Cannery Village

The Former Draper King Cole Cannery site, located in Milton, Delaware, was an approximately 35-acre vegetable cannery, which has been redeveloped for mixed-use residential and commercial redevelopment. As part of the project, approximate 16 acres of buildings were demolished, including the processing plant and various warehousing facilities. Ten Bears completed a Voluntary Cleanup Program investigation of the site on behalf of the redeveloper. The RI/FS for the property generally consisted of soil, sediment, and groundwater sampling and laboratory analysis, a limited human health risk assessment and establishment of remedial action objectives, followed by a feasibility study to evaluate potential remedial alternatives, and selection of the proposed remedy. A large volume of impacted soils containing relatively immobile No. 6 Fuel Oil was contained on site, avoiding excessive off site treatment and disposal costs. A parking lot that serves portions of the commercial development caps other impaired soils that were relocated during the remedial action.
