Subject: Site Assessment Relative to M.G. L.Chapter 21E
1 Sewall Street
Salem, MA
Dear Mr. McDonald:
The Gulf of Maine Research Center Inc. of Salem, Massachusetts is pleased to
submit this Site Assessment Summary relative to the current provisions of Massachusetts
General Law (M.G.L.) Chapter 21E and all implementing regulations under said law for
the property located at 1 Sewall Street in Salem, Massachusetts, here -in -after referred to as
the "Site".
The purpose of this investigation was to review the uses presently associated with
the Site and, to the extent ascertainable by inquiry in the Assessment Summary, the uses
previously associated with Site to determine whether or not oil or hazardous material is.
being, or has been released at the Site as defined under M.G.L. Chapter 21E.
The potential for the generation, use, treatment, storage and disposal of oil or
hazardous material at the Site was considered during the investigation of the Site described
herein which was conducted between April 6, and May 8,1990. The investigation
included observations from a Site visit, a description of the property and abutting
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
properties, a review of the site history, information obtained from local and state officials
and a limited subsurface investigation.
Based upon the limited subsurface investigation and research information, evidence
exists that a small quantity of petroleum may have been spilled into the groundwater in the
area of the 10,000 gallon underground fuel oil storage tank at the Site. Also, a level of 158
mg/kg petroleum hydrocarbons was detected in a composited soil sample from surface
samples at B1, B2, and B3. The 10,000 gallon tank is still in use and is reportedly least 25
years old. In addition, a 2,000 gallon underground fuel oil storage tank is located beneath
the sidewalk on Essex Street. This tank also is still in use and is reportedly approximately
5 to 8 years old. A 55 -gallon drum of what may be used oil or an and -corrosion fluid was
located in the boiler room of the building on the Site. Floor drains connecting to the City
sewer system are located in the building. Two sump pumps are located in the building; one
in the filter room and one in the boiler room. Material observed covering some pipes in the
boiler room and filter room may have possible asbestos containing materials.
Gulf of Maine Research Center Inc., therefore makes the following
recommendations:
1) The DEP should be notified of the presence of the contamination in the
groundwater and the soil. It may be appropriate to consider the contamination as
originating as a result of a spill of less than 10 gallons. Although the levels of
volatiles detected are wi[nrn drinking water standards, the DEP should determine if
notification of the presence of these volatiles is necessary. Since the Site is located
in a commercial area, the allowable level for petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil is
300 mg/kg.
2) The 10,000 gallon tank on the Site is at least 25 years old. It should be
removed at the time of or prior to the excavation for the building addition according
to all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations. The 2,000 gallon tank is
currently used to store heating fuel for the Salem Housing Authority. This tank
should be tightness tested on a routine to assure that it is not leaking. If it is no
longer in use, it should be removed or made inert according to all applicable
Federal, State, and Local regulations.
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
3) The 55 -gallon drum of what may be waste oil or and -corrosive material
located in the boiler room of the building should be removed from the Site and
disposed of properly by a licensed hazardous waste contractor in accordance with
all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations.
4) The floor drains in the building should be regularly cleaned and maintained.
The two sump pumps in the building should be periodically inspected for the
presence of a sheen or other indications of oil or hazardous materials.
5) The areas of suspected asbestos material should be monitored and repaired
as necessary under direction of a certified asbestos inspector.
Should you have any questions in regard to this matter please feel free to contact
either me or my assistant, Jean Schwab.
Scerely,
f?ug ulligan, Ph.D.

INTRODUCTION
This Site Assessment Summary has been prepared to present the results of an
investigation to determine whether or not oil or hazardous material is being, or has been
released on parcel of property in Salem, Massachusetts located at 1 Sewall Street and
known as Lot 438, Salem Assessor s Map 26, hereinafter referred to as the "Site". The
report includes observations from a site visit, a physical description of the Site and
surrounding properties, information obtained from the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection, (formerly, DEQE), Salem Health Department, Salem Fire
Department, the analytical testing of groundwater and soil samples, and, an assessment,
based on this investigation, of whether or not oil or hazardous material is being, or has
been released at the Site relative to M.G.L. Chapter 21E.
SITE LOCATION
The Site is situated on the west side of Sewall Street at the comer of Sewall Street
and Essex Street within a downtown business zoned area of Metropolitan Salem as
depicted in the Site Locus shown in Figure 1 of this report. Essex Street is a well traveled,
two lane road with parking on both sides providing a route through downtown Salem.
