Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives

This Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) was prepared by AKT Peerless for the Detroit- Wayne County Port Authority (DWCPA) and the Freedom House Detroit. The ABCA is a required element of the Brownfield Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Grant awarded to the DWCPA by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Environmental cleanup activities at the subject property will be funded, in part, under the USEPA RLF program. In preparing this ABCA for the Project, AKT Peerless (Qualified Environmental Professional), Freedom House Detroit (property owner and RLF subgrantee) and DWCPA (RLF grantee) considered environmental factors, various subject property characteristics, surrounding property use, land use restrictions, potential future uses of the subject property and surrounding area, and applicable cleanup goals for the Project. This ABCA provides a comparative analysis of the cleanup alternatives being considered using the criteria of effectiveness, ability to implement, and the cost of each alternative. This ABCA recommends the most appropriate cleanup alternative and enables the redevelopment of the subject property for commercial use which is a direct benefit to the public.
