Activity and Use Limitation Opinion
Mercantile Buildings of Amherst, Inc.
45 South Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA 01002
DEP RTN: 1-10552
In accordance with the requirements of 310 CMR 40.1074 and 310
CMR 40.1081, this Activity and Use Limitation (AUL) Opinion has
been prepared for a portion of the land owned by Mercantile
Buildings of Amherst, A Corporation Sole located at 45 South
Pleasant Street in Amherst, Massachusetts. This AUL Opinion
replaces and supersedes the one contained in the Original AUL for
Release Tracking number 1-10552. The portion of the property
affected by the Original AUL and this Amendment is referred to as
the "AUL area" and is shown on a survey plan that was recorded in
the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds in Plan Book 4623, pp. 8990.
SITE HISTORY AND USAGE
The subject site is located in a mixed-use commercial and
residential area of Amherst on a commercial property that was
developed more than 50 years ago. The site has operated as a
retail store and parking area for at least the last fifty years.
A release of hydrocarbons from a former 3,000 gallon underground
#2 fuel oil tank was detected in 1994.
An Immediate Response
Action ("IRA") included the removal of nearly 15 cubic yards of
impacted soil during remedial measures conducted in 1994.
Initial and follow up soil borings and monitoring wells
documented remaining levels of hydrocarbons in soil and low
hydrocarbon release conditions in groundwater. These were
detailed in a Groundwater and Soil Assessment letter on December
2 7 th, 1994 and in a Response Action Outcome and Method I Risk
Assessment in January, 1995, by Cold Spring Environmental, Inc.
A paved pad currently overlies the area of the tank removal,
which makes the impacted soil only potentially accessible. As
defined by 310 CMR 40.0933, the frequency of exposure by children
to the soil is low, in that children are only present at
infrequent intervals and their intensity of use is low. While
the frequency of use by adults is high, their intensity of use is
low.
ACHIEVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF NO SIGNIFICANT RISK
The Method.1 Risk Assessment showed extractable petroleum
hydrocarbons present in site soils at concentrations exceeding
"Method 1, S-1 Concentrations" at depths of 5 to 10.5 feet.
Identified exposure pathways that present a risk to human health
consist of direct dermal contact or ingestion of these impacted
soils. However, no vapor migration or leaching was demonstrated
and the impacted area is not located adjacent to any basement

area. A paved pad overlies the area of the tank removal.
Because the impacted soils are in excess of three feet below
grade (below pavement), any potential exposures can be
eliminated, and a condition of No Significant Risk maintained,
through the implementation and maintenance of an AUL that
restricts access to the impacted soil. As such, we recommend
reliance on this AUL and the 'Method I Risk Assessment.
1. Permitted Activities and Uses Set forth in the AUL Opinion.
This AUL Opinion provides that condition of No Significant Risk
to health, safety, public welfare or the environment exists for
any foreseeable period of time pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0000 so
long as any of the following activities and uses occur in the AUL
area:,
a. Industrial, Commercial and Residential activities and
uses that are not inconsistent with the activities and uses
in section 2.
b. Such other activities and uses that; in the opinion of an
LSP, shall present no greater risk of harm to health,
safety, public welfare or the environment than the permitted
activities and uses set forth in this section.
c. Asphalt paving as noted in section 3 and use as a paved
surface drive or parking area.
d. Placement of subsurface utility lines as is consistent
with sections 2 and 3.
e. Periodic Maintenance of paved asphalt and above mentioned
utility lines, provided work is consistent with sections 2
and 3.
f. Such other activities and uses not identified below as
Activities and Uses Inconsistent with the AUL.
2. Activities and Uses Inconsistent with the AUL Opinion.
Activities and uses which are inconsistent with the objectives of
this AUL Opinion and which, if implemented in the AUL Area, may
result in significant risk of harm to health, safety, public
welfare or.the environment or in a substantial hazard, are as
follows:
a. Any activities or uses that involve direct contact,

disturbance, excavation or removal of impacted soil from
the AUL area below a depth of 3 feet 'from existing sitegrade (i.e. below the paved pad), are prohibited without
prior notification and approval of a Licensed Site
Professional.
3.
Obligations and Conditions Set Forth in the AUL Opinion.
The obligations and/or conditions to be undertaken and/or
maintained in the AUL Area to maintain a condition of No
Significant Risk as set forth in this AUL Opinion shall include
the following:.
a. Placement and maintenance of a continuous layer of
concrete or asphalt with a minimum thickness of three
inches over the AUL area.
The capping layer
zst be
maintained such that cracking and potting do not result
in a significant loss of integrity of the surface.
b. Future development and excavation performed under
"Permitted Activities and Uses" must be performed in
accordance with the requirements set forth in this
document.
I attest that I have personally examined and am familiar with the
information on which this LSP Opinion 'is based and, in my
professional judgement, this AUL Opinion complies with the
requirements for said opinions established under 310 CMR 40.1074

