RE: The Honor Court
Paint Chip Removal Project
Dear Mr. Donahue:
Environmental Compliance Services, Inc. (ECS) is pleased to present this final report
regarding the removal of paint chips and soil deposited at property occupied by the Honor
Court on Middle Street in Florence, Massachusetts.
ECS was contracted by the Honor Court to oversee the removal of buried paint chips,
dirt and mulch from the property. This material was apparently deposited during or following
a house painting project completed by residents of the Honor Court. The paint chips, mulch
and soil were allegedly raked up from around the scraped and painted house and brought to
the Honor Court property, where they were stockpiled and eventually buried. The area where
the material was located is at the end of a paved driveway on the Honor Court property,
between the end of the driveway and a fence separating the property from the abutting lot.
The Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) allows for the excavation and off-site
disposal of up to 20 cubic yards of soil contaminated by a release of hazardous materials.
The mechanism for this type of clean-up is called a Limited Removal Action (LRA). An LRA
can be undertaken at a site where a 120 day MCP notification requirement is applicable. The
LRA must be completed in the notification period, which ends 120 days after the point when
the notification requirement is realized. If the LRA successfully remediates the condition
which triggered the 120 notification requirement, then notification to the DEP is no longer
required under the MCP. Based on the historical information regarding the deposition of the
paint chips, soil and mulch, ECS determined that the volume of contaminated media present
should be well below 20 cubic yards and that the material could be cleaned-up through an
LRA.

The LRA was initiated on February 15, 1995. Kestrel Drilling and Remediation
personnel, under the supervision of Kevin Sheehan, Licensed Site Professional (LSP), of ECS,
utilized a jackhammer to break up the frost in the area where the material was believed to
have been buried. The paint chips were encountered at a depth of approximately 6 inches
below the ground surface between the end of an on-site driveway and a fence separating the
site from the abutting property. Soil above the chips, which was not in contact with the
chips, was segregated into two drums labeled Soil-1 and Soil-2. This soil was later replaced
at the site of the excavation. Paint chips were observed to be present in a distinct layer
ranging from less than an inch to several inches thick, in many places underlain by a fabric
drop-cloth. The layer of chips, soil and mulch was excavated and placed in drums. Five
drums were filled with a mixture of paint chips, soil and mulch (labeled Paint 1-5 and samples
P-1 to P-5). The material excavated consisted primarily of soil, with some paint chips, mulch
and parts of the drop cloth. Approximately six inches of apparently unaffected soil was
removed from below the layer of paint chips. One drum was filled with soil from above and
below the chips, which was in contact with the chips layer (labeled Soil-3 and sample 5-3).
Two post excavation soil samples were collected from the bottom of the excavation for
analysis for total lead (Bottom-1 and Bottom-2). Samples were also collected from each drum
which was filled for analysis for TCLP lead (S-3, P-1 to P-5).
The results for the analysis of drum samples indicated that four drums of excavated
paint chips/soil mixture had TCLP lead concentrations above 5 milligrams per liter(mg/L). The
remaining drum of paint chips/soil and the drum of soil had TCLP lead concentrations below
5 mg/L. The two post excavation soil samples had concentrations of total lead of 589
milligrams per kilogram (mg/Kg) and 607 mg/Kg. The applicable Reportable Concentration for
the site, which was the remedial goal for the LRA, is 300 mg/Kg.
Based on this data, ECS recommended that additional soil removal be performed. An
additional 6 inches of soil were removed on March 2, 1995. This soil was placed into two
drums (labeled Soil-4 and Soil-5) and samples were collected from the drums (Soil-4 and Soil-
5) and from the bottom of the excavation (S-1 and 5-2) for analysis. The post excavation soil
samples had total lead concentrations 784 mg/Kg and 120 mg/Kg, respectively. Neither of
the drums had TCLP lead concentrations in excess of 5 mg/L. Based on this data, ECS
recommended additional excavation of the affected area.
Additional excavation was completed on March 15, 1994. An additional six inches of
soil were removed from the excavated area and drummed. Two drums were filled with soil
(labeled Soil-6 and Soil-7). Samples were collected from the two new drums (Soil-6 and Soil-
7) and from the bottom of the excavation (S-2 and S-2A) for analysis. The post excavation
soil samples had total lead concentrations 17.9 mg/Kg and 18.5 mg/Kg, respectively. These

concentrations are considered to represent background concentrations for the area of the site.
Neither of the drums had TCLP lead concentrations in excess of 5 mg/L.
All analytical data is included as Attachment 1. This data indicates that the LRA has
been satisfactorily completed. A total of 10 drums of material were generated as part of the
LRA. This is an approximate volume of 3 cubic yards of material removed. ECS recommends
that the five drums of soil and paint chips be disposed of as Hazardous Waste since samples
from four of the five exhibited TCLP lead concentrations in excess of 5 mg/Kg and the fifth
sample had an elevated concentration, slightly below the 5 mg/Kg concentration. Based on
the analytical data, the 5 drums of soil had TCLP lead concentrations significantly lower than
the 5 mg/Kg limit. ECS therefore recommends that these soils be disposed of in a lined
landfill. Following disposition of this material,there is no further action necessary with regard
to this issue.
