Salem, MA
Part of MADEP RTN 3-12517
Dear Sir or Madam,
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Contingency Plan(3 10 CMR 40.1403(7)(a),you
are being provided with a copy of a Partial Termination(PT) of an Activity and Use
Limitation (AUL) on the above Tier II disposal site, known as the Hillcrest Chevrolet.
The original Notice of Activity and Use Limitation was registered with the Essex South
County Registry District on November 5, 1999. The property subject to the original
Notice of Activity and Use Limitation is identified as Lot 5 on Land Court Plan No.
21246D.
Subsequent to that time, Lot 5 was subdivided into two portions, which are
identified as Lots 8 and 10 on Land Court Plan 21246E. The smaller Lot 8 was bought
by Ridgeside Realty LLC. This PT applies only to Lot 8,because it is located outside the
area impacted by the release near the Hillcrest Chevrolet building and subject to the
original AUL.
If you have any questions,please feel free to contact Rich Murphy at John M.
Corcoran and Company, 100 Grandview Road, Suite 203, Braintree,MA 02184 at 781-

LICENSED SITE PROFESSIONAL OPINION
PARTIAL TERMINATION OF NOTICE OF ACTIVITY AND USE LIMITATIONS
LOT 8 OF 4 FIRST STREET
SALEM, ESSEX COUNTY MASSACHUSETTS
This exhibit provides the Licensed Site Professional (LSP) Opinion, pursuant to 310
CMR 40.1083(3)(a), relative to the Partial Termination of the Notice of Activity and Use
Limitation (Partial Termination) for the disposal site identified as Hillcrest Chevrolet,
207 Highland Avenue, and assigned Release Tracking Number 3-12517. The referenced
section requires that the opinion specify why the Notice of Activity and Use Limitation
(AUL) is no longer necessary to maintain a level of No Significant Risk of harm to
health, safety, public welfare or the environment for a portion of the property.
This opinion also provides an evaluation of changes in land uses / activities and / or Site
conditions after a Response Action Outcome Statement; and documents that no change to
the Class A-3 Response Action Outcome would occur as a result of the Partial
Termination. These items are addressed below.
This LSP Opinion is provided by Samuel W. Butcher, a duly licensed LSP, of Goldman
Environmental Consultants, Inc., of 60 Brooks Drive in Braintree, Massachusetts. The
Partial Termination opinion is provided only for Lot 8 of the property identified as 4 First
Street. This LSP Opinion is prepared on behalf of the current owner of Lot 8, i.e.,
Ridgeside Realty LLC, c/o John M. Corcoran and Company, of 100 Grandview Road,
Suite 203 in Braintree, Massachusetts.
Introduction
The original AUL was filed for the property defined as Lot 5 of 207 Highland Avenue.
Lot 5 is an approximately 122,511 square-foot parcel. Its boundaries are described by the
Land Court to be located as shown upon plan numbered 21246-D, drawn by Essex
Survey Service, Inc., Surveyor, dated June 8, 1978, as modified and approved by the
Land Court, filed in the Land Registration Office. This land is also identified as Lot 2 on
Salem Assessor's Map Number 13.
This property is identified as the Hillcrest Chevrolet disposal site, and was assigned
Release Tracking Number 3-12517, by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection (MADEP), as a result of a discovery of waste oil contamination during the
performance of a subsurface investigation in 1995. The investigation and remediation of
the release were performed by I.E.S., Inc., of Somerville, Massachusetts, and are
summarized in their Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement report, dated
September 15, 1998. This report indicated that the disposal site met the requirements for
a Class A-3 RAO. Daniel G. Jaffe (LSP # 2347), of I.E.S., Inc., was the LSP-of-Record
for this disposal site until the original AUL was registered with the Essex South County
Registry District on November 5, 1999.
451597 (Page 5 of 11)
Southern Essex District RegistrY
314/2005 9:27:00 RM PRL&C
I.E.S., Inc. determined the source of the release to be two underground storage tanks,
with capacities of 3,000 and 1,500 gallons, used to store waste oil. They were located
outside the southwest wall of the Hillcrest Chevrolet building. During March 1975, the
tanks were removed and approximately 97 tons of contaminated soils were excavated as a
Limited Removal Action (LRA). Following MADEP notification, the LRA was
continued as a Release Abatement Measure (RAM), and an additional 155 tons of
contaminated soil were excavated and removed from the property. Contaminated
groundwater was pumped from the excavation during the LRA / RAM. Separate phase
product (1,028 gallons of waste oil and water) was pumped from a recovery well as part
of an Immediate Response Action (IRA).
Subsequent to the LRA / RAM, subsurface investigations were performed from 1995 to
1997. These investigations document that the residual contamination was located in the
vicinity of the UST excavation and extended beneath the Hillcrest Chevrolet building.
