Attn: Joanne Scott
Dear Joanne,
Enclosed please find, the results of the 2 1 E report which was recently performed
at Pickering Wharf. If you refer to the site PW4, which is the location we are currently
working on, the report states that the contaminated soils were"not detected at or close to
the reporting limits."
I am confident that this date proves that there is no problem at this location. Had
there been a problem at this location,,we would not have invested millions of dollars for
this property. The call from Mr. Chevoor is unsubstantiated, frivolous and false, in fact,
01r. Jeff Kelly stated to me that he,never did a report for Mr. Chevoor. Thus, in the
matter of contaminated soil, our report should at least calm any doubts you may have.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. If you have any questions
yleas-- do not hesitate to call my office.

F. CONCLUSIONS y
• Removal of the Pickering Oil Company's tank farm in the 1970s eliminated the source of
TPH noted in Enpro Services, Inc. 's previous environmental reports which led to the Site
being listed as a LTBI.
• On-site groundwater sampling, conducted May 22, 1996, confirmed that the level of
contaminants in the groundwater at the Site, both at the time the Site was originally listed and
currently, are within applicable GW-2/GW-3 limits and do not present a significant threat to
health, safety, public welfare or the environment.
• Soil sampling rounds conducted at the Site have demonstrated that TPH contaminants in on-
Site soils comply with MCP Method I Cleanup Standards and were below RCS-2 reportable
concentrations both now and at-the time,of. Lrothe-initial_Site listing.- w concentrations of
TPH-which were discovered prior to the current MCP_'s.effective date of October,19937
resulted in the Site becoming listed as an LTBI: Based'on these findings, a release of oil-may
thave occurred. However, a level of no.significant ciskto health;safety, public welfare or the
�enviionment exists at the Site and no remedial actions were necessary.
• Two underground storage tanks were removed from the Pickering Wharf Marina Property on
May 21, 1996. One 5,000-gallon diesel fuel tank and 1,000-gallon waste oil tank had been
inactive for approximately six years prior to their removal. Although the diesel tank was
observed to have numerous holes in it at the time of removal, soil and groundwater samples
obtained from the bottom of the tank excavation did not reveal contaminant levels above
MCP reportable concentrations or cleanup standards.
In conformance with 310 CMR 40.0610, this LSP Evaluation Opinion with supporting
documentation is submitted to the DEP for the purpose of removing Site No. 3-2135 from the
LTBI List.

RE: Testing of Excavated Soil
Pickering Wharf
Salem,Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Pelletier:
Gulf of Maine Research Center Inc. (GMRC)is pleased to submit this summary of
excavated soil testing at Pickering Wharf located in Salem, Massachusetts,hereinafter referred to
as the Site.
Background
North Shore Maxim Inc. was hired to conduct emergency repairs to a failing 64-foot
section of Pickering Wharf. To repair the seawall, the existing granite blocks were removed as the
wall was dismantled. Material which had been used as fill behind the seawall was also removed
prior to reconstructing the wail. In total,an estimated 100 cubic yards of material was excavated
and stockpiled on polyethylene sheeting. The material consisted of a mix of fine to coarse sand
with cobbles from the upper portion of the fill to a silty sand and marine clay with shell fragments
W depth. Bricks, wood fragments, and some coal shards were noted in the upper fill material.
Pickering Wharf had previously been the location of a bulk fuel oil storage facility for several
decades until the mid-1970s, when the tank farm was dismantled and the property was re-
developed.

GW of W"RESWCH CENTER INC.
Testing of Excavated Soils
Prior to removing the material off-Site, GMRC was retained by North Shore Marine, Inc.
to test the stockpiled material to determine the proper disposal means. On January 28, 1941,
personnel of Gulf of Maine Research Center Ine.sampled the stockpiled soil. Soil samples were
collected from six locations on the soil pile at depths ranging from one to five feet below the
surface of the pile as shown in Figure 1. All soil samples were screened with a Thermo
Environmental OYM Model 580E portable field instrument for the presence of volatile organic
compounds according to AEP Jar Headspace Methodology (Refer to Appendix I for Jar Headspace
Analytical Screening Procedure). Select samples were sent to an analytical testing laboratory to be
analyzed for the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbons, a petroleum identification,volatile
organic compounds(VOCs),total 8 RCRA metals, and pesticides. All samples were kept cool
during storage and delivery tq the laboratory.
Testing Results
Soil samples screened with the OVM Model 503B photoionization detector were
determined to contain volatile organic compounds as shown in Table I below.

EPA Method 8240,total 8 RCRA metals,and pesticides according to EPA Method 8480. The
detected compounds arc summarized in Table 2 below.

The results of the petroleum identification analysis on soil sample SS-5 indicated that the sample
contains relatively weathered No. 2 oil or diesel fuel. Copies of the analytical results provided
from the laboratory ttnd the Chain-of-custody documentation have been included in Appendix 11.
Conclusions
The analytical results indicate that the soil excavated during the seawall repair may be
considered contaminated with a virgin petroleum product. No volatile organic compounds were
11/04/1996 . 16:21 5087418648 GULF OF MAINE RES PAGE- 05
(;uLF 4'f MA,MIE RIWEAKN CENTER INC.
detected,and total metals were detected within the range found in New England/ufban soils. In
addition,the petroleum identification analysis conducted on soil sample SS-5 also suggests that the
source of the petroleum contamination is a virgin petroleum product as the chromatogram was
interpreted by the laboratory to resemble a relatively weathered No. 2 fuel oil or diesel fuel.
Based on the analytical data and the Site history, it is the opinion of Gulf of Maine
Research Center, Inc, that the excavated material is contaminated with a virgin petroleum product.
Excavated material contaminated with virgin petroleum products are regulated under the
Department of Environmental Protection(DEP)Management Procedures for Excavated Soils
Contaminated with Virgin Petroleum Oils,Policy#WSC-400-89. The policy permits the on-site
re-use of soil contaminated with a maximum concentration of total petroleum hydrocarbons of 300
parts per million (ppm,equivalent to 300 mg/kg) in areas of low environmental impact such as the
Site. Even if the Site were cogsidered to be in an area of high environmental impact eg. in the
vicinity of a drinking water supply or private drinking water well, this policy permits a maximum
concentration of 100 ppm for on-site re-use. The concentrations detected in the stockpiled soil are
equal,or less than 84 ppm,which would be suitable for on-site re-use, according to DEP policy.
According to a conversation with Mr. John Buckley of the DEP, Site Assessment Division
on February S. 1991, since the concentrations detected in the stockpiled material at the Site do not
exceed the 100 ppm diminimus, the soil is not regulated by the DEP, and therefore does not require
a Bill of Lading for transport.
Recommendations
Since the soil must be moved to another location to provide space for construction
activities,Gulf of Maine Research, Inc. recommends that the stockpiled soil be handled according
to DEP protocol as if it were contaminated. The soil policy#WSC-400-89 specifies that the soil
should be stockpiled on, and coveted with 6 mil polyethylene. The material can be transponed by
common carrier to the temporary storage destination. As GMRC has not inspected the temporary
storage location, the client should ensure that the destination location is not be within a wetland
area or within the 100-foot buffer zone of a wetland area, pursuant to all pertinent local, state, and
federal regulations. Upon completion of the seawall repair, this material must be returned to the
Site forre-use. Photographic documentation can provide a visual acount of your compliance with
these issues.