4WDKW1-rAWXW11 013 VAIN 0 to] 91
The Site consists of 31,903 square feet of property and is depicted as Lot 438 Map
number 26, on Figure 2 of this report (Salem Assessors Map), The Site is occupied by a
building divided into three units. Unit one at 284 Essex Street contains retail space on the
ground floor of the building occupying the Site; unit two at 290 Essex Street contains the
third and part of the second floor of the building and is owned in part by the Salem
Housing Authority; and unit three, currently occupied by the Y.M.C.A., is located at 1
Sewall Street. The remainder of the Site consists of an undeveloped area in the
northwestern section of the Site, which is accessed by North Street. Utilities which service
the Site include sewer, water, gas, and electricity. The building is heated by #2 fuel oil
supplied by a 10,000 gallon underground heating oil storage tank, and a 2,000 gallon
underground heating oil storage tank.
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
Surf icial Geology. Soils at the Site are classified by the US Soil Conservation Service
as Urban Land. The Urban Land Soil Unit consists of nearly level to moderately steep
areas from which the soils have been altered or obscured by urban works or structures.
Typically buildings, paved areas, or industrial areas cover more than 75% of this soil unit.
Topography and Drainage. The Site is located approximately 3,000 feet west of the
of Salem Harbor within the North Coastal Drainage Basin. No surface water bodies are
associated with the Site. Site topography is basically level and the property is situated
within an elevation of 20 to 30 feet NGVD. Regionally, the topography gently slopes
down gradient to the North River, located approximately 900 feet north of the Site.

The Site is located within a downtown business zoned area of Salem. The Site is
abutted to the north (listed from west to east) by the Wesley Methodist Church (Lot 441;
Figure 2), a three unit property (Lot 440; Figure 2), a two unit property (Lot 349; Figure 2)
owned by Drew H. Romanovitz, and a parking area (Lot 439; Figure 2) owned by the City
of Salem. West of the Site (Lot 442; Figure 2) is an undeveloped area owned by the Salem
Y.M.C.A. Southwest of the Site is a two unit building (Lot 138; Figure 2) owned by
Three Hundred Essex Street Trust. Across Essex Street, south of the Site, the abuttors are
the Essex House Associates, Inc. (Lot 456; Figure 2). East of the Site across Seawall
Street, (as listed from south to north) is a building (Lot 437; Figure 2) owned by James O.
Brown, a parking lot (Lot 435; Figure 2) owned by the City of Salem, and a condominium
building (Lot 434; Figure 2) with 36 listed owners.
Information from the 1874 City of Salem Water Works Atlas indicates that the Site
was occupied by private residences of the Heirs of William Hook and Mary A. Sanders. A
building permit (#159) was issued on July 21, 1887 to construct the Y.M.C.A. building
which occupies the Site. According to Mr. Bruce McDonald of the Salem Y.M.C.A., the
building was completed in approximately 1906. On September 16, 1955 a permit (#336)
was issued for an addition to the rear of the main building at 290 Essex Street. On January
10, 1974, a permit (#18) was issued for repairing windows, and for interior repairs.
Permit (#165) dated June 24, 1974 was issued for the demolition of a one-story addition.

GULF Of MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
A permit (#138) for interior remodeling was issued on June 22, 1975. A permit (#412) for
roof repairs was issued on January 12, 1980. Permits #53, #47, and #60, dated March 2,
1982, February 16, 1983 and February 28, 1984 respectively, were issued for interior
renovations.
In 1984, the property was divided into three units and made into condominiums.
Unit 1, located at 284 Essex Street Condo houses retail store fronts with the Y.M.C.A.
retaining a 10% interest. Unit 2, located at 290 Essex Street is fifty percent interest of the
Y.M.C.A. and a fifty percent interest of the Salem Housing Authority. Unit 3, located at
288 Essex Street Condo at 1 Seawall Street, is an area where the Y.M.C.A. retains a 40%
interest.
Research was conducted with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP), (formerly DEQE) and Salem Board of Health and Fire Department files
on oil and hazardous wastes.
On May 1, 1990 Mr. John Sullivan of the Gulf of Maine Research Center Inc.
reviewed the files at the northeast regional office of the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection (DED), Files for records of known releases of oil and/or
hazardous materials as well as storage facilities and spill locations at or near the Site both
completed and under investigation were inspected. The Site Assessment and Spills
Databases revealed the following information with regard to properties in the vicinity of the
Site:

GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
No reports or complaints were on file relative to the Site. The North River is listed
as a location to be investigated. The North River is approximately 900 ft. north and down
gradient of the Site, therefore the hazardous materials release under investigation should not
impact the Site. A spill of #2 fuel oil at 188 Essex Street was reported on November 4,
1986 and handled by Empro Services. The Site is to the west of this spill and should not
be impacted. Superior Transportation on Bridge Street had a spill of 25 to 30 gallons of #2
fuel oil on September 19, 1988, with Zecco responding to the spill. Superior
Transportation is located approximately 800 ft. northwest and down gradient from the Site;
therefore this spill should not impact the Site.
Information on file with the DEP identified Cooper's Garage, located approximately
1/2 mile southwest of the Site, as a location of gasoline and oil releases to the
groundwater. A May 9, 1989, GMRC letter, sent to Brad Stewart of the Incident
Response Division of the DEP, identified the presence of 60 cubic yards of oil
contaminated soil being stockpiled within the building. Also, relatively high levels of
volatile organic compounds were detected in a groundwater sample collected from a
monitoring well installed inside the building. Due to the distance of this contamination
!y� from the Site, it is not likely to impact the conditions of the Site.
DEP files also contain information regarding the Litwins Motors (now A 1 Auto
Brokers) property located approximately 1/2 mile southwest of the Site. The information
identifies the excavation and on-site stockpiling of 125 cubic yards of gasoline
contaminated soil, the removal of three underground storage tanks and a northerly direction
for groundwater flow. The information goes on to state that up to one inch of free product
was observed in monitoring wells installed on the property. Recommendations for this
property included the removal of underground tanks, testing, removal and disposal of
contaminated soil and the installation of a petroleum recovery system Due to the distance
of this contamination from the Site, it is not likely to impact the conditions of the Site.
Captain Robert Turner of the Salem Department of Fire Prevention was contacted
on April 12, 1990 and reported on April 26, 1990, that the Site contains one 10,000 gallon
capacity underground fuel oil storage tank. In addition, a 2,000 gallon capacity
underground storage tank is located beneath the sidewalk at 288 Essex Street. The oil
burner to this tank was serviced in 1982. Two underground storage tanks recently have
been removed from nearby properties. On August 31, 1987, a 4,000 gallon capacity
underground fuel oil storage tank was removed from the property at 289 Essex Street,
4
' GULF 6F MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
located across the street from the Site and formerly occupied by the Salem Theater. On
May 21, 1987, a 1,000 gallon capacity underground fuel oil tank was removed from the
property at 281 Essex Street. This property houses Tompkin's Furniture, and is located
southeast of the Site at the comer of Crombie Street and Essex Street.
According to Mr. Bruce McDonald of the Y.M.C.A., the 10,000 gallon tank on the
Y.M.C.A. property is approximately 25 years old and the 2,000 gallon underground fuel
oil storage tank at 288 Essex Street is used by the Salem Housing Authority. According to
Mr. Lee Smith of the Salem Housing Authority, the 2,000 gallon tank is 5 to 6 years old
and is currently being used to store #2 fuel oil for heating the second and third floors of the
building.
SITE INSPECTION
Jean Schwab of the Gulf of Maine Research Center, Inc., conducted a general
visual reconnaissance of the Site and its vicinity on April 30, 1990, accompanied by Mr.
Bruce McDonald of the Y.M.C.A.
A visual inspection of the Site exterior was conducted. No items of environmental
concern were observed, other than the existing 10,000 gallon underground heating fuel oil
storage tank located on the Site and the 2,000 gallon underground heating fuel oil storage
tank located beneath the sidewalk on Essex Street. The brick building housing the
Y.M.C.A. contains three stories ::rd a basement. The third story and part of the second
story of the building houses residential units for elderly housing (Stephen Zisson Elderly
Housing Residence). Space on the first story of the building along Essex Street is leased to
commercial businesses and offices. The Site building shares a common wall with the
building to the west at 298 Essex Street. An undeveloped section of the Site property is
located west of the building. This area occasionally is used to park vehicles. Concrete
footings and the concrete slab of a former parking garage are exposed at the ground surface
within this section of the Site. The remainder of this area is covered with gravel. No
visual evidence of oil or hazardous materials was observed in this area. The existing
10,000 gallon underground heating fuel oil tank on the Site is located exterior to the
western side of the building. The fill and vent pipes to the tank are located along this
exterior wall.
