M.G.L. ch. 21E
NOTICE OF RESPONSIBILITY
Dear Mr. Callender:
This letter concerns the release of gasoline from a leaking underground
storage system located at 110 Pleasant Street, Northampton, MA.
This condition constitutes a release and/or threat of release of oil or
hazardous materials from the site. The prevention and/or mitigation of such
a release or threat of release is governed by M.G.L. ch. 21E, the

This letter is to inform you in writing that:
(1 ) Information available to the Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering indicates that you may be a liable party pursuant to
section 5(a) as described above;
(2) The Department is authorized pursuant to M.G.L. ch . 21E
sections 3A( j ) and 4 to take such response actions at the site
as it deems necessary should you fail to respond to the release
or threat of release in an appropriate and timely manner; and
(3) You may take the prescribed response actions in lieu of the
Department.
Original Printed on 100% Recycled Paper
Your liability noted in ( 1 ) above may include up to three (3) times the cost
of any and all response actions conducted by the Department due to the
release/threat of release, including all contract, administrative, and
personnel casts. In addition, you may be liable for all damages for any
injury to, destruction, or lass of natural resources due to the
release/threat of release. Additional liability may be imposed under M.G.L.
ch. 21E section 11 in the form of fines or penalties for each violation of
chapter 21E.
Your liability constitutes a debt to the Commonwealth. The debt,
together with interest, constitutes a lien on all of your property in the
Commonwealth. In addition to the foreclosure remedy provided by the lien,
the Attorney General of the Commonwealth may recover that debt or any part of
it in an action against you. You may be liable for additional penalties or
damages pursuant to other statutes or common law.
The Department has determined that a Preliminary Assessment and Phase I -
Limited Site Investigation must be completed at this site in accordance with
310 CMR 40.541 and 310 CMR 40.543, respectively. The need for Short Term
Measures (310 CMR 40.542) should be evaluated throughout this process and the
final report should include a completed Interim Disposal Site Classification
System form (310 CMR 40.544) and a scope of work for a Phase II -
Comprehensive Site Assessment (310 CMR 40.545) , if needed.
If you intend to undertake the required actions, you must notify the
Department in writing of your intent no later than seven (7) days from the
date you receive this letter and contract with an environmental consultant
capable of performing this work and acceptable to the Department. Your
consultant must be able to submit to the Department a Preliminary Assessment,
a Phase I - Limited Site Investigation report, the completed Interim Disposal
Site Classification System form, and a scope of work for Phase II, if needed,
by no later than ninety (90) days from the date of this letter.
Depending on the information generated by the above work, the Department may
require additional investigations, studies, and actions. If you fail to take
these actions or if you fail to perform these tasks in accordance with the
Department's requirements, the Department may perform response actions in
your stead and recover up to three (3) times its costs from you in accordance
with the provisions described above.
If the Department does not hear from you within the time specified above, the
Department will assume that you have refused to accept responsibility for the
site. The Department will soon thereafter commence response actions, and
will expect to recover to the full extent of the liability set forth above.
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact Robert Terenzi
or Alan Weinberg of Emergency Response. Future correspondence and/or reports
should be submitted to Alan Weinberg of Waste Site Clean-up.

Review of Report
near mt. Callander:
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has reviewed a report
regarding the field investigation conducts] on and off-site at City
Auto Repair in Northampton. This report, which was received on
September 1, 1989 was submitted in your behalf by Environmental
Compliance SArvices, Inc and contains the results and recommendations
from the field work performed during the week of August 21, 1989.
Environmental Compliance Services, Inc. (ItS) has concluded that no
imminent hazards exist at this time and no further ER actions are
necessary. These conclusions are based on their field investigations
which indicate: (1) Migration in the gravel pack of the storm drain
does not extend south on Pleasant Street beyond the intersection with
Pearl St. (2) Vapor is minimal at the storm pipe discharge and no
separate phase product is visible in the discharge.
The DEP approves ECS's recommendation to complete the Phase I - Limited
Site Investigation as required by the Notice of Responsibility issued
on June 19, 1989. The need for Short Term Measures should be evaluated
throughout the study. Seca Ice there is separate phase product in
monitoring wells D25-2 and ECS-3 and there is dissolved petroleum
product entering the storm pipe in two locations, the potential for an
imminent hazard still exists. Therefore, the DEP requires that you
continue monitoring the storm drain with an explosive meter and inspect
the storm pipe discharge for vapors and visible petroleum contaminants
on a monthly basis. In the event of a noticeable change in effluent or
a reading above 5% of the lower explosive limit, immediately notify the
DEP and the local fire department.
If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Jones of this office.

