ACTIVITY AND USE LIMITATION NARRATIVE
In accordance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (310 CMR 40.0000), an Activity and
Use Umitation (AUL) has been prepared for the property at 459 Pleasant Street in Northampton,
Massachusetts (the "Property"). The Property is currently occupied by a used car dealership
(Pleasant Journey Used Cars), and owned by Robert P. Kalish.
r
The area to which the AUL applies is the entire 459 Pleasant Street Property. One or more t
petroleum releases have occurred at the Property associated with its use as a gasoline service
station between 1932 and 1984. The petroleum released consists primarily of gasoline. The
release was discovered in 1988 when gasoline was detected at the 492 Pleasant Street property
located across Pleasant Street from the Property. Subsequent investigations indicated the
presence of gasoline constituents on the eastern side of the Property and portions of the 480
and 492 Pleasant Street properties that are located across Pleasant Street Data indicate that
soils above the high water table on the 480 and 492 Pleasant Street properties were not
significantly impacted by the gasoline release. Data also indicated that indoor air impacts
associated with the release were not likely to exist
A
Response actions taken to address the release included but were not limited to excavation of
soil on the 480 and 492 Pleasant Street properties in 1988, manual removal of gasoline from
monitoring wells between 1992 and approximately 2000, and the operation of groundwater and
vapor extraction systems between approximately 2003 and 2010 that reportedly recovered over
700 gallons of gasoline.
The AUL is required due to the presence of residual gasoline components at the Property. As of
2017, soils in the eastern portion of the Property were found to contain up to approximately
4,000 milligrams per kilogram (or 0.4 percent) of gasoline hydrocarbons. Significantly impacted
soils were observed between approximately 5 to 20 feet below ground surface. Groundwater on
the eastern portion of the Property remains impacted by gasoline constituents at total
concentrations up to 66 parts per million (or 0.007 percent).
The AUL contains obligations that must be met if certain future activities are conducted, so that
potential future exposures to contaminants can be identified, avoided, flm'ited and/or controlled.
The AUL prohibits future uses of the Property that have been identified as likely to result in
significant exposure to contaminants by children. The obligations and conditions of the AUL are
described in the AUL form to which this document is attached as Exhibit C. The AUL is an
important component of the Permanent Solution for the identified releases, and conformance
with the AUL is essential to maintaining a Condition of No Significant Risk. Additional details can
be found in the 2019 Permanent Solution with Conditions Report prepared by Engineering &
Consulting Resources, Inc. of Acton, Massachusetts. ,,:
