3.0 APPENDIX C
3.1 Problem Definition
Former FlynnTan Manufacturing Company Site: The Former FlynnTan site(the"site"),
located at 70-92 Boston Street, is currently owned by the City of Salem(the City). The site is
approximately 1.9 acres in size and is bordered to the south by Boston Street and to the north by
Goodhue Street. The site currently contains four separate, vacant buildings, three of which are
enclosed by a perimeter fence with a locking gate, and the fourth is securely locked. Available
records indicate the site was historically occupied by commercial and manufacturing operations
from prior to 1900 until approximately 1999. Flynn and Sons operated a leather tannery on site
from approximately 1922 until approximately 1988. Based on an interview with Thomas St.
Pierre of the City of Salem Public Property Department, small commercial operations took place
on site until 1999, including a small metals recyclingbusiness.
Site buildings include the main factory building, a storage building, and a garage/storage shed.
The main entrance to the site is located on Boston Street. Parking areas and secondary entrances
are located to the northwest, southeast and the northeast ends of the site. To the east of the
parking area located northwest of the main building is the location of a former site building. This
area was filled in after the building was demolished, sometime after the FlynnTan factory closed
in the 1990s.
The area surrounding the site is comprised primarily of commercial and residential properties.
The North River, an inlet to Salem Harbor, is located approximately %mile northeast of the site.
A feeder canal to the North River runs east to west approximately 500 feet north of the site.
Salem's downtown center is located approximately 3/4 miles east of the site. Because of its prime
location, the City of Salem plans to redevelop the FlynnTan site with new buildings consisting of
mixed-use residential and retail spaces that will serve as part of a revitalized corridor
representing the "entrance"to the City.
Based on the extensive history of industrial uses including leather products manufacturing on
site, assessment of subsurface conditions at this site is warranted.
61 Ward Street Site: The 61 Ward Street site(the"site") is approximately 965 square feet in
size and is situated in a mixed residential/commercial area. The site is developed with a one-
story, vacant brick building and a small paved area. The site is bordered to the north by Peabody
Street and bordered to the south by Ward Street. A substation is located approximately 300 feet
northwest of the site, adjacent to a municipal parking lot, on the north side of Peabody Street. A
small parking lot borders the site to the west. Further west are multiple-family residential
buildings. Several commercial properties are located south of the site along Ward Street.
Directly east of the site, across the intersection of Peabody, Ward, and Congress Streets,is
Shetland Corporate Park. Salem center is located approximately %4 mile northwest of the site.

The site was historically used for a number of commercial purposes since the late 1800s. Earliest
available information indicates a photo shop occupied the site in 1890. The building currently
occupying the site was constructed around 1920. From approximately 1937 to 1983, the site was
used for several different automotive service stations. Historical street directories for Salem
indicate site uses included gas stations until 1960, a taxi garage from 1960 to 1968, and an
automobile repair garage until approximately 1983. Tax assessor's records indicate that
Frederick D. Small took ownership of the site in 1986 and renovated the existing building for
office use.
During an August 2001 site reconnaissance, TRC observed assorted paints,maintenance supplies
and household cleaners in the storage area within the site building. A surface depression was
noted in the asphalt-paved area adjoining the west side of the building. A hydraulic lift is
believed to have been located in the former automotive repair area. A grassy area on the east side
of the building was reportedly the location of the former fuel pumping area. Based on available
information from City of Salem and Fire Department, there are no records of registered
underground storage tanks (USTs) or the removal of USTs for the site. However, due to historic,
automotive service activities,USTs are considered likely to be present at the site.
The City of Salem anticipates the 61 Ward Street site will redeveloped for uses related to a
planned urban riverfront parkway to be constructed on the adjacent properties located to the
north, along Peabody Street.
Due to the previous industrial uses of this site, including automobile repair and maintenance
activities, assessment of subsurface conditions at this site is warranted.

