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 B*011I03PG21 EXHIBIT B Page 2 Activity and Use Limitation Opinion Mercantile Buildings of Amherst, Inc. 45 South Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA 01002 DEP RTN: 1-10552 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.

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.

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)).

March 26, 2003 Town of Amherst Board of Health Attn: Epi Bodhi Bangs Community Center 70 Boltwood Walk Amherst, MA 01002 Dear Town of Amherst Board of Health: The purpose of this letter is to inform you that on March 20, 2003, an "Amendifient 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.

LISS Commissioner Mercantile Buildings of Amherst, Inc. 45 South Pleasant Street Amherst, MA 01002 Attn: David S. Hastings Re: Amherst - RTN 1-10552 RAO, AUL A. J. Hastings 45 South Pleasant Street 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. 436 Dwight Street - Springfield, Massachusetts 01103 * FAX (413) 784-1149 * TDD (413) 746-6620 . Telephone (413) 784-1100 Printed on Recycled Paper 0 0 Amherst, RTN 1-10552 0 2 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 00 Amherst, RTN 1-10552 3 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 00 Amherst, RTN 1-10552 4 representation by the Department that the RAO complies with M.G.L. c.21E, 310 CMR 40.0000, or any other laws, regulations, or requirements. The Department's findings were based upon the accuracy and certainty of the information reviewed during the audit. These findings do not: (1) preclude future audits of past, current, or future actions at the site; (2) apply to actions or other aspects of the site that were not reviewed in the audit; (3) in any way constitute a release from any liability, obligation, action or penalty under M.G.L. c. 21E, 310 CMR 40.0000, or any other laws, regulations, or requirements. The Department retains authority to take or arrange, or to require any Responsible Party or Potentially Responsible Party to perform any response action authorized by M.G.L. c. 21 E, which the Department deems necessary to protect health, safety, public welfare, or the environment. If you have any questions regarding this letter or any requirements contained in it, please contact Catherine Wanat at (413) 755-2241.

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.

Regulatory Compliance RecyclingandSolid Waste 1995 Attorney Martine Reed Brown, Hart, Reed and Kaplan 35 South Pleasant Street Amherst, MA. 01002 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.

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. 350 Old Enfield Road * Belchertown, MA 01007 - (413) 323-5957 & 323-4916 Fax: 323-4916 Page 2: Mr. Donald Hastings 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. 0 0 Page 3: Mr. Donald Hastings November 7, 1994 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.

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 .

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.
