Additional Property Attributes

Property was subdivided and 3.43 acres sold for commercial development. Additional lots are for sale. DDE will only need to be addressed if the property is used for residential purposes. The asbestos identified on the surface can be address during redevelopment.

Former Use: The Property is located in the former Babbitt Housing Area. At the present time it is vacant. The Property consists of approximately 44 acres between 10th and 20th Streets and US Highway 95 and Lexington Avenue. The Property is relatively flat and covered with native vegetation. Babbitt was constructed during World War II to provide housing for married civilian workers for the Naval Ammunition Plant, Hawthorne Hawthorne Army Depot. During the period of 1940-1945, a total of 580 duplexes were constructed in the Babbitt area, 133 of those duplexes were located on the Property. At the conclusion of the Korean Conflict, the Navy began disposing of whole blocks of vacant Babbitt housing units by selling the houses and the new owners were required to remove the structures from the site. By 1964, only 261 of the original 580 duplexes remained. The last occupant moved from Babbitt in June of 1987. Some of the buildings which were deemed not suitable for sale were demolished. This included the majority of the commercial buildings. The last buildings were removed in July, 1994. Also, there was agriculture use in the portion of the Property located between Essex and Highway 95. On the portion of the Property southeast and adjacent to 10th Street there was an elm tree line that had been planned as a wind break. According to the "Environmental Assessment for the Transfer of Ownership of the Babbitt Housing Area Portion of the Hawthorne Army Depot" in the 1950s DDT may have been used in the area to control elm beetles. The Phase I and Phase II was able to document that there was no buried hazardous material but asbestos scatter was identified on the surface. DDE was detected in the soil above residential levels but below commercial/industrial levels.
