Dear Mr. Greenbaum:
On behalf of our client, Prolerized New England Company, LLC (PNE), a Potentially Responsible Party for the
referenced Disposal Site, and in accordance with the requirements of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan
(MCP) (310 CMR 40.1403(3) (e)),we are providing notification that we are submitting a Phase I —Initial Site
Investigation (Phase 1) report and Tier Classification to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) in relation to the referenced property on or about May 14, 2024. The Phase I report and Tier
Classification will be available for review at the DEP Northeast Regional Office in Wilmington, Massachusetts
by appointment. Electronic versions of the document will also be available on the DEP Searchable Waste Site
List which can be accessed from the DEP web Site:
http://eeaonIine.eea.state.ma.us/UEFI/wsc viewer/main.aspx
The findings and conclusions of the Phase I report and Tier Classification are as follows:
This Phase I Report has been prepared in conformance with the requirements of 310 CMR 40.0480 to
summarize assessment activities performed to evaluate the release identified by RTN 3-38132. The testing
conducted to date has identified the presence of EPH, SVOCs, metals, PCBs, and ACM in debris mixed with
subsurface soils, and non-native material is present at the ground surface in portions of the Site. Based on
the information available at the date of this report an IRA is not required and a condition of SRM does not
exist in relation to the disposal site. Both the need to conduct an IRA and evaluation for a condition of SRM
will be conducted as additional information is developed for the disposal site during future testing, assuming
access authorization is received from the property owner.
Based on a comparison of the conditions at the Disposal Site to the MCP Tier I Criteria set forth in 310 CMR
40.0520(2), the Site is classified as Tier II. The MCP provides the opportunity to request additional Public
Involvement Activities under 310 CMR 40.1403(9) and 310 CMR 40.1404. Please contact the undersigned if
you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
