STANTON W.BIGELOW,P.E. City Engineer Director of Public Services July 25, 1991 Mr. Grant Stockwell, Trustee Barstock Realty Trust 24 Conomo Avenue Lynn, MA 01904 Re: Building at, Jefferson-Avenue, Salem, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Stockwell : This is to inform you and your tenant at the above-referenced building, Northeast Provisions, Inc . , that on Monday, July 29 , 1991, staff from the City' s Water Division, Department of Public Services will, upon my instructions, disconnect the building at 1 Jefferson Avenue from the public water distribution system of the City of Salem, unless any concrete action is evident by close of business on Friday, July 26, 1991 at the site to comply with the order (to cease wastewater discharge to the City' s storm sewer) contained in my letter to you dated July 16 , 1991 . As stated in that letter, discharges of fats, oil and grease (FOG) and solid and putrescible residue from the chicken processing operation of Northeast Provisions to public waterways of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and navigable waters of the United States from this connection constitute a violation of State and Federal laws, with substantial penalties for each such violation. As the City of Salem could incur liabilities for such violations, as the owner of the storm sewer, we cannot and will not allow such discharge to continue. Also as stated in the letter of July 16 , 1991, only industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged to a storm sewer or natural outlet, in accordance with Sec. 23-52 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Salem. Also, the permit un- der which R.B. Hall Corporation, the previous tenant, operated as a discharger to the South Essex Sewerage District (even though the discharge did not actually occur) , is invalid for the current ten- ant' s operation, and your facility would thus be in violation of that permit as well . Barstock Realty Trust July 25, 1991 Page 2 In discussing this matter this morning with your attorney, I learned that he has been unsuccessful in gaining your tenant' s agreement to pursue the several permits that are necessary to al- low the current operation to continue. I am, therefore, forced to take the action stated above, after having duly notified both you and your tenant, in my previous correspondence, of my intent so to act. To have to take this action is unfortunate, and I regret that the lack of proper response by you or your tenant leave me no alternative. However, as I stated in my letter of July 16, 1991, the seriousness of the violation, and the resultant environmental consequences of it, dictate that this action be taken.

City Engineer Director of Public Services July 16 , 1991 Mr. Grant Stockwell , Trustee Barstock Realty Trust 24 Conomo Avenue Lynn, MA 01904 Re: Building at rl Jefferson Avenue, Salem, Massachusetts Y Dear Mr. Stockwell : This is to inform you and your tenant at the above-referenced building, Northeast Provisions , Inc. , that on Monday, July 15, 1991 , staff from the City ' s Engineering Division, Department of Public Services conducted dye tests at the building at 1 Jefferson Avenue to determine the direction of flow of wastewater from the industrial operation currently being conducted at the premises by Northeast Provisions . Based upon those tests , it was determined that, instead of being connected to the sanitary sewer in Margin Street , the building sewer is connected to a storm drain crossing the adjacent vacant lot at the intersection of Margin Street and Jefferson Avenue, which is the site of construction of the new Salem Police Head- quarters building. The storm drain discharges , through a siphon structure under the MBTA tracks , to the South River Channel under Canal Street and, eventually, to Salem Harbor. Discharges of fats , oil and grease (FOG) and solid and putrescible residue from the chicken processing operation of Northeast Provi- sions to public waterways of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and navigable waters of the United States from this connection consti- tute a violation of State and Federal laws, with substantial penalties for each such violation. Only industrial cooling water or unpolluted process waters may be discharged to a storm sewer or natural outlet, in accordance with Sec. 23-52 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Salem. You are, therefore , hereby notified that the subject building sewer connection is in violation of local, State and Federal laws and regulations , and all discharges , other than as stated above, from said .connection must cease immediately upon your receipt of r Barstock Realty Trust July 16 , 1991 Page 2 this letter. If , within five (5) business days of your receipt of this letter, we are not satisfied that such wastewater discharge to the storm sewer has ceased, we will take whatever action we deem necessary to physically remove said connection from the City storm sewer . You and your tenant are further advised that there are specific permit application processes which must be followed by you to ob- tain permission to effect a proper industrial wastewater connec- tion to the City ' s sanitary sewer system, which is administered by the Division of Water Pollution Control of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection -(DEP) and this office , as well as to effect an industrial wastewater discharge to the sewer, which is administered by the South Essex Sewerage District (SESD) . The former permit process takes from 6 to 18 months for agency review, hearing and action from the date of permit application submittal . To have to take this action is , indeed, unfortunate , and I regret that the facts leave me no alternative. However, the seriousness of the violation, and the resultant environmental consequences of it, dictate that this action be taken, and that you act immediately to comply with the order contained herein.
