1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
O ’Reilly, Talbot & O kun Associates, Inc. (O TO ) has conducted a Phase I/II E nvironmental Site
Assessment (E SA) for property located at 209 Spring Street in the Florence section of
N orthampton, Massachusetts. The E SA has been prepared in conformance with the ASTM
Standards E 1527-05 and E 1903-02 on behalf of the City of N orthampton. The assessment
consisted of: a records review; a Site and area reconnaissance; interviews with Site representatives;
a review of regulatory agency file information; interviews with local government officials;
installation of two groundwater monitoring wells; collection and analysis of soil and groundwater
samples; 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, 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 not planned
to be part of the potential property transfer.
O ur Phase I assessment identified three Recognized E nvironmental Conditions (RE Cs) at the
Site: an underground storage tank (UST), historic pesticide use in the orchards, and historic solid
waste filling in one area. Phase II activities were conducted to assess these RECs.
The first RE C is a 100 gallon UST located near the northeastern corner of the barn/shop near
Spring Street. Use of the tank was reportedly discontinued when it was determined to be leaking,
approximately 50 years ago. The tank is believed to remain below grade, unfilled. Field screening
of soil samples and laboratory analysis of a groundwater sample from the UST area did not
indicate the presence of gasoline. The UST is therefore identified as an historical RE C.
However, to come into compliance with Massachusetts tank regulations, and for safety
considerations, we recommend the UST be removed.
The second REC is 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. However, should you acquire this
property, we recommend you notify the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
(MassD E P) 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 third RE C is an abandoned private solid waste fill area is located at the north end of the
property. The area was formerly a gulley, and was filled with household and farm debris such as
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]

E N G I N E E R I N G
cans, bottles and other trash. N o 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 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.
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 did not have access to the barn interior
for a complete reconnaissance, therefore the types and volumes of materials present are
unknown. We recommend you use care to properly dispose of these materials.
For your convenience, a list of acronyms is provided in Section 16.0, at the end of this report.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 PURPOSE
This report presents the results of a Phase I & II E nvironmental Site Assessment (E SA)
performed at the former Bean Farm property located at 209 Spring Street in N orthampton,
Massachusetts. This Phase I & II E SA was performed in accordance with ASTM Standards
E1527-05 and E 1903-02. This work was performed at the request of the City of Northampton,
which may acquire the property. Mr. Wayne Feiden of the City of N orthampton Planning
D epartment served as the Key Site Manager. Mr. Cordis Bean, the son of the deceased owner,
served as the owner’s representative.
The purpose of our Phase I & II E SA was to evaluate the Site history and current conditions to
identify past or current Recognized E nvironmental Conditions (RE Cs) at the Site. The ASTM
Standard Practice defines "Recognized E nvironmental 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 RE Cs (H RE Cs) and known or suspected
environmental conditions be identified in the Phase I assessment report. The Standard defines
H RE Cs 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
The following tasks were undertaken:
A review of Standard Environmental Records Sources;
Interviews with the Key Site Manager and owner’s representative;
Interviews with local government officials;
A review of Site history;
A Site reconnaissance;
Collection and analysis of soil and groundwater samples; and,
Evaluation and report preparation.
2.3 SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS
O TO has performed the environmental record searches in accordance with current ASTM and
industry practice. The data, findings, and conclusions presented in this E SA 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 E SA
can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding potential environmental conditions in connection with
the Site. O TO ’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,
O TO did not attempt to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of all
information reviewed or received during the course of this assessment.
3. O bservations 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
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]

E N G I N E E R I N G
portion of the Site. Access to the Site buildings was prevented by safety concerns. 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
otherwise.
The following is a non-comprehensive list of issues and conditions which the report user may
want to assess in connection with the real estate being evaluated and which are outside the scope
of the ASTM Phase I Site Assessment process:
1. Compliance with other site assessment report standards (bank or government agency
standards);
2. Review of compliance with environmental Activity and Use Limitations (AULs);
3. Asbestos Containing Building Materials;
4. Lead based paint;
5. Lead or other contaminants in drinking water;
6. Wetlands;
7. Regulatory compliance;
8. Cultural and historic resources;
9. Industrial hygiene;
10. Health and safety;
11. Ecological resources and Endangered species;
12. Indoor air quality;
13. Biological agents; and
14. Mold.
While not included in this proposal, OTO can help you evaluate many of these potential
concerns. Please feel free to contact us regarding these additional issues.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the referenced ASTM standards.

3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
3.1 LOCATION AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION
A Site Locus based on the current United States G eological Survey (USG S) topographic map of
the E asthampton, Massachusetts Q uadrangle (1:25,000 scale) is attached as Figure 1. A Site Plan
is provided as Figure 2. The property is listed in N orthampton 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 would be retained by the Bean family, and were not included in this E SA.
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 N orthampton,
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. G round 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.
3.3 CURRENT USE OF THE SITE
The Site is currently vacant, and is not used for any identified purpose. It was most recently used
for agricultural purposes, several years ago.
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 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.

