Property Highlights

The former International Metallurgical Services IMS manufacturing facility has been vacant since 1984, two years after IMS first d bankruptcy. The City of Newark received the 1.62 acre property in 1993 through tax foreclosure. In 1986, the City of Newark brought in the NJ Department of Environmental Protection NJDEP and the Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate the site and conduct an extensive removal action due to concerns about arson and vandalism at the abandoned site. This action addressed the immediate human health and environmental threats by the removal of numerous drums, tanks, and containers containing a variety of chemicals. However, many tanks, soil piles, and subsurface soil and groundwater contamination remain. The City sought this EPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant to address the remaining contamination and allow Newark to position the site for redevelopment as part of a larger project to generate jobs. The beginning of work on this site was delayed by the expiration of the contract with the environmental consultant. The city re-competed the work and has entered into a new contract that will enable remediation to proceed.
