Project Type: Remediation
Activities: 318 North Main LLC. received a $400,000 loan through the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG) EPA Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) for cleanup activities at 318 North Main Street, Southington. The site was occupied by Aetna Match Company, a match manufacturer during the late 1800s. Beaton & Corbin manufactured ceiling and floor plates, and plumbing fittings and fixtures. Operations included metal machining and metal plating. Wastes formerly generated during Beaton & Corbin occupancy include metal hydroxide plating sludge, plating wastes, and degreasing and machining oils. These wastes were disposed of in two lagoons in the southwest portion of the Site. Five storage tanks which reportedly contained oil, gasoline, liquid wastes, and chemical raw materials were historically used on-site. The former 25,000-square-foot building was located in the northern portion of the Site and was destroyed in a fire on September 22, 2003. Prior Environmental Site Assessments revealed extensive soil contamination and hazardous building materials. Remedial activities are complete.
Project Status: Construction and paving are complete. Two new buildings, totaling 14,900 square feet, currently host a variety of tenants, including medical offices and a daycare.