E N G I N E E R I N G
3.5 CURRENT USES OF ADJOINING PROPERTIES
D uring 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 USER PROVIDED INFORMATION
A User Questionnaire (as referenced in the ASTM Standard) has been completed and provided to
O TO . The questionnaire was completed by Mr. Wayne Feiden of the N orthampton Planning
D epartment, and is attached in Appendix A. This Phase I & II E SA was conducted on behalf of
the City, which may acquire the property for use as recreational fields and/or agricultural land.
Mr. Feiden had no knowledge of environmental liens or Activity and Use Limitations at the
property, and indicated the property price reflects fair market value. The City is aware of an
underground gasoline storage tank near the barn/shop, an old solid waste fill area at the north
end of the property, and the likely use of pesticides at the Site during its agricultural use.
5.0 RECORDS REVIEW
5.1 STANDARD ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS SOURCES
The Standard E nvironmental Records Sources identified in the ASTM Standard were reviewed
for the Site and vicinity using a FirstSearch Technology Corporation (FirstSearch) database
search conducted on D ecember 1, 2009. 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 B.
N o database listings were identified for the Site property. N o Federal N PL (N ational Priorities
List or Superfund), CE RCLIS, RCRA Corrective Action Sites/TSD F or RCRA generator listings
were identified within the search radii. A total of four State-listed spills/releases were identified at
two locations within one mile of the subject Site. D etails of the releases were reviewed, and the
nearest release was approximately 0.75 miles from the Site.
Based on the information available in the FirstSearch report, online files from MassD E P, 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 standards.
5.2 ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS SOURCES
A review of the Massachusetts D epartment of E nvironmental Protection (MassD E P) on-line list
of Sites with Activity and Use Limitations (AULs) did not identify an AUL at the Site.
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]
7
E N G I N E E R I N G
The Massachusetts G eographic Information System (MassGIS) on-line priority resource map of
the Site and vicinity was reviewed on N ovember 30, 2009. A copy of that plan is provided as
Figure 3. The 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. G roundwater 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.
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. O fficials at the N orthampton H ealth
D epartment were not aware of private wells within 500 feet of the Site. Based on the above
information, the applicable Site groundwater classification 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.
5.3 PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCES
The United States G eological Survey (USG S) topographic map of the E asthampton,
Massachusetts Q uadrangle (1:25,000 scale) was reviewed and used to prepare the Site Locus
(Figure 1). As shown on that plan, the Site slopes gently downward towards the abutting Mill
River on the north. The elevation at the Southern portion of the Site, in the area around the farm
houses, ranges from approximately 260 to 270 feet above mean sea level (MSL). The remaining
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]
8
E N G I N E E R I N G
area north of the farm houses has a slightly lower elevation, and tends to be generally flat at an
approximate elevation of 250 feet above MSL.
5.4 HISTORICAL USE INFORMATION ON THE SITE AND ADJOINING
PROPERTY
O ur ASTM Standard H istorical Sources review included historic maps, aerial photographs, local
street directories, fire department records, and interviews with knowledgeable individuals. A
summary of relevant information obtained from these sources is presented below. Our interview
with Mr. Bean is discussed in Section 7.1.1.
5.4.1 Historic Maps and Photographs
We reviewed historic Sanborn Fire Insurance Map files, and found there was no coverage for the
Site and immediate vicinity. The closest area for which coverage was available was the southern
portion of Spring Street located south of Meadow Street. The absence of Sanborn map coverage
is common for areas that have not been heavily developed. Sanborn maps were developed
primarily to document commercial and industrial use for fire insurance purposes.
We reviewed the 1895 H istoric Topographic map from the UN H D iamond Library database of
H istoric USG S Maps of N ew E ngland online at nh.edu/nhtopos/N orthampton.htm on
D ecember 29, 2009. The USG S topographic map for the area showed one building, consistent
with a residence located just west of the Site along Spring Street. There were no buildings shown
on the Site. At that time the vicinity was sparsely developed.
Aerial photographs from 1965 and 2005 were provided to by the City of N orthampton.
Additionally, an aerial photograph from the 1990s was reviewed on the MassG IS website. The
photographs show the Site farm houses and surrounding land consistent with current conditions.
Consistent with information on historic use obtained during our interviews, the 1965 aerial
photograph shows an orchard in the northern portion of the Site. By the 1990s the orchard area
had been converted to an open field, contiguous with other open fields at the Site.
Copies of relevant sections of historic maps and photographs are provided in Appendix C.
5.4.2 Local Street Directories
We reviewed local street directories in approximately ten year increments for the period from
1889 to 1970, the last date for which a directory was available at the Forbes Library in
N orthampton on D ecember 29, 2009. The address historically associated with the Site is not
clear, and may have changed over time, therefore we reviewed listings for Spring Street between
Meadow Street and Chesterfield Road.
In 1909, Henry I. Bean was listed as a farmer at 173 Spring Street. The property continued to be
listed under H enry I. Bean until approximately 1949. In 1929, Fredrick H . Bean was listed at 190
Spring Street. In 1939 A.H . Bean was listed at 195 Spring Street. In 1949 Robert Bean was added
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]
9
E N G I N E E R I N G
to the listings at 233 Spring Street. Sometime from 1940 to 1959 the Bean property at 173 Spring
Street was sold to William Gorham. The 1969 listed Cordis L. Bean at 198 Spring Street. In 1979
the Surname Bean was listed at 190, 195, 198, and 233 Spring Street.
Based on street directory listings, neighboring property use appears to have been primarily
residential. The property at 150 Spring Street was identified as a commercial property (Florence
Ice Co.) from approximately 1929 to 1939. In 1939 Florence Ice Co. was also listed as
O ’D onnell BJ fuel oil. By 1949 the address at 150 Spring Street was not listed. That property is
approximately 800 feet southeast of the Site, near the intersection with Meadow Street.
A rifle range was listed at 228 Spring Street since between at least 1929 and 1969, at a location
currently identified as Colonel Lavalley Lane.
5.4.3 Assessor’s Office Records
We reviewed property record information for the Site available at the N orthampton Assessor’s
O ffice on January 8, 2010. The subject property was identified as map-block number 16C-025 at
209 Spring Street in Assessor’s records. The lot is listed as owned by Mr. Robert Bean. We
understand the owner to be deceased, and the estate not yet settled.
The Assessor’s card indicates there is one house located at 209 Spring Street and it was
constructed in 1900 and it is heated with an oil fired forced hot air heating system. That
residence was not included within the subject Site.
5.4.4 Storage Tanks
As discussed in Section 7.1.1, Mr. Cordis Bean indicated a 100 gallon UST on the east side of the
barn/shop was formerly used to store gasoline. That tank is believed to remain below ground,
empty and not formally abandoned.
There were no leaking underground storage tank sites identified within the search radii of the
FirstSearch report.
We requested storage tank records for the Site and vicinity at the N orthampton Fire D epartment
on D ecember 29, 2009. The Fire D epartment representative provided two records for Spring
Street, neither of which is believed to be on the subject Site. Copies of Spring Street tank records
are attached in Appendix D.
The first tank was located at 45 Spring Street. It was a 550 gallon steel underground storage tank
(UST) used to store fuel oil, and was removed in February 2000. The second tank record for
Spring Street was an application for a tank removal located at 465 Spring Street. The tank was a
550 gallon UST used to store fuel oil. The application was filed in May 1997. The records did not
include observations of subsurface conditions at the time of tank removal.

