Additional Property Attributes

Based on a review of historical documentation obtained from the City, the database report, and other online sources, the Site was developed as early as 1885 as a cooperage (manufacturing of barrels and casks), which was operated by E.S. Hamlin Co. and later the Portland Cooperage Co. Buildings included a large industrial structure and several outbuildings. According to the 1980 Sanborn map, the large structure was later occupied by the W.H. Shurtleff Co. chemical warehouse. The types of chemicals formerly stored at the Site are unknown.

The waterfront area surrounding the Site was historically occupied by various industrial/commercial entities, including a lumber yard, an ice and oil company, grocery warehouses, and storage of goods, including fertilizer. Historical housekeeping practices and environmental regulatory requirements were not at today's standards during the history of operations. Additionally, several documented releases have occurred in the area and soil vapor sampling at the adjacent Lot 12 identified elevated concentrations of chloroform. The former chemical warehouse at the subject Site (Lot 12A) was considered to be a potential source of the chloroform.

The Portland Waterfront area (from Fore Street to the south) was filled in the mid-1800s. The source of the fill material is unknown. Previous investigations at the adjacent Lot 12 have identified the presence of anthropogenic fill material throughout the Site (including brick and cobble) and elevated concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil, which are often found in fill material. Additionally, railroad tracks were present at the Site from at least 1896 through the 1980s.
