upon initial groundwater elevation data following DPE start-up), CJW will acquire a sewer
discharge permit from the Town of Northampton. No other federal, state or local permits are
believed to be required to conduct these IRA activities.
Any activities beyond the previously approved IRA activities or the IRA activities proposed
herein will be submitted to the MA DEP as an additional modification to the IRA Plan.
6.4 Environmental Monitoring
Water samples will be collected prior to and following treatment by liquid phase GAC and
analyzed in accordance with the regulations of 310 CMR 40.0045(3)(x)(2).
Screening of the DPE system off-gas with a PID will be conducted approximately every two
weeks. In addition, indoor air will continue to be periodically screened for VOC concentrations
with a PID, the results of which will be provided in a future submittal.
Select site monitoring wells will be gauged and sampled as part of on-going IRA activities on a
quarterly basis and analyzed for EPH and VPH by MA DEP Method 04-1 and 04-1.1,
respectively. During IRA activities, potential CEP will continue to be evaluated and periodically
by monitoring indoor using a PID.
Laboratory data from groundwater samples collected from the site monitoring wells will be
compared to the applicable risk characterization standards of MCP. If conditions warrant, based
upon an evaluation of site data, further remedial strategies will be developed for petroleum-
impacted soil and groundwater located at the site. Remedial strategies will be proposed in an
IRA modification submittal. The next IRA Status Report is due at the MA DEP on or before
October of 2006.
Project#5079;IRA Plan Status Report#1,RTN 1-16019,Release of#2 Fuel Oil,Northampton,MA
April 12 2006 Page10
Treated groundwater will initially be discharged to the subsurface through two infiltration
galleries located immediately south of the DPE system enclosure. The discharge and analytical
monitoring will be conducted pursuant to the requirements of 310 CMR 40.0045(3)(a)(2).
As previously discussed, soil gas will be treated with vapor phase GAC to remove VOC and
discharged to the atmosphere through a discharge stack. Used vapor phase and liquid phase
GAC will be temporarily stored on-site and subsequently returned to the GAC vendor for
regeneration. NAPL collected through periodic skimming of the oil/water separator will be stored
in 55-gallon drums pending off-site transportation and disposal under a Uniform Hazardous
Waste Manifest.
6.0 PROPOSED IMMEDIATE RESPONSE ACTIONS
6.1 Monitoring Well Installation Activities
Additional soil borings/monitoring wells are scheduled for installation in the southeastern portion
of the site basement to better define the vertical and horizontal extent of petroleum-impacted soil
and groundwater. Soil screening data, laboratory analysis and monitoring well construction
details will be provided in a future submittal.
6.2 Groundwater Elevation Survey, Gaumim, Sample Collection and Analysis
CJW will have the existing monitoring wells surveyed using standard stadia and leveling
techniques referred to an assumed datum. Piezometric head elevation data developed using data
collected during the survey event will be used in the determination of groundwater flow in the
vicinity of the disposal site. This information will be provided in a future submittal.
Groundwater samples will be collected from select monitoring wells at selected intervals and
analyzed for EPH and VPH by MA DEP Method 04-1 and 04-1.1, respectively. Based on the
results of groundwater sample analysis, the installation of additional site monitoring wells may
be proposed as part of on-going IRA assessment activities. Groundwater gauging events will be
conducted prior to each sampling event.
6.3 Permits
An electrical permit has been acquired from the Town of Northampton prior to connecting power
to the remedial system. As stated, remedial system discharge will initially be conducted in
accordance with the requirements of 310 CMR 40.0045(3)(a)(2); however, if warranted (based
Project#5079; IRA Plan Status Report#1,RTN 1-16019,Release of#2 Fuel Oil,Northampton,MA
April 12,2006 Page9
screening of the off-gas with a PID for VOC such that the air emission requirements of 310 CMR
40.0079 are met.
Treated groundwater will initially be discharged to two infiltration galleries located immediately
south of the DPE enclosure, which in turn will discharge to the subsurface soils of the site. In
accordance with 310 CMR 40.0045(3)(a)(2), groundwater downgradient of the treated water
discharge location will be sampled and analyzed for EPH and VPH by MA DEP Methodology
04-1 and 04-1.1, respectively. During the initial DPE start-up, CJW personnel will monitor local
groundwater elevation through monitoring well gauging activities with an EIP to determine
whether DPE system discharge to subsurface soils could potentially exacerbate existing
conditions, or prevent or impair the performance of the DPE system [as listed in 310 CMR
40.0045(3)(b)]. If such conditions are found to exist, CJW will discontinue subsurface discharge
and begin discharge of treated groundwater to the Town of Northampton sewer system under
permit. Groundwater gauging data, following system start-up, will be provided in a future
submittal.