Risks associated with the release were investigated via two separate risk characterization
documents. Risks associated with groundwater contamination were evaluated in a
Method 2 Risk Characterization report, dated January 6, 1998, prepared by LaGoy Risk
Analysis, Inc., of Hopkinton, Massachusetts. Risks associated with soil contamination
were evaluated in a Method 1 Risk Characterization report by I.E.S., Inc. Taken together,
these reports indicate that a condition of No Significant Risk of harm had been achieved
presuming the implementation of an AUL.
The AUL boundaries were identified as all of Lot 5, and the following AUL conditions
were applied:
1. Permitted uses and activities entailed:
a. "any use which does not disturb the building foundation over the
contaminated area;" and
b. "any use below the building after implementing proper precautions."
2. Activities and uses inconsistent with the AUL Opinion entailed:
a. "the excavation and disturbance of soil, or any construction activities
beneath the concrete floor under the building, without using workers who
are adequately protected and trained; and implementing federal and state
occupational, health and safety requirements, including but not limited to
129 CFR 1910.120."
3. Obligations and conditions set forth in the AUL Opinion:
a. "any construction within the area of the AUL, including disturbance of the
concrete floor of the building or the underlying soil, shall be done by
workers adequately protected and trained in implementing federal and
state occupational, health and safety requirements, including but not
limited to 129 CFR 1910.20;" and
b. "any soil generated must be disposed of in accordance with applicable
laws."

An Evaluation of Changes in Land Uses / Activities and / or Site Conditions after a
Response Action Outcome Statement
Subsequent to the completion of the RAO Statement and registering the AUL, Lot 5 was
subdivided into two parts. The subdivided land is identified as Lots 8 and 10 on a plan
entitled "Plan of Land being a Subdivision of Lots 5 and 6 shown on Land Court Plan
No. 21246°", dated June 30, 2003 and prepared by Harry R. Feldman, Inc., Surveyor.
This new plan was registered with the Land Court on October 29, 2003, as Land Court
Plan No. 21246E. Lot 10 comprises 117,409 square feet and includes the Hillcrest
Chevrolet building. Lot 8 comprises a much smaller area (5,104 square feet) and is
located in the east corner of former Lot 5.
Lot 6, which is not part of the disposal site, was subdivided into Lots 7 and 9. Lot 7
encompasses 173,900 square feet, and Lot 9 is a much smaller 3,449 square feet. Lot 6 is
primarily paved but includes some undeveloped areas. Until recently, it was used to store
new cars by the adjacent business, Hillcrest Chevrolet. No maintenance or repair work
was conducted on Lot 6.
On October 30, 2003, Lots 7 and 8, and the nearby unregistered Lot D were sold by
Ralph Cerundolo, as Trustee of Hillcrest Realty Trust II, to Ridgeside Realty LLC. A
residential apartment complex, Hawthorne Commons II, is slated for development on the
combined Lots 7, 8 and D.
At the time of the subdivision, the Notice of AUL still applied to Lot 8. Its applicability
and necessity to maintain a condition of No Significant Risk of harm are examined
below.
Why the Notice of AUL is no Longer Necessary for Lot 8
Based on the RAO Statement report prepared by I.E.S., Inc., the disposal site is defined
as the 2.81-acre Lot 2 of Salem Assessor's Map 13. The Notice of AUL was applied to
the entirety of Lot 2. However, based on the information provided in the RAO Statement
report, the residual contamination is located southwest of the building and beneath the
building. Lot 8 is located approximately 50 feet south-southeast of the Hillcrest
Chevrolet Building, at its closest point. No analytical data for soil samples exists for Lot
8. However, the existing soil boring data for the release indicate that the soil
contamination does not extend to the southeastern wall of the building. The one
sampling point located immediately along the southeastern wall between the building and
Lot 8 (i.e., B-2) contained levels of petroleum hydrocarbons (total petroleum
hydrocarbons (TPH) = 64 and 100 mg/kg) below the most conservative, applicable
Method 1 Standards, i.e., S-1/GW-2 and S-1/GW-3 standards (800 and 800 mg/kg).
The disposal site boundaries were conservatively defined as the boundaries of Lot 2 of
Salem Assessor's Map 13 (which is the same as Lot 5 of the Land Court Plan 21246°).
Based on the available data, Lot 8 is located outside the real disposal site boundaries.
451597 (Page 7 of 11)
southern Essex District Registry
3/4/2005 9:27:00 PM PRL&C
The AUL conditions mostly were directed at land use, excavation or soil disturbance
activities which might occur to soils located beneath the floor of the existing building.
