Additional Property Attributes

Rapid Rim (1912-1924) made pivots. Asbestos Manufacturing (1924-1940s) brake pad/clutch facing. HK Porter (1940s-1980s) brake part. Friction Materials (1989-2005) brake part.

The Site consists of an approximately 135,000 square-foot, vacant, manufacturing building; paved drives and parking lots; an open field vegetated in grasses; and an overgrown wooded area. The Site is situated on approximately 11.97 acres of land bound to the north by Sabine Street, beyond which is a residential area and church (formerly Lincoln Elementary School); to the east by a residential area; to the south by an active Norfolk Southern Railroad right-of-way, beyond which is a residential area; and to the west by an unnamed alley, beyond which is a residential area. The interim and primary objective of the remediation activities is to mitigate risks to human health and the environment posed by the current state of the Site building. Through removal and/or mitigation of the ACMs and the asbestos-laden dust, the Site building will be presented as ready for demolition. Cleanup standards for environmental response actions addressing ACMs and asbestos-laden dust associated with the Site building will be in accordance with applicable state and federal asbestos regulations. This scope of work would allow for the demolition of the building in accordance with appropriate regulations and subsequent recycling of building demolition concrete and steel. This Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) documents the preliminary evaluation of environmental response action alternatives considered to mitigate potential human exposures to fiber releases from asbestos-containing materials and asbestos-laden dust associated with the remaining, former H.K. Porter Friction Materials building located at 1849 East Sabine Street, Huntington, Indiana, hereinafter referred to as the Site. Mitigation of human exposure threats, and remediation of environmental impacts, associated with the previous Site use is appropriate to prepare this brownfield for redevelopment. In June 2024, a Reuse Advisory Committee was established. The Committee is made up of the appointed Second District City Councilperson, an At-Large City Councilperson and member of the Redevelopment Commission (which holds title to the Site), an appointee from the City Administration, and two citizens from the surrounding neighborhood. The Committee's goal is to advise the Redevelopment Commission, keep neighbors informed and help formalize reuse plans for the Site. The interim and primary objective of the cleanup activities is to mitigate risks to human health and the environment posed by the current state of the Site building. Through removal and/or mitigation of the environmental risks, the Site will be presented as ready for building demolition, thus preparing the Site to be redevelopment ready. Environmental response activities are necessary to protect human health and the environment as well as to facilitate future redevelopment of the Site. Alternative response and environmental management activities considered for the Site consisted of the following:
* Alternative 1 - No environmental response actions are performed on the Site (the "no action" alternative), the existing asbestos and associated human health hazardous remain in-place.
* Alternative 2 - Removal of remaining ACMs, cleanup of asbestos-laden dust and debris, and encapsulation of the surfaces of the building interior.
* Alternative 3 - Removal of remaining ACMs, cleanup of asbestos-laden dust and debris, decontamination and encapsulation of the surfaces of the building interior.
