BROWNFIELD CLEANUP EXPERIENCE

Michael Mullins, the project sponsor and the owner of Cranesport, LLC, has relevant experience. Michael as a principal in RM Developer (RudzinskiMullins), the sponsor for the redevelopment of Massachusetts Mills III / The Picker Building. This historic textile mill is within the Downtown Lowell National Park, a historic preservation district. The mill building was in a state of extreme disrepair and contained a large amount of asbestos-containing materials. The site contained several hundred yards of contaminated soils including fuel oil, asbestos, and other contaminants in an area of just 3,000 square feet. RM Developer completed a $1.7 million cleanup on behalf of the property owner, in addition to the environmental remediation within the building. Working in a small area between two buildings and the edge of the Concord River presented unique challenges, including complicated logistics. The building was completed in 2017, and remediation work continues today, with monitoring wells to measure groundwater contamination and protective booms to capture any oil displaced by rising and falling river water.

Michael’s experience involves working with the general contractor, the Massachusetts DEP, and the environment consultant (referred to as a Licensed Site Professional or LSP) test, scope, and remediate on-site contamination. The project generated a Massachusetts Lead Abatement Tax Credit and a Massachusetts Brownfields Tax Credit.

Michael Mullins also has relevant experience working with contaminates sites in Maine as the principal of 25 Rankin LLC, the sponsor for the redevelopment of the Antiques Marketplace property into the Maine Museum of Industry.

This 1920’s car dealership is in downtown Rockland and contains a number of hazardous materials including hybraulic oil, asbestos containing materials, PCB’s, and gasoline. Prior to the purchase of the property, Michael worked with Ransom Environmental to do a phase I and phase II Environmental Site Assessment. The project will require a VRAP similar to the process the Town of Camden has followed with the Tannery site.