4.0 APPENDIX D
4.1 Project Description
The City of Salem is currently implementing a Brownfields Demonstration Pilot Program for
EPA. Portions of this program include environmental sampling of various media at selected sites
that have been identified, and may include assessment of some sites that have not yet been
identified. This Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP),which is required as part of the City's
Grant Agreement with EPA, documents proposed sampling and monitoring activities to be
implemented during the Brownfields Program. The plan describes the QA/QC procedures to be
employed to ensure the integrity, validity, and usability of the analytical results to be provided in
support of this project.
This document was prepared in accordance with the following EPA documents:
• Quality Assurance Guidance for Conducting Brownfields Site Assessments (EPA-540-R-
98-038), dated September 1998; and
• QA/R-5, EPA Requirements for Quality Assurance Project Plans (EPA—240/B-01/003),
dated March 2001.
This plan defines sampling strategies, methods, and locations, analytical methods, data handling
and tracking procedures, and specific QC procedures and QA mechanisms that will be used for
this Brownfields Program. The purpose of the QAPP is to establish procedures to ascertain the
precision, accuracy and representativeness, and objectives for the collected data.
Former FlynnTan Manufacturing Company Site:
The former FlynnTan Manufacturing Company was involved in the softening, cutting and dyeing
of leather. Potential contaminant source areas related to previous industrial use of the site
include numerous sumps and trenches, a concrete underground vault, three or more USTs,
stained surface soils, former chemical vats, and unspecified fill material, as discussed below.
Figure D-1 shows the features and layout of the site.

Salem,MA Page 8 of 56
During operation of the tannery, various chemicals and hazardous materials were used and stored
on site in association with these processes. Former areas and structures in which hazardous
materials were used and stored included leather-processing vats, dipping tanks, tumblers, settling
tanks, storage tanks, drums and floor trenches. Two on-site USTs (one 20,000-gallon fuel oil
UST and one 9,800-gallon UST with contents not reported) are recorded in Fire Department
records for the site. Although the Fire Department records did not indicate the location of these
USTs, based on existing surficial features (e.g. the presence of fill and vent pipes, broken
pavement, etc.) it appears three USTs are located within the parking area northwest of the main
building, and additional USTs may be located near the loading dock of the main building and
east of the storage building.
In September through November 1998, EPA conducted a Removal Action at the site to address
hazardous materials that were abandoned at the site and were considered a threat of a release.
EPA's removal action included the removal of hazardous materials located in drums and
aboveground storage tanks in the buildings, as well as the removal of liquids and sludges present
in several recessed drainage trenches and pits located below the floors of the buildings. Wastes
removed during the EPA Removal Action were disposed off site. The on-site USTs were not
addressed as part of the 1998 EPA Removal Action.
During an August 2001 site reconnaissance, TRC observed wood, glass, and metal debris on site
including a large pile of light ballasts. TRC observed approximately 20 empty drums located in
several areas around the site. An underground structure, referred to in EPA Removal Program
documents as a"sealed concrete vault", is located northwest of the main building. The contents
and/or former use of this vault structure are unknown. TRC also observed stained soils in two
locations at the site. A storm water catch basin, as well as numerous raceways and sumps, are
located on site. A former transformer pad is located on the north side of the storage building.
Potential source areas for this site are summarized in the table below and are indicated on Figure
D-1.

The following activities are planned as part of the Site investigation.
EPA File Review
A file review will be performed at the EPA Region 1 Office in Boston, Massachusetts to update
information regarding the regulatory history of the Site and to review EPA records regarding sump
and raceway contents pumped in 1998.
Geophysical Survey
A geophysical survey will be conducted at the site to evaluate the presence of potential USTs,
subsurface drainage structures, vault(s) and potential buried debris from the former site building
demolished in approximately 1988. The results of the geophysical work will be used to identify
some of the target locations that warrant subsurface investigation under the tasks described
below.
Hazardous Materials Survey
The site buildings shall be inspected for the presence of hazardous materials and/or wastes. A
complete inventory of the hazardous and potentially hazardous materials (including,but not
limited to, flammable liquids, mercury switches, PCB-containing ballasts or transformers,
suspect lead paint, and suspect asbestos) will be compiled to evaluate the need for further testing.
Soil Borings and Monitoring Well Program
Based on information gathered during previous EPA inspections at the site, as well as data
collected during the initial stages of this assessment, a total of ten soil borings will be advanced
at the site, and seven of the soil borings will be completed as monitoring wells. Soil and ground
water samples will be collected at these locations, as described below, in order to assess the
nature and extent of subsurface contamination. Based on local topography, ground water at the
site is expected to flow in a northeasterly direction.
Soil borings/monitoring wells will be advanced in the following locations:
(1) Near the northeast edge of the former on-site building, close to Goodhue Street.
Boring to be completed as a monitoring well;
(2), (3), (4) Near each UST/potential UST area: (a)near loading dock on south side of main
building and (b) east of storage building annex and (c) in northern portion of site,
north of former site building. Three borings to be completed as monitoring wells;
(5), (6) Near sump area in main building and one near sump area in storage building. Two
borings to be completed as monitoring wells;