If discharge to the Town of Northampton sewer system is warranted (based upon groundwater
elevation monitoring as described above), system wastewater samples will be collected and
analyzed in accordance with 310 CMR 40.0043(2)(a)(b) and conditions of any sewer discharge
permit from the Town of Northampton.
5.4 Off-Gas Air Sampling
Off-gas from the DPE system will be screened with a PID on a periodic basis to ensure that the
system is removing VOC from the air stream with a minimum 95% efficiency. The PID will be
calibrated to read VOC concentrations on a ppmv basis, benzene referred.
5.5 Wastewater Sampling
Wastewater samples will initially be collected and analyzed in accordance with 310 CMR
40.0045(3)(a)(2). The DPE system wastewater sampling requirements and laboratory analytical
reports will be provided in a future submittal.
5.6 DPE System Remediation Waste Management
Waste generated as a result of the proposed remedial activities at the site is anticipated to consist
primarily of treated soil gas, treated groundwater,NAPL and used liquid and vapor phase GAC.
Project#5079;IRA Plan Status Report#1,RTN 1-16019,Release of#2 Fuel Oil,Northampton,MA
April 12 2006 Page8
The remedial system is protected by a series of alarms that monitor liquid levels and pressures
within primary and secondary stage components. Sample collection ports for vapor and liquid
phase monitoring are located prior to discharge of treated waste streams.
5.2 DPE System Start-Up Schedule
On March 29, 2006, the DPE system enclosure was delivered to the site and installed in the
northwestern portion of the site. The system trenching and piping activities are expected to be
completed during the period from March 16, 2005 through April 30, 2006. Specifically, Govoni,
under the supervision of CJW, connected three interior two-inch diameter PVC extraction lines
from recovery wells RW-6 through RW-8, through excavated trenches, to a common manifold
point within the northwestern corner of the basement, and subsequently through an exterior
excavated trench to the approximate system intake location. In addition, Govoni, under the
supervision of CJW, connected five exterior two-inch diameter PVC extraction lines from
monitoring wells RW-1 through RW-5, through excavated trenches, to a common manifold point
immediately south of the approximate system intake location. At the completion of extending all
PVC lines to the manifold locations, the recovery lines will be pressure tested. Upon satisfactory
completion of the pressure testing activities, the trenches will be backfilled and compacted with
fill materials. Following final system testing, the DPE system will be put into service. Refer to
Figure 3 for the approximate locations of the DPE system and recovery wells.
5.3 DPE System Operation and Maintenance
The primary constituents of concern that may be encountered during the operation of the
remedial system are volatized petroleum constituents. Petroleum vapors are collected and treated
via the vapor phase GAC system described above. Based on the system design, the remedial
measures are not expected to pose a potential inhalation risk for VOC beyond the immediate area
of the treatment equipment. Consequently, no ambient monitoring outside of the treatment
equipment area is planned as part of the execution of the remedial measures.
The remedial system is designed to operate on a full-time, unattended basis. Soil gas and
groundwater will be extracted from the recovery wells (designated RW-1 through RW-8).
Operation of the system will continue until sample collection and analysis from groundwater
samples collected at the site indicate residual petroleum concentrations are at or below the
applicable Method 1 risk characterization standards. It is anticipated that the remedial system
will be serviced approximately twice per month. Liquid phase GAC will be changed based on
effluent analytical data. Vapor phase GAC within the remedial system will be replaced based on
Project#5079; IRA Plan Status Report#1,RTN 1-16019,Release of#2 Fuel Oil,Northampton,MA
April 12,2006 Page7
4.6 Indoor Air
On March 24, 2006, personnel from CJW and Govoni installed a poly barrier and exhaust blower
within the confines of the northeastern portion of the basement (in the vicinity of the interior
monitoring wells) to minimize potential petroleum-impact to indoor air during sub-slab recovery
well-head assembly activities. Throughout the course of IRA activities, CJW personnel have
periodically screened indoor air within the basement for VOC with a PID on a ppmv basis
benzene referred. PID readings within the northeastern portion of the basement (i.e. the area of
the AST, interior wells and poly barrier) ranged from 0.0 to 0.6 ppmv and ranged from 0.0 to 0.1
ppmv within the remaining portions of the basement.