Dear Select Board Members:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that on March 20, 2003, an "Amendment and
Ratification of Notice of Activity and Use Limitation" ("AUL Amendment"), a copy of which is
enclosed, was recorded with the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds in Book 7103, page 23.
The AUL Amendment amends an earlier AUL recorded with the Hampshire County Registry in
Book 4623, page 84. The AUL affects a portion of the Mercantile Buildings of Amherst Inc.
property located at 45 South Pleasant Street, Amherst, Massachusetts 01002 (Department of
Environmental Protection Release Tracking No. 1-10552). The AUL Amendment identifies
certain activities and uses which are inconsistent with maintaining a condition of No Significant
Risk at the subject property. Such activities and uses are so identified in order to prevent
exposures to residual petroleum-contaminated soil located beneath a paved pad in the center of
the property. The AUL Amendment also identifies those activities and uses that are consistent
with maintaining a condition of No Significant Risk and those obligations and conditions
necessary to ensure that a condition of No Significant Risk continues to exist at the property for
the foreseeable future.
This public notification is being provided pursuant to the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (310
CMR 40.1090 and 310 CMR 40.1403(7)(a)). If you have any questions, please contact:

Notice of Audit Findings (NOAF) that identified errors in the Notice of Activity and Use
Limitation (AUL) filed in support of a Response Action Outcome (RAO) for the abovereferenced site. The NOAF established an Interim Deadline of January 30, 2002 for submitting
documentation of the required corrections to these errors, accompanied by a Post-Audit
Completion Statement (PACS). This is an enforceable Interim .Deadline issued pursuant to
M.G.L. c. 21E, 310 CMR 40.0167 and 310 CMR 40.1140. As of the date of this letter, the
Department has not received the required submittal, therefore, you are in violation of the
requirements of the MCP.
,
The activities that are in noncompliance and the additional actions the Department wants you to
take to come into compliance are described in the Notice of Noncompliance (Attachment A).
The Notice of Noncompliance describes: (1) each activity identified during the audit which is in
noncompliance, (2) the requirements violated, (3) the action the Department now wants you to
take, and (4) the deadline for taking this action.

RAO SCREENING REVIEW
SUMMARY OF AUL COMPLIANCE REVIEW
AUL FIELD INSPECTION AUDIT FINDING
Dear Mr. Hastings:
On February 7, 1995, the Department of Environmental Protection (the Department) received a
Class A-3 Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement and Activity & Use Limitation (AUL)
for the above-referenced site. On August 5, 1998, the Legislature enacted the "Brownfields Act"
which called on the Department to conduct targeted audits of sites at which AULs have been
implemented in order to ensure that these sites are meeting the requirements of Massachusetts'
laws and regulations, including Massachusetts General Law chapter 21E and the Massachusetts
Contingency Plan (MCP). The Department's audit of this site consisted of a RAO screening
review, an AUL compliance review, and an AUL field inspection to observe the condition of the
area subject to the AUL.
RESPONSE ACTION OUTCOME (RAO) SCREENING REVIEW
A screening review of the RAO was performed using a standard Department checklist.
Examples of the Department's checklists are available on the Internet at http://www.state.ma.us/
This information isavailable in alternate format by calling our ADA Coordinator at (617) 574-6872.