(7), (8) Near areas of stained soil, northeast of the main building, and northwest of storage
building annex. Two soil borings to be installed;
(9) Near the northwest end of the main tannery building, downgradient from elevator.
Boring to be completed as a monitoring well; and
(10) Near a former equipment area in the southeast portion of the storage building annex.
Soil boring to be installed.
Soil samples will be obtained continuously at two-foot intervals up to a depth of ten feet,and
every five feet thereafter until groundwater or refusal is encountered, during the advancement of
borings and/or monitoring wells. Soil samples will be screened continuously in the field for
VOCs using the jar headspace method. Immediately upon collecting the sample, TRC will pass a
photoionization detector(PID) or equivalent over the surface of the sample and note any organic
vapor readings above background. If VOC and/or VPH analysis is required, samples from each
depth interval should be immediately and carefully placed (in a manner to minimize
volatilization) in preserved vials upon collection, and then immediately placed on ice. Soil
recovered from each depth interval will be placed into stainless steel bowls using stainless steel
spoons (all equipment to be decontaminated properly prior to use).
Soil recovered from each depth interval will be placed into stainless steel bowls using stainless
steel spoons (all equipment to be decontaminated properly prior to use).
Next, soils for headspace screening will be transferred for each depth interval into glass jars
(>_8oz.) and capped with foil followed by a screw-on lid. Then, samples will be containerized
from remaining soils for each depth interval for other potential soil analyses, and immediately
placed on ice. After at least 30 minutes, soil headspace readings will be obtained by removing
the sample caps from each jar and inserting a PID or equivalent through the foil to measure the
organic vapor concentration in the headspace. All soil headspace readings will be recorded.
Based on field observations (e.g., visual and/or olfactory evidence of contamination) and jar
headspace screening results, TRC will select the specified number of soil sample(s) from each
boring and/or monitoring well to be submitted to an off-site laboratory for analysis.
Unless otherwise noted, one soil sample from each of the ten proposed soil borings and/or
monitoring wells will be submitted to a Massachusetts-certified laboratory for VOCs, VPH,
EPH, Metals, pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) analyses. The soil samples collected
from borings in the vicinity of the former on-site building,potential USTs, and subsurface
drainage structures (described under items 1 through 6, above)will also be analyzed for SVOCs
and total cyanide. The soil samples collected from borings in the vicinity of the freight elevator
and the observed stained soil areas (described under items 7 through 9, above)will also be
analyzed for PCBs. If elevated chromium concentrations are detected in soil samples (i.e., above
MCP reportable concentrations) and if the pH and ORP analyses reveal the presence of an
oxidizing environment, then these samples will subsequently be analyzed for hexavalent
chromium.

