INTRODUCTION
EnviroTrac Ltd. (EnviroTrac) prepared this Release Abatement Measure (RAM) Completion
Statement on behalf of Hess Corporation (Hess). A RAM Plan was submitted to the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) on July 3, 2012 for the
management of potentially impacted soil encountered during the planned repair of an
existing on-site wastewater disposal system (septic system). This RAM Completion Report
was prepared pursuant to provisions of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) set forth
at 310 CMR 40.0446.
For the purpose of this RAM Completion Statement, the Facility is defined as the area
located within the legal property boundaries of the Hess-branded retail petroleum station
located at 35 G.A.R. Highway (U.S. Route 6) in Swansea, Massachusetts. The Disposal Site
is defined as the portion of Facility where oil and/or hazardous material have come to be
located as a result of a release at the Facility. The Disposal Site was identified by MassDEP
with Release Tracking Number (RTN) 4-22576.
2.0
DISPOSAL SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The following is a description of the Disposal Site and vicinity, including potential sensitive
receptors and soil and groundwater categories applicable to the Disposal Site.
2.1
Disposal Site Location
The Disposal Site occupies the southwest portion of the property located at 35 GAR Highway
in Swansea, Massachusetts. The Town of Swansea Assessor’s Office identifies the Facility
with as Parcel ID 292/065.0-0015-0000.0. The Facility is located in a mixed-use commercial
and residential area of Swansea and within an area zoned by the Town of Swansea as
“Business B.”
The Disposal Site is located at Latitude 41° 44' 17" North and Longitude 71° 11' 15" West.
The Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates of the Disposal Site are 4,623,370 meters
(m) North and 318,080 m East. A Locus Map, based on the United States Geological Survey
Fall River and Somerset, Massachusetts, Massachusetts topographic quadrangles, is
provided as Figure 1.
2.2
Disposal Site Description
The Facility consists of an irregularly-shaped 1.31-acre parcel of land. The Facility is the
location of a former DB Mart retail petroleum station and was redeveloped as a Hessbranded retail petroleum station between October 2008 and January 2009. A single-story
convenience store building is situated near the center of Facility with paved dispenser islands
to the east and west, and an underground storage tank (UST) pad with three 10,000-gallon
single-walled cathodically-protected steel gasoline USTs on the northwestern portion of the
Facility. A storage shed and dumpster are located on the northeastern portion of the Facility.

November 14, 2012
Based on soil and groundwater data obtained during investigations completed in 2010, 2011,
and 2012, the northern boundary of the Disposal Site extends from MW-101 near the
western side of the Facility, northeasterly beyond monitoring MW-103. The southern
boundary extends from MW-102 easterly beyond MW-202. The easterly to northeasterly
extent of the Disposal Site has not been defined to date. The depth of the Disposal Site
ranges from approximately 2 to 15 feet below ground surface (bgs). The Disposal Site
boundary, as it has been defined to date, is depicted on Figure 2.
2.3
On-Site Receptors
Two to four site workers are present at the Facility during operating hours. Employees are
adults working shifts of up to approximately 40 hours per week. Visitors include adults and
children occasionally present at the Facility for short periods (less than 15 minutes) on an
occasional basis. Trespassers are present at the Facility at a frequency less than visitors.
Workers and visitors do not come in contact with soil or groundwater at the Disposal Site.
Construction workers and utility workers may have contact with soil and groundwater during
excavation.
2.4
Utilities
A review of available plans, and review of reports previously prepared for the Disposal Site
identified the following structures and utilities that exist at and adjacent to the Facility.
Electric and Telephone
Overhead electric and telephone lines are located adjacent to the Facility along the north
side of GAR Highway. Pole-mounted transformers are located on a utility pole located south
of the dispensers. No evidence of leakage from the transformers was observed. The Facility
is serviced by underground electric and overhead telephone lines which extend from the
poles located south of the dispensers towards the front center of the building. Numerous
underground electrical conduits are present at the Facility for the USTs, dispensers, and
outdoor lights. Information regarding depths and construction of the electrical utilities at the
Facility was not available.
Propane Gas
The Facility is serviced by a propane fired heating unit. The propane gas is supplied to the
heating unit via an underground line extending to the north of the Facility building from a
propane aboveground storage tank (AST). Information regarding the depth of the propane
gas line is not known; however, gas lines are typically buried at depths of 3 to 4 feet below
ground surface (bgs).
Water
The Facility is serviced by a municipal water system line (Swansea Water District) which
extends to the Facility building from a main located beneath GAR Highway. Information
regarding the depth of the water lines is not known; however, water lines are typically buried
at depths of 4 to 5 feet bgs. No drinking water wells were identified at the Facility, and no
public water supply wells are located within one mile of the Facility. The Swansea Water
Page 2
Release Abatement Measure Completion Report

