I.O INTRODUCTION
New England Environmental Inc., (i~I~E) submitted an IRA Plan dated June 6, 2006 and an 1RA Plan
Amendment dated August 2, 2006 td gain explicit DEP approval for response actions described in the
Revised Phase IV RIP submitted to the DEP on September 15, 2005 for the Former Cutlery Raceway
located on Riverside Drive in Northampton, Massachusetts (the Site, Figure I ). The IRA Plan and IRA
Plan Amendment were approved by the DEP in a letter dated August 18, 2006 (Appendix A). This IRA
Status Report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the MCP. In
accordance with 310 CMR 40.0424, an IRA Transmittal Form (BWSC-105) has been completed for the
Site. A copy of the form is included ih Appendix A.
This IRA Status Report covers the pi/riod April 20, 2007 through October 3, 2007 at the Site.
I . I Description of the Release and Site Conditions
The release at this Site can generally be described as disposal of industrial waste materials,, demolition
debris, and common refuse in an unwegulated landfill within and along the former raceway leading to the
Cutlery Building. The primary contaminants of concern are the metals arsenic, chromium, nickel, -and
lead. Other metals, PCBs, and some petroleum products have also been found .at the Site above
acceptable standards. This IRA specifically addresses the. control of metals found within soil and fill
materials on the bank of the Mill River west of the Cutlery Building and the former Firehouse within
AOC- I and the relocation of these soils to the existing soil stockpile within AOC-2. The area of the
IRA is shown in relation to the entire $ite in Figure 2.
AOC- I Parking Lots
In the Summer of 2005, metals-impacted soil was discovered on the bank of the Mill River behind the
Cutlery and Firehouse buildings, west of the parking lots, indicating that AOC-I extends further to the
west than previously thought. This meant that simply paving the parking lot surface would not provide a
sufficient barrier to isolate this soil..The concentrations of chromium exceed Imminent Hazard (1,000
mg/kg) levels in 9 of the 15 samples collected in this area, and one of these (CB-I at 25,000 mg/kg)
exceeds the UCL for chromium (I 0,000mg/kg). Results of this soil sampling are summarized in Table I .
The bank of the Mill River in this location is entirely composed of fill material including a large number of
boulders and concrete slabs, and is currently held in place, in part, by the roots of many mature trees.
AOC-2 Filled Raceway
Soil excavated at the Site in 2004 artd 2005 was stockpiled in the central portion of the Site on top of a
filled portion of the former water power raceway (AOC-2). This stockpile was relatively long, tall,
skinny, and was covered with plastic. In total, the stockpile was approximately 180 feet long, 25-30 feet
wide and 8- I 0 feet high with a peaked ridge. A depression in thl~ n~a,~-tie-eentLr~51`ovided
access to a City of Northampton sewer manhole. pjgj~jZed
1.2 Previous Related IRA Activities Checked
The DEP was notified of the CB-I Imminent Hazard (IH) condition on July 28, 2005 and an Immediate
Response Action (IRA) was initiated, NEE proposed the installation of "No Trespassing" signs as an
appropriate mitigating measure under the IRA triggered by the IH condition. The bank of the Mill River
where these samples were collected is a deeply wooded area behind the Cutlery Building parking lot, an

NEw
area where people do not enter and have no reason to cross. The bank down to the river is quite steep
and much of it is simply impassable. The area showed no signs of activity -prior to sampling, so posting
signs was considered a precautionary measure. Mr. John Bourcier of the DEP agreed that sign posting
was an appropriate measure, and the signs were installed the following day, July 29, 2005. In addition to
the signs, NEE also installed several short lengths of orange construction fencing in the more accessible
areas of the top portion of the bank as an additional deterrent. At a follow-up site visit on August 12,
2005, Mr. Ben Fish of the DEP agreed that the sign posting and fences were adequate mitigation
measures for the steep bank.. The IRA was closed on September 9, 2005. No other IRA activities have
occurred for this condition.
As noted in the IRA Plan (NEE June 6, 2006), NEE completed these Phase IV response actions under the
IRA provisions of the MCP to assist the City of Northampton planners and Conservation Commission
by gaining specific Department approval of the actions prior to their commencement.
