O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 1 E N G I N E E R I N G 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun Associates, Inc. (OTO) has conducted a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) Update for property located at 209 Spring Street in the Florence section of Northampton, Massachusetts. The update has been prepared in conformance with the ASTM Standard
E1527-05 on behalf of the Trust for Public Land. A Phase I/II ESA of the property was completed in February 2010 (OTO, 2010.) The update consisted of: an interview with a Site representative;
a visual inspection of the property; a review of regulatory agency file information; and preparation of this report. A summary of our findings and conclusions is presented below. The
Site includes approximately 47 acres of land that has historically been used for agricultural purposes. A barn/shop, garage, a hog house, and two sheds are located on Site. The residence
and abutting barn on this property were not included in our site assessment, as they are are not planned to be part of the potential property transfer. The update identified two Recognized
Environmental Conditions (RECs) at the Site: historic pesticide use in the orchards, and historic solid waste filling in one area, both of which were identified in OTO’s February 2010
Phase I/II ESA. An underground storage tank (UST) identified as an historical REC in our February report has since been removed. No environmental impacts associated with that UST were
identified. The former UST area is not considered a current or historic REC. The first REC is pesticides, including lead arsenate, which are known to have historically been applied to
apple orchards on Site. Soil testing conducted during the prior Phase I/II ESA identified arsenic and dieldrin above Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) Reportable Concentrations in
the former orchard area. In our opinion, these constituents are exempt from reporting under the MCP as they are believed to be present due to historic use of pesticides on Site in accordance
with manufacturer’s specifications. However, should you acquire this property, we recommend you notify the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) and indicate
your intention not to formally report this condition. If redevelopment of this area occurs, we recommend you consult with a Licensed Site Professional (LSP) regarding proper soil management
if the soils are relocated, and regarding potential public health risks that may be associated with use of the area. We recommend you assume similar conditions are present in the two
smaller former orchards at the southern end of the property. The second REC is an abandoned private solid waste fill area located at the north end of the property. The area was formerly
a gulley, and was filled with household and farm debris such as cans, bottles and other trash. No disposal of hazardous materials in the area was identified. Use of the fill area reportedly
stopped approximately 30 years ago, when the area was covered with soil. The nature of fill materials in this area are unknown. Mr. Cordis Bean indicated that the materials placed here
were solid wastes, and did not include agricultural chemicals. We recommend you use caution in your future use of this area to avoid potential physical or chemical hazards. If development
of the fill area is planned, explorations should be conducted to further characterize the materials present.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 2 E N G I N E E R I N G The barn/shop building closest to Spring Street has been significantly cleared since our February ESA. Two rolloff
dumpsters of debris were located outside the building at the time of our site visit. A small number of containers which may contain oil or hazardous materials remain in the barn/shop.
We recommend care is used to properly dispose of the remaining containerized materials. We did not observe evidence of a release to the building interior during our site visit. For your
convenience, a list of acronyms is provided in Section 14.0, at the end of this report. 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 PURPOSE This report presents the results of a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) Update performed at the Bean Farm property located at 209 Spring Street in Northampton, Massachusetts. This Phase I ESA Update was performed in accordance with ASTM
Standard E1527-05, specifically Section 4.6 of that standard. This work was performed on behalf of The Trust for Public Land, which may acquire the property. Mr. Cordis Bean, the son
of the deceased owner, served as the owner’s representative and key site manager. The purpose of our ESA Update was to evaluate current Site conditions, in particular any changes within
the past six months, to identify current or historic Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) at the Site. The ASTM Standard Practice defines "Recognized Environmental Conditions"
as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on the subject site under conditions that indicate an existing release, past release or a material
threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater or surface water of the property. The term includes
hazardous substances even under conditions in compliance with laws. The term is not intended to include de minimis conditions that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement
action if brought to the attention of appropriate government agencies. Conditions determined to be de minimis are not recognized environmental conditions. In addition, the ASTM Standard
requires that historical RECs (HRECs) and known or suspected environmental conditions be identified in the Phase I assessment report. The Standard defines HRECs as environmental conditions
“which in the past would have been considered a recognized environmental condition, but which may or may not be considered a recognized environmental condition currently.” 2.2 SCOPE