dep/bwsc/audits.htm. Based on the screening review of the RAO, the Department is not
directing you to undertake further response actions at this time with regard to the RAO. Please
note, however, that the review conducted by the Department on the RAO was not a ,
comprehensive audit, and the Department reserves the right to conduct a comprehensive audit of
the RAO at any time in the future. It is possible that a future audit of the RAO, if one occurs,
may identify deficiencies and/or violations of applicable laws and regulations, and may require
you to undertake further response actions at the site.
SUMMARY OF AUL COMPLIANCE REVIEW
The Department has established special procedures for reviewing AULs recorded on or before
October 29, 1999, including the AUL Notice instrument submitted as part of the RAO for your
site. Please note that these procedures do not apply to AULs recorded on or after October 30,
1999, and this Summary of AUL Compliance Review should not be relied upon to predict audit
results for such AULs.
Applying the procedures described above, the Department has identified an error in the AUL
Notice instrument that requires correction. Specifically:
* The AUL does not adequately define what uses and activities are permitted at the site
and what uses and activities are restricted. The AUL relies nearly exclusively upon
MCP terminology (i.e. frequency and intensity of use) to describe permitted and
restricted uses, without defining such terms and providing examples for clarification.
It is unclear, particularly to someone unfamiliar with the MCP, which categories of
uses are prohibited and which categories are permitted. The AUL must be more
specific in this regard. Additionally, it is inappropriate for an AUL to allow
excavation with notification of the Department as a point of contact. The LSP should
be the point of contact, rather than the Department. Also, the AUL restricts
"subsurface excavation" without identifying a specific depth below grade.
To correct this error, you must implement an Amendment and Ratification of Notice of Activity
and Use Limitation within 180 days of the date of this letter, using the enclosed form and
instructions. Please note that the AUL Opinion must be prepared and attached to the
Amendment and Ratification using form I 14S. In addition, a legal notice regarding the original
AUL and the AUL Amendment must be published in the local newspaper, and a copy of the
notice must be submitted to the Department. Alternatively, you may submit a new Response
Action Outcome (RAO) Statement within 180 days of the date of this letter, documenting the
achievement of a Class A-1, A-2 or B-1 RAO at the site (i.e. an RAO that does not rely on an
AUL to maintain a level of No Significant Risk). This is an enforceable Interim Deadline
issued pursuant to M.G.L. c. 21E, 310 CMR 40.0167 and 310 CMR 40.1140. If you do not meet
this deadline you will be subject to enforcement action by the Department. Please note that this
deadline relates only to AUL corrections.
The Department has prepared forms and detailed instructions for implementing the required
AUL corrections. Copies of the forms and instructions are attached, and are available on the

Department's AUL Audit Project web page, http//www.state.ma.us/dep/bwsc/files/audits/
aulfix.htm.
If you (and/or the LSP/attomey preparing your AUL corrections) would like assistance in
implementing the Amendment and Ratification of Notice of AUL, please call Catherine Wanat at
(413) 755-2241 to schedule the meeting.
The Department is also offering several training workshops in the next few months. The
Department recommends that you (and/or the LSP/attbrney preparing your AUL corrections)
attend one of these workshops if you have questions on how to proceed. The training schedule is
also available on the Department's AUL Audit Project web page. To obtain a schedule and/or
register for the workshops, contact Thomas Potter, DEP's Statewide Audit Coordinator at (617)
292-5628.
AUL FIELD INSPECTION AUDIT FINDING
On October 26, 1999, the Department conducted an AUL field inspection at the location
identified above to observe conditions related to the area subject to the AUL. In particular, the
AUL field inspection focused on activities and uses consistent with the terms and conditions of
the AUL and whether obligations and conditions required to maintain a condition of No
Significant Risk were being met. Abigail Kingman of the Department conducted the inspection.
It was observed that the AUL area was in use as a parking lot and that the pavement was in good
condition.
Please note that the obligations and conditions of the AUL state that the asphalt cover
must be maintained. The Department interprets this language to require maintenance of
the pavement over the entire AUL area. To remain in compliance with the AUL, the
pavement over the entire AUL area must be maintained. The site inspection confirmed
that the entire AUL area was covered with asphalt.
As a result of the site inspection, the Department did not identify any violations of the
requirements applicable to the AUL at the site.
LICENSED SITE PROFESSIONAL
A copy of this letter has been sent to Alan Weiss, LSP # 6442, the LSP-of-Record for the
disposal site.
LIMITATIONS & RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
Please note that the screening review conducted by the Department on the RAO was not a
comprehensive audit, and the Department reserves the right to conduct a comprehensive audit of
the RAO at any time in the future. It is possible that a future comprehensive audit, if one occurs,
may identify violations of applicable laws and regulations, may require you to undertake further
response actions at the site, and may invalidate the AUL. The screening review is not a

