As requested, I have taken sound readings at the property located at 155-189 Washington ,Streetland 26
New Derby Street. These readings were taken at approximately 10:30 AM today, May 22, 2009. To test
the decibel levels I used a Digital Sound Level Meter with a slow response, weighted A, and positioned
myself on the North East corner of the property (along Front Street). These readings did not indicate any
increase in sound levels during operation of the roof top equipment. All new equipment on the roof has
been screened visually, which also provides a significant sound barrier. As this property is located on a
busy intersection, there are significant ambient noise levels as well. Please feel free to contact me with
any questions.
Thank Ybu,

Amendment to Activity and Use Limitation Opinion
Commercial Property
155 Washington Street
Salem, MA
DEP RTN 3-10849
March 7, 2008
To Whom It May Concern:
In accordance with the Amendment of a Notice of Activity and Use Limitation (AUL), a new
AUL Opinion has been prepared to modify a previous opinion submitted to support an AUL
dated July 25, 2006 for the above -referenced location. At the time of the recording of this AUL,
the subject parcel and the surrounding -vicinity -are zoned for commercial (Central -Development)
uses. As illustrated by Exhibit B attached hereto, the property is under construction and contains
one building and building demolition/construction on the remaining portion.
ORIGINAL AUL
An AUL was submitted to the DEP dated March 8, 1995. The AUL indicated the permitted uses
of the Site were:
• Commercial or industrial building;
• Paved parking areas;
• Landscaped covers;
• Short term intrusive activities such as limited construction excavations or utility
maintenance work-,
• Any other activities and uses which effectively limit the use of the property by children
on a frequent basis or access to soils within three feet of the surface; and
• Such other activities or uses which in the Opinion of an LSP shall present no greater risk
of harm to health, safety, public welfare or the environment that the activities and uses set
forth in this paragraph.
The activities and uses inconsistent with the AUL Opinion included:
• Any residential use, including vegetable gardens;
• Any use where a child's frequency or intensity of use is considered high, such as a
playground or school, and
• Any use where an adult's frequency and intensity of use is considered high, and access to
soils within three feet of the surface is likely, such as digging or recreational sports on a
continuing basis.
The obligations and conditions set forth in the AUL Opinion indicated:
Maintenance or the impervious areas and/or landscaped areas, similar to existing
conditions, to limit access to underlying soil.
DEP AUL AUDIT
The DEP conducted an audit of the AUL in an AUL Summary Compliance Review dated April
12, 2002. The findings of the compliance review indicated
"The AUL does not adequately define what uses and activities are permitted at the Site,
what uses and activities are restricted, or what obligations and conditions must be
maintained at the Site. The obligations and conditions section requires pavement,
landscaping area and building foundation without specking these areas on a sketch or
survey plan. The location of areas or structures that are necessary to maintain a level of
No Significant Risk must be documented. To insure the maintenance of the pavement,
landscaping and building, the locations of the structures and areas must be clearly
located on a plan and referenced in the obligations section of the AUL. "
An AUL Amendment was prepared by the previous owner of the property, Van Ness
Development Corporation, dated August 1, 2006 and recorded with the registry of deeds to satisfy
the requirements of the audit. The 2006 amendment included a site plan illustrating the building,
pavements; and landscaping areas. - - — -
SITE HISTORY
The Site has been used as a commercial facility since the late 1800s. Occupants included shops,
Salem Evening News, including printing areas, paint shops, restaurants, office areas, and storage
sheds. The building along Washington Street (Building #1) was constructed in approximately
1874 (three story section) and in 1926 (two story section). The second building (#2) was
constructed in 1926 and an addition in 1978. Other shops, restaurants, and painting buildings
were present in the northeast and southeast property corners, and are now gone.
Aboveground storage tanks were present at the Site and included a 5,000 -gallon fuel oil AST,
2,500 -gallon "ink" AST, a fuel oil storage tank of unknown volume, and a 1,000 -gallon fuel oil
tank. The location of some of these tanks could not be confirmed through research.
CEA was provided information from the current owner of the Edgewater Caf6 that a past
employee of the Salem News indicated a chemical storage area was beneath the northern end of
Building #2. No other information was.available.