5.0 REMEDIAL SYSTEM DESIGN
5.1 DPE System
The on-site DPE system is contained within an 8-foot by 20-foot enclosure that is situated in the
northwestern portion of the site property, parallel to the on-site garage (refer to Figure 3). The
remedial system consists of a primary and secondary stage. The primary stage components are a
10-horsepower positive displacement blower and moisture separator. The positive displacement
blower draws the liquid and vapor waste stream from the recovery wells into the moisture
separator which separates the liquid and vapor waste streams. The secondary stage is made up of
liquid and vapor phase components. From the moisture separator, the vapor phase waste stream
passes through an in-line filter, two vapor phase granular activated carbon (GAC) canisters, and
then the off-gas is discharged to the atmosphere through a discharge stack located on the side of
the enclosure. Refer to Figure 3 for the remedial system piping diagram.
The liquid phase is pumped from the moisture separator to an oil/water separator, where the
NAPL is collected and transferred to a 55-gallon drum via two-inch PVC pipe. Once the NAPL
has been removed, the remaining liquid is pumped through in-line filters, liquid phase GAC
canisters, and then discharged via two-inch diameter piping to an infiltration system located
immediately south of the DPE system enclosure. In addition, the DPE system discharge piping
was also extended into the basement of the residence (for possible connection to the
Northampton sewer system), under conservative measures, to serve as an additional discharge
option if groundwater elevations are adversely affected through discharging to the infiltration
trench.

and VPH constituents indicative of#2 fuel oil) in excess of GW-2 and GW-3 standards applicable
to groundwater at this site. A complete copy of the laboratory analytical report is included in
Appendix B.
In addition, CJW personnel have gauged site monitoring wells with an electronic interface probe
capable of measuring depth to NAPL and water to the nearest one hundredth of a foot. NAPL
has been detected in each of the interior site monitoring wells, excluding MW-2. Groundwater
has been measured at a depth that ranged from 6.45 feet to 10.00 feet below grade. With the
exception of MW-3, NAPL has not been detected in any of the exterior site monitoring wells.
The groundwater flow direction is presumed to be in a northeasterly direction based upon
topographic features and will be confirmed once additional groundwater gauging points have
been installed. A summary of the groundwater gauging and NAPL thickness data is presented in
Table 1.
Additional groundwater samples are scheduled for collection from select exterior monitoring
wells in April of 2006. The collected groundwater samples will be analyzed for EPH and VPH
by MA DEP Method 04-1 and 04-1.1, respectively. The analytical results will be provided in a
future submittal.
4.4 Groundwater and NAPL Extraction Activities
On January 17 and January 31, 2006, 925 and 625 gallons of groundwater and NAPL were
extracted from the site monitoring well network. On February 8, 2006, 800 gallons of groundwater
and NAPL were extracted from the site monitoring well network. On April 4, 2006, 550 gallons of
groundwater and NAPL were extracted from the site monitoring well network. By gauging the
vacuum truck at the completion of extraction activities, it was determined that a total of
approximately 125 gallons of#2 fuel oil have been recovered to date. Disposal documentation
is provided in Appendix C.
4.5 Remediation Waste Management
To date 2,350 gallons of groundwater and NAPL, generated through vacuum extraction
activities, were transported under a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (#MAU161575,
#MAU168108, #MAU168118 & #MAU162769) to the Murphy's Waste Oil Services facility in
Woburn, Massachusetts for disposal. A copy of each Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest used
to transport the above waste is provided in Appendix C.

(HSA) drilling methodologies to a depth of approximately 20 feet below exterior grade. Refusal
was not encountered during monitoring well installation activities and site soils generally
consisted of fine brown sand. Soil samples were periodically collected from the auger flights and
field screened using headspace screening methodologies with a photoionization detector (PID),
on a parts per million by volume (ppmv) basis, benzene referred. Observed PID readings ranged
from 0.0 to 0.9 ppmv. Soil samples were not collected for laboratory analysis.
The recovery wells were constructed of a 15-foot section of 2-inch diameter, 0.010-inch slotted
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) well screen connected to a 5-foot section of 2-inch diameter solid PVC
riser extending to grade. The annulus around each well screen was backfilled with filter sand and
included a bentonite seal approximately one foot above the well screen. Each recovery well was
completed with a flush mounted road box and an expansion plug.
These wells were installed to serve as future exterior groundwater/soil vapor extraction points
(recovery wells) for the operation of an on-site DPE system, as described in Section 7.0.
During the period from March 23 through March 31, 2006, personnel from R.J. Govoni
Construction (Govoni) of Worcester, Massachusetts, under the supervision of CJW, converted
monitoring wells MW-5 through MW-7 into recovery wells for use with the DPE system. For
future reference, MW-5 will be referred to as RW-6, MW-6 will be referred to as RW-7 and
MW-7 will be referred to as RW-8.
The locations of the borings completed as monitoring wells and/or recovery wells are depicted on
Figure 3. The monitoring well logs for RW-1 through RW-8 will be provided in a future
submittal.