1.3 Proposed IRA Activities (as Amended)
AOC- I
In all areas where exceedance of a UCL of any metal are identified, this material will be -moved to the
existing soil stockpile within AOC-2, West of the Cutlery Building and Firehouse, the remaining metals-
impacted soil along the bank leading clown to the Mill River will be physically stabilized in place and an
AUL will be extended from the parking lots, down to the river's edge. A chain-link fence will be erected
along the west side of the parking lots in AOC- I to restrict access to the bank. Cutlery Building
Associates requested permission from the DEP to install afour-foot high fence along the edge of the
parking lot immediately behind the buildings, including behind the old firehouse, with "No Trespassing/
Restricted Area" signs. This would be in place of the five-foot fence outlined in the IRA Plan. They
believed a higher fence would be unattractive and very adversely impact their property value, and is
unnecessary as a means of restricting access by the public. They believed afour-foot fence behind the
buildings would be effective to deter people from climbing over the fence due to the proximity and
active use of the buildings. Afive-font high chain link fence will still be installed along Riverside Drive as
originally planned as this area is more accessible to the public. The DEP responded favorably to this
request, issuing an approval letter dated July 19, 2007 (Appendix A).
Excavated UCL soil from AOC- I will be moved 'to the existing soil stockpile within AOC-2. Based
upon the distribution of sampling locations and laboratory results (CB- I to CB- 15), NEE estimates that
less than 30 yd3 of soil exceeding UGL concentrations for chromium will require excavation.
The surface of the bank will be stripped of small brush and vegetation, and then covered in a marker
layer of bright orange, plastic, construction-type fencing that is laid down around the existing trees. The
marker layer will then be covered with four to six inches of cover material and loam, then covered with
erosion control landscape fabric, acid planted with materials designed to physically stabilize the bank
against future erosion (IRA Plan: Figures 3, 4, and 5). A coconut bio-log will be installed at the toe of the
slope within AOC-I to anchor the fabric layers and reduce possible e~~~the Mil_rer ~f-~e
lower portions of the new installations. _
Digifiiz~d __ _ _---
West of the Cutlery Building where the bank is near-vertical, it is unrealisfiti~g~~~me-that-eve~our to
six inches of soil will stay on the bank, Some areas of this bank are boulders, and these do not need to
be covered with soil and planted. In the remaining areas, soil will be placed between the large rocks and

covered with an erosion-control fabric to help hold it in place prior to being planted with materials
designed to physically stabilize the bank against future erosion. At the base of established trees, the soil
layer will be reduced to nothing so that the trees' root systems and trunks are not suffocated.
AOC-2
The stockpile will in turn be lowered slightly, and spread out slightly to remove the high peaks and some
of the steep side slopes. The stockpile will then be covered with a geotextile fabric, loam and seed.
The plastic will not be replaced on top of this stockpile. Under the agreement, fabric, loam and seed
was considered a better long-term cover material than plastic as it would not degrade in the sun and it
would prevent contaminated soil frc~rii being blown by the wind. Percolation. of precipitation was not
considered a concern as the concentrations of metals in the soil have been demonstrated not to leach in
excess of the EPA land treatment concentrations.
With the exception of changing the rover material on the stockpile, these actions are similar to those
included in the Revised Phase IV RIP submitted to the Department on September 15, 2005.
Additional chain link fence will be added to the road-side of the Site from the southerly chain link fence
all the way to the northerly chain Fink fence; the entire length of AOC-2 and AOC-3. The orange
plastic fencing will be moved to the river-side of the soil, stockpile, after it has been loamed and seeded.
This action will completely encircle the stockpile with fencing.
The goal of this IRA Plan remains to remove the most highly contaminated soil from AOC-I and then to
stabilize, control and isolate the remaining concentrations of metals-impacted soil. Once this is
complete; an Activity & Use Limitation will be placed on AOC-I, and NEE will file. a Class A3 Partial
Response Action Outcome (RAO-P) on this portion of the Site (the Cutlery Building and Firehouse
lots). The remaining Remediation Waste from AOC- I that is included in the soil stockpile located in
AOC-2 will be managed as noted beltsw and included in the Class C RAO for those portions of the Site.
