Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: The Subject Property is located on the northwest corner of French Island in the Penobscot River. The River forms the north and west property boundaries. The area surrounding the Subject Property is primarily a mixture of commercial and residential properties. There are currently no structures located on the property. The Subject Property is largely grass covered, although the banks leading to the Penobscot River are lightly wooded. Topography is generally flat although the north and west property boundaries slope approximately 12 to 15 feet down to the river. Stormwater likely infiltrates unpaved surfaces or enters stormwater drains. Based on a review of historical Sanborn Maps, the Subject Property has been utilized for commercial and industrial purposes as far back as the mid to late 1800s. The earliest Sanborn Map available, dated 1895, shows that the Subject Property was utilized by the TM Chapman and Sons Company. Land uses prior to 1895 are unknown. A machine shop was located directly adjacent the western property boundary and appears to have been constructed almost directly on the shoreline of the Penobscot River. A foundry was located on the eastern portion of the subject property with two smaller buildings, one labeled as storage, located in the center of the property. Both the foundry and machine shop were expanded through the early to mid 1900s. The foundry was removed prior to 1962 and the machine shop was removed between 1962 and the present. CEG observed significant metal debris and slag along the river embankment. In most areas, the volume of debris and slag obscured the view of native soils in these areas.
