the Sanford Mills). The original structure was replaced with the current four-story mill building in 1924. The Site operated as a textile mill until the early 2000s and has been vacant since that time. The northern portion of the Site along the Mousam River was filled by 1921. The source of the fill material is unknown. Historical documentation indicates that hazardous substances and/or chemicals were stored or used in these structures. Historical housekeeping practices at the mill and environmental regulatory requirements were not at today�s standards during the history of operations. Several spills were identified at the Site dating back to 1990, including releases of sulfuric acid from a former aboveground storage tank (AST).A Declaration of Environmental Covenant was recorded for the Site and adjacent IWC mill parcels on June 23, 2011. The Environmental Covenant was recorded due to the known contamination in soil and groundwater. The covenant does not indicate the specific areas where contaminants are known to exist, and the covenant applies to the entire Site as a conservative measure. The document prohibits the following activities at the Site without prior notice and approval by MEDEP: alteration or extraction of groundwater; excavation or disturbance of soil; and access to sub-basement areas. Uses of the Site are limited to commercial/industrial or other non-residential purposes. Pursuant to the Environmental Covenant, impacted soil and groundwater with elevated concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), metals, and/or PAHs remains at the Site.