5.4.5 Summary of History
In summary, the Site and vicinity have been used for residential and agricultural purposes since at
least 1900. An orchard was formerly located at the northern end of the Site. O ne gasoline UST
was located on the east side of the barn/shop, and is believed to remain in-place, not formally
abandoned.
5.5 PRIOR ASSESSMENTS
No prior environmental assessment reports were identified for this property.
6.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
6.1 METHODOLOGY AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
O ur initial Site Reconnaissance was conducted on N ovember 30, 2009 in the company of Mr.
Wayne Feiden of the N orthampton Planning D epartment. That visit included observation of
exterior portions of the property only. Subsequently, on D ecember 23, 2009, we performed a
more detailed reconnaissance of the property in the company of Mr. Cordis Bean, who provided
access to the interior of the former hog house. The barn/shop near Spring Street was locked and
could not be accessed during our investigations. H owever, we were able to observe portions of
the interior through windows. The ground surface was snow-covered during our December visit,
but was visible during our N ovember visit. 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 E . O ur observations are
presented in the following sections, which follow the ASTM standard outline.
6.2.1 Hazardous Substances and Petroleum Products
N o current use of oil or hazardous materials was identified at the Site. The property was last
used for agricultural purposes several years ago. H owever, the barn/shop at the southern end of
the Site, near Spring Street, contains multiple drums, buckets and other containers. We were not
able to access the interior of the barn, but based on our observations through windows, oil
and/or hazardous materials including automotive fluids and general maintenance supplies such as
paints and cleaners are likely to remain inside.
6.2.2 Storage Tanks
D uring our Site reconnaissance, one storage tank was observed in a shed at the Site (see
photograph in Appendix E ). Based on the sound of the tank when the side was struck, it
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]
11
E N G I N E E R I N G
appeared to be empty or nearly empty. Mr. Bean indicated this tank had previously been used for
diesel fuel storage. N o indication of a release was observed on the ground surface in the tank
vicinity.
Mr. Bean indicated a location on the eastern side of the barn where a gasoline UST was located.
We did not observe fill or vent pipes in the vicinity of the reported UST, or at other locations on
Site. As discussed in Section 7.1.1, Mr. Bean indicated use of the UST was terminated
approximately 50 years ago when it was determined that the tank leaked. The tank had not been
formally abandoned, to his knowledge.
6.2.3 Odors
N o odors indicative of a release of oil or hazardous materials were observed during our Site
reconnaissance.
6.2.4 Pools of Liquid
N o pools of standing water or other liquids were observed at the Site or immediately abutting
property during our Site reconnaissance.
6.2.5 Drums
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.
N o 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 that may
contain, or may have contained, oil and/or hazardous materials. The types and quantities of
these materials could not be documented, as we were not provided access to the barn interior.
O ne steel storage tank was observed in the corn crib, just beyond the barn on the dirt access
road. The tank appeared to be empty. Mr. Bean indicated the tank had formerly been used as an
above-ground storage unit for diesel fuel.
No other oil or hazardous material containers were observed at the Site.
6.2.7 Unidentified Substance Containers
As described in Section 6.2.1, multiple unidentified containers were observed in the barn/shop.
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.