OF SERVICES Consistent with Section 4.6 of the ASTM Standard, the following tasks were undertaken to update our February 2010 Phase I/II ESA: An interview with the key site manager/owner’s
representative;
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 3 E N G I N E E R I N G A search for recorded environmental cleanup liens; A review of standard federal, state, and local government
records; and A Site reconnaissance. The declaration by the environmental professionals responsible for this update is provided in Section 12.0. 2.3 SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS OTO has
performed the environmental record searches in accordance with current ASTM and industry practice. The data, findings, and conclusions presented in this ESA Update are based upon a search,
review, and analysis of the documents and interviews, as well as observations made during the Site reconnaissance. Conclusions reached regarding the conditions of the Site do not represent
a warranty that all areas within the Site are of a similar quality, as may be inferred from observable Site conditions and available Site history. As stated in the ASTM standard, no
ESA can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding potential environmental conditions in connection with the Site. OTO’s evaluation and analysis are intended to reduce, not eliminate, the
potential for conditions that result in environmental risk for the end user of this report. 2.4 LIMITATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS Our report has been performed subject to the following limitations:
1. The observations presented in this report were made under the conditions described herein. The conclusions presented are based solely upon the services described and not on scientific
tasks or procedures beyond the scope of the project. 2. In preparing the report, OTO relied on certain information provided by federal, state and local officials and other parties referenced
herein, and on information contained in the files of state or local regulatory agencies at the time of the file review. Although there may have been some degree of overlap in the information
provided by these sources, OTO did not attempt to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of all information reviewed or received during the course of this assessment. 3. Observations
were made of the Site and of the structures on the Site, as indicated within the report. Where access to portions of the Site or to structures on the Site was unavailable or limited,
we render no opinion as to the presence of hazardous materials or oil, or to the presence of indirect information relating to hazardous materials or oil in that portion of the Site.
In addition, we render no opinion as to the presence of hazardous materials or oil, where direct observations of portions of the Site were obstructed by objects or coverings on or over
these surfaces. 4. The purpose of this Report was to assess the physical characteristics of the Site with respect to the presence of hazardous material or oil in soil or groundwater
at the Site. No specific attempt was made to check on the compliance of present or past owners or operators of the Site with federal, state, or local laws and regulations, environmental
or
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 4 E N G I N E E R I N G otherwise. This report has been prepared in accordance with the referenced ASTM standard. 2.5 SPECIAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS There are no other special terms or conditions concerning this project other than those specifically described in Section 2.4. 2.6 USER RELIANCE This report documents the
Site work performed by OTO on behalf of the Trust for Public Land in accordance with ASTM Standard 1527-05. The findings, opinions, and conclusions of this report are for the confidential
and exclusive use of the Trust for Public Land. Reliance on this report for any use or by parties other than those specifically stated is prohibited without the express written consent
of OTO and the Trust for Public Land, and such use is at the sole risk of the user. 3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 3.1 LOCATION AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION A Site Locus based on the current United States
Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map of the Easthampton, Massachusetts Quadrangle (1:25,000 25,000 scale) is attached as Figure 1. A Site Plan is provided as Figure 2. The property
is listed in Northampton Assessor’s records as parcels 16C-025-001 and 16C-025-700. Portions of the parcel along Spring Street including the residence and an abutting barn will be retained
by the Bean family, and are not part of the Site covered by this ESA Update. The total area of the property included in this ESA is approximately 47 acres of land. 3.2 SITE AND VICINITY
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The Site is located at 209 Spring Street in the Village of Florence in Northampton, Massachusetts. The Site and vicinity are sparsely developed, and used primarily
for residential and agricultural purposes. The Site is bounded by the Mill River on the north, agricultural fields on the east, residential properties on the west, and Spring Street
on the south. The Site elevation is approximately 250 feet above mean sea level (MSL) in the central portions of the fields, which are relatively flat. Ground surface elevation slopes
upwards in the western and southern portions of the Site, to approximately 280 feet near Spring Street. The Site is bordered to the north by the southeasterly flowing Mill River. Based
on topography, groundwater flow direction at the Site is inferred to be northeasterly towards the Mill River. A groundwater survey was not conducted to confirm this.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 5 E N G I N E E R I N G 3.3 CURRENT USE OF THE SITE The Site includes: farmland currently used for hay and potato crops; a barn/shed used