' from the failed seawall; reconstruction of the existing wall; and,
' replacement of a 12 inch drainage pipe with a 24 inch R.C. drainage
pipe.
' The Gulf of Maine Research Center Inc. of Salem, Massachusetts
served as environmental consultants for the project. Raymond C.
' Pressey, Inc. , Registered Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors,
' conducted the site survey and served as the Site Project Engineer.
Seawall demolition and reconstruction will protect Wetland Resource
Areas according to the criteria and performance standards of the
Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. c. 131 s. 40) and
' Regulations ( 310 CMR 10.00) as well as the City of Salem Wetland
' Bylaw.
' SECTION II: SITE DESCRIPTION
The site consists of the corner of Pickering Wharf abutting the
South River to the south and west of the Chase House Restaurant. In
' colonial times, the South River was a major port which extended into
the center of present-day Salem, but gradual channelization and
filling over the years has reduced the river to its present state.
The South River appears to be grossly polluted (Jerome et. al. ,
' 1967) and there is no recent evidence of shellfish, commercially
2
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
' important oceanic resources, or anadramous fish runs. The upper
reaches of the river have long been filled and drainage has been
treduced to culverts.
The site contains the following protected Resource Areas ( 310
CMR 10.00) : Land Under the Ocean; Coastal Banks; and, a 100 foot
' upland Buffer Zone.
' SECTION III: PROJECT HISTORY
On July 14, 1988, the Pickering Wharf Real Estate Development
Group (PWREDG) was in the process of developing engineering plans
' and a work protocol for the repair of the Pickering Wharf seawall,
when a portion of the seawall located west of the Chase House
' Restaurant failed. Due to the emergency nature of the situation,
' both the Salem Conservation Commission and the Salem Planning Board
allowed immediate repair work. Since the seawall is licensed, and
' reconstruction involves maintenance and repair of an existing
licensed structure, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
' Quality Engineering and the United States Army. Corps of Engineers do
' not require permits.
SECTION IV: WETLAND PROTECTION INTERESTS
The wetland interests on the property subject to protection
under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act are:
' - storm damage control
- flood control
' - prevention of pollution
- protection of fisheries
' - protection of wildlife
-3-
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
In addition, the Town of Salem General Wetlands Bylaw Ordinance
provides further protection to Coastal Wetland Resource Areas.
1 SECTION V: IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
No work will be conducted within Land Under the Ocean, therefore
no measures have been required to mitigate direct impact to this
resource area.
' Work within the Coastal Bank and Buffer Zone has been conducted
so as to minimize sedimentation into the wetland. Temporary
installation of steel sheet piling has minimized erosion and
sedimentation between demolition and reconstruction phases, and
filter fabric lining the inside of the wall will prevent further
' siltation. Reconstruction of the existing wall will have no adverse
' impact on storm damage or flood control, or on fisheries and
wildlife habitat.
' The Massachusetts Wetlands Regulations ( 310 CMR 10.24) permit
the issuing authority to issue an Order of Conditions to allow the
' maintenance, repair, and improvement (but not substantial
enlargement) of coastal structures including piers and headwalls
which existed in November 1, 1987.
SECTION VI: SUMMARY
' The applicant has, with the permission of the City of Salem
Conservation Commission and the Planning Board, initiated emergency
repair of a collapsed seawall located at Pickering Wharf, Salem,
Massachusetts. No work will be conducted in Land Under the Ocean.
Work on the Coastal Bank and in the Buffer Zone will be done in
compliance with all performance standards of the Massachusetts
4
GULF OF MAINE RESEARCH CENTER INC.
Wetlands Regulations and the City of Salem' s wetland Bylaws. We
believe we have demonstrated that the project will have no adverse
effect upon any protected wetland interests, and request that you
' issue an Order of Conditions to allow the project to be completed as
proposed.