GULF CF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
PSI The site -building interior was also inspected The third floor of the building
contains residential housing, the second floor contains residential housing and an indoor
track, and the first floor contains offices, lobby area, and a 20 yard three -lane swimming
pool. The basement contains the men's and women's locker rooms, a fitness room,
recreational room, day care center, four weight rooms, boiler room, and filter room. The
locker rooms contain saunas, showers, and bathrooms. Three floor drains were observed
in the women's locker room floor, the floor drains did not appear to be clogged. The
building interior is cleaned by Sunshine Janitorial of Salem, Mass.
According to Mr. McDonald, the existing swimming pool was constructed in 1955.
The original swimming pool is located beneath the existing pool. Chemicals currently used
to treat the pool water include soda ash (to neutralize the water) chlorine (used as a
disinfectant), and aluminum sulfate (used in the filter system). According to Mr.
McDonald, mercuric acid formerly was used in the water treatment system. The chlorine is
in concentrations in the pool ranging from 1.8 to 2.5 ppm and the pH is approximately 7.8.
i
Approximately 2.5 gallons of chlorine per day is used to treat the pool water. The pool
water is continuously filtered and cleaned. The drains are located along the sides of the
pool with a main drain in the center of the pool. Every few years, the pool is drained and
cleaned; at this time, the water is released into the city sewer system. A 50 lb bag of soda
ash and a 5 -gallon container of chlorine were observed stored within a locked wooden box
on the ceramic tile floor.
The filter room is located in the 'basement behind the pool area. No unusual odors were
observed in the filter room. The floor in the filter room is concrete. A 50 lb bag of
aluminum sulfate and eleven, 5 -gallon plastic containers of chlorine were observed stored
on the concrete floor near the bottom of the stairway leading to the filter room. The metal
pipes in the filter room showed evidence of corrosion, and the concrete walls appeared to
have a rust colored hue. Chlorine is contained in an approximately 20 -gallon closed plastic
container, where it is pumped through the swimming pool. The pool water is cleaned as it
is pumped through the three enclosed sand filter systems in the filter room According to
Mr. McDonald, aluminum sulfate is used on top of the sand in the filters. The filters are
periodically backwashed; the aluminum sulfate in liquid form is discharged into the city
sewer system, and the aluminum sulfate is replaced The interior of the sand filter systems
were not visually inspected. No visible sheen was observed on the surface of the standing
water in the sump pump located in the filter room. Material observed covering some pipes
in the filter room may have possible asbestos containing materials.
6
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
The boiler room also is located in the basement of the building. No unusual odors
were observed in the boiler room. The steam boiler is approximately 20 years old, and the
burner is approximately 5 years old. The domestic hot water and steam room are heated by
city gas. A 55 -gallon drum was located in the boiler room. Labeling on the drum indicates
that it may be a treatment fluid, which according to Mr. McDonald may have been used in
the past to prevent corrosion in the boiler system; however it has not been used within the
last 8 years. An overflow tank is located adjacent to the boiler area. A sump pump below
this tank appeared to be dry. Material observed covering some pipes in the boiler room
may have possible asbestos containing materials.
SUBSURFACE, INVESTIGATIONS
On March 29, 1990, Mr. Douglas Kemp of the Gulf of Maine Research Center Inc.
supervised the advancement of test borings and the installation of (2) two groundwater
monitoring wells at the Site. Figure 3 of this report depicts the approximate locations of the
test borings and wells. Drilling operations were performed by Down to Earth Drilling of
Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, using a truck mounted four inch I.D. hollow stem auger
drilling apparatus. Drilling equipment was reportedly steam cleaned before and after use on
the Site property.
Soil samples were collected at five foot depth intervals using a split spoon sampling
probe driven into the soils using a f40 lb slide harnmer. Blow counts required for the
collection of these samples are shown on the drilling logs, which are presented in Appendix
B of this report.
Upon completion of each test boring, a 10 foot length of 2 -inch I.D. PVC well
screen with blank PVC risers completing the depth of the well was placed inside the hollow
stem augers, which were then extracted. Clean sand was placed around the well screen and
around the solid riser, 2 ft. to 3 ft. above. the well screen,. A bentonite seal at least 1 ft.
thick was placed around the top of the clean sand. The rest of the length of the boring was
back-filled around the blank riser, and the wells were finished with a Grinch steel roadway
box cemented in place approximately two inches above the ground surface level. During
the drilling operation each soil sample was placed in a 250 ml glass jar and screened in the
field for the presence of volatile compounds utilizing a portable H Nu photoionization
detector calibrated to benzene. Volatile vapor concentrations is soils from the Site are
7
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
determined by the Jar Headspace Procedure. The jar is partially filled with soil, covered
with aluminum foil, capped and tightly sealed. The jar is then agitated and allowed to stand
Wn
for approximately 15 minutes. The H Nu probe is then inserted into the sample headspace
through the foil to measure vapor concentrations. No detectable concentrations of volatile
vapors were measured in any of the soil samples tested with the H Nu detector.