Assessment reports were reviewed for the Site, which included the following:
• A Site Assessment and Cleanup Recommendations Report dated November 26, 1986,
prepared by Hidell-Eyster Technical Services, Inc.;
• A Groundwater Analytical Report dated November 6, 1986, prepared by Certified
Engineering and Testing, Inc.;
• A RAM Plan for Release Tracking Number (RTN) 3-0903, dated September 1994,
prepared by Haley and Aldrich, Inc.;
• A RAM Completion Report and Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement dated
January 27, 1995 prepared by Haley and Aldrich, Inc.; and
• An RAO dated March 20, 1995, prepared by Haley and Aldrich, Inc.
1986 Assessment
A Site Assessment and Cleanup Recommendations Report dated November 26, 1986 was
prepared for the Site. The report indicated a loss of fuel oil from an aboveground storage tank
(AST) located inside a vault (Building #2) during the summer of 1986. Product was noted directly
beneath the tank during assessment, but not in soil or groundwater directly adjacent to the AST.
Borings (B-2 through B-8) advanced around the AST and completed as groundwater monitoring
wells indicated contamination in groundwater from well B-4 (total petroleum hydrocarbons by
418.1) at a concentration of 2.8 mg/1.
A groundwater analytical report dated November 6, 1986 was reviewed for a groundwater sample
collected from well B-8. The report indicated the absence (above 1 mg/1) of TPH.
Release Abatement Measure (RAM) Plan
A RAM Plan for Release Tracking Number (RTN) 3-0903, dated September 1994 was submitted
to the DEP to remove the AST located beneath Building #2 and excavate impacted soil from
beneath and around the tank. The RAM Plan indicated the following:
• A subsurface assessment was completed in June 1994. The assessment indicated TPH
was detected in groundwater collected from wells B-2, B4, B-5, and B-8 above
background concentrations, but below 1994 applicable DEP reportable limits.
• In August 1994, two additional borings were advanced (B201 and B202) to evaluate soil
quality beneath the AST and a "blackened contaminated soil' near B-2. Soil from
beneath the AST was found to be contaminated with "diesel fuel' at concentrations of
1,500 ppm and 6,900 ppm. The sample from B201 did not contain hydrocarbons above
laboratory detection limits.
• The RAM Plan proposed the removal of the AST and surrounding impacted soil.
RAM Completion Report and RAO Statement
A RAM Completion Report and Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement dated January 27,
1995 was reviewed for the Site. The RAM Completion Report indicated the following:
• In October 1994 a 5,000 -gallon fuel oil AST, located inside a concrete vault beneath
Building #2 was removed;
• Approximately 18 cubic yards of contaminated soil was excavated to a depth of
approximately five feet below the AST;
• Five soil samples (CS001 through CS005) were analyzed for TPH; and
• TPH concentrations ranged between non -detect levels and 59 mg/kg.
An RAO included in the above submittal for RTN 3-0903, indicated the following:
• A Method 2 Risk Characterization (M2RC) was conducted which indicated compounds
of concern pose "No Significant Risk of harm to human health, public welfare, safety,
and the environment; and
• Based on the information provided, the Site meets the requirements of a Class A-2 RAO.
Response Action Outcome Statement
An RAO dated March 20, 1995 was prepared for the Site for RTN 3-10849. The RAO was
submitted as a result of lead detected in soil around Building #2 above DEP reportable levels. The
original Release Notification Form (RNF) was not found during review of available information.
The lead was detected in soil excavated during removal of a vaulted fuel oil AST from the Site.
The RAO indicated the following:
• Six soil samples (B95-1 through B95-6) were analyzed for total lead. The results
indicated lead was present between 4 mg/kg and 1,730 mg/kg;
• Groundwater samples collected from B-2 through B-5, and B-8 indicated dissolved lead
was not detected above the laboratory method detection limit;
• The disposal site boundaries were identified as the property boundaries because there was
no single source of lead, which was thought to be related to the artificial fill;
• Based on the above information, a risk characterization indicated a risk exists from the
lead in soil only if the Site is used as a residence; and
• An Activity and Use Limitation (AUL) was prepared and submitted for the Site to limit
the use of the Site as a residence.
