Additional Property Attributes

Bridgeport Brass was a 35-acre complex that manufactured brass, copper and bronze tubing, piping, wire, rod and sheet stock beginning in the mid 1800's and included approximately 21.5 acres located at 560 North Washington Avenue. In 1987, 560 North Washington Avenue was divided into 16 separate industrial condominium units. The City of Bridgeport is one of several unit owners at this complex and has plans of redevelopment.

The Site is located on land reclaimed from the Pequonnock River in the late 1800s, and residential buildings characterized the site until 1937. The Site was redeveloped in 1937 for industrial use with the construction of a warehouse and occupied by Bridgeport Brass until the company went out of business circa 1983. The former Bridgeport Brass facility manufactured brass, copper and bronze tubing, wire, rod and sheet stock. Manufacturing processes across the entire Bridgeport Brass complex included heating, molding, cutting, annealing, cleaning, rolling, extruding, pickling, plus tool and die works. Materials handled included metals, solvents, cyanide, acids, caustics, and oils. Wastes generated include solvents, oils, metal sludges, acids and wastewater. Historically the facility was a large quantity generator of hazardous waste under the federal Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) program. Small commercial and industrial shops occupied the Site from the 1980s until present.

The Site is also located within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zone. The CTDEEP Water Quality Classifications Map (CTDEEP, 2015) indicates that groundwater underlying the site is classified as GB.

Unit 9 is approximately 1.3-acres located at 560 North Washington Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut. No buildings are currently present on the Site, which is occupied by TJ Carting Services LLC and used as a transfer station. Historically, the Site contained a warehouse building constructed in 1937 and demolished around the early 2000s. Since its demolition the building footprint has been used to stage waste dumpsters and automobiles.