Re:

Northampton 1-0256
Former Whiting Oil
Hampton Avenue
310 CMR 40.000
MGL ch. 21E
Dear Mr. Whiting:
The Department of Environmental Protection (the "Department") has
received additional information regarding the release and migration
of #2 fuel oil from the former Whiting Oil property (the "site")
and has determined that further action is necessary pursuant to
the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention and
Response Act (MGL ch. 21E) and the Massachusetts Contingency Plan
(310 CMR 40.000;. the "MCP") .
Background
The Department was initially notified of a release of #2 oil at the
site following your submittal of a site investigation report
prepared by TRC Environmental Consultants dated March 16, 1987 .
The Department reviewed this report and issued Whiting Oil
Corporation a Notice of Responsibility dated April 29, 1987 . This
notice identified Whiting Oil as a "responsible party" and required
Whiting Oil to perform additional investigative work.
The Department received a followup site investigation report dated
August 26, 1987 and several letters containing additional data from
TRC Environmental Consultants. Following a review of the submitted
reports and additional data, the Department sent you a letter which
concluded:
"Based on the data submitted in this report and addendums, the
Department has determined that the site conditions do not
warrant further actions at this time pursuant to the
Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Materials Release Prevention
and Response Act (MGL ch. 21E) .
C.!Pnnred on Recycled Paper
The Department's determination in this matter is based on
facts and information presented to the Department at this
time, and shall not limit the response or action it might take
regarding this property in the event that further information
comes to the attention of the Department. Should, at any time
in the future, the conditions at the property pose a release
or threat of release of oil and/or hazardous materials, the
Department will exercise its response and enforcement
authority accordingly. "
The Department obtained further information regarding this site in
reports entitled "Phase I Limited Site Investigation Addendum
Number 1 - City Auto Repair" and "Addendum II. .. .City Auto Repair"
both prepared by Environmental Compliance Services and dated
September 1990 and December 19, 1990, respectively. Information
presented in these reports indicates the presence of petroleum
hydrocarbons resembling diesel (#2) oil at locations SSP-4, ECS-9,
and STM-4 as shown on the attached map.
At location SSP-4, a sample of soil and liquid was obtained from
a sampling port which was installed by drilling outward from the
storm drain pipe into subsurface soil. Lab analysis of the soil
sample revealed 81,000 mg/kg of unidentified petroleum hydrocarbons
most closely resembling heavily weathered diesel (#2) oil.
Analysis of the liquid sample indicates > 95% diesel fuel found by
petroleum scan.
At location ECS-9, a monitoring well was installed and the soil
cuttings and groundwater were sampled. Analyses of these samples
revealed 17,000 mg/kg of fuel oil #2 detected in soil and 260 mg/kg
diesel fuel detected in the groundwater.
At location STM-4 (ten feet upstream of the storm water outfall) ,
a sample of surface soil/riverbank sediment was taken and analyzed.
The results showed 1500 mg/kg of unidentified petroleum material
closely resembling a mineral/lubricating oil. Although a match
with #2 oil was not made at this location, the Department cannot
rule out a contribution from the #2 oil observed in the upgradient
locations.
OPrinted on ReMled Pape..
Based on the data presented above, the Department concludes that
the release of #2 oil from the former Whiting Oil property (now
Hampton Housing Associates property) has migrated in a southerly
direction to abutting properties: Lot 333 (City of Northampton Bike
Path) , Lot 164 (Richard Boyle) , and Lot 163 (Randolph Place Condo
Trust) . The movement of this oil has the potential or may already
be impacting the surface of the former Mill River bed and may be
contributing to the nuisance odors reported by the residents at
Randolph Place Condominiums.
Department Determinations
The Department has determined that additional environmental
investigation activities are necessary to determine the extent and
impact of the #2 oil release and to evaluate the risk of this
release to public health and the environment.
Pursuant to the MCP, the Department requires you to submit
supplemental information to update the previous reports to meet the
requirements of a Phase I - Limited Site Investigation Report as
outlined in 310 CMR 40.543. You must also submit a completed
Preliminary Assessment (PA) Form (310 CMR 40 541) , an Interim Site
Classification Form (ISCF) (310 CMR 40.544) , and a Scope of Work
for a Phase II - Comprehensive Site Assessment (310 CMR 40.545) ,
if needed.
If the additional site investigation activities and the completed
ISCF indicate that the site is a non-priority site, you may apply
for a waiver of Department approvals. If a waiver application is
approved by the Department, most response actions may be completed
without further Department approvals. Waiver Applications can be
obtained by writing to the Waiver Unit, Department of Environmental
Protection, Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup, One Winter Street,
Boston, MA 02108.
If at any time an imminent hazard, as defined in 310 CMR 40.542 is
identified at the location, you must notify the Department
immediately, and submit a proposal for a short term measure. No
short term measures may be commenced without prior Department
approval.
If you intend to accept responsibility for the continued assessment
and remediation for the site, you must notify the Department in
writing of your intent no later than fourteen (14) business days
from the date you receive this letter.

