The NW Quadrant area has been developed for over <br />100 ycars with a wide range of industrial and commercial uses on 15 propel1ies, including a former <br />petroleum refinery, a solvent-recycling facility, railroad, two former dumps that received municipal and <br />demolition wastes, an asphalt mix plant, stockyards, two rendering plants, and gasoline stations. Over the <br />past several years, the City of New Brighton has been proceeding with a revitalization plan that involves <br />one of the most ambitious and complex brownfield redevelopments in Minnesota. The redevelopment <br />area is located adjacent to Long Lake (a popular recreational area) and a Ramsey County Regional Parle <br />The rcdevclopment plan includes approximately 40 acres of new residential housing and 50 acres of <br />mixed use residential, retail, and commercial office space. <br /> <br />As the city's consultant, Barr has provided a wide array of technical assistance in support of this complex <br />project. We have completed Phase I and Phase II envil"Onmental assessments, and evaluated and <br />developed responsc action plans with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) in support of the <br />redevelopment. Barr has completed evaluations and cost estimates for solutions related to the <br />complexities of redeveloping over the fonner dumps (landfill gas, emission control plan for asbestos <br />containing materials in the dump, poor geotechnical conditions, etc.), addressing concerns for the <br />redcvelopmcnt related to volatile organic soil vapors, and coordinating the cleanup work with planned <br /> <br />Barr Engineering Company <br />