REASON FOR ACTIVITY AND USE LIMITATION
Lead testing was conducted on soil samples collected from the Site, which indicated
concentrations ranged between 4 mg/kg and 1,730 mg/kg, and at depths ranging between 1 foot
and 17 feet bgs. The exact source of the lead was not confirmed during previous assessment
activities, but was thought to be a characteristic of an artificial fill. This fill was observed during
previous assessment activities at depths ranging between 7.5 and 15 feet bgs. The fill is
characteristic of the down town Salem area and is comprised of foreign debris.
The AUL is necessarybecause the lead concentrations exceed applicable MCP Method 1 Risk
Characterization (M1RC) S-I/GW-2 and GW -3 standards. Groundwater was found to be absent
of dissolved lead above laboratory method detection limits. Based on the above, a level of No
Significant Risk is not supported for future unrestricted activities and uses of the property. In
order to maintain a level of No Significant Risk for future site activities and uses, an AUL is
necessary to ensure that the soil material remains inaccessible and the exposure pathways
incomplete. Activities which may result in the disturbance of the soil must also be restricted in
order to prevent exposures, which may pose a Significant Risk to sensitive receptors.
PERMITTED USES AND ACTIVITIES
(i) Activities and uses including, but not limited to, vehicular parking, pedestrian and
vehicular traffic, which do not result in the disturbance of soil beneath the pavement
and/or below ground in unpaved areas; Continuous asphalt pavement, concrete, or
landscaped areas with at least a three foot layer of "clean soil' is necessary for the

NOTICE OF RESPONSIBILITY PER M.G.L. c.21E & 310 CMR 40.0000, the MCP
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT NOTICE. FAILURE TO TAKE ADEQUATE ACTION IN RESPONSE TO
THIS NOTICE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
Dear Mr. Steinbergh:
Information contained in a Release Notification Form (RNF) submitted to the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) on November 19, 2007
and submitted by Washington at Derby LLC indicates that there is or has been a release of oil
and/or hazardous material at the above -referenced property which exceeds a "120 day" reporting
threshold (310 CMR 40.0315) and which requires one or more response actions.
Based on this information, MassDEP has reason to believe that the subject property or
portion(s) thereof is a disposal site as defined in the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material
Release Prevention and Response Act, M.G.L. c. 21 E, and the Massachusetts Contingency Plan,
310 CMR 40.0000 (the MCP). M.G.L. c. 21E and the MCP govern the assessment and cleanup of
disposal sites.
The purpose of this notice is to inform you of your legal responsibilities under state law for
assessing and/or remediating the subject release. For purposes of this notice, the terms and
phrases used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them by the MCP unless the text clearly
indicates otherwise.
This information is available in alternate format. Call Donald M. Gomes, ADA Coordinator at 617-556-1057. TDD Service- 1-800-298-2207.

STATUTORY LIABILITIES
MassDEP has reason to believe that you (as used in this letter, "you" refers to Washington
at Derby LLC) are a Potentially Responsible Party (a PRP) with liability under M.G.L. c. 21 E, § 5,
for response action costs. Section 5 makes the following parties liable to the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts: current owners or operators of a site from or at which there is or has been a
release/threat of release of oil or hazardous material; any person who owned or operated a site at
the time hazardous material was stored or disposed of; any person who arranged for the transport,
disposal, storage or treatment of hazardous material to or at a site; any person who transported
hazardous material to a transport, disposal, storage or treatment site from which there is or has
been a release/threat of release of such material; and any person who otherwise caused or is
legally responsible for a release/threat of release of oil or hazardous material at a site.
This liability is "strict", meaning it is not based on fault, but solely on your status as an owner,
operator, generator, transporter or disposer. It is also joint and several, meaning that you may be
liable for all response action costs incurred at the site, regardless of the existence of any other
liable parties.
The MCP requires responsible parties to take necessary response actions at properties
where there is or has been a release or threat of release of oil and/or hazardous material. If you do
not take the necessary response actions, or fail to perform them in an appropriate and timely
manner, MassDEP is authorized by M.G.L. c. 21E to have the work performed by its contractors.
By taking such actions, you can avoid liability for response action costs incurred by MassDEP and
its contractors in performing these actions, and sanctions, which may be imposed for failure to
perform response actions under the MCP.
You may be liable for up to three (3) times all response action costs incurred by MassDEP.
