Summary: 2P26-022 Phase II Conceptual RAP

This is a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) document prepared for the City of Bristol, Connecticut, regarding the redevelopment of the J.H. Sessions and Sons Building, a historic mill structure located at 273 Riverside Avenue. The project involves environmental assessment and remediation planning for an approximately 3.54-acre property that the City is seeking to redevelop for workforce housing purposes. The Phase II Conceptual RAP outlines the environmental conditions identified at the site, the contamination assessment results, and the proposed remedial approaches necessary to prepare the property for residential redevelopment. The document serves as a technical foundation for prospective developers to understand the environmental scope of work required before adaptive reuse of the mill building can proceed.

The RAP addresses soil and groundwater contamination issues typical of historical industrial properties, providing developers with a clear understanding of remediation requirements, potential costs, and timelines associated with environmental cleanup. The document is intended to guide developers in their proposals by establishing the environmental baseline conditions and the framework for achieving regulatory closure from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). Understanding these environmental conditions and remedial requirements is essential for developers to accurately assess project feasibility, establish realistic budgets, and develop remediation schedules that align with workforce housing development objectives.
