Site History The Property was initially developed around 1855,with the construction of the Northampton Gas Light Company manufactured gas plant (MGP). Much of the Property was used for the manufacturing, storage,and distribution of coal gas.The northeast corner of the Property was occupied by the gas company’s office building.Gas production was discontinued in 1951.Most of the gas manufacturing stru ctures formerly present on the property were demolished in 1962. The property and remaining structures were donated to the City in 1973 . Environmental assessments have been conducted at the site since 2001 in accordance with the requirements of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP).Bay State Gas Company conducted all the MCP required assessment and remediation conducted at the Site.The Phase II Comprehensive Site Assessment resulted in a detailed conceptual site model for the Disposal Site. Some MGP impacted material, including ash, coal, and clinkers, was likely used as fill material within the footprint of the former facility or was graded and re-worked around the facility.Tar and oily MGP residuals also were likely released from containers or through foundations into the subsurface.The oily MGP residuals, being denser than water,migrated downward through the heterogeneous subsurface fill and glacio-fluvial sand and gravel underlying the facility.Clay and other fine-grained, impermeable soi l are present below the sand and gravel at depths ranging from 10 to 35 feet below ground surface. Where the dense oil encountered these fine grained clay or fine-grained soils ,it either accumulated at that location or migrated laterally along the upper surface of the clay/soils, impacting the subsurface beneath other properties south and east of the MGP. Some MGP constituents have dissolved in groundwater and have migrated advectively with the natural groundwater flow.[Note: The “MCP” is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ code of regulations (310 CMR 40.0000) for the notification, assessment and cleanup of disposal sites where a release of Oil or Hazardous Materials has been detected.] Reason for Activity and Use Limitation To limit future potential exposures on the Portion of the Property subject to the AUL (see Exhibit A-1)certain activity and use restrictions will be placed on the Portion of the Property. Specifically, this AUL will prevent exposures of certain receptors (i.e. children, trespassers,site workers and residents) to MGP residuals in the subsurface.A Method 3 risk characterization was completed to evaluate potential risks associated with the MGP-related compounds in the subsurface fill, soil, and groundwater. There are no risks of harm to human health posed by the MGP residuals that are present at the disposal site under current activities and uses because humans are not able to contact the MGP residuals in their present location. However, results of the risk characterization indicate a condition of No Significant Risk of harm to human health, public welfare and the environment does not exist at the Site under reasonably foreseeable future conditions in the absence of an AUL.Implementation of this AUL will limit future potential exposures to MGP residuals that are present at the Portion of the Property near the ground surface (i.e., within 15 feet of the ground surface).In addition to those residuals, there are similar MGP residuals at depths greater than 15 ft bgs on the Portion of the Property.[Note: The MCP allows a risk characterization for a disposal site to be performed by one of three methods: Method 1, which involves a comparison of soil and groundwater contaminant concentration measured at a site to existing numerical standards; Method 2, which involves comparison of soil and groundwater contaminant levels measured at a site to more site-specific numerical standards derived for a particular site; and Method 3, which involves a quantification of total site risk considering on-site receptors, assumed exposure scenarios, and contaminant levels measured at the site.] 1.Permitted Activities and Uses The following activities and uses are permitted at the Portion of the Property: (i) Use or development of the Portion of the Property as an industrial, commercial, or retail property, or use or development of the Portion of the Property for vehicular parking, vehicular traffic, bicycle path, pedestrian, or other activities and uses which would not compromise the structural integrity of any existing or any replacement surface barrier (as defined in Paragraph 1 (ii) below) and/or allow direct contact with soil beneath that barrier; (ii) Use of the Portion of the Property as a residence, school, daycare, nursery, playground, recreational area, etc. where a child is likely to be present, provided that access to subsurface soils is prevented through the use of a barrier to direct contact on the proposed area. This barrier would consist of a minimum of three (3) feet of unimpacted soils (which may have but does not rely on,other surface materials such as landscaping, concrete or brickwork sidewalk,bituminous pavement, etc.) (iii) Excavation and/or removal of soils within three feet of ground surface or within one foot of the bottom and two feet of each side of subsurface utilities associated with maintenance or repair of these subsurface utilities, provided that the excavation is backfilled with an equal thickness of unimpacted soils. (iv) Excavation and/or removal of potentially contaminated subsurface soils (greater than three (3 )feet below ground surface and where present,below geotextile marker layer and associated handling and processing (e.g. size reduction, etc.) associated with limited short-term (three months or less)construction work, provided that it is conducted in accordance with the performance standards of the MCP. Potentially contaminated soils are located directly