Response action costs include, without limitation, the cost of direct hours spent by MassDEP
employees arranging for response actions or overseeing work performed by persons other than
MassDEP or its contractors, expenses incurred by MassDEP in support of those direct hours, and
payments to MassDEP's contractors. (For more detail on cost liability, see 310 CMR 40.1200.)
MassDEP may also assess interest on costs incurred at the rate of twelve percent (12%),
compounded annually. To secure payment of this debt, the Commonwealth may place liens on all
of your property in the Commonwealth. To recover the debt, the Commonwealth may foreclose on
these liens or the Attorney General may bring legal action against you.
In addition to your liability for up to three (3) times all response action costs incurred by
MassDEP, you may also be liable to the Commonwealth for damages to natural resources caused
by the release. Civil and criminal liability may also be imposed under M.G.L. c. 21 E, § 11, and civil
administrative penalties may be imposed under M.G.L. c. 21A, § 16 for each violation of M.G.L. c.
21 E, the MCP, or any order, permit or approval issued thereunder.
NECESSARY RESPONSE ACTIONS
The subject site shall not be deemed to have all the necessary and required response
actions taken unless and until all substantial hazards presented by the site have been eliminated
and a level of No Significant Risk exists or has been achieved in compliance with M.G.L. c. 21 E
and the MCP. In addition, the MCP requires persons undertaking response actions at disposal
Washington at Derby LLC
Page -3-
sites to perform Immediate Response Actions (IRAs) in response to "sudden releases", Imminent
Hazards and Substantial Release Migration. Such persons must continue to evaluate the need for
IRAs and notify MassDEP immediately if such a need exists.
MassDEP has determined that initial site investigation activities, in accordance with 310
CMR 40.0405, are necessary. In addition, unless an RAO is submitted earlier, a completed Tier
Classification Submittal pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0510, and, if appropriate, a completed Tier I
Permit Application pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0700, must be submitted to MassDEP within one
year of the initial date notice of a release is provided to MassDEP pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0300
or from the date MassDEP issues a Notice of Responsibility (NOR), whichever occurs earlier.
It is important to note that you must dispose of any Remediation Waste generated at the
subject location in accordance with 310 CMR 40.0030 including, without limitation, contaminated
soil and/or debris. Any Bill of Lading accompanying such waste must bear the seal and signature
of an LSP or, if the response action is performed under the direct supervision of MassDEP, the
signature of an authorized representative of MassDEP.
MassDEP encourages parties with liabilities under M.G.L. c. 21 E to take prompt action in
response to releases and threats of release of oil and/or hazardous material. By taking prompt
action, you may significantly lower your assessment and cleanup costs and avoid the imposition of,
or reduce the amount of, certain permit and annual compliance fees for response actions payable
under 310 CMR 4.00.
If you have any questions relative to this notice, you should contact Joanne Fagan at the
letterhead address or (978) 694-3390. All future communications regarding this release must
reference the Release Tracking Number (RTN) 3-27269 contained in the subject block of this
letter.

In accordance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) 310 CMR 40.1403, Coler & Colantonio,
Inc. (C&C) is notifying you, as the Chair of the Board of Health, that a notice of an Activity and Use
Limitation (AUL) has been implemented on a portion of the above -referenced properties. The AUL was
recorded in Book 25944, Page 417 at the South Essex County Registry of Deeds on August 1, 2006.
Residual contaminant concentrations in soil and groundwater have not been reduced to below regulatory
standards. Since analytical results are not below applicable standards, an AUL is necessary to maintain
a level of No Significant Risk.
A copy of the Activity and Use Limitation will be submitted to the Department of Environmental
Protection in NERO DEP Boston, Massachusetts by August 4, 2006. Additionally, a legal
advertisement indicating the implementation of the AUL will be published in the August 5, 2006 edition
of the Salem News. The forms will be available for public review at the DEP after that time. A copy of
the forms can be provided to the your office or other interested parties upon request to Coler &

NOTICE OF AUDIT FINDINGS
FILE REVIEW AUDIT
AUL AUDIT INSPECTION
NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (the Department or MassDEP) has
conducted an audit of an Activity and Use Limitation (AUL) filed for the subject site. The audit
consisted of a file review and an AUL Audit Inspection. The purpose of the audit was to
determine if corrective actions previously required by the MassDEP in an April 12, 2002 letter
had been taken and to inspect the area subject to the AUL. This notice informs you of the results
of the MassDEP's audit.