These actions are sufficient to allow partial closure of AOC- I under 3 I 0 CMR 40.0030.
2.0 COMPLETED IRAACI"IVITIES
2.1 Soil Excavation
No soil excavation activities have occurred in the period from April 20, 2007 through October 3, 2006.
2.2 Sign Posting
Additional "No Trespassing" signs were added to both the street and river sides of the Site in
September 2006. There are now I>~ "Posted, No Trespassing" signs around the Site: six along the edge
of pavement of the Cutlery and Valley Home Improvement parking lots, a total of I I similar signs on the
edge of Riverside Drive along AOG-2 and AOC-3, and three "Posted, No Trespassing" signs along the
bottom edge of the levee facing the Mill River in AOC-3, with a final sign at the base of the CB- I
excavation facing the River in AOC- I .

The remaining metals-impacted soil along the bank leading down to the Mill. River in AOC- I were
physically stabilized in place. Orange Mastic fencing has now been installed as a marker layer on the bank
surface to identify the former ground surface west of the parking lots in ACO- I . Spring flooding of the
Mill River this Spring caused considerable erosion of the toe of the slope in AOC- I and over-topped the
silt fence,. flattening it in many places. A flexible filter soc filled with seeded mulch was installed along
the toe of the slope in this area of the Site as a replacement for the silt fence. Seeded mulch
(EcoBlanketTM) was then sprayed in a layer 2-4 inches thick on the slope on top of the orange plastic
fencing in AOC- I . Straw mat was stapled to the top surface of the bank, on top of the EcoBlanketTM, in
some of the steeper portions of the slope to further protect the slope from erosion. The. attached
photographs show various stages of this installation and the finished installation with sprouted seed. It is
anticipated that some areas will require touch up this Fall, and this work is scheduled for October. The
bank stabilization plan also called for planting .of dormant willow stakes which . is scheduled for
November 2007.
2.4 Mill River Bank Stabilization in AOC-2 and AOC-3
The proposed stone retaining wall at the toe of the slope of the levee in AOC-3 was installed. An
eroded, undercut area just above/behind this wall was filled with pea-stone to physically stabilize the
bank and return the bank profile to its former slope. The entire levee bank was coated in a 2-4" layer
of EcoBlanketTM, as was the top surface of the levee. The steepest sections of the levee bank were then
covered with straw mat that was stapled to the ground surface in an effort to further combat erosion
on the levee bank. The silt fence along the toe of the levee bank was left in place. Photographs of this
area of the Site are also attached.
The soil stockpile in AOC-2 has an ample crop of grass and no erosion is apparent on the sides of the
stockpile. This. stockpile is solid as evidenced by the lack of evident compaction or erosion when the
levee area was accessed for bank stabilization work (see below). The inevitable tire tracks across the
top of the stockpile were seeded with the same EcoBlanketTM mulch material once the levee work was
complete, and this area recovered anal looked as good as the rest of the stockpile within several weeks.
2.5 Remaining IRA Activities
The following activities remain to be completed within AOC- I at the Site:
• Several small areas remain to be paved (the extended paring lot west of the Firehouse and
Cultery buildings, and the fenced storage area between Nelson Shifflett's new addition and the
,Cutlery parking lot planting bed).
• A four-foot high chain-link fence will be erected along the west side of the parking lots in AOC-
I to restrict access to the bank; and,
• Planting of willow stakes is scheduled for November 2007.
• Once these IRA activities are complete and closed, AOC-I will be subject to an Activity and
Use Limitation (AUL; 310 Ch'1R 40.1074). The goal for this portion of the Site is to close it
under a Class A-3 RAO.
Small areas at the edge of the existing parking lots and the land within the Valley Home Improvement
storage fence still require paving. The necessary prep work for the paving was completed with the bank
stabilization and the paving is scheduled for this fall. Once the paving is complete, the chain link fence
will be installed at the edge of the pavement and AOC- I of the Site will be ready for an AUL and Class
A-3 RAO-P. We anticipate that the bank stabilization NOI Certificate of Completion can be achieved
once the willow stakes are installed, and that the IRA Completion Report can be prepared shortly

thereafter. The AUURAO-P can then be finalized and submitted. We anticipate this will occur early in
2008.