November 14, 2012
District obtains water from 11 active groundwater wells which are located more than one mile
north and northwest of the Disposal Site.
Sanitary Wastewater
A septic system is in use at the Facility. The Town of Swansea does not operate a sanitary
sewer system. A septic tank, distribution box, and leaching field are located east of the
Facility building, and north of the pump islands.
Storm Water and Drainage
A catch basin is located east of the Facility along GAR Highway. A storm drainage culvert is
located under the bridge, which discharges to Lee’s River. No storm water drainage
structures are located at the Facility.
Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning
As stated above, the Facility building is heated utilizing a propane-fired heating unit, supplied
by an AST located north of the Facility building. The Facility building is cooled utilizing
electrically powered central air conditioning.
2.5
Surrounding Properties
Land surrounding the Disposal Site is developed, and is used for commercial and residential
purposes. The Disposal Site is bordered by the following:
2.6

North: Lee’s River, approximately 50 feet north of the Facility.

South: GAR Highway (Route 6), beyond which are residential properties.

East: Lee’s River, approximately 50 feet east of the Facility. Beyond Lee’s River are
residential and commercial properties in the Town of Somerset.

West: Restaurant and banquet facility.
Residential Population
Residential properties are located within 500 feet of the Disposal Site. No primary or
secondary schools, daycare facilities, hospitals, medical centers, or elderly care facilities
were observed within approximately 1,000 feet of the Disposal Site.
Based on U.S. Census Bureau information available at http://www.census.gov, the 2010
populations of the Towns of Swansea and Somerset were 15,979 and 18,218, respectively.
Assuming a uniform population distribution over a combined land area of 31.1 square miles,
approximately 864 persons reside within one-half mile of the Disposal Site.
2.7
Institutions
The MCP at 310 CMR 40.0006 defines an Institution as any publicly or privately owned
hospital, health care facility, orphanage, nursing home, convalescent home, or educational
Page 3
Release Abatement Measure Completion Report

facility, where such facility, in whole or in part, provides overnight housing. No Institution was
identified within 500 feet of the Disposal Site.
2.8
Natural Resources
As depicted on the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map
panel 25005C0331F, dated June 7, 2009, the Disposal Site is located within the 100 year
floodplain.
.
Lee’s River is located approximately 50 feet north and east of the Disposal Site. The
Massachusetts Geographic Information System (MassGIS) Site Scoring Map (Figure 3)
shows the Disposal Site is not located within 500 feet of an Area of Critical Environmental
Concern, Sole Source Aquifer, Zone II of a public water supply well, Interim Wellhead
Protection Area, Zone A of a Class A Surface Water Body, Potentially Productive Aquifer, or
habitats of Species of Special Concern or Threatened Endangered Species. The Disposal
Site is located within the 100-year floodplain of Lee’s River. Wetlands and tidal flats are
located along the northern and eastern borders of the Facility, abutting Lee’s River. A
Protected Open Space is located approximately 1,700 feet northeast of the Disposal Site.
2.9
Private Wells
Based on information obtained from the Towns of Swansea and Somerset Health
Departments, no private drinking water supply wells are known to be located within 500 feet
of the Disposal Site.
2.10
Groundwater Classification
Based on the information presented in Sections 2.8 and 2.9 above, the Disposal Site is not
located within a Current or Potential Drinking Water Source Area. Therefore, groundwater at
the Disposal Site is not classified GW-1. As set forth in the MCP at 310 CMR 40.0932,
groundwater less than 15 feet below ground surface (bgs) in areas within 30 feet of an
occupied structure is classified GW-2. The average depth to the water table at the Disposal
Site is less than 15 feet bgs and is therefore classified GW-2. Groundwater throughout
Massachusetts is considered a potential source of discharge to surface water and is
classified GW-3.
In summary, the groundwater classifications currently applicable to the Disposal Site are
GW-2 and GW-3.
2.11
Soil Classification
Three categories of soil, based on the accessibility of soil to potential receptors, and
frequency and intensity of site use, are defined in the MCP at 310 CMR 40.0933. Based on
current Disposal Site activities and use, the primary potential human receptors are adult
workers and adult and child visitors. The frequency of use by adult workers is expected to be
high with an expected low intensity of use. The frequency of use by adult and child visitors is
expected to be low, with an expected low intensity of use. Other potential human receptors
include construction and utility workers (low frequency and high intensity of use).

