As identified in the workplan, the City of Rome is seeking a qualified environmental professional to prepare up to five Phase I Environmental Site Investigations (ESAs) in accordance with the ASTM Standard E1527-00. Based on preliminary field observations, parcel history and data, current site use and environmental impact information found in the DEC bulk storage and active spill sites databases, over 100 parcels were identified as potential brownfield sites for the Erie Boulevard Corridor and Martin Street Gateway BOA in Rome, NY. From among those, four strategic sites along West Dominick Street and on Martin Street have been identified on the basis of geography, visibility, and immediate development potential.
