Additional Property Attributes

The former Stimson Atlas Mill site represents one of the last, large, undeveloped waterfront parcels in Coeur d?Alene. The Cityof Coeur d?Alene purchased this property for $7.85 million on September 20, 2017, after DEQ's Brownfields program completed a Phase I for AAI from BFPP. The property is the previous home of the Stimson Atlas Mill, which closed in late 2005. The City in coordination with their urban renewal agency (IgniteCDA) is undertaking a "Vision to Action" series of workshops with the community to determine best uses of this 47-acre former sawmill site on the Spokane River. Plans will include a public waterfront park, residential and business development. Several developers looked at the property over the past decade, but it has lain vacant because of some complexities including: 1) the city owns a former BNSF Railway right-of-way through the property, which is a complication for future owners, and 2) the parcel also is outside of city limits and would need to be annexed before development could occur. The city's initial concept calls for a 10-15 acre city park on the approximate 3,800 feet of Spokane River waterfront access. The city is now planning to annex the parcel into the City, keep the waterfront property (up to the northern side of the former BNSF Railway right-of-way, and sell the remaining property to Ignite-CDA, which would find buyers for it. The remaining 30 acres could support about $100 million worth of housing and commercial development.IDEQ is now planning to undertake a Phase II ESA on the former Stimson Atlas Mill Property, Coeur d?Alene, ID. Previously, we received your EPA site eligibility determination in support of CCLR?s Vision to Action workshop funding. This was at the same time that IDEQ?s contractor were completing the Phase I ESA. The workshop is now canceled because the City of Coeur d?Alene has taken it upon themselves to conduct their own visioning.

Former Use: The 47-acre property was first developed as the Atlas Mill Company in 1909. Prior to that the property was undeveloped land. The property is located in Kootenai County at the edge of Coeur d'Alene city limits. The Spokane River bounds the property to the south and Seltice Way, a major east-west thoroughfare, is the northern boundary. The BNSF Railway Company mainline tracks and spurs bisected the property from the Spokane River. The Atlas Mill operated under various ownerships from 1909 to 2000 when Stimson purchased the mill. Atlas Pellet (a.k.a. Coeur d'Alene Fiber Fuel), a wood pellet manufacturer operated on the northwest corner of the property under a lease from the mill owners. Prior to closing the mill in December 2005, Stimson used the property for sawmill activities, log storage and lumber storage. In 2006, Stimson demolished all buildings and structures associated with the mill and the pellet manufacturing. All asphalt and concrete roads, staging areas and parking lots were crushed and piled on the northwestern portion of the property. Log waste and soil was placed in large piles located on the northeastern portion of the property. BNSF removed the mainline and spurs in 2005 and sold the 60-foot right-of-way and former mainline to the City of Coeur d'Alene in May 2015, which is currently in DEQ's Brownfields program.