NOTICE OF AUDIT
Dear DONALD HASTINGS:
On August 5, 1998, the Legislature enacted the "Brownfields Act" which provides new incentives for parties
to clean up and reuse contaminated property in Massachusetts. The legislation also calls on the Department
of Environmental Protection to conduct targeted audits of all sites at which Activity and Use Limitations
("AULs") have been implemented. The goal of these audits is to determine whether response actions
performed at a site comply with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan, 310 CMR 40.0000 ("MCP"), and
Chapter 21E.
The Department's records indicate that on 2/7/95 a Class A3 Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement
and AUL were submitted for the above referenced site ("Site"). The Department's Western Regional Office
will conduct an audit of this Site following the procedures set forth at 310 CMR 40.1100. All audits will
include a file review of the AUL submitted for the Site, and some will also include a Site inspection and/or
comprehensive review of the RAO documentation. If additional information. and/or access to the Site is
necessary.at the time of the audit, you will be notified. Attached please find a fact sheet that describes the
Activity and Use Limitation Audit Project in greater detail.
This Notice is being sent to all parties who have submitted an AUL as part of their RAO and to the
Licensed Site Professional(s)-of-Record ("LSP-of-Record") for these sites. If you are no longer the
contact person for the subject Site, please notify Mr. Thomas M. Potter in writing at the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup, One Winter Street, 7th Floor,
Boston, Massachusetts, 02108.

RE:
Response Action Outcome/
Activity and Use Limitation Opinion
45 South Pleasant Street, Amherst, Ma.
DEP RTN:
1-10552
Dear Attorney Reed:
With respect to the abovementioned site and based on our data
collected and interpretations presented in previous documents
dated November 7, 1994 and December 27, 1994, it is the opinion
of Cold Spring Environmental that sufficient remedial response
actions and assessment commensurate with the magnitude and impact
of the release of #2 fuel oil and the risk posed by it have been
properly completed to control the reported release.
While the levels that have been achieved do not reach background,
they do achieve a condition of "No Significant Risk" as defined
by 310 CMR 40.0975(6)(a) with the implementation of an Activity
and Use Limitation. Complete implementation of remedial measures
to achieve background levels in accordance with 40.1020 and
40.0860 (4) would not be justified in that the costs to conduct
further response would exceed the benefits to public health and
the environment.
The foundation for the implementation of this AUL is its reliance
on an established S-3 standard of 5,000 ppm TPH given:
1. That the frequency of exposure to the soil to children
would be considered low, in that children are only present
at infrequent intervals and that their intensity of use is
low.
2. That the frequency of use by adults is considered high
while their intensity of use is low.
3) The soil, maintained under asphalt, would be only
potentially accessible.
The AUL is explicitly limited to an area of soil located at the
bottom of the former tank excavation. This has been shown to
consist of only the area that remains in exceedance of the S-1
TPH Soil Standard of 500 ppm (bottom soil samples measured at
350 Old Enfield Road - Belchertown, MA 01007 (413) 323-5957 & 323-4916
Fax: 323-4916
Page 2: Attorney Martine Reed
January 26,1995
2,600 ppm to 3,600 ppm but well within the S-3 TPH standard of
5,000 ppm). The S-3 level can be relied upon if the above
conditions are met. In addition, sidewall PID and laboratory
results from our previous work confine the application of the AUL
to the surveyed area as noted on the Plan prepared by Richard
LaBarge, Sr., RLS.
Content of the Activity And Use Limitation:
The AUL would include the placement and maintenance of an
impermeable layer of asphalt (3" thick) over the noted area. The
asphalt in the noted area must be properly maintained to prevent
potting and cracking in the future until such time as the AUL is
lifted by presentation of additional data or future regulations
that no longer require the limitation of access to the subsurface
soil. No subsurface excavation in the area of the AUL is allowed
without prior consultation of the Massachusetts DEP or a Licensed
Site Professional.
It has been shown with the installation of monitoring wells that
the site meets applicable GW-3 groundwater standards for
petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater (letter of 12/27/94).
As such, the site complies with the requirements of a Class A-3
Response Action Outcome (RAO), and the RAPS Response Action
Performance Standard for sufficient technical resolution has been
maintained. In this characterization, it has also been evaluated
that a reduction of levels to background is not necessary nor
environmentally beneficial (given site logistics, conditions and
identification of public health risks) in order to achieve the
condition of "No Significant Risk" (310 CMR 40.0860).
A copy of this letter should be recorded with the AUL and
submitted to Mr. David Slowick of the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (436 Dwight Street, Springfield, MA.
01103) as soon as possible. The AUL must be recorded with the
Deed and Survey and a Public Notice of the AUL provision must
also be placed in the local newspaper.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Hastings:
On November 14, 1994, the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Waste
Site Cleanup, Emergency Response Section ("the Department") received an Immediate
Response Action (IRA) plan for the release referenced above at 45 south Pleasant
Street, Amherst, MA (the "site") . This letter is written to inform you of the
Department's approval of the IRA plan pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0420 (6).
The IRA plan, dated November 7, 1994, was prepared and submitted by Cold Spring
Environmental Consultants, Inc. on behalf of Mercantile Buildings of Amherst,
Inc.
The IRA consisted of removal of a leaking #2 fuel oil
underground storage
tank, removal of impacted soil, and collection and analysis of post-excavation
soil samples.
All contaminated soil excavated at the site will be managed in
accordance with the Department's "Interim Remediation Waste Management Policy for
Petroleum Contaminated Soils" (Policy #WSC-94-400).
The Department hereby approves the above referenced IRA plan as submitted.
Any
the IRA plan must not be
additional remedial actions not referenced in
implemented until approved in writing by the Department.