for hay storage; a garage used for vehicle and equipment storage; and three vacant outbuildings (identified on Figure 2 as the corn crib, hog house, and hog shed) that are currently
unused. Active use of the property for hay and potato crops represents a change from our February 2010 ESA, at which time use of the property for agricultural purposes was believed to
have ceased. 3.4 DESCRIPTIONS OF STRUCTURES, ROADS AND IMPROVEMENTS The Site is improved with several wood framed farm buildings, including a barn/shop at the southern end of the Site
near Spring Street, a detached garage north of the barn/shop, a building formerly used to house hogs and chickens (referred to in this report as “the hog house”) in the central portion
of the Site, and two open-air structures identified as the corn crib and hog shed on Figure 2. A private dirt road traverses the property in a roughly north-south orientation. During
our February 2010 ESA, we did not identify the garage as part of the Site, as we believed it was to be retained as part of the house lot that will be staying in the Bean family. During
our August 2010 Site reconnaissance, Mr. Cordis Bean clearly stated that the garage will be part of the transaction, and he expected the garage would be razed by the future owner. 3.5
CURRENT USES OF ADJOINING PROPERTIES During the Site visit, a visual survey was conducted of surrounding land use. The Site is abutted to the north and east by a mixture of agricultural
and forest land. Land to the south and west of the Site is primarily residential. 4.0 INTERVIEW WITH OWNER OTO interviewed Mr. Cordis Bean, the deceased owner’s son, for information
on Site use. Mr. Bean has knowledge of the property spanning many decades, and currently resides at 198 Spring Street, across Spring Street from the Site. Our interview with Mr. Bean
was conducted on Site, where he identified relevant features. Information provided by Mr. Bean has been incorporated into relevant sections of this report. Mr. Bean had no knowledge
of environmental liens or Activity and Use Limitations at the property, and indicated the property price reflects fair (although currently depressed) market value. Mr. Bean indicated
that the underground storage tank (UST) formerly located on the northeast corner of barn/shop had been removed approximately six months ago. He indicated the tank had been removed by
Mr. Tacy, who resides in town. He recalled that the UST had been observed by a representative of the Northampton Fire Department and by Wayne Feiden of the
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 6 E N G I N E E R I N G Northampton Planning Department. He indicated the UST had an approximately 100 gallon capacity, and no evidence
of a release was observed when the tank was removed. Mr. Bean indicated the northwestern fields at the Site had been hayed this season. The baled hay was stored in the barn/shop. He
indicated the main agricultural field in the central to eastern portion of the property had been leased to another local farmer, and currently contained a potato crop. Mr. Bean indicated
it was likely the farmer had used spray-applied farming chemicals, possibly including pesticides and fertilizers, but he was unsure of the specific materials used, if any. While viewing
the fill area at the northwestern end of the property, Mr. Bean reiterated his prior statements to us that he did not believe chemicals were disposed of in that area. He believed only
solid wastes such as metal and glass were present. He indicated fill materials had not been added to that area for at least 30 years, and that the fill had since been covered with soil.
Mr. Bean indicated that small portions of the property around the perimeter of the fields had already been transferred to the City. 5.0 RECORDS REVIEW 5.1 STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS
SOURCES The Standard Environmental Records Sources identified in the ASTM Standard were reviewed for the Site and vicinity using a FirstSearch Technology Corporation (FirstSearch) database
search conducted on August 16, 2010. A listing of the records reviewed by FirstSearch and the radius for which the search was conducted is summarized in Table 1. The radius searched
for these databases meets or exceeds the radius required in the ASTM standard. A copy of the FirstSearch report is attached in Appendix A. No database listings were identified for the
Site property. No Federal NPL (National Priorities List or Superfund), CERCLIS, RCRA Corrective Action Sites/TSDF listings were identified within the search radii. New listings since
the February February 2010 ESA included one RCRA generator, two state site listings, and one spill listing. Each of these was identified as greater than one-half mile from the subject
Site. Additionally, the two new site listings are for releases that have each achieved a Response Action Outcome (RAO) under the MCP. Based on the information available in the FirstSearch
report, online files from MassDEP, and on the distance and the inferred groundwater flow direction with respect to the Site, in our opinion, none of the area listings are likely to impact
Site soil and/or groundwater quality above MassDEP standards. 5.2 STORAGE TANK RECORDS The FirstSearch report did not identify any leaking underground storage tank sites within the ASTM-specified
search radius of the Site.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 7 E N G I N E E R I N G We contacted the Northampton Fire Department for information on storage tanks at the Site. Captain Therrian indicated
Fire Department records included an application for removal of a 50 to 75 gallon gasoline UST. However, a disposal receipt was not present in the file, so he indicated he was not certain
that the tank had been removed. There were no records of other storage tanks at the Site. The application for removal of the UST had been filed by CDT of North Maples Street, Florence.