E N G I N E E R I N G
6.2.8 PCBs
N o transformers or other equipment identified as potentially containing polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) was identified at the Site.
6.2.9 Interior Observations
The interior of the barn/shop contains many drums, buckets, and other containers, as well as
farm equipment and other debris. Mr. Bean indicated this barn was formerly used as a shop. He
indicated that pesticides were not stored in this building, they had been stored in the barn directly
behind the residence, which is not part of the Site. O ur interior observations of the barn were
limited to what was visible through windows from outside the buildings, as the building was
locked on the date of our reconnaissance.
We observed the interior of the hog house in the company of Mr. Bean. The building 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.
As previously discussed, the corn crib contains one steel storage tank previously used to store
diesel fuel.
6.2.10 Exterior Observations - Pits, Ponds or Lagoons
N o pools of standing water or other liquids were observed at the Site or immediately abutting
property during our Site reconnaissance. A small pond 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.
6.2.12 Exterior Observations - Stressed Vegetation
N o 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 disposal 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
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]
13
E N G I N E E R I N G
general trash, such as cans and bottles, and that hazardous materials were not deposited here.
The area is currently overgrown with small brush. Small quantities of debris are 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.
Abandoned farming equipment and small piles of old construction materials and other debris
were observed in limited areas at the southern end of the Site, near the Spring Street barn. N o
indication of a reportable release associated with these materials was observed.
6.2.14 Exterior Observations - Waste Water
N o 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. N o supply wells or groundwater monitoring wells were observed during our
Site visit. 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.
7.0 INTERVIEWS
7.1 INTERVIEWS WITH OWNERS/OCCUPANTS/SITE MANAGER
O TO interviewed representatives of the current Site owner and the potential purchaser.
Information from those interviews is summarized in the following sections.
7.1.1 Site Owner
O TO interviewed Mr. Cordis Bean, the deceased owner’s son, for information on past Site use.
Mr. Bean has knowledge of the property spanning many decades, and currently resides at 198
Spring Street. O ur 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.
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]
14
E N G I N E E R I N G
Mr. Bean indicated an underground storage tank (UST) was formerly used to store gasoline at the
Site. He indicated the area where the UST was located, off the northeast corner of barn near
Spring Street. His recollection is that the UST had a 100 gallon capacity. Use of the UST was
discontinued when it was determined to be leaking, approximately 50 years ago. He did not recall
the tank being filled or formally abandoned. After that time, gasoline was brought to the Site in
five gallon containers; no replacement tank was installed.
Mr. Bean indicated the solid waste fill area at the northern end of the property was originally a
gulley that was filled over time with solid waste materials from the residence and farm.
Approximately thirty years ago, the City installed a large sewer line below the northern portion of
the property. At that time, the area was covered over with soil, and has not been used since. Mr.
Bean did not recall disposal of hazardous materials in the area, and indicated that it received
empty cans, bottles, and other nonhazardous refuse.
In regard to the orchard that was formerly located at the northern end of the Site, Mr. Bean
indicated that pesticide applications had historically included lead arsenate, D D T, malathion, and
captan. Chemicals were typically mixed in a 200 gallon container at the north end of the Site.
Water was pumped from the river near the orchard for this purpose. The pesticides were then
manually sprayed as the tank was pulled through the orchard, first by horses, and later by a
tractor. Pesticides were stored in an off-site barn. The orchard was cut down in approximately
1970. Remaining pesticides were cleared from the barn at that time, and donated or sold to
another orchard.
Field crops grown at the Site historically included hay, corn and hubbard squash. Mr. Bean
indicated these fields received fertilizer, but not pesticide applications. Agricultural use of the
fields continued up until a few years ago by Mr. Bean’s brother.
Feeder pigs and chicken eggs were also historically produced. H ogs and chickens were kept in
the hog house. Hogs were also sometimes kept in the hog shed, and were turned out into fenced
fields after corn harvesting. We observed the interior and exterior of the hog house in Mr.
Bean’s company. H e indicated the building was formerly heated with coal, but now uses
propane. There is one shallow dug well outside the northwestern corner of the building. The
water from this well was used only for livestock, and is not plumbed to residential supply lines.
7.1.2 Potential Purchaser/Site Manager
Mr. Wayne Feiden of the City of N orthampton Planning D epartment served as the Site Manager
for this property. The User Q uestionnaire completed by Mr. Feiden is provided in Appendix A,
and indicates the City is unaware of environmental impacts at the Site. The City is aware of the
underground storage tank formerly used for gasoline storage near the barn, a farm dump between
two fields near the river, and historic use of pesticides and herbicides on the property during its
use as a farm and orchard. Mr. Feiden provided a Site plan identifying the main orchard at the
north end of the property, as well as two smaller areas at the southern end of the property he
understands were historically used as orchards.

7.2 INTERVIEWS WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
We contacted the N orthampton D epartment of Public Works to apply for a trench permit in
regard to our planned subsurface explorations. O n D ecember 2, 2009, Mr. Tom Smith of the
D PW accompanied O TO on a Site visit, and identified the location of a major drain line which
runs approximately east-west across the northern portion of the Site, near the Mill River.
O TO visited the N orthampton Assessor’s O ffice, and H ealth D epartment on January 8, 2010.
OTO visited the Northampton Fire Department on December 29, 2009.
Assessor’s records are discussed in Section 5.4.3.
The H ealth D epartment did not identify any public wells, septic systems, or health concerns at
the Site.
The Building D epartment did not have any permits or other relevant information on record for
the property.
Fire Department files provided to us did not contain records of storage tanks at the Site.
8.0 PHASE I FINDINGS
A Phase I E nvironmental Site Assessment of the approximately 47 acres of property on Spring
Street in Florence (Northampton), Massachusetts has been conducted by O ’Reilly, Talbot &
O kun Associates, Inc. (O TO ). The Phase I assessment was prepared in conformance with the
ASTM Standard E1527-05. A summary of our findings and conclusions is presented below.
Site Description
The Site is comprised of approximately 47 acres of land which are currently vacant. The property
is listed with the N orthampton Assessor’s office as map-block number 16C-025. The residence
and abutting barn on that parcel were not included in our ESA.
Site Use History
The Site and vicinity have been used for residential and agricultural purposes since at least 1900.
An apple orchard was formerly located in the northern portion of the Site, and received pesticide
applications including lead arsenate, D D T, malathion and captan. The orchard was cut down in
approximately 1970. Field crops produced at the Site have included hay, corn, and hubbard
squash. Feeder pigs and laying chickens were kept in the hog house in the central portion of the
Site. A gulley at the northern end of the Site was historically filled with solid waste materials
from the farm and residence.

E N G I N E E R I N G
Storage Tanks
O ne underground storage tank (UST) formerly used to store gasoline was identified on the
northeastern side of the barn/shop near Spring Street. The UST reportedly had a 100 gallon
capacity, and its use was discontinued about 50 years ago when it was determined that the tank
leaked. We understand the tank was not formally abandoned, but remains in place empty.
O ne above-ground storage tank was observed in the corn crib near the red barn. The tank
appears to be empty or nearly empty. That tank was reportedly previously used to store diesel
fuel, and is currently out of service.
Records Review
N o listings for the Site were identified during our review of standard site assessment databases
and files. A total of four State-listed spills/releases were identified at two locations within one
mile of the subject Site. D etails of the releases were reviewed and the nearest release was
approximately 0.75 miles from the Site. Based on the information available in the FirstSearch
report, online files from MassD E P, 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.
Site Reconnaissance
The barn/shop near Spring Street was observed to be filled with containers, equipment and other
debris. We did not have access to interior portions of the barn, so we could not determine what
the contents of the containers was, if any. Several of the containers appeared to have been
automotive fluids.
Interior portions of the hog house contained animal pens and hay. A small amount of trash was
observed in the upper level. N o 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 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.
8.1 RECOGNIZED ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
We identified three Recognized E nvironmental Conditions, as defined in the ASTM Standard,
during the course of our Phase I assessment:

