Additional Property Attributes

Property Description: The subject property is located at 1650 Pierce Avenue, Marinette, Wisconsin, and is identified by Marinette County Parcel ID # 251-02252.002. The property is approximately one acre of vacant land. The building that formerly occupied the property was razed by fire in 2018.

Past Use: The findings of the Phase I ESA indicated the site was occupied by a building that operated as knitting mill from at least 1910 until the 1970s. It later became a wholesale warehouse during the 1980s and 1990s. Sanborn fire insurance maps from 1948 and 1956 indicated that operations at the former knitting mill included dry-cleaning. The property was used for general storage for the past 25 years until the old knitting mill building was demolished by the fire department during a controlled training-burn.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) records indicate that adhesives, resins, and paints were improperly stored in the building during the 1990s. The material was subsequently removed and disposed of off-site. During the fire in 2018, water ponding on the site from fire suppression activities was observed to have a green tint. The water was vacuumed into trucks and disposed. No further action was required by the WDNR after the cleanup of this water.
Additionally, fire insurance maps indicated that the adjoining site to the south was formerly used to manufacture threshers, engines, potato machinery, pianos, piano benches, and Victrola's from at least 1901 until approximately the 1930s.

Current Condition: The subject property is currently vacant and undeveloped. There were no structures on the subject property on the date of the reconnaissance. The subject property is covered with grass and weedy vegetation. Several trees are located along the subject property boundaries adjacent to city streets. Recognized environmental conditions at the former knitting mill property include dry cleaning operations and storage activities conducted on the property and manufacturing activities conduced on property located south across Daggett Street. Potential environmental impacts include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals to soil and groundwater.

Future use of this site includes: The city was working with the property owner to redevelop the site for housing, potentially condominiums. However, redevelopment plans have not been set and the grantee is working on determining the use of the site. If residential use is proposed and redeveloped for that purpose, the isolated area of soil containing barium and lead at concentrations above residential direct contact RCL, once delineated, should be appropriately mitigated or managed to eliminate the direct contact pathway.
