The remedial action currently consists of enhanced fluid recovery,in-site chemical oxidation,and monitored natural attenuation. The audit also included a review of the inspection and monitoring (I&M)reports on file at the Department,the most recent of which was received on May 12,2012. This Notice informs you of the results of the Departments audit inspection. DETERMINATION The Department did not identify any violations of the requirements applicable to the remedial action at the site.

The remedial program consists (as necessary), periodic ISCO injection events,and on-going MNA. VPH and natural attenuation indicators(pH, DO, ORP, nitrate, and quarterly monitoring of surface water for VPH. chemical oxidation(ISCO)and monitored Action to address a release of gasoline to of EFR events to address LNAPL on groundwater I &M activities include quarterly monitoring of sulfate)in groundwater at select well Iocations, and 11. MNA monitoring points and monitoring frequency identified in OMM Plan: Quarterly sampling of groundwater al select monitoring well locations for laboratory analysis of VPII,nitrate,sulfate,and dissolved iron,and for field screening of DO,redox,specific conductivity, pH,and temperature. 12.

Monitoring data shows that the plume is ❑expanding ® shrinking ❑static ❑unclear Primary contaminant concentrations are: ❑ increasing ®decreasing ®static ❑unclear Secondary contaminant concentrations are: ❑ increasing ❑decreasing ❑static ❑ unclear ® N/A Comments: VPH concentrations are decreasing at the fringes of the plume, including in surface water adjacent and immediately downstream from the site,where all analytes are now non-detect. However,VPH concentration trends in groundwater are still static/variable at the source area,where they currently remain above OW-3 standards at five well locations(MW-3, MW-9d,MW-13s,MW-12,and MW-14s). Sheens still occur intermittently at monitoring wells MW-3,MW-14s,and MW-19. Field Inspection(indicate all that apply) 1. Are the MNA monitoring points present and in useable condition? ®Yes ❑No Comments: All monitoring points located in the paved and grassy areas were located during my inspection 2. Were the receptors observed at and in the vicinity of the site during the inspection consistent with those identified during the file review? ® Yes ❑No Comment: 3. Have impermeable surfaces been added over or moved from over the plume area? ❑ Yes ®No Comments: 4. Other Comments: On October 26,2012,1 conducted an unaccompanied site inspection with the permission of Gerald Densmore of the Massachusetts State Police(MSP)and Lt.Andrew Bzdel(MSP Station Commander). Site conditions were consistent with those described in the site file. I observed that the concrete surrounds of the roadboxes for monitoring wells MW-9s, MW-9i,and MW-9d were cracked and may require future maintenance to maintain monitoring well integrity and security. On October 31, 2012, 1 conducted a follow-up telephone conversation with the Matt Lyne(Sr.Project Manager)of ECS and explained that MNA effectiveness must be demonstrated to support ROS,if MNA is to he solely relied upon to achieve a Permanent Solution. While MNA data are being collected,the current level of MNA data evaluation is not enough to support ROS,if additional active remcdiation is not conducted. 1 also recommended to Mr. Lyne that the OMM Plan be updated to reflect current conditions and monitoring. Mr. Lyne indicated that the forecasted path to site closure will include a Method 3 Risk Characterization to support a Response Action Outcome.