E N G I N E E R I N G
1. The historic apple orchards in which pesticides were applied;
2. The solid waste fill area at the northern end of the Site; and
3. The underground storage tank previously used to store gasoline near the barn/shop.
These three RECs were therefore assessed in our Phase II activities.
9.0 PHASE II ASSESSMENT
9.1 PHASE II SCOPE OF WORK
Our Phase II assessment consisted of the following additional tasks which when combined with
our Phase I report, meet the requirements of the ASTM standard E1903-02 for Phase II
assessments:
1. The advancement of seven soil borings;
2. the completion of two soil borings as a groundwater monitoring wells;
3. screening of soil samples for volatile organic compounds (VOCs);
4. the collection and analysis of soil samples; and
5. the collection and analysis one groundwater sample.
The activities are discussed in the following sections.
9.2 SOIL BORINGS AND MONITORING WELL INSTALLATION
O n D ecember 23, 2009, seven soil borings (BF-1 through BF-7) were performed at the Site by
Seaboard E nvironmental D rilling of Chicopee, Massachusetts using a G eoprobe direct push drill
rig. Boring locations are shown on Figure 2. Borings BF-1 and BF-2 were performed near the
former underground storage tank at the barn, and were completed as groundwater monitoring
wells. Boring BF-3 was completed near the solid waste fill area at the north end of the property.
Those borings were advanced to depths of twelve feet below grade. Borings BF-4 through BF-7
were shallow (one foot depth) borings for the purpose of surface soil sample collection in the
former orchard at the north end of the Site. O TO observed the borings, and collected soil
samples for classification and analysis. Materials encountered and screening results are presented
in the soil boring logs, attached in Appendix F.
D uring advancement of the borings, soil samples were collected continuously in four foot long
plastic sleeves. The sleeves were split open to expose the soils recovered from each boring. Two
soil samples, representative of the upper and lower two feet of material from each sleeve, were
placed into jars. The tops of the jars were covered with foil, and the jars were sealed and agitated
to allow for the development of headspace vapors. Soil samples were then screened for VO Cs
using a TEI Model 580B photoionization (PID) calibrated to read in parts per million as benzene.
PID readings in each of the samples were zero.

E N G I N E E R I N G
9.2.1 Former Underground Storage Tank Area
Borings BF-1 and BF-2 were performed on the east side of the barn near Spring Street, as shown
on Figure 2, to assess groundwater quality in the vicinity of a former UST used for gasoline
storage. Mr. Cordis Bean was on-site on the date of drilling, and indicated the approximately
location of the former UST. Based on the inferred groundwater flow direction, BF-2 is believed
to be downgradient (north) of the UST. Subsurface materials encountered at these locations
were primarily fine sand with a little fine to coarse gravel. G roundwater was encountered at
approximately eight feet below ground surface in this area. O ne-inch diameter groundwater
monitoring wells were placed in borings BF-1 and BF-2. The well screens were placed to span
the groundwater table to allow for detection of a separate phase floating petroleum layer, if
present. Additional well construction details are provided on the boring logs in Appendix F. N o
gasoline odors, positive PID readings, or other indicators of gasoline impacts were observed at
either location.
9.2.2 Former Solid Waste Fill Area
Boring BF-3 was performed at the northern end of the old solid waste fill area, which is located
west of the dirt road near the former orchard on the northern side of the property (see Figure 2).
This boring was placed to be on the inferred downgradient (north) side of the fill. We attempted
to install a monitoring well at this location to assess groundwater quality, however, the borehole
repeatedly collapsed above the water table. Three attempts were made at adjacent locations, with
collapse at the same depth in each case. Materials encountered at this location included
approximately two feet of topsoil underlain by sand and gravel to approximately ten feet below
grade. G rey clayey silt was present at approximately ten to twelve feet below grade, the
maximum depth of exploration in this area.
Because a monitoring well could not be installed in this area, we selected a soil sample collected
from the water saturated zone to submit for laboratory analysis. The samples from this boring
did not have detectable PID readings, indicating volatile organic compounds are not present at
significant levels. A sample from the 10 to 12 foot depth obtained from BF-3 was analyzed for
