Redevelopment

Ed WalshPresidentMira Development(Formerly of Lyme Properties)

Former Use: Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Primary Contamination: DNAPL Environmental Remediation: March 2000 - October 2001 New Use: Life Science/Office, Residential, Performing Arts, Retail,

Restaurant, and Public Open Space Development Schedule: 1998 - 2010

Kendall Square Introduction

Size: 10 Acres Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts Bounded by Linskey Way, Third Street and Broad Canal

Topography: Flat Surrounding Community: Densely Populated with

Commercial, Residential and R&D Users

Kendall Square Site

Prior to 1870: Open Space & Marsh Land

1870-1960: Cambridge Gas Light Company (Manufactured Gas Plant)

1934-1966: Old Colony Tar Company (tar rendering operation)

1966-1998: COM Electric & Gas (Surface Parking Lots – Temporary Remedial Solution as Interim Cap)

Kendall Square Historic Use (1870-1998)

Coal Tar Residuals: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in soils (0-20 feet below grade) and as Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid > 0.5” in depth at groundwater/clay interface (approximately 20 feet below grade)

Petroleum Residuals: Volatile Organic Compounds in soils (0-20 feet below grade) and as Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (LNAPL) >0.5” in depth on surface of groundwater (approximately 10 feet below grade)

Groundwater Quality: Generally meets GW-2 Standards (non-potable but typical of urban setting)

Kendall Square Contamination from Historic Activities

Building A: 247,000 SF lab (Vertex) Building B: 223,000 SF lab (TBD) Building C: 85,000 SF Performing

Arts (Constellation) Building D: 273,000 SF Office

(Genzyme) Building E1: 150,000 SF Residential

(TBD) Building E2: 330,000 SF Residential

(Twining) Building G: 50,000 SF Mixed Use

(res./retail/office) Parking: Two Below Grade Facilities

for 2,000 Vehicles (beneath Building B and Buildings E1/E2/G)

Kendall Square Master Plan

Maximize Density: FAR of 3.0 + Bonus Housing for total of 1,376,000 SF of Mixed Use Development

Optimize Return on Investment Below Grade Parking: 2,000 Vehicles Aesthetics & Integrated Design:

Contemporary, Class “A” Architecture Complementary Open Space with Public Amenities

Kendall Square Remediation Strategy in Support of Redevelopment

Management of Uncertainty Extensive investigation and precharacterization Environmental Insurance - $10 MM, 10 year-term

Selection of Remedial Technologies Extensive cost/benefit evaluation Locate garage excavations in areas with the cleanest

soils to reduce the cost of soil disposal Remediate the most contaminated areas using

ISS to allow soils to stay on site

Engineering and Institutional Controls to Manage Risks Associated with Contamination Remaining On Site Engineering Controls - vapor barriers, venting systems, and

dewatering and water treatment systems Institutional Controls - Activity and Use Limitations (AULs)

Kendall Square Remediation Strategy in Support of Redevelopment

Location of two 4-Level Garages with 2,000 car capacity In Situ Sampling: >800 Samples Clean Up Goal: Clean Closure Mass Excavation with Off-Site Disposal & Recycling Duration: March, 2000 - October 2001
