Re: Phase I, Tier Classification & Phase II Conceptual SOW availability
789 East Street in Mansfield, Massachusetts
Release Tracking Number 4-27774
This is to advise that response actions relative to the above referenced release have been initiated in
accordance with Massachusetts Department EP regulations. A Phase I, Tier Classification & Phase II
Conceptual Scope of Work (SOW) submittal has been filed and is available for review at the MassDEP
website on-line file viewer (http://db.state.ma.us/dep/cleanup/sites/search.asp).
An unknown volume of # 2 fuel oil was released into the basement and exterior of a residence. A majority
of the fuel migrated over a concrete slab in the basement and continued to migrate to the subsurface
through foundation wall joints in the slab and an opening in the slab for a municipal water line. The line
was not impacted by the release but sandy soil below the slab was affected. Fuel pooled on the
groundwater table that is located approximately forty inches below the basement floor slab. Soil was
affected below a storage tank vent pipe located below a wooden deck on the exterior of the residence.
Fuel was removed from the groundwater table using a vacuum truck. All assessable soil was excavated
and removed from the Site. Groundwater was impacted above drinking water levels but no product
remains on the groundwater surface. Indoor air appears to be consistent with air at residences that use fuel
oil but have not had a release of fuel oil. The Site is classified as Tier I.
