    City of Cohoes Cohoes Boulevard BOA Nomination Study SECTION 3 – INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS OF THE BOA NYS DEC Remedial Sites Two sites located within the Cohoes Boulevard BOA currently participate in NYS DEC remedial programs. Both sites are former or existing MGP sites and are enlisted in the Voluntary Cleanup Program. Byproducts from coal gas production are likely of concern at these locations. x Site 1: 8 Linden Avenue – Former MGP Site This site is located on Linden Street near Route 787 North. The Mohawk River borders the site on the east, and Route 787 forms the western boundary. The property is currently vacant, and is surrounded primarily by residential properties. A Remedial Investigation (RI) and Supplemental RI program were completed by early 2007 to delineate contamination at the site. Data gaps required additional investigation at the site and a comprehensive RI report was anticipated during the fall of 2009. Known site contamination includes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX). There are known exceedences of both PAHs and BTEXs in the soil and groundwater at the site. The river is additionally being evaluated to assess potential impacts from site contamination. Depending on the level of on-site remediation, it is likely that environmental easements will be placed on the property severely limiting the potential redevelopment of the property for residential or commercial uses. The site’s strategic location along the Mohawk River and proximity to downtown Cohoes presents an opportunity for a waterfront park with canoe and kayak access to the whitewater run that is located along the eastern boundary of the property.

    City of Cohoes Cohoes Boulevard BOA Nomination Study SECTION 3 – INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS OF THE BOA x The former Egberts & Bailey Mill site; x The “First Power Mill” site x City Hall; x St. Bernard’s Church; x Joshua R. Clarke House; x David Van Auken House; x William Moore House; x First Baptist Church; x Vineyard Community Church; and x United Church of Cohoes. Olmsted Street Historic District This district is directly adjacent to the Downtown Cohoes Historic District, but covers only four acres. Located along two blocks of Olmsted Street, this district is representative of the City's economy at its peak during the mid- to late 19th century. Within this district is a former textile mill complex (Ogden Mill), a section of the original Erie Canal (now filled-in), and three blocks of row houses constructed for millworkers. The mill was used to manufacture clothing until late into the 20th century and has recently been converted into a mixed-use complex with apartments, retail and office space. The three blocks of row houses are now used to provide affordable housing through the Section 8 program. The Olmsted Street Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Harmony Mills Historic District Although this historic district covers almost 200 acres, only 1.5 acres fall within the Study Area. When it opened in 1872, Harmony Mills was located along the Mohawk River and the old Erie Canal and was the largest cotton mill complex in the world. The Harmony Mills Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978; it was further declared a National Historic Landmark in 1999.
