Property Highlights

Formerly part of Dow Air Force Base. The Site was used as a salvage yard accepting scrap and other materials for recycling/disposal.

Former Use: The approximately 19-acre Site comprises two undeveloped parcels. The Site is generally cleared with a small wooded area in the western portion of the Site. A degraded paved driveway associated with a former building is located across the central portion of the Site and connects to the unnamed access road along the northern edge of the Site. The larger of the two parcels is a portion of BIA with an address of 1 BIA; however, for purposes of assessment, the two parcels are referred to as 233 Odlin Road to exclude the remainder of the airport. In the early days of the Godfrey Airfield (1920s and 1930s) the Site was located in the undeveloped outskirts of the airport and was possibly used for farming. The Site was developed with one building as a satellite salvage yard associated with the DOW Army Airfield by 1942, later the Dow Air Force Base (AFB) by 1947. By 1947, Site operation had expanded and buildings consisted of three large buildings known as T-133, T-134, and T-161, several smaller buildings known as T-162, T-163, and T-164, and several shed size buildings. The salvage yard operated at the Site through 1968 when the Dow AFB closed. During its operation the salvage yard accepted scrap metal, aircraft and auto parts, automobiles, paints, paint thinner, clothing and office furniture and supplies. Larger materials were stored on the open ground surface. By 1973, only one main building remained. After closure of the AFB, the Site was transferred to the City of Bangor, whom leased the Site to a plumbing and heating supply company and later a cabinet maker. By 2004, the former Site building was removed and the Site has remained undeveloped and unused since that time.
