RE: SALEM - Metropolitan Boston/
Northeast Region
310 CMR 7.13 - Stack Testing
FINAL APPROVAL
The Metropolitan Boston/Northeast Region of the Department of Environmental
Quality Engineering, has received a report titled "Stack Emissions Test Report,
Salem Harbor Station. Unit No. 1, 2, 3, and 4. New England Power Company, Salem,
Massachusetts". This report outlines the results of compliance testing conducted
on July 21,22, and 23, 1986 on Salem Harbor Units 1, 2, 3, and 4. Unit No. 4 was
tested for particulate emissions while units 1, 2, 3, and 4 were tested for
nitrogen oxides emissions. The nitrogen oxide testing was for informational
purposes only.
A summary of the reported particulate emission rates follows:
1. Unit No. 4 had an average particulate emission rate of 0.058 pounds per
million B.t.u, during normal operation and an average particulate
emission rate of 0.072 pounds per million B.t.u. during soot blowing.
A comparison of these results with the regulatory requirement indicates that
Unit No. 4 is in conformance with the particulate emission rate of 0.12 pounds per
million B.t.u. and the Department hereby grants FINAL APPROVAL of the particulate
portion of the compliance test.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate
to contact Mr. James E. Belsky, Acting Air Quality Section Chief, at 5 Commonwealth
Avenue, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801.

FINAL APPROVAL
The Metropolitan Boston/Northeast Region of the Department of Environmental
Quality Engineering, has reviewed the plans, specifications and the Standard
Operating and Maintenance Procedures dated December 6; 1984 and updated December

will consist of specification and non -specification used lube oil from steam
turbines, compressors, and mobile equipment, such as tractors, which are used
on-site. Off-site generated waste oil consists of specification and
non -specification waste oils, which are generated at and transferred from diesel
electric generating stations at 26 Vincent Street, Gloucester, and 78 Water Street,
Newburyport, Massachusetts. These facilities are owned by Massachusetts Electric
Company and are operated by New England Power Company. The on-site generated waste
oils are stored in 55 gallon drums then transferred to a dedicated 1000 gallon
underground storage tank. Off-site oil is transported in 55 gallon drums and added
to the same tank. This oil is pumped from this 1000 gallon tank into the
facility's fuel oil return line which returns fuel oil to the fuel oil storage tank
being used as a day tank. This will provide adeqbate mixing of the oils. These
oils will be burned exclusively in Unit No. 4, a Riley Stoker Corporation boiler
having a maximum firing rate of 33,000 gallons of No. 6 fuel oil per hour. There
is also a waste oil tank in the oil supply pump house which collects drains from
pumping equipment and discharges to the same return line. It is projected that
approximately 12,000 gallons per year of waste oil will be collected and burned in
Unit 4. Approximately 130 to 1.70 million gallons of No, 6 fuel oil having a sulfur
content not in excess of 2.2 percent by weight is currently burned in Unit 4 per
year.
Analysis of the waste oil by independent laboratories indicates that the waste
oil has the following characteristics:

The Department is of the opinion that the plans, specifications, and the
Standard Operating and Maintenance Procedures pertinent to the submittal are in
conformance with current air pollution control engineering practice, and hereby
grants FINAL APPROVAL for the project, as submitted, with the following provisos:
1. That should any nuisance condition(s) be generated by the operation of
this facility, then appropriate steps will immediately be taken by
New England Power Company to abate the nuisance condition(s).
2. That the ability of the equipment to maintain an emission rate at or
below 0.12 pounds of particulate per million B.t.u. shall be demonstrated
when and if, in the opinion of the Department, such should prove
necessary.
3. That no solvents, other waste oils, or any other liquid wastes shall be
added to the waste oil and burned or burned separately in the subject
fossil fuel utilization facility without first having received written
Department approval.
4. That off -specification oil not generated on-site shall be transported via
a licensed hazardous waste transporter and in accordance with all
applicable Hazardous Waste Regulations. All waste oils not generated on
site shall be presumed to be off -specification unless an independent
analysis is conducted on each shipment of waste -oils. Analysis shall
include as a minimum, testing for the following constituents; sulfur,
total halogens, lead, arsenic, cadium, chromium, and PCB content.
5. That New England Power shall apply for and obtain a recycling permit
through the Department's Division of Hazardous Waste.
6. That New England Power shall provide quarterly reports to the Department
which indicate quantity of on-site and off-site waste oil cumbusted at
the described facility during the most recent three month period. Also,
any laboratory analysis performed shall be due on January 15, April 15,
July 15, and October 15 of each year. The first quarterly report shall
be submitted on or before October 15, 1987 and shall cover the months of
July, August and September 1987.

Salem Harbor Station Oil/Hazardous Material
24 Fort Avenue Release/Threat of Release at
Salem, MA 01970
WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF NOTICE OF
RESPONSIBILITY/SUMMARY OF RESPONSE
ACTIONS TAKEN/REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Attention: Jack Pitman,
Environmental Engineer
Dear Sir:
As a result of an investigation conducted by the Department of Environmental
Quality Engineering (DEQE) on December 16, 1986, the Department has determined that
there has been a release/continued threat of release of #2 fuel oil in the area of
fuel oil storage tank D-5 adjacent to the discharge channel. Such incident is
governed by Chapter 21E of the General Laws of Massachusetts (herinafter "M.G.L.
Chapter 21E"), the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention and
Response Act, which was enacted on March 24, 1983.
The Department has reason to believe based on available information that you
are, under the provisions of M.G.L. Chapter 21E, Section 5(a), responsible for the
occurrence of such release/threat of release.
On December 16, 1986, Department personnel verbally notified Robert DeHart of
your company of your responsibility for such release/threat of release and gave him
one copy of a document prepared by the Department and entitled "Brief Synopsis of
M.G.L. Chapter 21E, the Massachusetts 011 and Hazardous Material Release Prevention
and Response Act." He accepted such responsibility at that time.
Your company's acceptance of responsibility for such release means that your
company has entered into a contract with Geotechnical Engineers of Winchester, MA
to take all necessary remedial actions (i.e. assessment, containment and/or removal
actions) relative to such release.
On July 20, 1987, the Department received the hydrogeological report prepared
by your consultant. The Department is in general agreement with the findings and -
conclusions of the consultant's report, however, one problem that still exists is
the identificaiton of the source of the oil release. Should the discharge into the
waterway recur or should new information concerning the source of the oil be
revealed, the Department must be notified immediately and your company will be
required to undertake further investigation/remediation. Until such time, your
company should institute a periodic monitoring/sampling/analysis program of
groundwater via the existing observation well@ to determine changes, if any, in the
condition of the groundwater. Reports of your findings should be submitted to the
Department's Site Assessment Section for review and refer to case #N86-1275.
Thank you for your cooperation regarding this urgent matter.