Results of groundwater analyses from the monitoring wells installed identified the
presence of volatile organic compounds. Benzene (trace), Ethylbenzene (2 ug/1), Toluene
(5ug/1) and Total Xylenes (5ug/1) was detected in the water sample obtained from
monitoring well MW -1. The combination of these compounds indicates the possible
presence of a petroleum product in the groundwater. No Volatile organic compounds were
detected in groundwater sampled from monitoring well MW -2. No volatile organic
compounds were detected in the soil sample analyzed from test boring B-6 at monitoring
well MW -1. Soil samples analyzed from B-6 contained no detectable amounts of volatile
organic compounds, and soil samples analyzed from B-6 and B-7 contained no detectable
amounts of petroleum hydrocarbons. The composite surface soil sample obtained from test
borings B-1, B-2, and B-3 contained 158 mg/kg of petroleum hydrocarbons (Refer to
Appendix C for chemical analysis results).
The level of 158 mg/kg petroleum hydrocarbons detected in a composite surface
soil sample from test borings B-1, B-2, and B-3 is below the 300 mg/kg limit established
for areas of low environmental impact and above the 100 mg/kg limit for areas of high
environmental impact. Since the'Site is in a commercial area, the DEP established 300
mg/kg limit is applicable. Also, the result might indicate the possible surface contamination
- caused by parked vehicles in this area.
Drinking water standards established for Benzene, Ethylbenzene, Toluene and Total
Xylenes are 5ug/l, 700 ug/l, 2,000 ug/1 and 1,000 ug/1, respectively. The concentrations
detected in the groundwater sampled from MW -1 are well within these limits. In addition,
since there are no drinking water sources within the area of the Site, the presence of these
compounds in the groundwater does not pose a threat to the public health.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the limited subsurface investigation and research information, evidence
exists that a small quantity of petroleum may have been spilled into the soil and leached into
8
4 1 GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
14 the groundwater in the area of the 10,000 gallon underground fuel oil storage tank located
rMA on the Site. A level of 158 mg/kg petroleum hydrocarbons was detected in a composited
NA
soil sample from surface samples at B 1, B2, and B3. A 2,000 gallon underground fuel oil
storage tank is located beneath the sidewalk on Essex Street. A 55 -gallon drum which may
contain used oil or an anti -corrosion fluid was located in the boiler room of the building on
the Site. Floor drains connected to the city sewer system are located in the building. Two
sump pumps are located in the building, one in the filter room and one in the boiler room.
Material observed covering some pipes in the boiler room and filter room may have
s�A possible asbestos containing materials.
Gulf of Maine Research Center Inc., therefore makes the following
recommendations:
1) The DEP should be notified of the presence of the contamination in the
groundwater and the soil. It may be appropriate to consider the contamination as
originating as a result of a spill of less than 10 gallons. Although the levels of
volatiles detected are within drinking water standards, the DEP should determine if
notification of the presence of these volatiles is necessary. Since the Site is located
in a commercial area, the allowable level for petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil is
300 mg/kg.
2) The 10,000 gallon tank on the Site is at least 25 years old. It should be
removed at the time of or y.ior to the excavation for the building addition according
to all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations. The 2,000 gallon tank is
currently used to store heating fuel for the Salem Housing Authority. This tank
should be tightness tested on a routine to assure that it is not leaking. If it is no
longer in use, it should be removed or made inert according to all applicable
Federal, State, and Local regulations.
3) The 55 -gallon drum of what may be waste oil or anti -corrosive material
located in the boiler room of the building should be removed from the Site and
disposed of properly by a licensed hazardous waste contractor in accordance with
all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations.
- 9
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
4) The floor drains in the building should be regularly cleaned and maintained.
The two sump pumps in the building should be periodically inspected for the
presence of a sheen or other indications of oil or hazardous materials.
5) The areas of suspected asbestos material should be monitored and repaired
as necessary under direction of a certified asbestos inspector.
The presence of the contamination observed in the groundwater and soil at the Site is not
considered to be a threat to the public safety. During the Site investigation, no odors, or
visual evidence of hazardous waste contamination was detected interior to, or exterior the
building.