We attempted to contact CDT by telephone, but the listed telephone number was no longer in service. As discussed in Section 4.0, Mr. Cordis Bean indicated a 100 gallon UST had been removed
from the east side of the barn/shop approximately six months ago. Mr. Bean recalled Wayne Feiden of the Northampton Planning Department had observed the UST removal. We therefore contacted
Mr. Feiden, who indicated he had witnessed the removal. He also recalled seeing a Fire Department vehicle present at the time. Mr. Feiden indicated he had not observed gasoline odors
or other evidence of a release from the tank. Based on the above information, we conclude that the gasoline UST was removed, but that proper disposal of the tank was not recorded with
the fire department. 5.3 ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS SOURCES A review of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) on-line list of Sites with Activity and
Use Limitations (AULs) did not identify an AUL at the Site. The Hampshire County Registry of Deeds records were searched on-line for the presence of environmental cleanup liens against
the property; none were identified. The Massachusetts Geographic Information System (MassGIS) was reviewed for priority resource mapping of the area. A copy of the priority resources
plan is provided as Figure 3. Northern portions of the Site along the Mill River are mapped as wetlands and an estimated habitat of rare wildlife in wetlands areas. Construction and
other activities in northern portions of the property may therefore be restricted and subject to permitting by the local Conservation Commission. The MCP identifies different reporting
classifications for potential releases to soil and groundwater. Groundwater located within current or potential drinking water source areas is classified as RCGW-1. Current drinking
water source areas are defined as areas: Within a Zone II or Interim Wellhead Protection Area for a public water supply; Within the Zone A of a Class A surface water body used
as a public water supply; or Within 500 feet of a private water supply well.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 8 E N G I N E E R I N G Potential drinking water source areas are defined as areas: 500 feet or more from a public water supply line;
Within an area designated by a municipality specifically for the protection of groundwater quality; or Within a Potentially Productive Aquifer (PPA) that has not been excluded
as a Non-Potential Drinking Water Source Area (NPDWSA). Based on our review of the MassGIS priority resource mapping, the Site is located within a medium yield Potentially Productive
Aquifer (PPA), and is therefore within a potential drinking water source area. The Site is not located in a current
drinking water source area. Buildings in the Site vicinity are serviced by municipal sewer and water. Officials at the Northampton Health Department were not aware of private wells within
500 feet of the Site. Based on the above information, the applicable Site groundwater classification for release reporting under the MCP would be RCGW-1. Soil located within 500 feet
of residential property or within a current or potential drinking water source area is classified as RCS-1 for MCP reporting purposes. Site soils would therefore be classified as RCS-1.
No other Additional Environmental Records Sources were reviewed. 5.4 PRIOR ASSESSMENTS OTO completed a Phase I/II ESA of the property on behalf of the City of Northampton in February
2010. That assessment included a standard Phase I review of information, as well as collection and analysis of soil and groundwater samples from the property. The ESA identified historic
used of the Site and vicinity as residential and agricultural purposes since at least 1900. An orchard was formerly located at the northern end of the Site, in the area shown on Figure
2. Three Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) were identified during the Phase I/II ESA. The first was a gasoline UST on the east side of the barn/shop. Collection and analysis
of a groundwater sample from adjacent to the UST did not identify gasoline impacts in groundwater. Removal of the UST was recommended. The second REC was pesticide use in historic apple
orchards on Site. Soil testing was conducted in the main orchard area on the north side of the property. Arsenic and dieldrin were detected above Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP)
Reportable Concentrations in soil samples collected from the former orchard area. In our opinion, these constituents are exempt from reporting under the MCP as they are believed to be
present due to historic use of pesticides on Site in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 9 E N G I N E E R I N G The third REC was an abandoned private solid waste fill area located at the north end of the property. The area
was formerly a gulley, and was filled with household and farm debris such as cans, bottles and other trash. No disposal of hazardous materials in the area was identified. Use of the
fill area reportedly stopped approximately 30 years ago, when the area was covered with soil. We were unable to install a groundwater monitoring well in this area due to subsurface conditions.