To Mayor David B. Musante, The City Council, The Board of Public

Protection:
As residents of the Pleasant Street area, including properties
adjacent to the Mill River between Conz and Pleasant streets, we have
had to contend for more than a year now with the noxious fumes that
have resulted from the gasoline leakage at City Auto Repair . We have
repeatedly called the board of health, and have been told that we are
not being exposed to any health hazard. Many of us have suffered
headaches and nausea that indicate otherwise . It has even been
suggested to us that the odors are those of skunks, and not of
gasoline fumes. We may indeed have a family of skunks among us, but
we also have continuing GASOLINE FUMES . The filtering apparatus that
is in place is an eyesore and a constant source of noise, but it is
not eliminating the problem. We are frustrated and angry, and demand
that action be initiated immediately to remedy this situation .

Re: City Auto Repair
SA # 1-0647
Review of Phase I Reoort and Request for Additional Information
Dear Mr. Callandar:
The Department of Environmental Protection is in the process of reviewing the
Phase I - I imited Site Investigation for the City Auto Repair property that is located
at 110 Pleasant Street in Northampton. The report was submitted on your behalf by
Environmental Compliance Services (ECS) of Springfield, Massachusetts.
According to the Phase I report, a release of oil and/or hazardous materials
occurred at the City Auto property as a result of a leaking underground storage tank
system. Evidence of gasoline contamination in the form of a sheen on the water and
vapors in the storm drain were observed in the adjacent storm drain discharge system.
(This system runs along Pearl Street to Pleasant Street and then runs in an
approximate westerly direction, parallelling the former railroad bed, until discharging
into a small stream behind the Randolph Place condominiums.) Consequently, three
monitoring wells were installed on the property. More than two feet of separate-
phase petroleum product, presumably gasoline, has been observed in both
downgradient monitoring wells. A temporary passive recovery system was installed to
remove floating product from those wells Water samples from the wells were not
collected and subjected to laboratory analysis, apparently due to the presence of the
floating product.
Correspondence submitted to the Department prior to completion of the Phase
I report indicates that efforts have been made to seal any evident leaks in the storm
drain that might have allowed petroleum product to enter the storm drain, and a
vapor recovery system has been placed on the drainage pipe at its outlet behind the
Randolph Place condominiums.