Ground water samples collected in each of the seven monitoring wells installed at the site will be
submitted to a Massachusetts-certified laboratory for VOCs, VPH, EPH, Metals and Cyanide
analyses. In addition,the ground water samples collected from the two monitoring wells installed in
the vicinity of the subsurface drainage structures and the freight elevator(described above under
items 5,6 and 9)will be submitted for SVOC analysis. The ground water sample collected from the
monitoring well near the freight elevator will be also analyzed for PCBs.
Ground Water Elevation Survey and SPH Measurements
Following the installation and development of the monitoring wells,the wells will be surveyed to an
arbitrary site datum, depth to ground water readings will be recorded, and the wells will be gauged
for the presence of separate phase hydrocarbons(SPH). The survey information,in conjunction with
the depth to ground water readings, will be used to evaluate shallow ground water flow across the
Site.
Phase II Report
A Phase II report will be prepared which will include a summary of the work conducted,site history,
and site testing results based on TRC's proposed work. Further information concerning the Phase H
report is provided in Section 16 (Appendix P).
61 Ward Street Site:
The existing site building was constructed around 1920. Prior to 1920, site uses reportedly
included residential uses, and use as a photo shop for an unreported period of time around 1890.
From approximately 1937 to 1983, the site was used as an automotive garage, and occupied by
gasoline service stations until 1960, a taxi garage from 1960 to 1968, and an automobile repair
garage until approximately 1983. In approximately 1986, the site was remodeled into a
maintenance office and storage space related to the adjacent apartment buildings along Ward
Street. Soon thereafter, the site was vacated and has reportedly remained vacant since.
The on-site building, during its previous use as an automotive garage,was described by
neighboring business occupants as including a hydraulic lift in the main entrance area facing
eastward. The currently existing grassy area, located east of the main entrance,was the location
of the former fuel pumping area. Based on available information from City of Salem Fire
Department, there are no records of registered USTs or the removal of USTs from the site.
However, due to historic, automotive service activities, USTs are considered to be present at the
site. During a recent site visit on March 23, 2004,TRC observed a potential petroleum-storage
fill cap in the sidewalk along Ward Street (along the southern site boundary).
Potential source areas for this site are summarized below and are indicated on Figure D-2.

Hazardous Materials Survey
The site building shall be inspected for the presence of hazardous materials and/or wastes. An
inventory of hazardous materials (including, but not limited to, flammable liquids, mercury
switches, PCB-containing ballasts or transformers, suspect lead paint, and suspect asbestos) will
be compiled to evaluate the need for further testing.
Soil Borings and Monitoring Well Program
Based on observations and historic information gathered during the initial stages of this
assessment, three soil borings will be advanced at the Site and completed as monitoring wells.
Based on local topography, ground water at the site is expected to flow in a northerly direction.
Soil and ground water samples will be collected in each of the boring/monitoring well locations
in order to assess the nature and extent of subsurface contamination.
Soil borings/monitoring wells will be advanced in the following locations:
(1) near the northwest corner of the site, in a location interpreted to be downgradient from the
surface depression in the asphalt-paved area on the site;
(2) north of the site building, near Peabody Street, in a location interpreted to be
downgradient from the former automobile service area and potential hydraulic lift(s); and
(3) in the northeast portion of the site, in a location interpreted to be downgradient from the
former gasoline fill pumps.
Soil samples will be obtained continuously at two-foot intervals up to a depth of ten feet,and
every five feet thereafter until groundwater or refusal is encountered, during the advancement of
borings and/or monitoring wells. Soil samples will be screened continuously in the field for
VOCs using the jar headspace method. Immediately upon collecting the sample TRC will pass a
photoionization detector(PID) or equivalent over the surface of the sample and note any organic
vapor readings above background. If VOC and/or VPH analysis is required, samples from each
depth interval should be immediately and carefully placed(in a manner to minimize
volatilization) in preserved vials upon collection, and then immediately placed on ice. Soil
recovered from each depth interval will be placed into stainless steel bowls using stainless steel
spoons (all equipment to be decontaminated properly prior to use).
Next, soils for headspace screening will be transferred for each depth interval into glass jars
(>_8oz.) and capped with foil followed by a screw-on lid. Then, samples will be containerized
from remaining soils for each depth interval for other potential soil analyses, and immediately
placed on ice. After at least 30 minutes, soil headspace readings will be obtained by removing
the sample caps from each jar and inserting a PID or equivalent through the foil to measure the
organic vapor concentration in the headspace. All soil headspace readings,will be recorded.
Based on field observations (e.g., visual and/or olfactory evidence of contamination) and jar
L2004-123

