Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Planning or Assessment

Selected Strategy(ies)	Explanatory Text
Climate-focused Phase I and Phase II ESAs	Climate-focused Phase 1 ESAs may consider current and on-going climate change impacts and consider future impacts to the site or area. For example, an investigation of the site history can include an investigation of site vulnerabilities based on historical and recent climate patterns and events (e.g., floods and drought). Climate-focused Phase 2 ESAs may include use of renewable energy, incorporating remote sensing capabilities, maximize reuse of existing wells (as appropriate) and/or design wells for future reuse, use of field test kits when possible, use of local laboratories when possible, and use of appropriate sized equipment for the project."

Property Highlights

The 15.86-acre site is two parcels identified by the State by parcel identification numbers (PIN) 20-06-08-179-003-000-012 (Lot 1) and 20-06-08-176-003-000-012 (Lot 2). Lot 1 consists of a 5.7-acre lot and Lot 2 consists of a 10.16-acre lot. The Site formerly contained two roundhouses for the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad and subsequently the New York Central Railroad, which operated on site from 1910 to 1950. The site is currently vacant with heavy vegetation and scattered concrete debris that was left from the demolition of the historical roundhouses. The western portion of the property contained two roundhouses, a smaller passenger engine round house on the north, and a larger freight engine roundhouse on the south. Numerous railroad spurs radiate from the roundhouses and join the main railroad to the north. Roundhouses were used to enable turn-around, repair and storage of locomotive engines and featured drop pits below the floor surface to allow for the locomotive repair. Blueprints of the structures indicate that a coaling station and ash pits were located to the west of the main roundhouse and that a fuel storage tank was located west of the small roundhouse. Locomotive maintenance pits also existed beneath the roundhouses. Site investigations have been performed at the site dating back to 1989. Volatile organic compounds, semivolatile organic compounds and metals were detected at concentrations exceeding the screening levels.
An inspection for hazardous building materials was conducted, and transite pieces were identified across the western parcel in numerous locations.