AUL AUDIT INSPECTION
On March 9, 2006, the MassDEP inspected the AUL area. The inspection focused on whether
site activities and uses were consistent with the terms and conditions of the AUL and whether
obligations and conditions required to maintain a condition of No Significant Risk were being
met. Based upon the inspection, the MassDEP has determined that no violations of the
requirements applicable to the AUL at the site have been identified. A copy of the MassDEP's
AUL Field Screening Form is attached.
FILE REVIEW AUDIT
The MassDEP reviewed information within MassDEP files to determine if the Interim Deadline
established in the April 12, 2002 letter had been met. Based upon a review of the file, the
MassDEP has determined that the Interim Deadline has not been met.
This information is available in alternate format. Call Aprel McCabe, ADA Coordinator at 1-617-556-1171.

of Noncompliance and correcting the AUL violation identified.
LIMITATIONS & RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
The MassDEP's findings were based upon the accuracy and certainty of the information
reviewed during the audit. These findings do not: (1) preclude future audits of past, current, or
future actions at the site; (2) apply to actions or other aspects of the site that were not reviewed in
the audit; (3) in any way constitute a release from any liability, obligation, action or penalty
under M.G.L. c. 21E, 310 CMR 40.0000, or any other laws, regulations, or requirements; or (4)
limit the MassDEP's authority to take or arrange or to require any Responsible Party or

LOCATION WHERE NONCOMPLIANCE OCCURRED OR WAS OBSERVED
155 Washington Street, Salem, Massachusetts
DATE WHEN NONCOMPLIANCE OCCURRED OR WAS OBSERVED
On or about October 12, 2002, the Interim Deadline established by the MassDEP in an RAO
Screening Review letter dated April 12, 2002.
DESCRIPTION OF NONCOMPLIANCE
Violation of 310 CMR 40.0167(1)
Pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0167(1), "The Department may establish and enforce reasonable
Interim Deadlines consistent with M.G.L. c. 21E and 310 CMR 40.0000 for the performance of
response actions, and the furnishing of information and provision of access to documents and
other information to DEP, including, but not limited to, deadlines for compliance with Requests
for Information, applicable orders, permits and other requirements."
MassDEP's April 12, 2002 AUL summary compliance letter identified the following error in the
AUL that required correction.
The AUL does not adequately define what uses and activities are permitted at the site,
what uses and activities are restricted, or what obligations and conditions must be
maintained at the site. The obligations and conditions section requires pavement,
landscaped areas and building foundation without identifying these areas on a sketch or
survey plan. The location of areas or structures that are necessary to maintain a level of
No Significant Risk must be documented. To ensure the maintenance of the pavement,
landscaping and building, the locations of the structures and areas must be clearly located
on a plan.
In correspondence dated April 12, 2002, the MassDEP established an Interim Deadline for the
submission of documentation confirming that an AUL error identified during an audit had been
corrected. No such documentation has been provided to the MassDEP to date.
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AND DEADLINE TAKING SUCH ACTIONS
Corrective actions are required regarding the violation cited above. To correct the violation,
within 90 days of the date of this notice, you must terminate the existing Notice of Activity and
RTN 3-10849
155 Washington Street, Salem
Use Limitation and implement a new one using DEP form 1084C. A revised sketch plan may be
attached to the new Notice of Activity and Use Limitation. Copies of the forms and instructions
are available online at http://W-\7,-W.mass.(,YOV/dep/eleiiiup/permitsa.htm.
Alternatively, you may terminate the AUL and submit a new RAO Statement documenting the
achievement of a Class A-1, A-2, or B-1 RAO at the site (i.e. an RAO that does not rely on an
AUL to maintain a level of No Significant Risk).
If you fail to correct the violation identified and provide documentation of such action to the
MassDEP, you may be subject to enforcement action by the MassDEP. The MassDEP may
conduct a follow-up audit to determine whether the required actions have been taken. If the
MassDEP finds that the violation has not been corrected, then the MassDEP may issue a Notice
of Intent to Assess a Civil Administrative Penalty (PAN), administrative enforcement order,
Notice of Responsibility (NOR), Notice of Intent to take response Action (NORA),
Administrative Consent Order, Unilateral Order, or seek a Judicial Judgment, as appropriate.
