ATTN: Mr. Joseph S. Pio
President
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your correspondence dated December 27, 1993,
regarding extra compensation for soil contaminated with
tetrachloroethylene found on the subject project.
In the Contract General Special Provisions and the Special
Provision for Item 149.41, Health and Safety Plan, the Contractor
is advised of potential soil contamination at two particular sites
within the project limits. While only hydrocarbons were reportedly
found at one location, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are listed
as possible contaminants.
Also, your proposed Health and Safety Plan, submitted September 21,
1993 and approved November 3 , 1993, identifies tetrachloroethylene
as a material of concern.
Therefore, since VOCs in general and tetrachloroethylene in
particular were specified in the Contract Special Provisions and in
your Health and Safety Plan, respectively, the actual presence of
tetrachloroethylene does not constitute a changed condition.
Massachusetts Highway Department •District 2 •North King Street, Northampton, MA 01060• (413) 584-1611
Regarding the disposal of the contaminated soil, you will deliver
the material to the Northampton Sanitary Landfill on Glendale Road
in Northampton where it will be rehandled and spread at no expense
to the Department. Please coordinate material delivery to the
landfill with the Resident Engineer, Judith Hoey, at (413)
582-7030. Materials may be transported in an open vehicle provided
they are covered with a tarp.
Very ptruly yours,

RELEASE NOTIFICATION
NOTICE OF RESPONSIBILITY
MGL Ch. 21E
310 CMR 40.0000
Dear Mr. Corliss:
On November 18, 1993 at 9:30 AM, the Department of Environmental Protection (the
"Department") was notified of a Release/Threat of Release by Mr. Tim Maginnis of
the Massachusetts Highway Department on behalf of yourself as required by the
Massachusetts Contingency Plan. (310 CMR 40.0000) . In addition to oral
notification, 310 CMR 40.0333 further requires that a completed Release
Notification Form be submitted within 60 days of the oral report.
Attached is the Release Notification Form the Department has developed to allow
you to comply with the requirement for written notification. You have 60
calendar days from November 18, 1993 to return the completed form to this office.
The Department has reason to believe that you (as used in this letter "you"
refers to Mr. Leonard M. Corliss, Sr. ) may be a responsible party with liability
under Section SA of MGL Ch. 21E. This liability is "strict" meaning that it is
not based on fault but solely on your status as owner, operator, generator,
transporter, disposer or other person specified in said Section SA. This
liability is also "joint and several" , meaning that you are deemed to be liable
for all response costs incurred at a disposal site even if there are other liable
parties.
On November 18, 1993, the Department determined that a condition existed at that
time that posed an Imminent Hazard in accordance with 310 CMR 40.0321 (1) (d) ,
specifically with regard to the potential exposure of construction workers in the
trench in, which suspect tetrachloroethene vapors were present. Properly trained
and protected workers completed the sewer connection work, and she area of
contamination was partially excavated and backfilled. The utility related
excavation and soil disposal work is being handled by the Mass. Highway
Department as a separate, discrete project.
An Immediate Response Action (IRA) is required to be conducted for this release
in accordance with 310 CMR 40.0411. An IRA consisting of "assessment only"
activities is adequate for this release. Although Departmental approval is not
•
required prior to the performance of an "assessment only" IRA, two specific
issues of concern should be addressed as part of the IRA:
1) Additional work by the Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) is scheduled
to take place over the next year on Locust Street in front of your
facility. The IRA should identify areas to be excavated during the MHD
projects, and an assessment made as to whether these areas have
contamination present as a result of nil or hazardous materials migrating
from your site. The presence of contamination which would effect the
performance of the upcoming MHD, City of Northampton DPW, or other private
utilities' projects shall be made known to the Department and these
effected parties.
21 Information gained during the performance of the IRA should be included in
any consultant's or Licensed Site Professional's opinions regarding the
status of the site as a "Transition Site" . As the leaking sewer
connection joint may potentially have been the source of groundwater
contamination previously documented at the site, it is recommended that
this possibility be assessed further.
Be advised that additional submittals to the Department and the use of a Licensed
Site Professional (LSP) are necessary with regards to the IRA.
The Department encourages Responsible Parties to take response actions at
Disposal Sites. By taking the necessary response actions, you may avoid liability
for costs incurred by the Department in taking such actions. If you do not take
the necessary response actions, or fail to perform them in an appropriate and
timely manner, the Department is authorized by MGL Ch. 21E to perform the
necessary work and recover up to three times the cost.
If you have any questions relative to this matter, you should contact Adam Wright
of the Notification Branch at the letterhead address or can (413) 784-1100 x292.
All future communications regarding this r elease must reference the Release
Tracking Number contained in the subject block of this letter.