N.P.D.E.S. permit to allow ocean disposal of drilling mud
and cuttings in the Mid Atlantic and therefore enabled
offshore oil and gas exploration to proceed.
* Preparing permit strategy, documents and environmental
reports and designing, subcontracting and supervising
studies of land, water, and air environment for EG&G New
England Energy Park 10,000 ton/day coal gasification
plant proposed for Fall River, MA.
* Preparing permit strategy and documents for proposed New
England Electric - EG&G co -generation plant to generate
process steam and --electricity at Millers Falls, MA.
* Directing application for waiver of stack tests at NASA
Hazardous Waste Rocket Fuel Incinerator at Kennedy Space,
Center.
Gulf of Maine Research Center has also arranged and conducted
a series of U.S. Industrial Pollution Control Tours for selected
international environmental officials. This work is being
undertaken for the World Environment Center and U.S. Department of
State (Agency for International Development). The Center has
arranged the itinerary and conducted a tour for the Environmental
Protection Minister of Tunisia, who visited industrial facilities in
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas and Florida. Similar
visits are planned for other senior international environmental
officials.

The activities in which GMRC engages are multi -disciplinary,
and they involve interacting with facility -managers, attorneys,
engineers, geologists, geohydrologists, chemists, biologists,
economists and planners. GMRC often works with solid and liquid
waste disposal alternatives, treatability of wastes, surface and
ground water contamination, and the impacts of hazardous materials
and chemicals on the environment and on public health and safety.
The Center evaluates ocean outfalls and impacts to other water uses,
defines wetland boundaries, defines compensation for wetland
utilization, evaluates feasibility of dredging and disposal of
dredge spoils, and prepares Environmental Impact Statements,
Environmental Impact Reports and applications for environmental
permits and approvals.
Dr. Hugh F. Mulligan, the Director of the Gulf of Maine
Research Center, Inc., consults with other individuals or firms, as
necessary, to carry out the Center's environmental programs. Prior
to establishing this company, Dr. Mulligan worked for ten years with
engineering and environmental consulting firms and spent fifteen
years in academic research, teaching and public service.
Dr. Mulligan has authored more than 50 scientific publications
on Limnology, Aquatic Botany, Phytoplankton, and Oceanography and
has presented papers at national and international symposia. He was
awarded an NSF Fellowship at Cornell in 1961, was awarded a
Fulbright Fellowship to develop a Center of Excellence in
Oceanography at the University of Karachi in Pakistan in 1975-76,
and in 1975 was selected by the U.S. and Rumanian Academies of
Sciences for a ten-month Exchange Research Fellowship to study the
Danube Delta of the Black Sea. He has worked closely with
scientists from the Agency for International Development, world
Bank, The United Nations Food and Agricultural organization, United
Nations Development Program, and other international agencies.
Dr. Mulligan has had considerable experience in working on
projects that were quite controversial and often precedent setting.
His role has been to design and receive industry and regulatory
approval for special studies which satisfied the letter of the
regulatory requirements and which were technically sound and cost
effective. As the studies are being performed, he works closely
with regulatory officials to insure that they are well informed and
that the statutory requirements are met.

Additional projects completed by Dr. Mulligan include:
* Obtaining all environmental permits for Allied Specialty
Chemical Oximes Plant in Hopewell, VA.
* Designing regulatory studies, preparing a compliance plan
and obtaining ocean dumping permits for Allied Chemical
Company enabling them to discharge industrial wastes into
an approved disposal area in the Mid -Atlantic.
* Preparing the first Environmental Reports which achieved
compliance with U.S.G.S. Regulations and consistency
with Coastal Zone Management Regulations for companies
exploring for oil and gas off Mid and North Atlantic coasts.
* Obtaining N.P.D.E.S. permits for Hudson River Power Plants
with Thermal Discharge Demonstration Compliance Studies.
* Designing and conducting complex studies on the
Phytoplankton Productivity of Georges Bank for the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management which were essential to permit
oil and gas exploration.
* Designing an Ocean Dumping Compliance Program for the
Government of Australia.
* Evaluating dredging and ocean disposal of dredged
materials for the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers at
Roosevelt Roads Naval Base, Puerto Rico.
Experience with projects such as these has enabled Dr.
Mulligan to analyze environmental problems and identify the most
cost effective - technically sound solution. Dr. Mulligan can
provide a third party role by preparing or reviewing proposed
scopes -of -work; reviewing -proposals and performixg a technical
overview of reports and studies while the work is in progress.