A soil sample from the water saturated zone downgradient of the area did not contain lead, arsenic or other pesticides at levels above Reportable Concentrations. However, the fill materials
are unknown. We recommended caution in future use of this area, and further exploration of the fill if development of the area was planned. Other materails potentially associated with
oil or hazardous materials were observed at various locations around the property, but were not identified as RECs because there was no indication of a release or potential release to
the environment. An unused, apparently empty tank was stored above ground in the corn crib. Additionally, multiple drums, buckets and other containers in which oil or hazardous materials
may be present were observed in the barn closest to Spring Street. We recommended proper disposal of those materials 6.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE 6.1 METHODOLOGY AND LIMITING CONDITIONS Our
Site Reconnaissance was conducted on August 24, 2010 in the company of Mr. Cordis Bean, who provided access to the interior of the barn/shop and the garage at the southern end of the
property. At the time of our February 2010 ESA, we were not aware of the garage as a part of the potential property transfer, and did not observe the interior of the building at that
time. Access to portions of the property and observation of the ground surface were limited by dense vegetation. 6.2 SITE SETTING AND OBSERVATIONS The Site is located in a lightly developed
area used primarily for residential and agricultural purposes. Photographs of relevant features are provided in Appendix B. Our observations are presented in the following sections,
which follow the ASTM standard outline format. 6.2.1 Hazardous Substances and Petroleum Products Multiple cans and buckets, and one drum, of oil and/or hazardous materials were observed
in the barn/shop at the southern end of the Site, near Spring Street. The contents included primarily paint (multiple one-gallon cans), automotive fluids, and cleaners. Much of the shop
has been emptied since our February 2010 ESA. Two dumpsters were located outside the shop at the time of our Site visit. The remaining containers were clustered in two areas of the shop
ground floor, in apparent preparation for disposal. We did not observe evidence of a reportable release associated with these containers.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 10 E N G I N E E R I N G Several small containers of automotive fluids and paints were also observed in the garage interior. 6.2.2 Storage
Tanks We did not observe evidence of above ground or underground storage tanks during our Site reconnaissance. As discussed in our February 2010 ESA, one empty storage tank was previously
observed in the corn crib. That tank was not present at the time of our August 2010 site visit. The gasoline UST previously located on the east side of barn/shop has also been removed.
6.2.3 Odors No odors indicative of a release of oil or hazardous materials were observed during our Site reconnaissance. 6.2.4 Pools of Liquid No pools of standing water or other liquids
were observed at the Site or immediately abutting the property during our Site reconnaissance. 6.2.5 Drums One drum was observed in the barn/shop, as shown on the photograph in Appendix
B. The drum was in good condition, and did not appear to be leaking. The drum was clustered with other containers of oil/hazardous materials, apparently in preparation for disposal by
the owner. Several abandoned steel drums were observed in exterior portions of the Site during our reconnaissance. The drums were empty and rusting, with no indicators of their former
contents. There is evidence of drum usage for nonhazardous purposes, such as trash storage and concrete footing forms, on Site. No indication of a release was identified in the vicinity
of the drums, which are therefore not identified as a REC. 6.2.6 Hazardous Substances and Petroleum Products Containers As described in Section 6.2.1, multiple containers were observed
inside the barn/shop and garage that may contain, or may have contained, oil and/or hazardous materials. 6.2.7 Unidentified Substance Containers As described in Section 6.2.1, multiple
unidentified containers were observed in the barn/shop and garage. In addition, multiple unidentified, empty, rusted, 55 gallon steel drums were located on the ground surface in wooded
areas at the southern end of the Site.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 11 E N G I N E E R I N G 6.2.8 PCBs No transformers or other equipment identified as potentially containing polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) was identified at the Site. 6.2.9 Interior Observations The barn/shop has a concrete floor, which is in generally good condition, with minor staining. The interior of the barn/shop
has been substantially emptied since the time of our February 2010 ESA. Multiple containers of paints, cleaners, and automotive fluid remain. These are largely clustered near the door
at the southern end of the building. The central portion of the shop is currently used for hay storage. Mr. Bean indicated this was from recent haying conducted in the northern field.
