5 Page 5 of 7 innovative long-term aquifer test to determine the aquifer hydraulic properties. The data was utilized to calibrate the United States Geological Survey (USGS) three-dimensional groundwater flow and transport model MODFLOW and MODP A TH. The models were used to evaluate the time to achieve cleanup under natural attenuation and proposed extraction/treatment alternatives. The selected remedial action alternatives considered a conventional groundwater pump and treatment system and vertical re-circulation wells. To provide the basis for selection, these two alternatives were evaluated in terms of effectiveness, short-term and long-term reliability, implement ability, costs, risks, benefits and timeliness. Based on this evaluation, a conventional groundwater pump and treatment system was selected. Managed and prepared the Phase III Remedial Action Plan (RAP) focusing on evaluating potential remedial alternatives for the contaminated soils on the junkyard property. The evaluation determined that on-site soil vapor extraction (SVE) and forced aeration or SVE and off-site soil reuse at a landfill would be the most feasible method of remediation. Prepared a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) for the site and attended and presented information at numerous public meetings. Project Manager and Licensed Site Professional, Environmental Hazard Evaluation, Confidential Client, Lowell, Massachusetts.

Site investigation activities included characterizing and coordinating the off-site disposal of contaminated soils from an underground storage tank (UST) removal. The results of the Phase II Comprehensive Site Assessment (Phase II CSA) indicated that the entire site was impacted by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The predominant source of contamination was in the fill material. No significant risks were identified to indoor site workers, however, a risk was present to human health for future construction workers who may conduct subsurface excavations at the site (e.g., utility work). Based on the results of the Phase III RAP, a remedial action alternative was selected. This alternative, after implementation, would constitute a Permanent Solution, and a Class A-3 Response Action Outcome (RAO) would be achieved. Submittals prepared for this project included an LSP Evaluation Opinion, Phase I ISI Report, Tier Classification, a Phase II CSA,

7 Page 7 of 7 Phase III RAP, a Phase IV Remedy Implementation Plan, and public involvement activities (site was a PIP site). As part of this project, prepared and developed a forensic assessment to determine the nature and source of soil and groundwater contamination. As part of this assessment, oil samples were collected from the Postal Service UST, coal tar samples from the adjacent former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) property, and on-site soil and groundwater samples. The results of this assessment identified that a portion of the soil and groundwater contamination detected at the Postal Service facility was attributed to the former MGP. Worked with Postal Service and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection personnel to redefine the disposal site boundary and limit remedial actions to only the contamination attributed to releases from the Postal Service facility. Phase I through III Investigations, Immediate Response Action (IRA), and Response Action Outcome (RAO), United States Postal Service Facility, Lawrence, Massachusetts, Project Manager and Licensed Site Professional (LSP) Managed and served as LSP on Phase I through Phase III investigations at the Postal Service facility located in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Site investigation activities included characterizing and coordinating the off-site disposal of contaminated soils from an underground storage tank (UST) removal.
