  11. Redevelopment Ed Walsh President Mira Development (Formerly of Lyme Properties)

  12. Kendall Square Introduction • 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

  13. Kendall Square Site • 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

  14. Kendall Square Historic Use (1870-1998) • 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) K

  15. Kendall Square Contamination from Historic Activities • 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)

  16. Kendall Square Master Plan • 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)

  17. Kendall Square Master Plan Drivers • 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

  18. Remedial Drivers Permanent Solution Neighborhood Impacts Cost & Schedule Compatibility Ability to Obtain Financing Environmental Liability Insurance Kemper & Zurich (1st & 3rd Party Coverage w/ Re-opener) $20 MM/10 Year Term Phase I Remediation $11 MM Soil Premium RAO Filed 2002 No AUL Phase II Remediation $8 Million for In Situ Stabilization Three pRAOs filed in 2002 Three AULs filed in 2002 Two pRAOs filed in 2004 One AUL filed in 2004 $6.5 Million Premium for Soil Disposal on Building B Garage Kendall Square Summary of Remedial Program

  19. Kendall Square Development Summary • Land Acquisition: $21,000,000 or ~ $15/FAR SF • Remediation Costs (hard & soft cost): $25,000,000 or ~$18/FAR SF • Site Development/Infrastructure/Open Space Areas (soft & hard costs): $20,000,000 or ~$15/FAR SF • Total Pre-Construction (garage & infrastructure) Costs: $70,000,000 or ~$50/FAR SF • Comparable Value – Clean Site w/ Permits & Infrastructure: ~$65/FAR SF • Permitting and Environmental Risk: $15/FAR SF

  32. Kendall Square Remediation Strategy in Support of Redevelopment

  33. 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)

  34. Kendall Square Excavation Summary • 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