Erosion had occurred in the sand under the new concrete wall of the sediment trap within the tailrace.
The hole under the wall and the flour of the sediment trap were filled with a layer of pea-stone in early
June to combat this erosion. This solution did not hold up and the hole under the wall re-formed. It
was again filled with large-diameter stone and pea stone over the Summer and the hole formed again.
Additional alterations to this sediment trap are scheduled for this Fall.
Related Activities in AOC-2 & AOC-3.
The following actions remain to be completed for AOC-2 and AOC-3:
• Planting of willow stakes is scheduled for November 2007..
• A five-foot high chain-link fence will be erected along the west side of Riverside Drive in AOC-2
& AOC-3 from existing fence to existing fence.
The goal of lowering the soil stockpile, adding fencing along the entire length of Riverside Drive in AOC-
2 & AOC-3, and stabilizing the levee bank from erosion is to get this portion of the Site in a condition
where it is as stable, controlled and as protected as is feasibly possible at this time in order to qualify for
a Class C RAO. This Temporary Solution will allow additional time and research to determine the best
long-term approach to remediation of the groundwater and soils, both in place and in the stockpile, in
AOC-2 and AOC-3.
2.6 Schedule
Cutlery Building Associates plans to have completed the items noted in Section 2.5 above by the due
date of the next IRA Status/Completion Report (April 2008).
2.7 IRA Transmittal Form
This IRA Status Report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the MCP.
In accordance with 310 CMR 40.044, an IRA Transmittal Form (BWSC-105) has been completed for the
Site. A copy of the form is included in Appendix A.
2.8 Licensed Site Professional (LSP) Evaluation & Opinion
A level of "No Significant Risk" has not been achieved. Therefore, additional response actions are
necessary before a Response Action t~utcome (RAO) Statement can be prepared. The proposed IRA
activities are not complete. Therefore, additional response actions are necessary. before. an IRA
Completion Statement can be prepared. The LSP of record for this site is Lyons Witten (License
#8066).

I.O INTRODUCTION
New England Environmental Inc., (NEE) submitted an IRA Plan dated June 6, 2006 and an IRA Plan
Amendment dated August 2, 2006 to gain explicit DEP approval for response actions described in the
Revised Phase IV RIP submitted to the DEP on September 15, 2005 for the Former Cutlery Raceway
located on Riverside Drive in Northampton, Massachusetts (the Site, Figure I ):.The IRA Plan and IRA
Plan Amendment were approved by the DEP in a letter dated August 18, 2006 (Appendix A). This IRA
Status Report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable requirements of the MCP. In
accordance with 310 CMR 40.0424, an IRA Transmittal Form (BWSC-105) has been completed for the
Site. A copy of the form is included in Appendix A.
This IRA Status Report covers the period October 20, 2006 through April 20, 2007 at the Site.
I . I Description of the Release and Site Conditions
The release at this Site can generally be described as disposal of .industrial waste materials, demolition
debris,. and common refuse in an unregulated landfill within and along the former raceway leading to the
Cutlery Building. The primary contaminants of concern are the metals arsenic, chromium, nickel, sand
lead. Other metals, PCBs, and some petroleum products have also been found at the Site above
acceptable standards. This IRA specifically addresses the control of metals found within soil and fill
materials on the bank of the Mill River west of the Cutlery Building and the former Firehouse within
AOC- I and the relocation of these soils to the existing soil stockpile within AOC-2. The area of the
IRA is shown in relation to the entire Site in Figure 2.
AOC-I Parking_Lots
In the Summer of 2005, metals-impacted soil was discovered on the bank of the Mill River behind the
Cutlery and Firehouse buildings, west of the parking lots, indicating that AOC-I extends further to the
west than previously thought. This meant that simply paving the parking lot surface would not provide a
sufficient barrier to isolate this soil. The concentrations of chromium exceed Imminent Hazard (1,000
mg/kg) levels in 9 of the 15 samples collected in this area, and one of these (CB- I at 25,000 mg/kg)
exceeds the UCL for chromium (I O;OOOmg/kg). Results of this soil sampling are summarized in Table I.
