Problems/Comments
A Phase I site assessment was conducted in 2011 for a portion of the former Pelican Seafood Processing Facility. The portions of the facility evaluated were those acquired by the City of Pelican: Tidelands Subdivision Block 17, Lots 1 & 2, and Pelican Seafoods Subdivision Lots 1 & 4. Observations made during a site visit indicated that petroleum hydrocarbon releases may have occurred as a result of heating oil releases from aboveground storage tanks associated with former company housing, most notably at the condemned eastern-most housing unit.

| 2/28/2011 | Brownfields Award | This site was confirmed as a brownfield with EPA's approval of the City of Pelican's request for a Targeted Brownfield Assessment of the site. | Sonja Benson |
| 3/22/2011 | Site Visit | The EPA Targeted Brownfield Assessment (TBA) manager and the project term contractor visited the site as part of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment being conducted under the TBA program. | Sonja Benson |
| 6/22/2011 | Document, Report, or Work plan Review - other | Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was completed on this date through the EPA Targeted Brownfield Assessment (TBA) program. The TBA report noted that observations made during the site visit indicated that petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated soil is present on the property, resulting from heating oil releases from above ground storage tanks associated with housing structures. Also observed were petroleum liquids, stains, and open fluid-bearing containers in the engine room building. Floor drains in the concrete engine room floor also present a potential environmental concern. Electrical transformers labeled as PCB-containing were observed on the west side of the facility. It was also noted in the report that in August 2009 DEC's Prevention and Emergency Response Program had responded to a potential catastrophic release of anhydrous ammonia from the the facility's two refrigeration systems. The TBA Phase I report recommended Phase II assessment or site characterization. | Sonja Benson |