November 14, 2012
The accessibility of soil is dependent on the depth of the soil and whether it underlies
pavement or a building or permanent structure. In consideration of the receptors identified
above, and since the majority of the Disposal Site is paved or covered by permanent
structures, according to the MassDEP soil category selection matrix (310 CMR 40.0933(9)),
soil at depths of grade to 15 feet outside the footprint of buildings is Potentially Accessible
Soil (S-3). Soil underlying buildings, and at depths of greater than 15 feet, is Isolated
Subsurface Soil (also S-3).
MassDEP developed health risk-based standards for soil in consideration of soil categories
and groundwater classifications. The soil standards applicable for the Disposal Site for
current uses are S-3 with GW-2/ GW-3. Applicable soil standards protective of all
foreseeable Disposal Site uses, in the context of evaluations for conditions of No Significant
Risk (NSR), are S-1 with GW-2/GW-3, unless an Activity and Use Limitation is implemented.
3.0
RELEASE HISTORY
According to historical reports, three gasoline USTs were installed at the Facility in 1974.
Lincoln Environmental, Inc. (Lincoln) performed a Type B Assessment (U.S. EPA Natural
Resource Damage Assessment Report) at the Facility in March 1997. The assessment
included the advancement of four soil borings, three of which were completed as monitoring
wells (MW-1 through MW-3). A Type B Assessment Report was submitted to MassDEP by
DB Companies, Inc. on April 22, 1997. The Type B Assessment Report stated no volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) were detected in groundwater or soil samples above applicable
Reportable Concentrations. Based on analytical data, the report documented MassDEP
notification and further investigations were not required.
3.1
RTN 4-20351
C. White & Sons, Inc. submitted a Class A-1 Response Action Outcome Statement (Class A1 RAO) to MassDEP on May 15, 2007. The Class A-1 RAO stated that a release of gasoline
occurred at the Facility on February 24, 2007 when the fill line from a C. White tanker
separated at an elbow fitting on the connector to the UST fill port during filling of the gasoline
USTs. The line separation was attributed to a loose fitting and faulty gasket inside the
discharge line. The released gasoline affected an area measuring approximately 50 feet long
by 10 feet wide on asphalt pavement and the concrete surface of the UST pad at the
northwestern portion of the Facility. No storm drains, catch basins, or other subsurface utility
vaults were identified in the release area. The surficial release was contained by asphalt
curbing at the perimeter of the paved area. No impact to exposed soils located beyond the
curbing was identified. The sudden release of 10 to 15 gallons of gasoline constituted a 2hour notification criterion to MassDEP. Upon notification, MassDEP assigned RTN 4-20351
to the release and verbally authorized an Immediate Response Action (IRA) consisting of
deployment of absorbent and containment materials. All released gasoline was recovered by
the absorbents applied in the release area.
3.2
RTN 4-22576
On April 26, 2010, following a complaint of low flow through the premium lines by the station
manager, the premium gasoline line at the Disposal Site failed a tightness test. A leak
detection alarm was activated for a single-walled gasoline dispensing line at the Facility. The
Page 5
Release Abatement Measure Completion Report
Hess Station #21221, 35 G.A.R. Highway Swansea, MA RTN 4-22576
November 14, 2012
tightness test failure constituted a TOR and a 72-hour notification criterion to MassDEP. On
behalf of Hess, EnviroTrac provided notification of the TOR to MassDEP on April 26, 2010.
At the time of notification, MassDEP issued RTN 4-22576 to Hess for the TOR and verbally
authorized an IRA consisting of dewatering if necessary, excavation of up to 100 cubic yards
of soil around the premium gasoline UST line, and repair of the line. The premium gasoline
line was taken out of service until repairs could be made.
On April 26, 2010, a manhole, a drain and one monitoring well (LEI-2) were found on the
Facility property and screened using a photoionization detector (PID) by an EnviroTrac
scientist. One catch basin was observed approximately 200 feet east of the Disposal Site,
on GAR Highway. No other catch basins or manholes were observed near the Disposal Site.
Headspace readings of below the instrument detection limit (BDL) of 0.5 parts per million by
volume (ppmv) were obtained within the manhole, the drain, monitoring well and catch basin.
Lee’s River is located approximately 50 feet north and east of the Disposal Site. No visual
evidence of impacted vegetation or water was observed along the riverbanks adjacent to the
Disposal Site.
An EnviroTrac scientist was present at the Disposal Site during Response Actions. On April
27, 2010, helium testing was conducted to identify the location of the line leak. A 3-foot by 3foot hole was cut into the concrete mat adjacent to Dispenser #4 and excavated to a depth of
approximately 1.5 feet bgs to expose the gasoline line in the suspected area of the leak.
EnviroTrac screened excavated material, which consisted of backfill sand with some
peastone for petroleum hydrocarbons using a PID and obtained readings ranging from 12.7
ppmv to 79.8 ppmv. This was not the location of the leak. LaMountain Bros., Inc. of Oxford,
Massachusetts determined the gasoline line connections from elbow fittings approximately
three feet from the edge of the concrete pad to the dispensers were made of a rubber-based
material which was not compatible with gasoline containing ethanol. Minor leaks were
observed in these lines. The remaining two gasoline lines were taken out of service upon
this determination.
A second 3-foot by 2-foot hole was cut in the concrete mat adjacent to Dispenser #5 and
excavated to a depth of approximately two feet bgs to expose the gasoline supply lines.
EnviroTrac screened excavated material, which consisted of backfill sand with some
peastone and obtained PID readings ranging from 71.5 ppmv to 1,604 ppmv. This was the
location of the damaged line.
A third 3-foot by 2-foot hole was cut into the concrete mat adjacent to Dispenser #2 and
excavated to a depth of approximately two feet bgs to expose the gasoline lines. EnviroTrac
screened excavated material, which consisted of backfill sand with some peastone, and
obtained PID readings ranging from 43.0 ppmv to 269 ppmv.
One soil sample was obtained from the bottom of each excavation and submitted to Accutest
Laboratories of Marlborough, Massachusetts (Accutest) for analysis of volatile petroleum
hydrocarbons (VPH). The locations of the excavations and the soil samples (S-1 through S3) are depicted on the Site Plan (Figure 2).
On April 27 and April 28, 2010, each section of the gasoline lines constructed of rubber
material was replaced with flexible stainless steel piping and plastic flexible piping for
secondary containment. All lines leading from the USTs to the dispensers subsequently
tested tight, and were returned to service. The three excavations were backfilled on April 29,