The second floor of the barn/shop included empty rooms formerly used for squash storage and chickens. The top (third) floor was a storage area cluttered with stove pipe and small coal
stoves. No oil or hazardous materials storage was observed on the second or third floor. The garage was of wood construction with a concrete floor slab. The interior of the garage was
used for storage of a car and motorcycle. Multiple small containers of automotive fluids were present. There were small areas of staining on the concrete floor consistent with automotive
leaks and repairs. In our opinion, these were not indicative of a release to the environment. The interior of the hog house contained wooden animal pens bedded with hay. A propane-fired
heating system and a water pump were observed in the northwestern corner of the ground floor. The upper floor of the building contained a small amount of trash, such as an old computer
and a tire. We did not identify conditions indicative of an oil or hazardous materials release in the hog house interior. 6.2.10 Exterior Observations -Pits, Ponds or Lagoons No pits
or lagoons of standing water or other liquids were observed at the Site or immediately abutting property during our Site reconnaissance. A small pond formerly used as a hog wallow is
located in the west central portion of the Site. Mr. Bean indicated the pond is a natural feature, and that it goes nearly dry seasonally. 6.2.11 Exterior Observations -Stained Soil
or Pavement No staining or other observations indicative of a release were observed in exterior portions of the Site. Portions of the property are overgrown, such as the fill area, therefore
the ground surface was not visible in some locations.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 12 E N G I N E E R I N G 6.2.12 Exterior Observations -Stressed Vegetation No stressed vegetation was observed at the Site or immediately
abutting property during our reconnaissance. 6.2.13 Exterior Observations -Solid Waste An abandoned private solid waste fill area is located in the northern portion of the property,
west of the dirt road in the former orchard area. Mr. Bean indicated the area was used for general trash, such as cans and bottles, and that hazardous materials were not deposited here.
The area was heavily overgrown, impeding observation of the ground surface over much of the area. Small quantities of debris were visible at the ground surface. However, the area was
largely covered over with soil at the time a sewer line was installed in the vicinity, approximately 30 years ago, according to Mr. Bean. Because of the soil cover, it is difficult to
determine the limits of filling, but we estimate an approximately 20 foot wide by 80 foot length of gulley may contain fill. Miscellaneous debris such as single empty drums and old construction
materials were observed in limited areas at the southern end of the Site, near the corn crib and dirt access road. No indication of a reportable release associated with these materials
was observed. 6.2.14 Exterior Observations -Waste Water No waste water discharge was observed at the Site or immediately abutting property during our Site reconnaissance. 6.2.15 Exterior
Observations – Wells Mr. Bean identified the location of a shallow water well on Site, off the northwestern corner of the hog house. The well was formerly used to provide water for livestock,
and is not plumbed to residential supplies. No supply wells or groundwater monitoring wells were observed during our Site visit. The monitoring wells installed by OTO in December 2009
were likely destroyed during removal of the gasoline UST. As noted in Section 5.2, this area is serviced by the municipal water system. 6.2.16 Exterior Observations -Septic Systems According
to Mr. Cordis Bean, one out-of-service septic tank is located at the southern end of the Site, near the barn/shop. While the septic tank is on Site, the residence associated with it
is not. The septic system was formerly used by the residence, which is currently connected to the municipal sewer system.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 13 E N G I N E E R I N G 7.0 FINDINGS A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Update of the approximately 47 acres of property on Spring
Street in Florence (Northampton), Massachusetts has been conducted by O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun Associates, Inc. (OTO). The update was prepared in conformance with the ASTM Standard E1527-05,
Section 4.6. A summary of our findings is presented below. Site Use The Site is currently actively used for agricultural purposes. The northern field was recently hayed, and the central
field currently contains a potato crop. This use differs from our February 2010 ESA, at which time use of the land for agriculture was believed to have ceased. The potato crop has likely
been sprayed with fertilizer and/or pesticides. Storage Tanks The gasoline underground storage tank (UST) identified on the northeastern side of the barn/shop has been removed since
the time of our February 2010 ESA. The UST reportedly had a 100 gallon capacity, and was removed approximately six months ago. Fire department records include an application for a permit
to remove the tank, but no records of tank disposal. However, the removal was observed by Mr. Cordis Bean and Mr. Wayne Feiden of the City of Northampton, who both indicate a Fire Department
representative was also on Site at the time. The out-of-service storage tank previously observed in the corn crib has been removed. Records Review No listings for the Site were identified
during our review of standard site assessment databases and files. A total of six State-listed spills/releases were identified at two locations within one mile of the subject Site. Each
of the releases was over one-half mile away from the Site. Based on the information available in the FirstSearch report, online files from MassDEP, and on the distance and the inferred
groundwater flow direction with respect to the Site, none of the area listings are likely to impact Site soil and/or groundwater quality above MassDEP. No environmental cleanup liens
against the property were identified. Site Reconnaissance Two dumpsters were located outside the barn/shop at the southern end of the Site at the time of our Site visit. The building
had been substantially emptied of contents since our prior Site visit. However, multiple containers of paint, cleaners, and automotive fluids remain in the building. These containers
are clustered on the ground level of the building. No indication of a reportable release associated with these materials was observed. The barn/shop was in current use for hay storage.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 14 E N G I N E E R I N G A garage not previously understood to be part of the Site was included in our Site visit. The garage has a concrete
floor, and was in use for storage of an automobile and a motorcycle. Multiple small containers of automotive fluid were present in this building. No indication of a reportable release
was observed. Interior portions of the hog house contained animal pens and hay. A small amount of trash was observed in the upper level. No indications of an oil or hazardous material
release were identified in the hog house. An old solid waste fill area was observed at the northern end of the Site. The area appears to have been created in a gulley, a portion of which
is still visible at the northern limit of filling. The area has been largely covered with soil and is heavily overgrown, therefore, for the most part, waste materials are not visible.
