Partner has been conducting assessment activities for a 120-day release condition related to the detection
of trichloroethene (TCE) and pyrene in groundwater above the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP)
RCGW-2 reportable concentrations. The release is tracked under release tracking number (RTN) 3-35818.

Hazard (IH) condition for sensitive receptors. Partner verbally notified the MassDEP on February 6, 2020 of
the IH condition. MassDEP subsequently assigned RTN 3-36124 to the detected IH condition.
Site conditions as determined through this Phase I Investigation were evaluated against the Tier I
Inclusionary Criteria contained in 310 CMR 40.0520(2). Based on this evaluation the Site has been
