Yes

Government Controls

Additional Institutional Controls Information

With the intended use of the Site for development of an open space and USACE floodwall, the identified exceedances will more likely than not have minimal impact; however if in the future the Site would be considered for residential use, remediation may be warranted. The site completed the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality's Voluntary Remediation Program in December 2022 with institutional controls prohibiting first-level or ground-level residential, prohibition of groundwater use for any purpose other than environmental monitoring, testing, or dewatering in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and a site specific health and safety plan will need to be developed by a qualified health and safety professional for all earth moving activities, including excavation, drilling and construction in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Property Highlights

The current condition of the property is developed into an interim use open space through the Virginia Brownfields Restoration and Economic Redevelopment Assistance Fund Site Remediation Grant awarded to the City of Norfolk and local City funds. The City developed an interim use open space which converted the existing and previously underutilized waterfront site into a publicly accessible space/amenity. Water Street Open Space sits alongside the Elizabeth River Trail and enhances the connection between downtown Norfolk and Harbor Park. Encompassed in the site design are native plantings, stormwater elements to include bioretention meadows, bioretention soils, and vegetated meadow areas, along with repurposing the existing slab remaining from a demolished former storage building into a plaza/gathering area. Furthermore, the City is working with our federal partners at the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to design and construct coastal flood protection in this area within the next few years.