November 14, 2012
2010. Approximately 1.9 cubic yards of backfill sand with some peastone was excavated
during Response Actions and was managed as Remediation Waste.
Hess submitted a Phase I Initial Site Investigation (Phase I ISI) to MassDEP on April 25,
2011. As stated in the Phase I ISI, on February 23 and 24, 2011, three soil borings
(completed as monitoring wells MW-101, MW-102, and MW-103) and two soil gas points
(SGP-1 and SGP-2) were installed at the Disposal Site. The monitoring wells were
advanced to depths ranging from 15 to 19 feet bgs. During drilling, bedrock was encountered
along the southern portion of the Facility (adjacent to GAR Highway) and east of the Facility
building (north of the dispensers). During pre-clearing activities, refusals were encountered
at depths ranging from 1.5 to 3 feet bgs. A bedrock outcrop is visible south of the Facility on
the southern side of GAR Highway. Based on visual field observations, the bedrock is most
likely slightly metamorphosed shale, but not quite slate. Soil samples were collected from
each soil boring and were screened with a PID in accordance with MassDEP Jar Headspace
procedures. PID readings ranged from BDL to 448.0 ppmv. VPH compounds were detected
in soil above applicable standards.
Quarterly groundwater monitoring events were conducted beginning in March 2011 and most
recently in July 2012. VPH compounds were detected in groundwater in select wells above
GW-3 standards.
On May 23, 2012, Technical Drilling Services of Sterling, Massachusetts installed three
additional monitoring wells (MW-201 through MW-203) at the Facility to a maximum depth of
20 feet bgs. During drilling, an EnviroTrac scientist screened soil samples for total organic
vapors (TOVs) using the MassDEP Jar Headspace Method with a PID fitted with a 10.6
electron volt lamp. TOV readings ranged from BDL to 1,415 ppmv. During installation, soil
samples were collected from MW-202 at depth intervals ranging from five to 19 feet bgs and
collected from MW-203 at depth intervals ranging from five to 25 feet bgs. Soil samples were
submitted to Accutest for analysis of VPH. Additionally, samples were collected for bulk
density, sieve analysis, and total organic carbon analyses for geotechnical assessment.
Petroleum hydrocarbons were not detected above applicable Method 1 S-1 standards in the
soil samples collected during the May 2012 drilling event.
The closest surface water body (Lee’s River) is located approximately 50 feet north and east
of the Disposal Site. Groundwater monitoring wells located downgradient of the source area
contain concentrations of xylenes above applicable Method 1 GW-3 standards. Based on the
distance to Lee’s River, and the concentrations of xylenes in groundwater, current or
potential impacts to surface water from the Disposal Site have not been ruled out. Additional
investigations are planned to determine to identify whether current or potential impacts to
surface water from the Disposal Site exist or are likely.
The Phase I ISI included a Tier II Classification of the Disposal Site and stated that additional
Response Actions are necessary to attain NSR.
On May 23, 2012, under the supervision of an EnviroTrac scientist, three soil borings
(completed as monitoring wells MW-201, MW-202, and MW-203) were installed by Technical
Drilling Services, Inc. of Sterling, Massachusetts (TDS) at the Disposal Site. The monitoring
wells were advanced to depths ranging from 16 to 20 feet bgs. During drilling, bedrock was
encountered at two feet bgs at MW-201 (along the southern portion of the Facility). MW-201
was completed as a bedrock well and no soil samples were collected as a result. Soil
Page 7