CSEC Proj. #94-421-1012
DEP Release Tracking 1-10552
4
Dear Mr. Hastings:
Cold Spring Environmental Consultants, Inc. was contracted at
your request for consultation, sampling and inspection at the
abovementioned address on October 11, 1994. The inspection
revealed evidence of a release of fuel oil from the former 3,000
gallon #2 fuel oil underground storage tank (UST). Upon review
of the situation with Fire Inspector Boland, we observed that the
bottom soil from the excavation had a stained appearance, an odor
of fuel oil and exhibited the volatile characteristics (ie., PID
meter readings in excess of 50 ppm) of a UST release requiring
you to notify the DEP within 72 hours. Alan Weiss of CSEC, Inc.
notified Adam Wright of the Massachusetts DEP on your behalf on
October 11th, 1994. Verbal approval of an Immediate Response
Action (IRA) consisting of soil removal and follow-up soil
sampling and laboratory analyses was obtained. Mr. Wright of the
DEP responded by noting that he will verbally approve the IRA and
await our written IRA Report on the release condition. He noted
that Alan Weiss was the LSP of record to determine the
characteristics of the release conditions subject to 310 CMR
40.000.
Upon our inspection we determined it was necessary to segregate
the excavated soil based on PID readings, visual staining and
odor conditions. You were given preliminary instructions to
remove impacted soil from the immediate sides and bottom of the
excavation and stockpile it on site on October 12, 1994. This
was followed by excavation of soil from a depth of 7' to 10.5'
below grade. PID levels in bottom samples dropped slightly from
105 to 115 ppm down to 75 to 80 ppm. Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon
(TPH) analysis of the final composite bottom sample at 10.5 feet
at the east end of the excavation found 3,600 ppm using Method
D3328. Laboratory analysis of soil samples taken at .10' feet at
the bottom of the west end of the excavation found 2,600 ppm.
TPH results from a composite sidewall sample found 48 ppm.

November 7, 1994
The underground storage tank (UST) had been emptied prior to our
inspection. Inspection of the soil in the UST excavation by our
staff on October 12, 1994 revealed visual evidence of a release
of fuel oil. Contamination was observed adjacent to and beneath
the former tank. Soil was excavated from the bottom of the tank
hole from 7.5 to 10.5 feet. Any further soil removal was thought
to undermine the integrity of the adjacent building, porch
supports and footings. The underlying soil consisted of green,
dense silt and clay till. The sidewall soil consisted of gravel
fill. No groundwater seepage was observed at the final depth of
10.5 feet.
The soil was stockpiled on polyethylene and under polyethylene
until proper Bill-of-Lading removal to a recycling plant could be
arranged. Approximately twelve cubic yard of contaminated soil
were removed from the excavation. That material is to be
properly transported to Ondrick's Contruction in Chicopee (by
Cernak Tank) for soil recycling on Thursday, November 10, 1994.
Analysis of a characteristic sample of stockpile 'soil ("Stock")
identified 2,800 ppm TPH, and 1,000 ppb xylene.
The follow-up bottom and sidewall soil samples found 2,600 to
3,600 ppm of residual Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (this level is
above the S-1 Reportable Concentration (RCS-1) of 500 ppm needed
for site closure).
The alternate standards of 2,500 ppm and
5,000 ppm are not currently applicable at.this site. The S-2 or
S-3 standards may be applicable in the future based on further
investigation and repaving of the impacted area. Furthermore, it
may be possible to close the release with an Actitivity Use
Limitiation (Deed Restriction) as long as groundwater testing
finds that groundwater impact is less than applicable water
quality standards.
Further soil excavation is not considered a reasonable or
technically feasible approach to attempt to reduce soil
concentrations further based on site logistics (building
footings, fire escape etc.).
The installation of three to four
monitoring wells would be recomended in order to identify the
extent of soil contamination and potential impact of the release
on groundwater.