headspace screening results, TRC will select the specified number of soil sample(s) from each
boring and/or monitoring well to be submitted to an off-site laboratory for analysis.
One soil sample from each boring will be selected for submittal to a Massachusetts-certified
laboratory for analysis of VPH, EPH, and metals. In each boring, one sample may also be
selected based on field observations and headspace readings and submitted for VOC analysis.
The soil sample collected in the boring located downgradient from the former vehicle
maintenance area (north of the site building) will also be submitted for PCB analysis.
Ground water samples will be collected from each of the three monitoring wells and submitted to
a Massachusetts-certified laboratory for VPH, EPH and metals analyses.
Ground Water Elevation Survey and SPH Measurements
Following the installation and development of the monitoring wells, the wells will be surveyed to
an arbitrary site datum, depth to ground water readings will be recorded, and wells will be
gauged for the presence of SPH. The survey information, in conjunction with the depth to ground
water readings, will be used to evaluate shallow ground water flow across the Site.
Phase II Report
A Phase II report will be prepared which will include a summary of the work conducted,site history,
and site testing results based on TRC's proposed work. Further information concerning the Phase H
report is provided in Section 16 (Appendix P).

5.0 APPENDIX E
5.1 Sampling Design
Field work will be performed in accordance with TRC's Standard Operating Procedures(SOPs),
which are attached to this document. TRC will enlist the services of a qualified drilling
subcontractor to advance soil borings and install ground water monitoring wells as set forth in
Appendix D, the Project Description. Each boring and/or well will be advanced using either the
hollow-stem auger technique or a GeoProbe. TRC will be responsible for the collection of soil
samples for field screening and laboratory analysis during boring and well placement activities.
GeoProbe sampling will be performed in accordance with the MADEP Standard References for
Monitoring Wells, Supplement for Small Diameter Driven Wells.
Soil samples will be collected continuously at two-foot intervals to a depth of ten feet. Below ten
feet, samples will be collected at a minimum of five-foot intervals. Samples will be screened
using a PID, or equivalent, and any odors or visual indication of contamination will be noted.
Equipment will be decontaminated between soil borings to reduce the possibility of cross-
contamination.
Based on jar headspace screening observations, one soil sample from each of the borings will be
selected for laboratory analysis. If no indications of possible contamination are observed, one
soil sample will be collected immediately above the ground water interface and submitted for
analysis. Soil samples from the borings will be submitted to a Massachusetts-certified laboratory
for analysis.
Ground water monitoring wells will be constructed of two-inch diameter Schedule 40 PVC. The
pipe sections will be threaded screw type, eliminating the need for solvent-based glue. Each well
will have a 10-foot, 10-slot (0.010-inch machine slotted) screen section placed so as to extend
above and below the upper surface of the water table. A sand pack will be placed around the
screen extending to a level approximately one foot above the top of the screen. A bentonite seal
approximately two feet thick will be placed above the sand pack in order to seal off the screened
portion of the well from the overlying strata. The remainder of the well annulus will be filled
with a cement/bentonite grout to ground surface. A locking steel protective cover will be
installed over the top of the wells and the cap will be flush with the ground surface for any wells
located in paved areas.
After installation, each well will be developed by removing at least three well volumes by
purging with a submersible or peristaltic pump. Headspace measurement of VOCs will be made
on purged ground water using the field screening equipment. If the headspace VOC reading
exceeds 10 parts per million(ppm), the purge water will be drummed or containerized until the
ground water sample test results are obtained to evaluate disposal options. If the headspace VOC
readings are less than 10 ppm, the water will be discharged onsite.