November 14, 2012
samples were collected from MW-202 and MW-203 and were screened with a PID in
accordance with MassDEP Jar Headspace procedures. PID readings ranged from BDL to
1,415 ppmv. VPH compounds detected in soil met applicable standards at all locations.
One monitoring well (MW-204) and two piezometers were installed at the Facility on
September 4, 2012. MW-204 was installed in bedrock adjacent to the dispenser island and
the new septic system to replace MW-102, which was destroyed during installation of the
septic system. Piezometers PZ-2 and PZ-3 were installed north and east and downgradient
of MW-202 and MW-203 to delineate the extent of the Disposal Site. PZ-1 was planned
north of MW-203 but could not be installed at a sufficient depth to encounter groundwater,
and the attempted installation was abandoned. No soil samples could be obtained during
drilling due to poor recovery.

RELEASE ABATEMENT MEASURE
The objective of the RAM was to manage potentially impacted soil that would be
encountered during the planned repair of the septic system. The RAM, including Licensed
Site Professional (LSP) oversight, was limited to soil excavation related to the septic system
repair. No other activities were included in the RAM and no LSP oversight was provided for
activities outside the scope of the RAM.
Based on the location of the septic system repair within the boundaries of the Disposal Site,
the RAM was also conducted in consideration of Policy 00-425, Construction of Buildings in
Contaminated Areas (MassDEP, January 2000). The construction activities covered by the
RAM were limited to the repair of the septic system. As such, no additional occupied
structures were constructed above the Disposal Site and the potential cost of repairing the
septic system is considered de minimis to the overall remediation costs to the Disposal Site.
As such, a full evaluation under Policy 00-425 was not required.
Excavation of the existing septic system, which extended east from the convenient store
towards Lee River, was initiated on July 9, 2012 by LaMountain Bros., Inc. of Oxford,
Massachusetts (LaMountain). An EnviroTrac scientist observed the removal of the septic
tank. During excavation, the scientist screened soil with a PID in accordance with MassDEP
Jar Headspace screening procedures. Headspace screening PID readings ranged from 1.5
to 5.3 ppmv. On July 10, 2012, a soil sample was obtained from the bottom of the former
septic tank at a depth of 7 to 8 feet bgs. The PID reading of the July 10 sample was 109.9
ppmv. The soil sample was submitted to Accutest for VPH analysis. A copy of the laboratory
report for the soil sample is provided in Attachment A. Analytical data are summarized in
Table 1. The sample location is depicted on the Site Plan (Figure 2).
While attempting to excavate for the installation of the new septic tank and leach field,
bedrock was encountered at approximately 4 to 5 feet bgs. Continued excavation revealed
bedrock at this depth throughout the area for the proposed new leach field. An EnviroTrac
scientist screened soil during the excavation. PID readings ranged from 1.7 to 36 ppmv.
On July 10, 2012, LaMountain performed a test pit for an alternate location of the leach field
approximately 25 feet east of the former proposed location. Bedrock was encountered at
approximately 7 feet bgs, sufficiently deep for the installation of the leach field and
associated components; however, the new location of the leach field contained MW-102. As