order to determine the appropriateness of short-term measures at the site to prevent
the continued migration of gasoline and associated vapors Department i which requiring that additional
information on be submitted hazard
u and that further investigation be performed.
Additional information the Department is requiring includes:
1) all monitoring data on water level and product thickness that has
been collected to date,
2) chronology of product recovery,
3) the amount of product recovered to date,
4) the results of any laboratory analyses and in-house or field screening
that has been conducted to date (and not preeviioulyrreeported) ondeither

days from the date of this letter.
Additional investigation that must be performed in order to more adequately
characterize the nature and extent of contamination in terms of potential imminent
hazards includes:
1) the installation of a monitoring well across Pearl Street, on the
opposite side of the storm drain, in order to determine the level of
contamination that may be moving in a downgradient direction beyond
the storm drain,
2) the installation of a monitoring well immediately downgradient of the
former waste oil tank in order to determine whether contamination from
the tank is impacting groundwater,

3) sampling and analysis of soils beneath the former waste oil tank for '
total petroleum hydrocarbons,io al volatile compounds (including
chlorinated solvents),
4) sampling of groundwater from all wells that do not contain a

Case # 1-0647
Dear Mr. Brindis:
As discussed in our meeting on August 9, 1990, regarding road and sidewalk
construction in the vicinity of the City Auto property, several environmental factors
related to possible gasoline contamination in the subsurface should be considered.
Since it is not expected that construction activities will encounter groundwater, that
contingency will not be addressed in this letter. However, there is a slight possibility
that some contaminated soil could be encountered in the construction areas. In
anticipation of that, the City should endeavor to have a consultant on-site that is
knowledgable in the field of contaminated soil analysis, storage, and removal as
detailed in "Management Procedures for Excavated Soils Contaminated with Virgin
Petroleum Oils (Policy #WSC-89-001). At a minimum, soils excavated in the vicinity
of City Auto should be screened in the field for volatile organic compounds via the
jar-headspace method outlined in the above policy. AU soils indicating significant
levels of contamination must be managed in accordance with that policy, and the
Department of Environmental Protection must be notified.
Of particular concern during construction activities in the vicinity of City Auto
are the health and safety considerations related to possible excessive levels of gasoline
vapors in the construction area. This is most likely to be a problem when the asphalt
is being ripped up or when soils are being disturbed. An appropriate Health and
Safety plan should be developed for the construction site which takes that possibility
into consideration. At a minimum, the breathing air of the construction workers
should be monitored at appropriate intervals using standard methodologies and
equipment, and contaminant levels requiring the use of personal protective equipment
and/or other appropriate measures must be established.

Re: City Auto Repair/Randolf Place
Case # 1-0647/WP90-745
Dear Mr. Andrilddes:
The Department of Environmental Protection has determined that the soil
surrounding the storm drain which runs from Pearl Street to Pleasant Street and
discharges behind the Randolf Place Condominium complex is a potential migration
pathway for gasoline contamination emanating from the City Auto Repair property.
The Department is therefore requiring that. Environmental Compliance Services, the
consultant for City Auto Repair, sample groundwater in the vicinity of the storm
sewer by the most appropriate and feasible method. The consultant should be
responsible for developing an appropriate Health and Safety Plan for whatever
method of sampling they deem appropriate.
If you have any questions regarding the contents of this letter, please contact

Dear Sir/Madam:
As per 310 CMR 40.1403(3)0), the Massachusetts Contingency Plan Public Notification
requirements, this letter serves as notification of the availability of a Response Action
Outcome Statement for the above-referenced facility.
On May 31, 1989, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
received a report that gasoline was being discharged from a storm sewer system into
the Mill River located approximately 0.2 miles southwest of the site. The source of the
gasoline sheen and vapors was identified by the DEP as the City Auto Repair site.
Between June 7, and June 9, 1989, six (6) underground storage tanks (USTs) were
excavated and removed from the site. Upon completion of the tank removals, a
release of oil and/or hazardous materials (OHM) was evident at the former gasoline
and waste oil tank locations
Since the removal of USTs, the conditions which caused the initial release notification
appear to have abated over the past seven years due to natural attenuation and
biodegradation. In addition, the groundwater for the site has been reclassified as a
non-potential drinking water source.
A risk assessment was conducted on the property, and an Activity and Use Limitation was
imposed at a portion of the facility in order to minimize human contact with the subsurface
contaminants.
As per 310 CMR 40.1403(7), the Massachusetts Contingency Plan Public Notification
requirements, please find enclosed a copy of the Activity and Use Limitation (AUL)
registered with the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds on July 10, 1997 (Book 5155,
Page 84). Also enclosed is a copy of the legal notice scheduled to be published in the Daily