The bank of the Mill River in this location is entirely composed of fill material including a large number of
boulders and concrete slabs, and is currently held in place, in part, by the roots of many mature trees.
AOC-2 Filled Raceway
Soil excavated at the Site in 2004 and 2005 was stockpiled in the central portion of the Site on top~of a
filled portion of the former water power raceway (AOC-2). This stockpile was- relatively long, tall,
skinny, and was covered with plastic. In total, the stockpile was approximately 180 feet long, 25-30 feet
wide and 8-10 feet high with a peaked ridge. A depression in the stockpile near the center provided
access to a City of Northampton sewer manhole.
1.2 Previous Related IRA Activities
The DEP was notified of the CB-I Irriminent Hazard (IH) condition on July 28, 2005 and an Immediate
Response Action (IRA) was initiated. NEE proposed the installation of "No Trespassing" signs as an
appropriate mitigating measure under the IRA triggered by the IH condition. The bank of the Mill River

area where people do not enter and have no reason to cross. The bank down to the river is quite steep
and much of it is simply impassable. The area showed no signs of activity prior to sampling, so posting
signs was considered a precautionary measure. Mr. John Bourcier of the DEP agreed that sign posting
was an appropriate measure, and the signs were installed the following day, July 29, 2005. In addition to
the signs, NEE also installed several short lengths of orange construction fencing in the more accessible
areas of the top portion of the bank as an additional deterrent. At a follow-up site visit on August 12,
2005, Mr. Ben Fish of the DEP agreed that the sign posting and fences were adequate mitigation
measures for the steep bank. The IRA was closed on September 9, 2005. No other IRA activities have
occurred for this condition.
As noted in the IRA Plan (NEE June 6, 2006), NEE completed these Phase IV response actions under the
IRA provisions of the MCP to assist the City of Northampton planners and Conservation Commission
by gaining specific Department approval of the actions prior to their commencement.
1.3 Proposed IRA Activities (as Amended)
AOC- I
In all areas where exceedance of a. UCL of any metal are identified, this material will be moved to the
existing soil stockpile within AOC-2. West of the Cutlery Building and Firehouse, the remaining metals-
impacted soil along the bank leading down to the Mill River will be physically stabilized in place and an
AUL will be extended from the parking lots down to the river's edge. A chain-link fence will be erected
along the west side of the parking lots in AOC- I to restrict access to the bank.
Excavated UCL soil from AOC- I will be moved to the existing soil stockpile within AOC-2. Based
upon the distribution of sampling locations and laboratory results (CB- I to CB- 15; Table I ), NEE
estimates .that less than 30 yd3 of soil exceeding UCL concentrations for chromium will require
excavation.
The surface of the bank will be stripped of small brush and vegetation, and then covered in a marker
layer of bright orange, plastic, construction-type fencing that is laid down around the existing trees. The
marker layer will then be covered with four to six inches of cover material and loam, then covered with
erosion control landscape fabric, and planted with materials designed to physically stabilize the bank
against future erosion, (IRA Plan: Figures 3, 4, and 5). A coconut bio-log will be installed at the toe of the
slope within AOC- I to anchor the fabric layers and reduce possible erosion by the Mill River of the
lower portions of the new installations.
West of the Cutlery Building where the bank is near-vertical, it is unrealistic to assume that even four to
six inches of soil will stay on the bank. Some areas of this bank are boulders, and these do not need to
be covered with soil and planted. In the remaining areas, soil will be placed between the large rocks and
covered with an erosion-control fabric to help hold it in place prior to being planted with materials
designed to physically stabilize the bank against future erosion. At the base of established trees, the soil
layer will be reduced to nothing so that the trees' root systems and trunks are not suffocated.
AOC-2
The stockpile will in turn be lowered slightly, and spread out slightly to remove the high peaks and some
of, the steep side slopes. The stockpile will then be covered with a geotextile fabric, loam and seed.
