Subject: 72-hour Release Notification
78 Palmer Street
Salem, Massachusetts 01970
Release Tracking Number: 3-35818
Dear Mr. Greenbaum:
Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (Partner), on behalf of Prime Storage Shetland, LLC (our client), is
notifying you of a 72-hour release notification for 78 Palmer Street, Salem, Massachusetts to the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). A copy of the Release Notification
Form for this condition is enclosed.
Partner is conducting a residential indoor air quality assessment as part of the Immediate Response Action
(IRA) activities for Release Tracking Number (RTN) 3-36124 related to trichloroethene (TCE) impacts to
indoor air in the basement level of Building 4 of Prime Storage Shetland Park located at 45 Congress Street
in Salem Massachusetts. The assessment activities for Prime Storage Shetland Park include an investigation
of potential vapor intrusion conditions at residences on Pingree and Palmer Streets located to the west of
Prime Storage Shetland Park.
On November 7, 2023 Partner conducted residential indoor air quality sampling at 78 Palmer Street. The
scope of the investigation included two 24-hour indoor air samples collected on the first floor and basement
and one soil gas sample collected through the basement floor.
Indoor air sampling results detected TCE in the unoccupied basement level at a concentration of 2.42
micrograms per cubic meter (pg/m3) which exceeds the MassDEP residential threshold value. Soil gas
sampling results detected TCE, tetrachloroethene, and cis-1,2-dichloroethene at concentrations of 5,640
pg/m3, 328 lag/m3, and 358 lag/m3, respectively. These soil gas concentrations exceed the MassDEP
residential screening values for soil gas.
The detection of these compounds above threshold and screening values represents a Condition of
Significant Release Migration (SRM) and required a 72-hour release notification pursuant to the
Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) (310 CM 40.0313(4)(f)).
Partner verbally notified the MassDEP on November 16, 2023 of the 72-hour reportable condition.
More than just assessments-solutions.

include locations adjacent to 78 Palmer Street. Specifically access requests letters have been sent to the
first floor occupants at 76 Palmer Street and 85 Leavitt Street.
Pursuant to Section 40.1403(9)of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP), local officials of a community
in which a disposal site is located or in any other communities which are, or are likely to be, affected by a
disposal site may request an opportunity for Public Involvement Activities related to any IRAs conducted
pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0410 or Release Abatement Measures conducted pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0440
and upon Tier Classification pursuant to 310 CMR 40.1404. Such requests shall be made in writing to the
person(s) conducting the response actions and copied concurrently to MassDEP.
