City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 2009 <br />5-6 <br />Portions of the TCAAP property were subject to environmental contamination <br />during its four decades as a munitions manufacturing plant and testing area. The <br />United States Army initiated environmental cleanup in the 1980s and cleanup of <br />the groundwater is likely to may continue for at least the next 40 years. <br />Additional environmental characterization and testing is underway to determine <br />the extent of the cleanup that remains on the 585 acres prior to being <br />redeveloped. The property will be cleaned up to required standards for <br />residential, commercial, and recreational uses. <br /> <br />In 2013, Ramsey County entered into a contract with Carl Bolander & Sons Co. <br />for hazardous material abatement, demolition, and site remediation services for <br />the TCAAP property. The remediation project is expected to be completed in the <br />fall of 2015. Remediation will comply with the Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency’s residential standard. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5.2.2 REDEVELOPMENT TIMELINE <br /> <br />Demolition and remediation of the site is scheduled to be completed by the fall of <br />2015. After the demolition and remediation is concluded grading of the site will <br />begin for the construction of the Spine Road and trunk utilities in 2016. At this <br />time, it is expected that private development will begin in 2017. While the <br />redevelopment timeline has not been fully determined, construction will not begin <br />before 2009. The project is anticipated to be completed in phases over the next <br />10 to 20 years; however, the development timeline will depend on a number of <br />conditions, including the market, environmental cleanup, transportation <br />improvements, and other related factors. Once the City adopts a redevelopment <br />plan for TCAAP, a more detailed timeline will be created. <br />