The plastic will not be replaced on top of this stockpile. Under the agreement, fabric, loam and seed
was considered a better long-term cover material than plastic as it would not degrade in the sun and it

would prevent contaminated soil fr~5m being blown by the wind. Percolation of precipitation was not
considered a concern as the concentrations of metals in the soil have been demonstrated not to leach in
excess of the EPA land treatment concentrations.
With the exception of changing the cover material on the stockpile, these actions are similar to those
included in the Revised Phase IV RIP submitted to the Department on September 15, 2005.
Additional chain link fence will be added to the road-sid.e of. the Site from the southerly chain link fence
all the way to the northerly chain link fence; the entire length of AOC-2 and AOC-3: The orange
plastic fencing will be moved to the river-side of the soil stockpile, after it has been loamed and seeded.
This action will completely encircle the stockpile with fencing.
The goal of this IRA Plan remains to remove the most highly contaminated soil from AOC-I and then to
stabilize, control and isolate the remaining concentrations, of metals-impacted soil. , Once this is
complete, an Activity & Use Limitation will be placed on AOC- I , and NEE will file a Class A3 Partial
Response Action Outcome (RAO-P) on this portion of the Site (the Cutlery Building and' Firehouse
lots). The remaining Remediation Waste from AOC-I that is included in the soil stockpile located in
AOC-2 will be managed as noted below and included in the Class C RAO for those portions of the Site.
These actions are sufficient to allow partial closure of AOC- I under 3 I 0 CMR 40.0030.
2.0 COMPLETED IRA ACTIVITIES
2.1 Soil Excavation
No soil excavation activities have occurred in the period from October 20, 2006 through April .20,
2007.
2.2 Sign Posting ~ .
Additional "No Trespassing".signs were added to both the street and river sides of the Site. There are
now six "Posted, No Trespassing" signs along the edge of pavement of the Cutlery and Valley Home
Improvement parking lots, a total of I I similar signs on the edge of Riverside Drive along AOC-2 and
AOC-3, and three "Posted, No Trespassing" signs along the bottom edge of the levee facing the Mill
River in AOC-3, with a final sign at the base of the CB- I excavation facing the River in AOC- I . In all, 12
new signs were added to the Site in September 2006.
2.3 Remaining IRA Activities
The following activities remain to be completed within AOC- I at the Site:
• The remaining metals-impacted soil along the bank leading down to the Mill River in AOC- I will
be physically stabilized in place;
• A chain-link fence will be erected along 'the west side of the parking lots in AOC-I to restrict
access to the bank; and,
• Once these IRA activities are complete and closed, AOC- I will be subject to an Activity and
Use Limitation (AUL; 310 CMR 40.1074). The goal for this portion of the Site is to close it
under a Class A-3 RAO.

Related Activities in AOC-2 & AOC-3
The following actions remain to be completed for AOC-2 and AOC-3:
• The steep slopes along the levee that are not vegetated and are eroding will be physically.
stabilized.
• . The relatively flat top surface of the levee will be seeded and covered with straw.
• A short (40-50 foot) section of the toe of the slope will receive stone rip-rap to hold down the
lower end of the erosion control. fabric. This area is directly downstream from the downstream
end of the stone retaining wall that exists along most of the toe of the. slope along the levee,
effectively making the stone retaining wall 40-50 feet longer. This new section of stone wall will
be up to two feet high.
• A chain-link fence will be erected along the west side of Riverside Drive in AOC-2 & AOC-3
from existing fence. to existing fence.. .
The goal of lowering the soil stockpile, adding fencing along the entire length of Riverside Drive in AOC-
2 & AOC-3, and stabilizing the levee bank from erosion is to get this portion of the Site in a condition
where it is as stable, controlled and protected as is feasibly possible at this time in order to qualify for a
Class C RAO. This Temporary Solution will allow additional time and research to determine the best
long-term approach to remediation of the groundwater and soils, both in place and in the stockpile, in
AOC-3.

Springfield, Massachusetts O 1103
RE: Former Cutlery Raceway
320-360 Riverside Drive
Northampton, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Fish:
New England Environmental, Inc. is please to provide your office with an update on the status of bank
stabilization at the Cutlery property. This work is being completed under an IRA which was approved
by the Department in June' 2006 and amended in August 2006.