beneath an at least three (3) foot thick layer of unimpacted soil .Such activities must be conducted in accordance with the performance standards set forth by the MCP and conducted under the direction of a Licensed Site Professional (LSP). [Note: An LSP is a person that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has determined has the appropriate education and experience to manage the assessment and remediation of sites pursuant to the MCP without the direct oversight of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (Mass DEP)].Excavation activities must be conducted in accordance with the Soil Management Procedures pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0030, and/or all applicable worker health and safety practices pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0018, and must ensure prompt repair/replacement of a comparable barrier immediately following the completion of the project; (v) Maintenance activities related to the repair, resurfacing and/or replacement of pavement, parking lots, sidewalks, bicycle paths, and driveways, provided that such activities do not result in contact with potentially contaminated soils. Potentially contaminated soils are located immediately beneath an at least three (3) foot thick layer of unimpacted soil. Maintenance activities are allowed provided they do not extend below these depths or compromise contaminated soil located beneath these depths and provided that the barrier is replaced; (vi) Landscape activities, including lawn mowing, mulching, and/or planting of flowers and shrubs that do not result in disturbance or direct contact with existing potentially contaminated soil that is located at a depth of over three (3) feet below the ground surface and provided that the barrier is replaced; (vii) Activities and uses which are not identified by this Notice as being inconsistent with maintaining a condition of No Significant Risk; and (viii) Such other activities and uses which, in the Opinion of an LSP, shall present no greater risk of harm to health, safety, public welfare, or the environment than the activities and uses set forth in this paragraph. 2.Activities and Uses Inconsistent with the AUL Opinion. Activities and uses which are inconsistent with the assumptions of the Risk Characterization, and which, if implemented at the Portion of the Property, may result in a significant risk of harm to human health, safety, public welfare, or the environment are as follows: (i) Except as provided in Paragraphs 1(v) or 1(vi) above, activities and/or uses which involve the removal and/or disturbance of the barrier o n the Portion of the Property and/or the disturbance of the contaminated soil located immediately beneath the surface barrier without prior development of a Soil Management Plan and a Health and Safety Plan in accordance with Obligations (i) and (ii) of Paragraph 3 below; (ii) Relocation of the contaminated soil from beneath the barrier o n the Portion of the Property, unless an LSP renders an Opinion which states that such relocation is consistent with maintaining a condition of No Significant Risk; (iii) Construction of a building on the Portion of the Property which does not meet the residential building assumptions of the vapor intrusion model and risk characterization used to support the Response Action Outcome for the portion of the Disposal Site subject to this AUL without prior evaluation by a LSP who renders an Opinion which states that the use of such building is consistent with maintaining a condition of No Significant Risk; (iv) Activities and/or uses which cause physical or chemical deterioration, breakage, or structural damage to the barrier, unless the barrier is replaced immediately following such activities as allowed under Paragraphs 1 (iv), 1 (v), and 1 (vi) above; (v) Use of soils at the Portion of the Property for the cultivation of fruits and vegetables intended for human consumption; (vi) Any activity, including, but not limited to, grading or excavation, which involves disturbance, relocation and/or removal of soil from the Portion of the Property, without the prior development and implementation of a Soil Management Plan and Health and Safety Plan in accordance with Obligations (i) and (ii) of Paragraph 3 below, and restoration of the barrier as described in Obligation (iii) of Paragraph 3 below;and (vii) Activities and/or uses that may decrease the thickness of the barrier in areas of the Portion of the Property except as allowed in sections 1(v) and 1 (vi) above. 3.Obligations and Conditions Set Forth in the AUL Opinion. If applicable, obligations and/or conditions to be undertaken and/or maintained at the Portion of the Property to maintain a condition of No Significant Risk as set forth in this AUL Opinion shall include the following: (i) A Soil Management Plan must be prepared by an LSP and implemented prior to the commencement of any activity that will disturb the contaminated soil located immediately beneath the barrier.The Soil Management Plan must be prepared by an LSP and implemented prior to the commencement of any activity at the Portion of the Property that involves the disturbance, excavation and/or removal of OHM-impacted soil, with the exceptions described in Paragraph 1 above.The Soil Management Plan should describe appropriate soil excavation, handling, storage, transport, and disposal procedures in accordance with the provisions of the MCP cited at 310 CMR 40.0030 et seq. and appropriate groundwater handling, storage, and disposal procedures in accordance with the provision of the MCP cited at 310 CMR 40.0040 et seq.The Soil Management Plan should include a description of the engineering controls and environmental monitoring procedures, if any, necessary to ensure that workers and receptors in the vicinity are not affected by fugitive dust or particulates from the Portion of the Property.
