Gentlemen:
On December 22, 1992, your consultant (as used in this letter "you" and
"your" refer to Hatheway & Patterson Co., Inc.), Penney Engineering, Inc.,
notified the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Waste Site
Cleanup (the "Department") of the presence of free -phase floating product in
monitoring wells MW-6 and MW-12, and of the release of product to surface
waters in the wetlands lying south of MW-12. A visit to the Site by the
Department on January 5, 1992, confirmed these conditions.
Conditions at the Site require additional Short Term Measures pursuant
to 310 CMR 40.542(2)(f).
NECESSARY SITE ACTIONS
The undertaking of additional Short Term Measures must be preceded by
the submittal and the approval under 310 CMR 40.536(2) of a Short Term
Measure Proposal as described under 310 CMR 40.542(3)(b). Please be aware
that a health and safety plan must be compiled and implemented in accordance
with 310 CMR 40.542(3)(d).
A Short Term Measure Proposal needs to include the information needed to
chose and design the Short Term Measures. It should include:
(i) A description of the data required to define (a) the hydrogeology
of the Site, (b) the extent, nature and volume of separate -phase
adsorbed and free-floating contaminants, and (c) the appropriate
remedial actions needed to remove promptly the remaining separate -
phase contaminants at the Site.
A work plan to acquire this data, including drilling and monitoring
procedures and protocols, sampling plans for all media, field
screening and analytical protocols, gauging plans, bench and pilot

studies of appropriate remedial actions, and a schedule.
Contingency plans may be necessary to manage additional exploratory
drilling and monitoring should the assessment undertaken fail to
reach the objectives identified in item (i).
An interpretation of site conditions supported by compilations of
data including borehole logs and completion diagrams, stratigraphic
profiles, contaminant tables, maps and graphs, and vertical and
areal flow nets.
The Department requires that:
(a) You submit for approval a Short Term Measure Proposal dealing with
the assessment required at the Site (items (i) through (iii) above)
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter.
(b) You submit for Department approval a Short Term Measure Design that
includes the results of your assessment and your plans for Short
Term Measures within thirty (30) days of Department approval of the
Short Term Measure Proposal (item (a) above).
(c) You complete the construction and activate the Short Term Measures
within thirty (30) days of Department approval of the Short Term
Measure Design (item (b) above).
(d) You submit within sixty (60) days of Department approval of the
Short Term Measure Design (item (b) above) a report that fully
documents the Short Term Measures as built in conformance with 310
CMR 40.542 and this letter. This report will be followed by
monthly reports that monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the
Short Term Measures.
The Department requires a written response within fourteen (14) days of
your receipt of this letter indicating whether you intend to take the actions
outlined above.
You should be aware that these short term measures do not relieve you
from undertaking a full Phase II - Comprehensive Site Assessment. However,
the Short Term Measures can contribute greatly to the assessment and
remediation of the Site.
You have been previously notified of your liability in the Notice of
Responsibility letter dated August 16, 1988.
