Dear Mayor Higgins:
In accordance with the Public Notification Procedures of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan
(MCP, 310 CMR 40.1403(3)(f) and (h)), we are writing to notify you of the submittal to the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MA DEP) of a Immediate Response
Action Completion, Phase IV Completion and Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement for
the above-referenced site. The 47 Center Street site is the location of a historical release of
No. 2 fuel oil from an underground storage tank (UST). The RAO Statement details
assessment and remedial activities performed at the site in response to the historical fuel oil
release.
As a result of assessment and remedial activities performed at the site, a Class A-2 RAO
Statement has been prepared for the release, indicating that a condition of No Significant
Risk of harm to health, safety, public welfare and the environment exists at the site and no
further response actions are required. A portion of the disposal site boundary is located
with Center Court (City public right-of-way), therefore you are receiving a copy of this
report also. A copy of the RAO submittal is also available for review online at DEP's website.
The file can be accessed at the following web address:
htto://public.dep.state.ma.us/wsc viewer/main.asox,
under the file listed for DEP RTN 1-13601. In addition, public file review sessions are
scheduled weekly by appointment. For more information about file reviews, please call the
MADEP Service Center at (413) 784-1100. If you have any questions or comments about
this correspondence, please contact me at (508) 471-9621.
Very truly yours,
TIGHE & BQND, INC.
