Grant assistance <br /> <br />In 1996, the St. Paul Port Authority requested <br />Barr's assistance with the former Maxson Steel <br />Foundry propelty. The property is located in Saint <br />Paul north of the Burlington Northern railroad on <br />Topping A venue between Dale Street and Como <br />A venue. The 21-acre redevelopment area was <br />divided among three owners. The St. Paul Port <br />Authority purchased the parcels in the years 1997, <br />1999, and 2000 under three separate purchase <br />agreements. The propelty has been used for over <br />100 years by heavy industry including a steel <br />foundry, construction companies, waste oil <br />recyclers, tank and drum recyclers, a contaminated <br />soil remediation firm, a manufacturer of heat exchangers, and a solid waste transfer station. <br /> <br />Several previous investigations had been completed at the property in the past. Ban' compiled the <br />information and identified source areas of contamination. We prepared a Phase II investigation work plan <br />for the source areas that required additional investigation. We coordinated the investigation that included <br />collection of surficial and subsurface soil samples in source areas. The investigation also included soil <br />borings in locations of existing and former underground storage tanks in order to comply with the <br />MPCA's VPIC program. The investigation results were compiled in a report and a voluntary response <br />action plan was prepared. Both Ihe MPCA's VIC and VPIC programs approved the report. <br /> <br />Barr then prepared cost estimates for the response action <br />plan. These cost estimates were used as part of the project <br />team's effort to obtain funds from the state. We helped the <br />Port Authority prepare and submit applications for grants <br />available from DTED and the Metropolitan Council. The <br />Port Authority received the majority of the grant money <br />applied for. <br /> <br />During the design phase, Ban- conducted an inventory of <br />wastes at the property and subcontracted the asbestos survey <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Barr Engineering Company <br />