arsenic, lead, and pesticides at Con-Test Analytical Laboratory (Con-Test) of E ast Longmeadow,
Massachusetts under chain-of-custody procedures. A copy of the laboratory report is provided in
Appendix G.
As shown on Table 2, arsenic and pesticides were not detected in the soil sample from BF-3.
Lead was detected, but at a low level consistent with natural background.
9.2.3 Surface Soils in Former Orchard
The ground surface was frozen on the date of our explorations. The Geoprobe rig was therefore
used to collect surface soil samples from the former orchard area, which is currently an open
field. The locations of shallow soil samples BF-4 through BF-7 are shown on Figure 2. These
borings were placed to provide coverage of different portions of the former orchard. In each
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]
19
E N G I N E E R I N G
case, a sample was collected from approximately the upper twelve inches of material, and was
submitted for laboratory analysis of lead, arsenic, and pesticides. A copy of the laboratory report
is provided in Appendix E.
Soil analytical results are summarized on Table 2. As shown, arsenic and dieldrin were detected
in three of the four shallow soil samples at levels above MCP Reportable Concentrations (RCS-
1). D ieldrin is a very persistent insecticide that was widely used in the 1950s to 1970s. O ther
pesticides were detected in Site soil, but at levels below RCS-1s, including 4,4’-D D D , 4,4’-DDE
and 4,4’-D D T. Lead was detected in each sample at levels below the RCS-1, and, with the
exception of BF-4, consistent with natural background levels in Massachusetts soil.
9.3 GROUNDWATER SAMPLING
A groundwater sample was collected from monitoring well BF-2 on D ecember 29, 2009. This
well is located adjacent and on the presumed downgradient side of the former gasoline UST. The
sample was collected using a pre-cleaned, single-use PVC bailer. Prior to sampling,
approximately five times the volume of standing water in the well was removed to purge stagnant
water and permit collection of a sample representative of formation water. The sample was
submitted to Con-Test for volatile petroleum hydrocarbon (VPH ) analysis, which is the
MassDEP method used to detect gasoline-range petroleum constituents. It was also analyzed for
semivolatile organic compounds (SVO Cs) by E PA Method 8270C, including tentatively
identified compounds. This method is capable of detecting multiple heavier petroleum
constituents, such as might be associated with oils, as well as many pesticides. While Site history
does not indicate pesticides would have been applied near the barn, they may have been stored
and/or mixed in this area. A copy of the laboratory report is provided in Appendix E.
G roundwater analytical data are summarized on Table 3. As shown, VPH and SVO Cs were not
detected.
10.0 OPINION AND CONCLUSIONS
We have performed a Phase I and Phase II E nvironmental Site Assessment in general
conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Standards E 1527-05 and E 1903-02 of the
property at 209 Spring Street in N orthampton, 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 10.0 of this report. Three Recognized E nvironmental Conditions (RE Cs) were
identified during our Phase I assessment activities. Phase II activities were conducted to assess
these RECS, as described in the following sections.
10.1 UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK
A 100 gallon underground storage tank (UST) is located near the northeastern corner of the
barn/shop near Spring Street. Use of the tank was reportedly discontinued when it was
determined to be leaking, approximately 50 years ago. The tank is believed to remain below
grade, unfilled. Field screening of soil samples and laboratory analysis of a groundwater sample
O’Re i l l y, Ta l b o t & Ok u n
[ A S S O C I A T E S ]
20
E N G I N E E R I N G
from the UST area did not indicate the presence of gasoline. H owever, to come into compliance
with Massachusetts tank regulations, and for safety considerations, we recommend the UST be
removed. If possible, we recommend the UST be removed prior to closing, as the exact location
of the UST is unknown, and the favorable groundwater testing does not preclude the presence of
impacted soil.
10.2 PESTICIDES IN ORCHARD
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 MassD E P 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 of the of the property. We would be pleased to
meet with the City to discuss these implications.
10.3 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. N o 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.
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 fill did not contain
lead, arsenic or other pesticides at levels above Reportable Concentrations. H owever, 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.