Small piles of debris were also observed at other locations, primarily in the vicinity of the house, barn and corn crib. Materials in these piles consisted of construction materials
and empty steel drums. No indications of a reportable release were observed during the Site visit. 8.0 OPINION AND CONCLUSIONS We have performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
update in general conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Standard E1527-05, on the property at 209 Spring Street in Northampton, Massachusetts, exclusive of the residence
and barn abutting the residence. Any exceptions to, or deletions from this practice are described in Sections 2.4 and 9.0 of this report. We identified two Recognized Environmental Conditions,
as defined in the ASTM Standard, during the course of our upate: 1. The historic apple orchards in which pesticides were applied; and 2. The solid waste fill area at the northern end
of the Site. These two conditions were also identified as RECs in our February 2010 Phase I/II ESA. The RECs are discussed in further detail below. Based on the information available
to us, we conclude the gasoline underground storage tank (UST) identified as a REC in our prior ESA has since been removed. Records of proper disposal of the tank were not available
at the Fire Department. However, two eyewitnesses report similar observations regarding the UST removal. No indication of a gasoline release was reported at the time of UST removal.
The former UST area is no longer considered a REC. Current use of the main field for potato farming may have involved the application of pesticides and/or fertilizers. Such applications,
if any, are presumed to have been performed in accordance with manufacturer’s labeling, and are thus exempt from reporting under the MCP.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 15 E N G I N E E R I N G 8.1 PESTICIDES IN ORCHARDS Pesticides were identified in shallow soil in the historic apple orchard area at the
north end of the Site. The orchard was cut down in approximately 1970. The area is currently an open agricultural field. Arsenic and dieldrin were detected above Massachusetts Contingency
Plan (MCP) Reportable Concentrations in soil samples collected from this area. In the absence of specific data on soil conditions within the two smaller orchard areas at the southern
end of the Site, those areas should also be presumed to be impacted with lead, arsenic and organic pesticides. The MCP, at 310 CMR 40.0317(8)(c), contains an exemption from MassDEP notification
for pesticides applied in a manner consistent with their labeling. Based on this historic use of this property as an orchard, the similar levels detected at the sample locations, this
exemption likely applies to Site conditions. While we do not believe the orchard conditions represent a reportable release of oil or hazardous materials under state or federal regulations,
the results may have public health implications depending on planned future use of the property. We would be pleased to meet with you to discuss these implications. Should you acquire
this property, we recommend you notify the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) and indicate your intention not to formally report this condition. If redevelopment
of this area occurs, we recommend you consult with a Licensed Site Professional (LSP) regarding proper soil management if the soils are relocated, and regarding potential public health
risks that may be associated with use of the area. We recommend you assume similar conditions are present in the smaller former orchard areas at the southern end of the property. 8.2
SOLID WASTE FILL AREA An abandoned private solid waste fill area is located at the north end of the property. The area was formerly a gulley, and was reportedly filled with household
and farm debris such as cans, bottles and other trash. No disposal of hazardous materials in the area was reported, however, we presume that materials such as “empty” pesticide containers
were disposed of here. Use of the area reportedly stopped approximately 30 years ago, when the area was covered with soil. For the most part, fill materials were therefore not visible
during our Site reconnaissance. The contents of the fill area are unknown, and there may be oil or hazardous materials present within the waste. Based on the limited visual indicators
of fill area available due to soil cover, we estimate the fill covers a 20 foot by 80 foot area. If the fill is ten feet thick, there could be an estimated 300 cubic yards of solid waste
in this area. We recommend you use caution in your future use of this area. If development of the fill area is planned, explorations should be conducted to further characterize the materials
present.