Orange plastic fencing has now been installed as a marker layer on the bank surface to identify the
former ground surface west. of the parking lots in ACO- I . Spring flooding of the Mill River this Spring
caused considerable erosion of the the of the slope in AOC-I and over-topped the silt fence, flattening
it in many places. A flexible filter soc filled with seeded mulch was installed along the toe of the slope in
this area of the Site as a replacemdnt for the silt fence. Seeded mulch (EcoBlanket?M, see attached
product specification sheets) was then sprayed in a layer 2-4 inches thick on the slope on top of the
orange plastic fencing in AOC- I . Straw mat was stapled to the top surface of the bank, on top of the
EcoBlanketTM, in some of the steeper portions of the. slope to further protect the slope from erosion.
The attached photographs show various stages of this installation and the finished installation with .
sprouted seed. It is anticipated that some areas will require touch up before the summer is over, and
this work is scheduled for August. The bank stabilization plan also called for planting of dormant willow
stakes which is scheduled for Novernber 2007.
Small areas at the edge of the existing parking lots and the land within the Valley Home Improvement
storage fence still require paving. The necessary prep work for the paving was just completed with the
bank stabilization and the paving is scheduled for this summer. Once the paving is complete, the chain
link fence will b.e installed at the edge of the pavement and AOC-I of the Site will be ready for an AUL
and Class A-3 RAO-P. We anticipate that the bank stabilization NOI Certificate of Completion can be
achieved once the willow stakes are installed, and that the IRA Completion Report can be prepared
shortly thereafter. The AUL/RAO-f~ can then be finalized and submitted. We anticipate this will occur
early in 2008. J

On the issue of the chain link fence, Cutlery Building Associates would greatly prefer to install afour=
foot high fence along the edge of the parking lot immediately behind the the buildings, including. behind
the old firehouse, with "No Trespassing/ Restricted Area" signs. This would be in place of the five-foot
fence outlined in the IRA Plan. They believe a higher fence will be unattractive and very adversely impact

their property value, and is unnecessary as a means of restricting access by the public.. They believe a
four-foot fence behind the buildings will be.effective to deter people from climbing over the fence due
to the proximity and active use of the buildings. Afive-foot high chain link fence will still be installed
along Riverside Drive as originally planned as this area is more accessible to the public. Primarily this is
an issue of aesthetic impact of a five~foot fence, and the ability to rent space within the Cutlery Building.
The fence will be very close to the buildings and the five-foot height will have• a much more negative
impact on the buildings than afour-foot height without any real additional protection of the public. They
want to make this minor change to the IRA plans, along the parking lot only, but need assurance from
the Department that such a fence will be accepted when this RTN/RAO-P is audited in the future. VVe
would appreciate the Department's written response to this request.
'~~. Erosion had occurred in the sand under the new concrete wall of the sediment trap within the tailrace.
The hole under the wall and the floor of the sediment trap were filled with a layer of pea-stone in early
June to combat this erosion, and this solution appears to be holding up.
The soil stockpile in AOC-2 has an ample crop of grass and no erosion is apparent on the sides of the
stockpile.. This stockpile is solid as evidenced by the lack of evident compaction or erosion when the
levee area was accessed for bank stabilization work (see below). The inevitable tire tracks across the
top of the. stockpile were seeded with the same EcoBlanketTM mulch material once the levee work was
complete, and we anticipate this will look as good as the rest of the stockpile within several weeks.
The proposed stone retaining wall at the toe of the slope of the levee in AOC-3 is installed. An eroded,
undercut area just above/behind this wall was filled with pea-stone to physically stabilize the bank and
return the bank profile to its forrr~er slope.. The entire levee bank was coated in a 2-4" layer of
EcoBlanket?M, as was the top surface of the levee. The steepest sections of the .levee bank were .then
covered with-straw mat that was stapled to the ground surface in an effort to further combat erosion
on the levee bank. The silt fence along the toe of the levee bank was left in place. Photographs of this
area of the Site are,also attached.
