Sperry
Warehouse Remediation Project
Summary
In
2009, the consulting firm of Clough Harbour Associates
was hired by the City of Troy under a grant from the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to provide engineering services toward site investigation
at the Sperry Warehouse Site to determine contamination
source(s) and to identify, evaluate, and select long-term,
cost effective and environmentally sound remedial action.
This
4.75-acre site, located off of Main Street , is a high
priority brownfield site owned by the City. It is situated
between a railroad line, the Wynantskill, and Rensselaer
County property, is approx. 600ft from the Hudson River
, and is accessed by a County owned road. The site was
originally used as a rivet factory and horseshoe factory.
The City uses part of the property for storage.
Other portions of the buildings on site have collapsed.
This
site has been part of several extensive studies for
the revitalization of South Troy including the South
Troy Working Waterfront Revitalization Plan (STWWRP)
and the EPA Brownfields Pilot Project with the objective
being to redevelop such sites to a level of compatibility
with commercial areas, thus improving the quality of
life and opportunities for the South Troy residents.