Monitoring wells will be allowed to stabilize for a period of at least seven days prior to sampling.
At this time the water level in the wells will be surveyed in an attempt to confirm the direction of
ground water flow at the sites.
Following the well installation and development process, TRC will collect ground water samples
from each monitoring well to determine whether Site use has impacted ground water conditions
at the Site. Samples will be obtained using low-flow sampling techniques. TRC will submit the
ground water samples to a laboratory for chemical analysis. Prior to ground water sample
collection, TRC will also measure water levels to assist in data interpretation. TRC will measure
well casing elevations and prepare a Site sketch with taped distance measurements for use in
drafting an approximated ground water contour plan.
All soil and ground water samples from the Site will be placed on ice, kept cool (4°C±2'Q and
will be delivered to an off-site laboratory following proper chain-of-custody procedures. A trip
blank and field duplicate samples will also be collected to provide quality assurance/quality
control data.
5.2 Equipment Decontamination Procedures
All major decontamination of downhole and excavation equipment will be conducted at a
designated decontamination area(s). When appropriate, drill rigs will be steam cleaned and
drilling equipment will be decontaminated prior to moving. Drilling equipment used for multiple
boreholes will be decontaminated by steam cleaning prior to beginning each boring. (Split-
spoons should be made of stainless steel, but carbon steel is acceptable if it is rust-free.)
Minor decontamination such as cleaning of sampling equipment will be performed at each
sampling site. Smaller sampling equipment such as split spoons, stainless steel or Teflon
spatulas and stainless steel mixing pans will be decontaminated using the following procedures:
• Wash and scrub with low-phosphate detergent in tap water;
• Rinse with deionized water;
• Rinse with nitric acid (10%nitric acid for stainless steel equipment and 1%nitric acid on
all other equipment);
• Rinse with pesticide-grade methanol;
• If oily, rinse with pesticide-grade hexane;
• Air dry- on clean polyethylene sheeting;
• Rinse with deionized water;
• Air dry- on clean polyethylene sheeting;
• Wrap in aluminum foil, shiny side out for transport; and
• Clean equipment may rest on-but never be wrapped in - clean polyethylene sheeting.
Soils (excess sample volume, auger cuttings, etc.)will be returned to their place of origin(either
placed inside of the boreholes or dispersed near the borehole location). The PID and visual
observations will be used to determine if residuals require further handling and disposal

(e.g., off-site disposal as RCRA wastes). Residuals screened for disposal as a hazardous material
will be properly disposed of by the City of Salem.

7.1 Preventative Maintenance—Field Equipment
Instruments and equipment used to gather, generate, or measure environmental data will be
calibrated with sufficient frequency and in such a manner that accuracy and reproducibility of
results are consistent with the manufacturer's specifications. The calibration and internal
standards shall meet all criteria specified in the referenced analytical method.
For all analyses for which EPA or DEP approved methods exist, the laboratory will employ such
methods and follow the calibration procedures and frequencies specified.
Calibration of field instruments and equipment will be performed as specified by the
manufacturer or more frequently as conditions dictate. The minimum calibration of field
instrumentation is once at the beginning of each day, and as necessary. Calibration standards
used as reference standards will be traceable to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology(MIST), when existent.
Records of calibration, repair, or replacement will be filed and maintained by the designated
laboratory personnel performing quality control activities. Calibration records of assigned
laboratories will be filed and maintained at the laboratory location where the work is performed
and subject to QA audit.

11.0 APPENDIX K
11.1 Sample Handling and Custody Requirements
The purpose of chain-of-custody procedures is to document the identity of the sample and its
handling from its first existence as a sample until analysis and data reduction are completed.
Custody records trace a sample from its collection through all transfers of custody until it is
transferred to the analytical laboratory. Internal laboratory records then document the custody of
the sample through its final disposition.
All materials such as field and laboratory notebooks and logbooks, field and laboratory data
records, correspondence, reports, chain-of-custody records and instrument printouts will be
clearly labeled with the project number and become a permanent part of the project file.
II.1.1 Field Sampling Operations
Preprinted sample identification labels will be used to ensure that the required information is
entered in the field. Each collected sample shall have a completely filled-in sample label
securely attached. In addition, the sample identification number will be marked on the container
with a permanent marker so that the sample can be properly identified even if the label is
separated from the sample.
Figure K-I shows the general sample label and custody seal that will be used to identify and seal
samples in the field. Figure K-2 shows a general use chain-of-custody record. This two-part
form will be used to document sample transfer in the field, from sampling personnel to the
analytical laboratory.
The Field Team Leader will coordinate the packing and shipment of all samples.
TRC intends to ship all samples via a courier service or an overnight delivery service within 24
hours of collection.
