DOA Demolition Memo

The document provides background information on the new State Archive Preservation Facility project. It will be located at 204 S. Thornton Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin on the site of the current Central Services Building, which will be demolished. An environmental assessment was conducted and concluded the project would not significantly affect the environment. To address community concerns about potential groundwater contamination, dust, noise, and traffic, erosion control plans will be followed and the building will be removed in sections while keeping areas wet to reduce dust. Demolition is scheduled to begin on August 31, 2015 and conclude in January 2016, with construction of the new facility to begin shortly thereafter.

State Archive Preservation Facility


Background
The new State Archive Preservation Facility will be located at 204 S. Thornton Avenue (formerly 201 S. Dickinson
Street). The facility currently located on this site (DOAs Central Services Building) will be removed without any major
disruption to the surrounding neighbors or businesses.
An independent environmental assessment (EA) was prepared by Ayres Associates related to this project and the
demolition of the existing facility. Based on this EA it has been concluded that this project is not a major action which
will significantly affect the quality of human environment, as such an environment impact study was not needed. It is
important to note that the EA did identify and study a number of issues that were raised by members of the
community related to the demolition of the existing facility including:
Potential groundwater/soil contaminants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and residual contaminants)
The effect on the Yahara River
Noise
Dust
The effect on the adjacent bike paths
Actions taken to address community concerns
To address potential groundwater/soil contaminates DOAs contractors will be following an erosion control plan,
which includes daily monitoring and reporting of the containment barriers. The reports will be provided to the DNR
as needed throughout the project. Additionally, an independent consultant engineer will be ensuring the contractor
follows this process. The erosion control plan will include provisions to mitigate runoff outside of the site and any
subsequent adverse impact on the Yahara River.
To reduce dust and noise as much as possible DOAs contractors will be taking the following precautions:
They will be preforming the appropriate asbestos abatement including dust barriers
The building will be removed in piecesthere will be no wrecking ball or explosives
Air quality tests will periodically be performed
During deconstruction, sections of the building will be kept wet, which will substantially reduce dust (water
runoff will be contained per the erosion control plan)
In order to ensure safety, and address traffic concerns, the main construction vehicle access to the site will be off
Dickenson Street. Additionally, the contractors will provide traffic control at adjacent streets, bike paths, and
pedestrian walkways.
What to expect in the future
As the existing facility is demolished, the goal is to move forward in a safe way that does not adversely affect
neighbors or area businesses. With this goal in mind, the site will be fully secured by a fence. All debris will be
collected onsite within the fence and then moved offsite in a way that is not disruptive to surrounding residents or
businesses.
Demolition is scheduled to begin on August 31, 2015 and is scheduled to conclude in January of 2016. Construction
of the new facility will begin shortly thereafter.