uORTHAMP OM&MD OF HEALTH
Mr. Peter McErlain:
There is a substantial environmental problem concerning the drainage
runoff behind the Randolph Place apartments on Pleasant St. and the
city needs to respond to this immediately. Strong, noxious odors,
reminiscent of petroleum refinery sludge, constantly assault the
residents, making it impossible to reside outdoors The odor - a greasy,
syrup-like plume that seems to coat the mouth and nose with tar,
sickening anyone who inhales it - is beyond repulsive. This health
hazard needs addressing NOW, before warmer weather turns this foul
stream and its virulent cocktail of distillates into a more volatile
situation than it already is.
Please contact me at the address below to inform me what measures
the city is taking to rectify this hazard. Incidentally, I noticed an
article appearing in a 1990 issue of the Hampshire Gazette describing
this very same unctuous problem, and assigning some of the blame on
a (now defunct) gas station at the corner of Pleasant and Pearl St.
Whether underground tanks are leaking needs to be determined and
the stream cleaned up. This situation will not amend by wishful
thinking alone.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Patrick Sofarelli

Proposed Scope of Work
Randolf Place Condominiums
The following investigative work is proposed in response to complaints by
residents of odors emanating from the vicinity of the stream located behind the
condominium complex. The work will include both the collection of stream and
streambank sediment from several locations along the stream and the sampling of
groundwater from the monitoring well discovered along the former railrod bed. From
the location, this well is presumed to be well MW-5 from a previous investigation of
the Whiting Oil property. The purpose of sampling both stream sediment and
material from the streambank is to distinguish between possible contamination that
has been introduced into the stream sediment from runoff and that which might be
entering the streambank area due to subsurface migration.
A total of four samples of stream sediment will be collected from the edges of
the stream bed during a period of low flow. Sampling locations are noted on Figure
1. One sample is to be taken immediately downstream of the culvert outfall at the
western end of the municipal walkway. Other stream sediment samples will be
collected at approximately 100-200-foot intervals along the stream, with one sample
taken downstream of the small culvert entering the stream from beneath the walkway,
one sample taken at the bend in the stream, and one sample taken downstream of
the culvert outfall behind the condominiums.
Samples of streambank sediment will be obtained either by excavating 1-2 feet
into the bank with a shovel and collecting the sample from a depth at or slightly
below the observed water table or by hand-augering into the bank area to the depth
of the water table and collecting the sample at that point. Four to five samples will
he collected along the northern and eastern banks of the stream in areas where visual
or olfactory evidence or analytical screening methods (such as headspace analysis)
suggests that the highest levels of contamination might be found. At a minimum,
samples will be obtained downgradient from the small culvert, at the bend in the
stream, and behind the condominium complex.
All sediment samples will be screened for volatile organic compounds via
approved headspace methodology using a photo- or flame-ionization detector.
Samples will he submitted to a state-certified laboratory and analyzed for volatile
organic compounds via EPA method 8240 and total petroleum hydrocarbons via a
hydrocarbon scan methodolgy developed for the gas chromatograph. The hydrocarbon
scan should yield both quantitative and qualitative information on the amount and
type of petroleum hydrocarbons present in the samples.
Randolf Place S.O.W. - Page 2
Groundwater from the available monitoring well should be sampled using
appropriate methodologies, including a thorough well-development process since the
well has been inactive for an extended period of time. Following collection, the
groundwater sample should be analyzed for volatile organic compounds via EPA
method 624 and for total petroleum hydrocarbons via a hydrocarbon scan, as noted
above for the sediment samples.
Pending the results of the laboratory analyses, a decision will be made as to
what further actions or additional investigation will be required. It is likely, however,
that additional monitoring wells will be required on, or downgradient from, the former
Whiting Oil property.