10.4 ADDITIONAL CONCERNS
Additionally, the barn/shop near Spring Street is cluttered with a large volume of debris including
drums, buckets, and smaller containers which may hold automotive fluids, pesticides, and/or
other oil or hazardous materials. We did not have access to the barn interior for a complete
reconnaissance, therefore the types and volumes of oil and/or hazardous materials present, if
any, are unknown. We recommend you use care to properly dispose of these materials.
11.0 DEVIATIONS
We are not aware of significant deletions or deviations from the ASTM E 1527-05 practice used
to prepare this report. We did not encounter significant data gaps in conducting our Phase I
ESA report.
12.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Subsurface explorations conducted as part of this investigation are discussed in Section 9.0.
Otherwise, no additional services outside of the ASTM E1527-05 practice were requested or have
been performed in completing this environmental site assessment.

USER QUESTIONNAIRE
Page 1 of 3
ASTM E1527-05
User Questionnaire
Site Name and Address: Bean Farm, Spring Street, Florence, City of Northampton
Owner: Bean Family. The City of Northampton hopes to purchase.
Occupant: Bean Family
Form Completed By: Wayne Feiden Date: January 11, 2010
Representing: City of Northampton
In order to qualify for one of the landowner liability protections (LLPs) offered by the Small
Business Liability Relief and Brownfield Revitalization Act of 2001 (the “Brownfields
Amendments”), the user must provide the following information (if available) to the
environmental professional. Failure to provide this information could result in a
determination that “all appropriate inquiry” is not complete.
(1.) Are you aware of any environmental cleanup liens against the property that are
filed or recorded under federal, tribal, state or local law? If “yes”, please list all
that apply.
NO we are not
(2.) Are you aware of any Activity and Use Limitations (AULs), such as engineering
controls, land use restrictions or institutional controls that are in place at the Site
and/or have been filed or recorded in a registry under federal, tribal, state or
local laws? If “yes”, please list all that apply.
NO, we are not.
Page 2 of 3
(3.) As the user of this E SA, do you have specialized knowledge or experience
related to the property or nearby properties? For example, are you involved in
the same line of business as the current or former occupants of the property or
an adjoining property so that you would have specialized knowledge of the
chemicals and processes used by this type of business? If “yes”, please explain.
NO.
(4.) a) D oes the purchase price being paid for this property reasonably reflect the
fair market value of the property?
YES, we believe so.
b) If you answered “no” to the above, do you believe that a lower purchase price is
the result of either a known or suspected contamination at the property. If “yes”,
please explain.
(5.) Are you aware of commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information
about the property that would help the environmental professional to identify
conditions indicative of releases or threatened releases? For example, as user:
Do you know of past uses of the property? If “yes”, please list.
Property has been in farming for at least 150 years. This included an orchard
along the Mill River, some apple trees closer to the road, a farm dump
between two fields close to the river, and a report of an old gasoline tank
abandoned in place at the barn closest to Spring Street.
Do you know of specific chemicals that are or once were present at the
property? If “yes”, what kind of chemicals?
NO, but we know that the orchard was treated with herbicides and
pesticides.
Do you know of spills or other chemical releases that have taken place at the
property? If “yes”, please list.
NO, although the farm dump history is unknown to us.
Do you know of any environmental cleanups that have taken place at the
property? If “yes”, please list.
NO.
(6.) As the user of this E SA, based on your knowledge and experience related to the
property, are there any obvious indicators that point to the presence or likely
presence of contamination at the property? If “yes”, please explain.
Page 3 of 3
The orchard, with whatever herbicides and pesticides that were applied, the historic
farm dump, and the reported abandoned-in-place gasoline tank at the front barn are
all a concern to us, although we don’t know the details and don’t know if there are
any sites or spills.

Notice of Disclaimer
Due to the limitations, constraints, inaccuracies and incompleteness of government information and computer mapping data currently available to FirstSearch
Technology Corp., certain conventions have been utilized in preparing the locations of all federal, state and local agency sites residing in FirstSearch Technology
Corp.'s databases. All EPA NPL and state landfill sites are depicted by a rectangle approximating their location and size. The boundaries of the rectangles represent
the eastern and western most longitudes; the northern and southern most latitudes. As such, the mapped areas may exceed the actual areas and do not represent the
actual boundaries of these properties. All other sites are depicted by a point representing their approximate address location and make no attempt to represent the
actual areas of the associated property. Actual boundaries and locations of individual properties can be found in the files residing at the agency responsible for such
information.
Waiver of Liability
Although FirstSearch Technology Corp. uses its best efforts to research the actual location of each site, FirstSearch Technology Corp. does not and can not warrant
the accuracy of these sites with regard to exact location and size. All authorized users of FirstSearch Technology Corp.'s services proceeding are signifying an
understanding of FirstSearch Technology Corp.'s searching and mapping conventions, and agree to waive any and all liability claims associated with search and
map results showing incomplete and or inaccurate site locations.

Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Benzo(g,h,i)perylene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene
09L0724-01[BF-2], B008989-BLK1, B008989-BS1, B008989-BSD1
MADEP-VPH-04-1.1
No significant modifications were made to the method. All VPH samples were received preserved properly at pH <2 in the proper containers as specified on the chain-of-custody
form unless specified in this narrative.
SW-846 8270C
Laboratory control sample recoveries for required MCP Data Enhancement 8270 compounds were all within control limits specified by the method, 40-140% for base/neutrals
and 30-130% for acids except for “difficult analytes” listed below and/or otherwise listed in this narrative. Difficult analytes for water LCS – limits between 10 and 150%
depending on the compound (see QC summary report for limits): dimethylphthalate, bis(2-chloroisopropyl)ether, 4-nitrophenol, and phenol.
Duplicate laboratory fortified blank RPDs were all less than or equal to 20% for water or 30% for soil except for ”difficult analytes” where RPDs of 50% are used and/or
otherwise listed below or elsewhere in this narrative. Difficult analytes for water RPDs: aniline, benzo(a,h)anthracene, dimethylphthalte, hexachloroethane,
indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, and pentachlorophenol.
The results of analyses reported only relate to samples submitted to the Con-Test Analytical Laboratory for testing.
I certify that the analyses listed above, unless specifically listed as subcontracted, if any, were performed under my direction according to the approved methodologies listed
in this document, and that based upon my inquiry of those individuuals immediately responsible for obtaining the information, the material contained in this report is, to the
best of my knowledge and belief, accurate and complete.

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. H er experience with laboratory and on-
site 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 Q uality Assurance Project Plan (Q APP) for E PA
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.

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 N ew E ngland. H is 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 MassD E P and O TO 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.