The building is not located within Lot 8, not even in part. The only AUL conditions that
might apply to soils located outside the building footprint pertain to obligations regarding
any construction within the area of the AUL. These obligations require the construction
be done by workers adequately protected and trained to ensure health and safety, and the
disposal of excavated soils in accordance with pertinent laws.
The AUL's obligations are inconsistent with the AUL's other conditions. The AUL's
"permitted activities and uses" and "inconsistent activities and uses" address only soils
beneath the existing building. Given that the soil contamination does not extend to Lot 8,
and that the disposal site boundaries can be more accurately determined by excluding Lot
8, and given that the I.E.S., Inc.'s Method 1 Risk Characterization did not indicate a
Significant Risk of Harm from exposure to soils beyond the building footprint, the AUL
conditions are not necessary for Lot 8 in order to maintain a finding of No Significant
Risk of Harm.
Based on the foregoing analysis, it is the opinion of the LSP, Samuel W. Butcher, that
Lot 8 meets the requirements, pursuant to 310 CMR 40.1083(a), for a Partial Termination
of Notice of Activity and Use Limitation.
Effect of the Partial Termination on the Class A-3 Response Action Outcome
The Partial Termination of AUL has no effect on the applicability of the Class A-3 RAO
to the Hillcrest Chevrolet disposal site. An Activity and Use Limitation is still in effect
for Lot 10, which is the remainder of the original Lot 5. No other criteria for a Class A-3
RAO, specified at 310 CMR 40.1035 and 40.1036(3), were potentially altered by the
Partial Termination. As a result, a Class A-3 RAO is still valid for the Hillcrest
Chevrolet disposal site.

MAYOR
DECISION OF THE PETITION OF RIDGESIDE REALTY LLC REQUESTING A
VARIANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED A 209 HIGHLAND AVENUE AND FIRST
STREET R-2
A hearing on this petition was held April 30, 2003 with the following Board Members
present: Nina Cohen, Richard Dionne, Stephen Harris, Bonnie Belier and Joseph
Barbeau. Notice of the hearing was sent to abutters and others and notices of the
hearing were properly published in the Salem Evening News in accordance with
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A.
The petitioner is requesting Variances from minimum lot area per building, Variance from
one building per lot and Variance from maximum height of fence and boundary walls for
the property located at 209 Highland Ave and First Street located in an R-21 zone.
The Variances, which have been requested, may be granted upon a finding by this
Board that:
a. Special conditions and circumstances exist which especially affect the land, building
or structure involved and which are not generally affecting other lands, buildings and
structure involve.
b. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioners.
c. Desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and
without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district of the
purpose of the Ordinance.
The Board of Appeal, after careful consideration of the evidence presented at the
hearing, and after viewing the plans, makes the following findings of fact:
1 Petitioner Ridgeside Realty LLC is in the process of acquiring a 4.7acre parcel on
First St at Highland Ave. for Phase II of a residential building project that was
recently completed across the street. The project will consist of four mid-rise
mulit-family dwellings with a total of 108 one and two bedroom units.
2. The proposed multi-family project has the full support of the City of Salem
Planning Board. By action of the Salem City Council on March 13, 2003, the site
was rezoned to R-3, multi-family district. Adequate parking will be provided on
site; therefore petitioner requires only the following variances: a variance from
minimum lot area per dwelling unit, a variance to allow more than one building
per lot, and a variance from maximum height of fence and boundary walls.

3. Support for the petitioner's project was urged by Ward 3 City Councillor Joan
Lovely, who complimented the developer for have created a first class housing
development in Salem and for continuing to invest in the City. A letter from Mayor
Stanley Usovicz was read into the record showing support for this project. There
was no opposition.
On the basis of the above findings of fact, and on, the evidence presented at the
hearing, the Zoning Board of Appeal concludes as follows
1. Special conditions exist which especially affect the subject property but not the
District.
2. Literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would involve
substantial hardship to the petitioner.
3. Desirable relief can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good
and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent of the district or
the purpose of the Ordinance.
Therefore, the Zoning Board of Appeal voted 5-0 to grant the Variances requested,
subject to the following conditions;
1. Petitioner shall comply with all city and state statutes, ordinances, codes and
regulations.
2. All requirements of the Salem Fire Department relative to smoke and fire safety shall
be strictly adhered to.
3. All construction shall be done as per plans submitted and approved by the Building
Commissioner.
4. Petitioner shall obtain a building permit prior to beginning any construction.
5. Exterior finishes of the new construction shall be in harmony with the existing
structure.
6. Petitioner shall obtain a Certificate of Occupancy.
7. Petitioner shall obtain proper street numbering from the City of Salem Assessors
office and shall display said number so as to be visible from the street.
8. Petitioner is to obtain approval from any City Board or Commission having jurisdiction
including, but not limited to, the Planning Board.
