Property Highlights

Former Use: The Saco Steel site is located at 29 Lund Road and is currently owned by the City of Saco. The site is comprised of one 7.6-acre parcel that is identified by the City of Saco Assessor�s Office as Map 70, Lot 4. The site was abandoned by the previous owner, Earth Waste Systems EWS, prior to the City of Saco�s foreclosure in January 2007. The Saco Steel site is currently vacant and consists of the former main facility building on the western portion of the site, the former shear building on the central portion of the site, a capped contaminated/residual waste area in the northern central portion of the site, railroad tracks that transect the eastern portion of the site, a storm water treatment/sedimentation pond in the eastern portion of the site, paved or concrete driveway/parking areas, and vegetative areas along the perimeter of the site. According to historical records, the site was developed with the main facility building in 1978. Prior to 1978, the site was comprised of undeveloped wooded land. Saco Steel occupied the site and operated a metal recycling facility from 1979 to 1997, at which time EWS obtained the property. Site operations included scrap metal sorting and recycling as well as the crushing and processing of out-of-service automobiles automobile recycling. EWS subsequently abandoned the property, and the City of Saco acquired the site in January 2007.
