Additional Property Attributes

Based on the Phase I ESA and other market conditions, the Tribe has elected not to acquire this property. No further funding will be expended on this property.

Former Use: The Subject Property includes 18.2 acres of land originally developed by the Down East Peat Company as part of peat harvesting operations in the late 1970�s. Initial developments at the Subject Property reportedly included the construction of two drying sheds used to house and air-dry harvested peat moss. The setting is rural and adjacent land use is primarily undeveloped or agricultural. The Worcester Peat Company is located immediately to the south of the Subject Property and actively harvests approximately 860-acres of peat bogs, located to the north and west of the Subject Property. The general area, possibly including the Subject Property, has been used intermittently to harvest peat since the late 1930�s. In 1985 the MEDEP approved construction of a 12-megawatt electrical co-generation facility at the Subject Property and ownership was transferred to Downeast Peat Limited. The facility was constructed between 1987 and 1988 and included a six-story power house building, two condenser buildings, two chip storage silos, a fly ash bunker, and fuel (biomass) storage and receiving areas. The facility operated for several years before being placed in cold storage in 2007. Bankruptcy issues have resulted in various property transfers and current ownership of the Subject Property is listed as Downeast Power Company LLC, believed to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Prospect Capital Corporation of New York.