4.3 Groundwater Gauging and Sampling Activities
On December 19, 2005, CJW collected a groundwater sample from monitoring wells MW-2 and
MW-3 and submitted them to Con-Test Analytical Laboratories (Con-Test) in East
Longmeadow, Massachusetts for analysis of extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH) and
volatile organic compounds (VPH)by MA DEP Method 04-1 and 04-1.1, respectively.
Tables 2 and 3 summarize the results of the groundwater samples collected to date and compare
them to the applicable MCP risk-based Method 1 standards for the applicable groundwater
categories (GW-2 and GW-3). The groundwater analytical data indicates that groundwater
surrounding MW-2 and MW-3 has been impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons (specifically EPH

♦ stabilize site conditions as necessary; and
♦ assess site conditions during and at the completion of response activities to determine
the need to conduct further response actions.
An IRA Plan Modification #1 was submitted to the MA DEP on February 27, 2006. The
objectives of IRA Plan Modification#1 are to:
♦ propose the pilot testing and subsequent installation of a DPE remedial system at the site
to provide a level of hydraulic control across the site;
♦ remove NAPL and petroleum-impacted groundwater from the site;
♦ remove volatile petroleum constituents from the vadose zone across the release area; and
♦ remove residual volatile petroleum constituents from soils located beneath the concrete
basement floor and brick foundation walls of the residence such that residual petroleum
concentrations in site soil and groundwater are reduced to or below the applicable Method
1 risk characterization standards of the MCP.
The expected outcome following the implementation of IRA activities would be the
demonstrated reduction of petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in site soil and groundwater to
levels below the applicable risk characterization standards. In addition, the need to perform an
Imminent Hazard Evaluation will continue to be assessed as part of the IRA and potential Critical
Exposure Pathways (CEP) at the site will be addressed as part of the IRA.
4.2 Monitoring Well Installation Activities
On December 19, 2005, Bronson Drilling, under the supervision of CJW personnel, installed
three monitoring wells at the site, designated as MW-1 through MW-3. On January 11, 2006,
Bronson Drilling, under the supervision of CJW personnel, installed four monitoring wells at the
site, designated as MW-4 through MW-7 (Refer to Figure 3).
The details on monitoring well installation activities, including soil screening data and well
construction details were provided in the IRA Plan dated February 6, 2006.
On March 2, 2005, Martin Geo-Environmental, LLC (Martin), under the supervision of CJW
personnel, installed five recovery wells at the site, designated as RW-1 through RW-5 (Refer to
Figure 3). The borings were advanced using a truck-mounted drill rig and hollow stem auger

The property at 16-18 Elizabeth Street is residential and improved with a two story three-family
dwelling on the western side of Elizabeth Street. The second floor of the residence is occupied
by Mr. Paul Struthers and the first floor is occupied by two tenants. The second floor is currently
vacant as Mr. Struthers resides in Florida during the winter months. A single car garage is
located to the northwest of the residence. Utilities serving the site include public water and
sewer, overhead electrical, and telephone services.
The referenced AST system is located in the northeast corner (front right) of the residence. The
fuel oil AST system provides fuel for the furnace serving the occupied tenant space at the front of
the first floor. A second AST is located in the southeast corner (front left) of the residence and
provides fuel for the furnace which heats the second floor. The tenant space occupying the rear
of the first floor has electric heat.
According to the Mass GIS Map, provided in Figure 2, the site is not located within a Current or
Potential Drinking Water Source Area (PDWSA), Interim Wellhead Protection Area (IWPA) or
Potentially Productive Aquifer (PPA). Two areas designated as protected open space are located
within '/z-mile north and south of the site. 100-year floodplain is located approximately 400 feet
east of the site
2.2 Surrounding Area
The Site is located on Elizabeth Street, Northampton, Massachusetts, which is predominantly a
residential area. The immediately surrounding area is also residential.
2.3 Description of Release
RTN 1-16019 is related to a release of#2 fuel oil resulting from a leak from the on-site AST oil
supply line from the AST system to an oil-fired furnace. Specifically, at approximately 4:40
P.M. on December 7, 2005, the MA DEP was notified of a release of an unknown quantity of#2
fuel oil from an underground fuel oil supply line at the site. The underground line is located
beneath the concrete basement floor and connects the 275-gallon AST to the fuel oil fired
furnace. This 2-hour release condition was identified by Cemak Oil as the result of an
unexplained loss of #2 fuel oil at the site, at which point the MA DEP was notified. As
previously stated, the MA DEP assigned RTN 1-16019 to this release. The release will be
initially managed as an IRA under the MCP.