' The Gulf of Maine Research Center, Inc. is a small business
with headquarters in Salem which specializes in defining
environmental regulations and providing technical consulting
' services to attorneys, developers, bankers, title companies,
engineers, industry and government in order to satisfy these
regulations.
Existing federal, state and local laws are being modified and
new laws enacted in order to protect the environment and the public
health and safety. Compliance with these laws requires the
' submission of technical information to local, state, and federal
regulatory agencies when operations are modified or new facilities
are constructed.
' Some of the projects which have recently been undertaken by
the Gulf of Maine Research Center, Inc. , include:
* Conducted numerous MGL c.21E site assessments (200-300 per
year) for the presence of oil or hazardous materials. As
necessary, we have coordinated and supervised remedial
' action programs on contaminated properties, including
underground tank removal, groundwater recovery system
installation and contaminated soil removal.
' * Prepared Notices of Intent and wetland Compliance Reports
for Conservation Commissions throughout the state for
' installation of submarine cables, seawalls, sewer lines,
roadways, houses and drainage structures within the buffer
zones of coastal and inland wetland resource areas.
' * Prepared expert testimony and adjudicatory hearing
testimony for Wetland Filings before Mass. DEQE for
projects in Wetland Buffer Zones.
' * Reviewed and recommended options to engineering companies,
and city and state officials relative to alteration and
' restoration of ponds, lakes and fresh and salt water
wetlands.
* Recommended sewer outfall locations in Lynn, Salem, and
' Boston Harbor and evaluated impact of sewer pipeline
through wetland and shellfish areas in Quincy, Weymouth,
and Braintree.
' * Obtained Conservation Commission approvals for Eastern
Route MBTA track, bridge and drainage improvements in

tIn addition, the staff of the Gulf of Maine Research Center,
Inc. , has experience in siting numerous land based and offshore
energy facilities including:
* Obtained U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Region 2)
N.P.D.E.S. permit to allow ocean disposal of drilling mud
' and cuttings in the Mid Atlantic and therefore enabled oil
and gas exploration to proceed.
* Prepared permit strategy, documents and environmental
reports and designed, subcontracted and supervised
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.
* Prepared permit strategy and documents for proposed New
t England Electric - EG&G co-generation plant to generate
process steam and electricity at Millers Falls, MA.
' * Directed application for waiver of stack tests at NASA
Hazardous Waste Rocket Fuel Incinerator at Kennedy Space
Center.
' Working in conjunction with Roy F. Weston, Inc. , we developed
a plan for siting a central pretreatment facility for the tanneries
in Peabody and Salem,. Massachusetts, to achieve compliance with U.S.
' EPA Tannery Pretreatment Regulations which will be enforced
beginning November 1985. ourresponsibilities on that project
include acquisition and analysis of potential site - specific
' information and the coordination of the project with the tanners and
various governmental and regulatory officials.
' We, also, are arranging and conducting a series of U.S.
Industrial Pollution Control Tours for International Environmental
Officials. This work is being undertaken for the world Environment
Center and U.S. Department of State (Agency for International
Development) . We have arranged the itinerary and conducted a tour
for the Environmental Protection Minister of Tunisia. He 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 we engage are multi-disciplinary in
nature. They involve interacting with facility managers, attorneys,
engineers, geologists, geohydrologists, chemists, biologists,
economists and planners. We are often involved in work which deals
' 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. We evaluate ocean outfalls, evaluate impacts to
other water uses, define wetland boundaries, define compensation for
wetland utilization, evaluate feasibility of dredging and disposal
' of dredge spoils, and prepare Environmental Impact Statements,
Environmental Impact Reports and applications for environmental
Permits and approvals.

Danube Delta of the Black Sea. He has worked closely with
' scientists from AID, World Bank, FAO, UNDP, and other international
agencies.
t 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.
Projects he has carried out include:
' * Obtained all environmental permits for Allied Specialty
Chemical Oximes Plant in Hopewell, VA.
' * Designed regulatory studies, prepared a compliance plan
and obtained ocean dumping permits for Allied Chemical
Company enabling them to discharge industrial wastes into
approved disposal area in the Mid-Atlantic.
' * Prepared the first Environmental Reports which achieved
compliance with U.S.G.S. Regulations and consistency
with CZM Regulations for companies exploring for oil and
' gas off Mid and North Atlantic coasts.
* Obtained N.P.D.E.S. permits for Hudson River Power Plants
with Thermal Discharge Demonstration Compliance Studies.
' * Designed and conducted 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.
' * Designed an Ocean Dumping Compliance Program for the
Government of Australia.
* Evaluated dredging and ocean disposal of dredged
' materials for the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers at
Roosevelt Roads Naval Base, Puerto Rico.
