Additional Property Attributes

The Phase I ESA identified the following Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) in conjunction with the Site: � The presence of fill in Site from an unknown source; � The extensive historic commercial and industrial use of the Site with various historic occupants of environmental concern; � The potential for off-Site impacts from upgradient properties; and � The potential presence of a vapor encroachment condition (VEC). Choice Neighborhood Initiative Summary: Superstorm Sandy was a wake-up call for South Norwalk �SoNo� CT. Significant change was needed for this socio-economically distressed neighborhood located within the 100-yr flood plain of the Norwalk River. Coupled with a long history of landfilling & industrial use, the entire City has rallied to revitalize SoNo. To address flooding, the elevation of streets & infrastructure, which will fully embrace a complete streets design, will be raised. Redevelopment plans for an obsolete public housing complex significantly impacted by flooding include remediating impacted soils & constructing a new, mixed-income development above the floodplain, which will create additional affordable housing. Ryan Park, the sole recreational space in SoNo, has been closed since the discovery of PCBs. The park is being remediated & redesigned to meet the community needs & will also be raised to provide dry egress for the neighborhood. Cultivated from a HUD Choice Neighborhood grant, the vision for SoNo was developed over an 18 month period through a broad-based, community planning process involving residents, businesses & elected officials. The vision for SoNo�s future included strategies identified as critical to improving the neighborhood, its people & their opportunities. These strategies provided a roadmap to move SoNo�s vision of revitalization forward. It took many years and required the resources and partnerships of many individuals and organizations to unleash the community�s full potential.

Former Use: The 2.19-acre Site is located southwest of the Raymond Street and Day Street intersection in an �Industrial� zone of Norwalk, Connecticut. The property is municipally-owned and utilized as a public park known as Ryan Park. The park consists of a basketball court, baseball field, children�s play area and associated paved parking. The Site and surrounding area has a lengthy history that dates back to at least 1884. Historic maps indicate that the Site and surrounding area consisted of mud flats or marsh land associated with the nearby Norwalk Harbor until it was filled and subsequently developed sometime prior to 1884. The most notable historic Site occupants include a hat manufacturer(s), fur dress manufacturer, machine shop, rubber manufacturer, junk yard and chemical company. By 1991 all of the former on Site buildings were demolished and the current park developed. Surrounding properties historically comprised of similar land usage included industrial buildings to the north across Raymond Street, east across Day Street and abutting the Site to the south and included brass and iron foundries, hat manufactures and a junk yard. By the 1950s the majority of the large industrial buildings to the north, east and south were demolished and residential and/or commercial development became more prominent.
