RE: Notice of Phase II Comprehensive Site Assessment
9 Peabody Street,Salem,MA
Release Tracking Number(RTN)#3-36975
Dear Mayor Pangallo:
Pennoni Associates, Inc. (Pennoni) has prepared a Phase II Comprehensive Site Assessment for the Disposal Site
located at 9 Peabody Street in Salem which is about 10,000 square feet in area and is currently used as a paved
parking lot. Releases of lead and vanadium in historical fill soils were reported in August 2021 and assigned Release
Tracking Number (RTN) #3-36975. Concurrent groundwater investigation did not identify impact to groundwater.
Currently access to soil is blocked by pavement so there is no human exposure to contaminated soil.
Soils at the Site are characterized by approximately 7 feet of historical fill underlain by native marine clay and sand.
The source of the lead and vanadium release appears to be historical placement of fill soils sometime before 1888,
and that impact appears to be limited to fill soils in approximately the first eight feet below grade. The total volume
of fill soils impacted above cleanup standards is estimated at 2,500 cubic yards. In the southwestern corner of the
Site,a soil volume of approximately 400 cubic yards is impacted with lead above the Method 3 Ceiling Limit(M3CL).
The requirements of a Permanent or Temporary Solution under 310 CMR 40.1000 have not been met.
Comprehensive Response Actions are necessary at the Site to achieve Permanent or Temporary Solution and a
Phase III study for the identification, evaluation, and selection of Comprehensive Remedial Action Alternatives is
necessary to select a remedial action alternative.
