Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Planning or Assessment

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Phase I and Phase II ESAs that consider impacts from extreme weather events and natural disastersPhase I ESAs may consider current and on-going impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters and consider future impacts to the site or area. For example, an investigation of the site history can include an investigation of site vulnerabilities based on historical and recent extreme weather patterns and events (e.g., floods and drought). Phase II ESAs may include use of renewable energy, incorporating remote sensing capabilities, maximize reuse of existing wells (as appropriate) and/or design wells for future reuse, use of field test kits when possible, use of local laboratories when possible, and use of appropriate sized equipment for the project.

Institutional and Engineering Controls

Yes
Information Devices
Based on the lack of contaminants identified above MCP standards, no additional assessment is warranted at this time. However, future redevelopment / construction will be required to follow the existing engineering control restrictions identified in the Activity and Use Limitation (AUL) within the AUL boundary. Potential future development will need to follow MassDEP-required soil management requirements.

Additional Property Attributes

The Site is located at 256.8 Market Street, in an area zoned HCG-D, Hamilton Canal District Gateway District, according to the City of Lowell zoning map. The Site is located downtown and surrounded by urban mixed use, as well as the Hamilton Canal District. The Merrimack Canal is located west of the Site. Parcel 16 is currently used as a parking lot for the Lowell National Historic Park, as well as greenspace.

In the 1800s, the Site was part of a larger mill development. By the mid-1800s, the Site was part of the Lowell Machine Shop property and Lowell Manufacturing Company. A rail spur was also located on the Site. By 1924, the Lowell Machine Shop became the Saco-Lowell Shops, then Kitson Machine Shop by 1936. A portion of Newmarket Manufacturing Company was located onsite by 1936. In 1950, the properties were undeveloped, with parking lots installed by 1952. The parking lots remain today.

The City acquired Parcels 15 & 16 in November 2021 as part of a larger "land swap" that occurred between the City and NPS. In exchange for acquisition of this land, the City of Lowell has provided an easement to NPS/Lowell National Historical Park for dedicated parking in the newly constructed Hamilton Canal District Parking
Facility and a parking lane located on Father Morissette Boulevard. The parcel IDs for the newly created lots as part of the subdivision have not yet been generated.

Redevelopment plans will likely include mixed-use buildings with commercial redevelopment on the first floors and residential use on the upper floors to meet current market demands.