SUMMARY
Alan Weiss, LSP of our staff, made a site inspection on October
12, 1994 and found evidence that a release of fuel oil had
ocurred from an underground 3,000 gallon tank. It is our opinion
that the Imediate Response Action (IRA) consisting of soil
removal and tank removal are complete, however residual levels of
petroleum warrant further excavation and/or assessment
(completion of a Phase I Report and Site Classification within 1
year of original DEP notification).
This determination was based
on visual inspection, PID screening and the abovementioned soil
sampling of the impacted area as shown on the site sketch
(attached).
After limited soil removal followed by visual inspection,
headspace photoionization detector screening and Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbon sampling, and based on comparison of the results with
310 CMR 40.00, is it is our opinion that the site would need
further response actions in order to be considered sufficiently
remediated and meet a condition of no significant risk.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions and be sure to
submit this IRA report/letter with a signed Release Notification
Form (if not already completed) to the DEP in Springfield within
60 days. We would be happy to discuss the next phase of work
necessary (monitoring wells and Phase I Report and/or further
soil excavation) at your.convenienc6.
Also please note that the Bill of Lading must be signed by you
before and after the transport of the. soil by Cernak Tank to the
Ondrick Construction facility.
In addition, originals ofthe
enclosed IRA Transmittal and Completion forms.must also be.signed
by you and submitted to the DEP with this report within. 60 days
of your original release notification. The DEP should also
receive the completed Bill of Lading within 14 days of soil
transport.

DEP RTN:
Action Outcome/
and Use Limitation Opinion
Pleasant Street, Amherst, Ma.

Dear Attorney Reed:
With respect to the abovementioned site and based on our data
collected and interpretations presented in previous documents
dated November 7, 1994 and December 27, 1994, it is the opinion
of Cold Spring Environmental that sufficient remedial response
actions and assessment commensurate with the magnitude and impact
of the release of #2 fuel oil and the risk posed by it have been
properly completed to control the reported release.
While the levels that have been achieved do not reach background,
they do achieve a condition of "No Significant Risk" as defined
by 310 CHR 40.0975(6)(a) with the implementation of an Activity
and Use Limitation. Complete implementation of remedial measures
to achieve background levels in accordance with 40.1020 and
40.0860 (4) would not be justified in that the costs to conduct
further response would exceed the benefits to public health and
the environment.
The foundation for the implementation of this AUL is its reliance
on an established S-3 standard of 5,000 ppm TPH given:
1. That the frequency of exposure to the soil to children
would be considered low, in that children are only present
at infrequent intervals and that their intensity of use is
low.
2. That the frequency of use by adults is
considered high
while their intensity of use is low.
3) The soil, maintained under asphalt, would be only
potentially accessible.
The AUL is explicitly limited to an area of soil located at the
bottom of the former tank excavation.
This has been shown to
consist of only the area that remains in exceedance of the S-1
TPH Soil Standard of 500 ppm (bottom soil samples measured at
350 Old Enfield Rnad - Bclhenown, MA 01007 . (413) 323-5957 & 323-4916

2,600 ppm to 3,600 ppm but well within the 8-3 TPH standard of
5,000 ppi). The S-3 level can be relied upon if the above
conditions are met. In addition, sidewall PID and laboratory
results from our previous work confine the application of the AUL
to the surveyed area as noted on the Plan prepared by Richard
LaBarge, Sr., RLS.
Content of the Activity And Use Limitation:
The AUL would include the placement and maintenance of an
impermeable layer of asphalt (3" thick) over the noted area. The
asphalt in the noted area must be properly maintained to prevent
potting and cracking in the future until such time as the AUL is
lifted by presentation of additional data or future regulations
that no longer require the limitation of access to the subsurface
soil. No subsurface excavation in the area of the AUL is allowed
without prior consultation of the Massachusetts DEP or a Licensed
Site Professional.