O’Reilly, Talbot & Okun [ A S S O C I A T E S ] 16 E N G I N E E R I N G 8.3 ADDITIONAL CONCERNS Despite extensive removal of contents from the barn/shop at the southern end of the property,
multiple containers remain in the building, including drums, buckets, and smaller containers which may hold automotive fluids, cleaners, paints, and/or other oil or hazardous materials.
Several small containers of automotive fluids are also present in the garage. We recommend proper disposal of these materials. 9.0 DEVIATIONS We are not aware of significant deletions
or deviations from the ASTM E1527-05 update practice used to prepare this report. We did not encounter significant data gaps in conducting our Phase I ESA update. 10.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES
No additional services outside of the ASTM E1527-05 update practice were requested or have been performed in completing this environmental site assessment. 11.0 REFERENCES FirstSearch

OF EXPERTISE Risk Assessment Data Validation /Analytical Quality Assurance Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) Compliance PROFILE Valerie Tillinghast is an environmental chemist with
more than 15 years experience on projects ranging from initial site investigations to Superfund sites. Valerie's work focuses on data usability issues and human health risk characterizations.
In this capacity, she provides data validation services, statistical valuations of data scattering and trends, and fate and transport modeling to estimate exposure point concentrations.
Her experience with laboratory and onsite analysis gives her insight into data quality and usability. PROJECT EXPERIENCE Millbury Perchlorate Site Millbury, Massachusetts, ongoing Conducted
MCP investigations on groundwater and surface water at a large construction site where perchlorate had seeped into public drinking water supply. Perchlorate is an emerging contaminant
that has only recently been assigned regulatory limits by MassDEP and EPA, thus making Val’s expertise invaluable. Monsanto Company Chemical Plant Closure Everett, Massachusetts, onoing
Provided a range of MCP support services for a complex, 80-acre former chemical manufacturing site, including risk assessments, quarterly groundwater monitoring, preparation of plans
for public involvement meetings, on-site emission testing, removal actions and MCP reports. Nathan Bill Park Brownfields Site Springfield, Massachusetts, ongoing Prepared a Brownfields
Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) for EPA approval. This project was a high-visibility public park for which rapid action was desirable. The QAPP was prepared by OTO and EPA was
approved within a few weeks, allowing remedial response actions to begin. Former Hingham Shipyard Hingham, Massachusetts, ongoing Conducted MCP investigations and soil gas surveys at
a contaminated shipyard being redeveloped for mixed commercial and residential use. Used Method 3 Risk Characterization and implemented an AUL to achieve a Response Action Outcome and
ensure safe conditions for future users of the property. REGISTRATIONS and AFFILIATIONS Licensed Site Professional (LSP), Massachusetts Licensed Site Professional Association (LSPA),

Remediation PROFILE Hydrogeologist and Licensed Site Professional (LSP) Kevin O’Reilly has more than 25 years of experience performing and managing a wide range of hazardous waste site
investigations and remediation projects, and has supervised more than 300 groundwater studies in New England. His experience includes hydrogeological groundwater remediation, sludge
disposal landfills, groundwater modeling, and soil and groundwater remediation. He has served as an expert witness in litigation cases determining responsible parties and remedial response
costs at hazardous waste disposal sites. PROJECT EXPERIENCE Nathan Bill Park Springfield, Massachusetts, ongoing As LSP, managed fast-tracked assessment of fill materials that were deposited
at site more than 60 years ago. Performed study, including a Method 3 Risk Characterization, that quickly demonstrated that surficial soils posed no risk to park users. Worked closely
with MassDEP and OTO professional engineers to develop cost effective cap design. Construction has been completed and the park is in use. The final report is scheduled to be submitted
in the summer of 2008. Dry Cleaning Facility East Longmeadow, 2004-2008 Served as LSP at dry-cleaning business where solvent had contaminated the groundwater. Used innovative vapor testing
methods and Method 3 risk characterization to eliminate the need for expensive remediation techniques that had been recommended by the previous consultant. Achieved site closure in months
instead of years and cut costs by over $100,000. Metal Salvage Business Chicopee, Massachusetts, 2006-2008 Served as LSP for investigation and remediation at an operating salvage yard
with extensive metal, oil and PCB soil contamination. Implemented an innovative and cost-effective on-site remediation plan where contaminated soil was relocated to an unused portion
of the property. Avoided expensive excavation procedures that would have jeopardized regular business operations. REGISTRATIONS and AFFILIATIONS Licensed Site Professional (LSP), Massachusetts