November 14, 2012
a result, MW-102 would be destroyed and the proposed leach field location presented to the
Swansea Town Engineer, Board of Health, and Conservation Commission.
An EnviroTrac scientist screened soil during the test pit excavation. PID readings ranged
from 38 to 209 ppmv. A soil sample was obtained from the bottom of the test pit at
approximately 7 feet bgs. The sample headspace reading was 44 ppmv. The soil sample
was submitted to Accutest for VPH analysis. A copy of the laboratory report for the soil
sample is provided in Attachment A. Analytical data are summarized in Table 1. The
sample location is depicted on the Site Plan (Figure 2).
On July 11, 2012, LaMountain, using a hydraulic hammer and excavator, destroyed and
removed bedrock to an approximate depth of 7 to 8 feet bgs to allow for the installation of the
new septic tank. Soil and weathered bedrock screenings with a PID was performed during
excavation. PID readings ranged from 1.2 to 6.7 ppmv.
With approval from the Swansea Town Engineer, Board of Health, and Conservation
Commission, excavation of the leach field was initiated on July 12, 2012 and continued until
July 17, 2012. An EnviroTrac scientist observed the excavation on each day and screened
soil using a PID. PID headspace readings ranged from BDL to 4,456 ppmv (taken at or about
the former location of MW-102, consistent with previously obtained data). On July 13, 2012,
two soil samples were obtained from the leach field excavation at a depth of approximately 8
feet bgs. The samples were submitted to Accutest for VPH analysis. On July 16, 2012, two
soil samples were obtained from the leach field excavation at depths of approximately 4 to 7
feet bgs. PID headspace readings of these samples were 262 and 339 ppmv. The samples
were submitted to Accutest for VPH analysis. Copies of the laboratory reports for the soil
samples obtained on July 13 and 16, 2012 are provided in Attachment A. Analytical data
are summarized in Table 1. The sample locations are depicted on the Site Plan (Figure 2).
On July 17, 2012, an EnviroTrac scientist screened stockpiled soil that remained after the
completion of excavation activities with a PID. PID headspace readings ranged from BDL to
2.1 ppmv.
5.0
DISCUSSION OF DATA
Soil that was excavated during the removal and replacement of the septic tank from July 9
through July 11 was stockpiled on-site on and under 6-millimeter thick polyethylene sheeting
until its removal on July 12. All soil removed from the Disposal Site was transported under a
Bill of Lading (BOL) to the Environmental Soil Management, Inc. (ESMI) facility in Loudon,
New Hampshire for thermal processing. A copy of the completed BOL is provided in
Attachment B. As shown on the BOL, approximately 771 tons of soil was removed from the
Facility.
As stated above in Section 4.0, PID readings for soil samples obtained from the excavations
ranged from BDL to 4,456 ppmv. As summarized in Table 1, no Contaminants of Concern
(COCs) were detected above applicable MCP Method 1 soil standards during the septic
system replacement.

November 14, 2012
Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) data included in the laboratory reports meet
the criteria set forth for Presumptive Certainty in the MassDEP Compendium of Analytical
Methods.
With respect to field QA/QC, the soil samples were obtained using standard operating
procedures and managed under chain-of-custody.
Based on the foregoing, a review of field practices, and a review of the laboratory reports, it
is the opinion of the LSP named herein that the analytical data obtained from the soil
samples collected during the RAM meet the criteria set forth by MassDEP for Presumptive
Certainty, and are therefore considered usable.
6.0
MANAGEMENT OF REMEDIATION WASTE
Between July 12 and July 20, ESMI removed approximately 771 tons of non-hazardous, soil
to Loudon, New Hampshire for disposal. Refer to Attachment B for a copy of the
Remediation Waste disposal documentation.
7.0
ONGOING ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE RELEASE ABATEMENT MEASURE
Response actions will continue as comprehensive measures under RTN 4-22576.
8.0
CONCLUSIONS
All RAM activities were completed as of July 27, 2012 and all RAM objectives were met. All
Remediation Waste was appropriately managed during the RAM, and all excavations were
backfilled. The RAM is therefore considered complete.
