Environmental covenant to be recorded on land records in near future. The report did identify risks associated with environmental contamination. However, the report's recommendations including preparing an environmental covenant to restrict the property to commercial or industrial use only, restrict the use of groundwater for any purpose, ensure that all future intrusive activities be conducted in accordance with an OSHA compliant health and safety plan, and submit written notification to MDE's Controlled Hazardous Substance Enforcement Division a minimum of 30 days prior to constructing any buildings in areas overlying the solvent contaminated groundwater. Additionally, soil and groundwater excavated, pumped or otherwise removed from the property must be tested, properly characterized, and disposed of in an appropriate manner. The indoor air risks should be addressed by ensuring sufficient ventilation of the working spaces in the building.

Additional Property Attributes

Cutlery manufacturing from 1951 to 1998. Storage facility for Aerospace Manufacturing, Inc. from 2006 to 2008. October 1986, issued C-O-87-091 for evaporating and treating waste plating solutions without a permit, CHS in unmarked and unsealed drums.

Former Use: While the existing facility was built in 1950, the roots of the company date back more than 100 years when Crisfield blacksmith Charles Briddell began manufacturing oyster knives for the local seafood industry. The company later produced other types of cutlery. The Briddell family sold the business in 1961 to Towle Manufacturing, a silver company, which at one time employed more than 200 people. Towle closed the plant in 1989 after it filed for bankruptcy. There was at least one other owner before Syratech purchased the property in 1998. The cutlery plant has closed and reopened several times during the past 20 years. Syratech purchased the building in 1998. The plant was shut down in 2000, and its factory store closed the following year. Syratech Corp. the most recent owner has been trying to sell the property for the past several years. It is reported to have recently donated the 23-acre site along Route 413 to the City of Crisfield just before Christmas. Last year, the city purchased two nearby parcels of land -- one of which abuts Carvel Hall -- for a new industrial park. Both have since been annexed into the city. The city used 1.3 million in state Community Development Block Grant funds to purchase the land and pay for design, road construction and utility installations in the new industrial park. City officials have been trying to get an industrial park off the ground for the past three years, and had a difficult time finding land that was suitable and also contiguous to the city.
