3 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Immediate Response (IRA) Status Report was prepared for Wakefield Corporation by Geosphere Environmental Management, Inc. (GEOSPHERE), in accordance with 310 CMR of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP). The enclosed IRA Status Report is in response to a release associated with the release of oil (believed to be either #2 heating oil or hydraulic oil) detected in a monitoring well located at, Wakefield, Massachusetts (the Site). A Release Notification Form has been submitted electronically (via e-dep) to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) relative to the presence of oil in excess of one half-inch thickness in a monitoring well. An Immediate Response Action Transmittal Form (BWSC-105) is also being submitted electronically (via e-dep) to MassDEP concurrently with this report. Site Location: The Wakefield Corporation Wakefield, MA Release Tracking Numbers: Owner/Responsible Party: David Clapp, President The Wakefield Corporation Wakefield, MA (781) Licensed Site Professional: Bruce Hoskins (LSP # 7109) Geosphere Environmental Management, Inc. 51 Portsmouth Avenue Exeter, NH SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The subject property is a commercial warehouse facility and is located in a commercial area in Wakefield, Massachusetts (see Site Locus [Figure 1] and Aerial Plan [Figure 2]). The attached MCP Numerical Ranking System Map (Figure 3) shows the location of the subject property and indicates the site is not identified as a public water supply protection area, however it is located in a medium yield non-potentially productive aquifer. A small medium yield potentially productive aquifer is located just to the west of the site property. The site area is not located within an Area of Critical Environmental Concern or within the boundaries of a wetland. The closest surface water body is the Wakefield Brook located approximately 500 feet to the south of the site which ultimately feeds into Crystal Lake to the south. The IRA location is where nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) was detected in a monitoring well installed at the property. The Page 1

4 Wakefield Corporation RTN Immediate Response Action (IRA) Status Report January 17, 2014 NAPL is oil that is believed to be No. 2 heating oil (from a previously removed underground storage tank [UST]) or hydraulic oil formerly used at the property. The overall site property is shown in Figure SITE RELEASE AND INITIAL RESPONSE ACTIONS 3.1 Release The primary business at this property (Wakefield Corporation) ceased manufacturing activities in 2012 and the property was to be sold to another party for alternate uses. A potential buyer had hired an environmental consultant to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Investigation in accordance with ASTM standards. Soil borings and temporary groundwater wells were installed and soil and groundwater samples were collected. A formerly used UST containing #2 fuel oil was discovered, which was subsequently removed in August During the course of this Phase I investigation and UST removal, petroleum hydrocarbons in soil and groundwater as well as vinyl chloride and trichloroethylene in groundwater were detected at levels that exceeded the MCP reportable concentrations. The site was reported to the MassDEP on December 19, 2012 and was assigned RTN In 2013, a new potential buyer of the property engaged Envirotrac of Sharon, MA to perform additional site investigation of soil and groundwater. During this investigation in September 2013, a total of 21 soil borings were installed with 10 of the borings converted into permanent one-inch diameter PVC monitoring wells. The locations of the soil borings and groundwater wells from the 2012 and 2013 investigations are shown in Figure 4. Permanent wells are listed as MW-1 through MW-10 and soil borings are listed as SB-1 through SB-12. MW-1 and SB-3 are the same location. Envirotrac returned to the site on September 19, 2013 to sample the previously installed wells. Upon attempting to sample MW-1 (located inside the building approximately 30 feet from the former UST location), approximately 3 inches of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) (i.e., oil/free product) were measured in the well. The product was manually removed using a bailer and the well was left to equilibrate. Upon returning to the well several hours later at approximately noon, the free product had returned to the well. Based on the olfactory and visual appearance of the oil, the oil appeared to be hydraulic oil; MW-1 had been installed near open pits that formerly contained hydraulic oil. MW-1 was the only well where free product was encountered. 3.2 Notification to MassDEP Verbal notification of the free product was made by Envirotrac to the property owner, who then informed GEOSPHERE on September 20, Verbal notification was made by GEOSPHERE on September 20, 2013 at 1:10 PM. MassDEP issued Release Tracking Number The MassDEP provided oral approval for an assessment-only IRA that included monthly gauging and bailing of the impacted well. A Release Notification Form (BWSC103) has been submitted electronically to MassDEP (via e-dep). Page 2

5 Wakefield Corporation RTN Immediate Response Action (IRA) Status Report January 17, Immediate Response Actions Completed Bailing of MW-1 was performed by Envirotrac on September 19, 2013 and by GEOSPHERE on January 15, The removed oil material was placed in a container. This container was moved to an area of the building interior that was formerly used to store hazardous waste material. In addition, the well was gauged by Envirotrac on November 4, 2013 and by GEOSPHERE on January 15, No other site well has shown the presence of free product. Well gauging for MW-1 is summarized below. Table A MW-1 Well Gauging Data Date Depth to Water (ft) Product Thickness (in) 9/13/ /4/ /15/ To minimize the administrative MCP aspects of this property, the two RTNs ( and ) were linked. The original RTN was Tier Classified on December 19, 2013 as a Tier II site. The Tier classification process and the numerical ranking system score considered all information pertinent to both RTNs. After Tier Classification, RTN was linked with on December 19, 2013 via edep submittal. 4.0 IMMEDIATE RESPONSE ACTION PLAN FOR CONTINUED ACTIONS 4.1 Phase II Investigation Additional investigation into nature and extent of contamination at the site (including the extent of the free product in the groundwater) will be performed during a Phase II Comprehensive Site Assessment. Periodic bailing and gauging of MW-1 will be performed to help establish the extent of the free phase product. A Phase II Scope of Work will be prepared prior to the start of Phase II activities. 4.2 Remediation Waste Containerized waste in drums/containers will be disposed off-site at a licensed facility to receive such waste. 5.0 SCHEDULE An IRA Status Report shall be due no later than July 17, If conditions allow for site closure by this date, a Response Action Outcome Statement will be submitted in lieu of the IRA Completion Report.
