The investigations consisted of Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs), Response Action Plans and Asbestos and Hazardous Materials Assessments. AET designed the assessments specifically for the proposed future uses of the properties - from commercial use and workforce housing to use by a neighboring school. This earned us four additional property assessments. Environmental investigation was the first step to transform underutilized sites into the type of transit-oriented development envisioned along the Green Line.ĪET prepared the first EPA-approved Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) for the project. The EPA’s Brownfields Program awarded grants to a coalition made up of the City of Saint Paul, the Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide technical assistance to local property owners to investigate potential contamination and/or hazardous materials in structures, soil and groundwater along the route. The City of Saint Paul was awarded a $1 million grant from the U.S. Project for Pride in Living (PPL) had one such vision for affordable, high-density housing in a mixed-use facility. When Metro Transit and the City of Saint Paul pursued their vision for a Central Corridor Light Rail Transit (Green Line) that would connect Saint Paul and Minneapolis, many opportunities for redevelopment were at stake and there was a great push to improve livability for residents.
