LSP Opinion regarding Activity and Use Limitations Associated with the Response
Action Outcome (RAO) Statement for the Property at 59 Jefferson Avenue, Salem,
Massachusetts
Release Tracking Number (RTN) 3-3651
The site at 59 Jefferson Avenue is historically a commercial property currently owned by the
59 Jefferson Avenue Trust. The property is approximately pentagonal and is comprised of 1.37
acres. The building on the site is currently vacant and the site is unoccupied. The most recent
tenant was Ryder Truck Rental Company (Ryder), which occupied the site between 1962 and
1995. The site was identified as a Location to be Investigated(LTBI) on July 15, 1991. A
Waiver of Approvals was granted to Ryder in January, 1994. The Waiver stated that Ryder
was to conduct remedial actions associated with a release from on-site USTs, assess floor drain
conditions,and assess the nature and extent of tannery wastes on-site. Ransom Environmental
Consultants, Inc. (Ransom) prepared Phase I and Phase II Site Investigation Reports, which
were filed with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection(MADEP).
Subsequent to Ransom's work, S E A Consultants Inc. (S E A) was retained by the property
owner to review existing information and to conduct a limited independent investigation of
subsurface conditions. S E A concluded that the metal contamination in the soils at the site
could be attributed to tannery wastes reportedly used as fill at the site. PAH contamination
detected at the site may arise from a number of sources including fill material, contamination
deposited over a wide region by a historical fire in Salem, or the presence of oil, as defined in
the regulations. Based on remedial and investigative activities completed by Ransom,the Risk
Characterization completed by Ransom, the investigative work conducted by S E A, and a
Method 3 Risk Characterization completed by S E A and Cambridge Environmental, Inc., the
petroleum hydrocarbons,PAHs, and metals contamination at the site do not present a threat to
health,public welfare, or the environment, and that the condition of"No Significant Risk"can
be maintained in the future provided that the Activity and Use Limitations (AULs) outlined
below are maintained. The current scenario indicates that the two instances where incremental
increases in risk are anticipated are in the case of construction workers excavating soil or
installing utilities or a child trespasser. It was determined through analysis of the risk
characterization that if contact with the subsurface soil could be eliminated by use and
maintenance of an impermeable surfacing material, a condition of"No significant Risk" could
be maintained at the site. The following conditions were defined to meet the requirements for
maintaining a condition of"No significant Risk" as long as any of the following activities and
uses occur on the Property:
(i) The current use of the property (vehicle maintenance and storage and office
use) and routine maintenance of existing trees and landscaping;
(ii) Other surficial activities which do not disturb the existing pavement; and
(iii)Such other activities'or uses which, in the opinion of an LSP, shall present no greater
risk of harm to health;-safety, public welfare, or the environment than the activities
and uses set forth in this Paragraph.
2. Activities and Uses Inconsistent with the AUL Opinion. Activities and uses which are
inconsistent with the objectives of this Notice of Activity and Use Limitation, and
which, if implemented at the Property, may result in a significant risk of harm to
