Additional Property Attributes

The Site is known in municipal and state regulatory files as 300 Broad Street, and is identified as Lot 100, Block 43, Parcel 1446 on the City of Bristol's Property Tax Map online application. The property is comprised of an approximately 20-acre portion of a larger 24.6-acre industrial parcel identification number (PIN) 1446. The Site has generally been occupied by various steel milling companies since initial development as of 1915.

The Site was initially developed in 1915 by Wallace Barnes Company (also known as Associated Spring Corporation) for the manufacturing of cold rolled steel. In 1976, Associated Spring Company changed its name to Barnes Group Inc. Barnes continued to operate at the Site until 1986. In 1986, a Form II (Negative Declaration) was filed with the then Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection for the transfer of the Site to Theis Precision Steel; Theis began operations at the Site shortly thereafter.

Operations remained largely consistent under Theis, with the exception of the operation of a nickel-plating line and associated wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Building #100, which were installed in a former carbon annealing area in approximately 2016/2017. Theis ceased operations at the Site in 2019, and the property has been vacant since that time. All major equipment (including the plating line and WWTP) have been removed from the Site. Theis subdivided the property into two parcels 300 and 340 Broad Street.

The Site was acquired by 300 Broad Street Property LLC in 2022 through a debt purchase and foreclosure action.

The Site is developed with four buildings, described below:

Building #1: One single-story building totaling 46,521 square feet located on the southern portion of the Subject Property. The initial portion of the building was constructed in 1915, and was expanded westward with expansions in 1924, 1934, 1936; and to its current extent with additional expansions in 1950, 1964, and 1968.

Building #5: One single-story building totaling 75,711 square feet located immediately north and interconnected with Building #1. The initial portion of the building was constructed in 1917 with expansion to the east and west in 1923, 1929, 1935, 1936, and 1938.

Building #100: Rectangular single-story building totaling 176,092 square feet located to the north of Building #5. The building was constructed in its current configuration in 1948.

A drive-through door, and two roll-off dumpsters are located to the west of the building. The natural gas service interconnect, an access drive ("North Road"), and a grassy area located to the north of the building. An out-of-service cooling tower, an access drive ("East Road") and two shipping and receiving docks are located outside of the east wall of the building. Staining was noted outside of the loading docks at the time of the site visit. Four empty open-top dumpsters, two former 10,000-gallon no. 4 fuel oil UST vaults (AOC-18) and a compactor are located to the south of the building.

Building #101: Rectangular high-ceiling former boiler house totaling 5,576 square feet located on the northwestern corner of the Subject Property. The building was constructed concurrent with Building #100 in 1948. A concrete pad and two vent pipes are present in the location of two former 20,000-gallon no. 6 fuel oil USTs to the west of the building.

In addition to the features noted above, a tunnel runs from east-to-west between the Subject Property and the western adjoining facility. The tunnel formerly served as a utility conduit between the buildings.

Property is now owned by 300 Broad Street Properties LLC.
