Property Highlights

Former Use: The site is located on a 0.46 acre parcel along East Canal Street in Shelton, Connecticut. The Site is approximately 0.2 miles southeast of downtown Shelton. The site is currently vacant. Much of the site is covered in debris from the former on-site buildings. Two floors of the former Samarius Industries building cross over Burying Ground Brook, which flows west to east along the southern boundary of the Site. Across the brook to the south are the former Chromium Processes Property and the former Eastern Land Management Property. The Site is bordered along the northern boundary by the Housatonic Railroad, along the west by East Canal Street, and the east by the Housatonic River. While active, the former Samarius Industries building was serviced by City water and sewer. It is assumed that these utilizes and possibly several other utility lines cross the site in various locations and depths. The area in which the site is located is zoned for industrial/commercial use, and is included as part of the Shelton Enterprise and Commerce Park SECP, a brownfield site undergoing redevelopment planning and construction. The Site was formerly occupied by a 19,000-square foot, three story brick building. Built in 1887, with an addition built in 1896, the building was continuously occupied from 1887 through 1985. Various industrial activities took place over this time, including, box manufacturing, brass and silver goods manufacturing, cloth and textile manufacturing, and lastly, Tiffany lamps electronics control Samarius Industries. Samarius stopped operations in 1985. From 1985 through 2000 the Site was unoccupied and damaged by several fires. In the spring of 2000, under an alternative work practice permit, the Connecticut Department of Public Health razed the building remains. Asbestos containing materials ACM were abated from the building debris and disposed of off-site. Non-ACM debris was left on Site as backfill material.