You may also be subject to cost recovery under 310 CMR 40.1200 for failure to perform
response actions at the disposal site.

RAO SCREENING REVIEW
AUL SUMMARY COMPLIANCE REVIEW
BOB DURAND
Secretary
LAUREN A. LISS
Commissioner
On March 15, 1995, the Department of Environmental Protection (the Department) received a
Class B -2 -Response Action Outcome (RAO) Statement and Activity and Use Limitation (AUL)
for the above -referenced site. On August 5, 1998, the Legislature enacted the `Brownfields Act"
which called on the Department to conduct a targeted audit of all sites at which AULs have been
implemented in order to ensure that these actions are meeting the requirements of Massachusetts'
laws and regulations, including Massachusetts General Law chapter 2 1 E and the Massachusetts
Contingency Plan (MCP). The Department's audit of this site consisted of an RAO Screening
Review and an AUL Summary Compliance Review.
RESPONSE ACTION OUTCOME (RAO) SCREENING REVIEW
A screening review of the RAO was performed using a standard Department checklist.
Examples of the Department's checklists are available on the Internet at
hLtp://www.state.ma.us/depAbwsc/audits.htm. The Department is not directing you to undertake
further response actions at this time. Please note, however, that the review conducted by the
Department was not a comprehensive audit, and the Department reserves the right to conduct a
comprehensive audit of the RAO at any time in the future. It is possible that a future audit, if one
occurs, may identify deficiencies and/or violations of applicable laws and regulations, and may
require you to undertake further response actions at the site.

AUL SUMMARY COMPLIANCE REVIEW
Chapter 206 of the Acts of 1998 (The Brownfields Act) requires that the Department conduct an
audit of all sites with AULs. In carrying out this mandate, the Department has established
special procedures for reviewing AULs recorded on or before October 29, 1999, including the
AUL submitted as part of the RAO for your site. Please note that these procedures do not apply
to AULs recorded on or after October 30, 1999, and this Summary of AUL Compliance Review
should not be relied upon to predict audit results for such AULs.
Applying the procedures described above, the Department has identified an error in the AUL that
requires correction. Specifically:
1. The AUL does not adequately define what uses and activities are permitted at the site,
what uses and activities are restricted, or what obligations and conditions must be
maintained at the site. The obligations and conditions section requires pavement,
landscaped areas and building foundation without identifying these areas on a sketch or
survey plan. The location of areas or structures that are necessary to maintain a level of
No Significant Risk must be documented. To ensure the maintenance of the pavement,
landscaping and building, the locations of the structures and areas must be clearly located
on a plan and referenced in the obligations section of the AUL.
To correct this error an Amendment and Ratification of Notice of Activity and Use Limitation
must be implemented within 180 days of the date of this Notice, using the enclosed form and
instructions. Please note that the AUL Opinion must be prepared and attached to the
Amendment and Ratification Form using Form 1145. In addition, a legal notice regarding the
original AUL and the AUL Amendment must be published in the local newspaper and a copy of
the notice must be submitted to the Department. Alternatively, you may submit a new RAO
Statement within 180 days of the date of this Notice, documenting the achievement of a Class A-
1, A-2, or B-1 RAO at the site (i.e. an RAO that does not rely on an AUL to maintain a level of
No Significant Risk). This is an enforceable interim Deadline issued pursuant to M.G.L. c.21E,
310 CMR 40.0167 and 310 CMR 40.1140. If you do not meet this deadline you will be subject
to enforcement action by the Department.
The Department has prepared forms and detailed instructions for implementing the required
AUL corrections. Copies of the forms and instructions are attached, and are available on the
Department's AUL Audit Project web page, hU://www.state.ma.us./dep/bwsc/files/audits/
aulfix.htm. This web page will be updated periodically to address any commonly asked
questions that arise as a result of AUL audits.
The Department is also offering several training workshops in the next few months. The
Department recommends that you (and/or the Licensed Site Professional (LSP)/attorney
preparing your AUL corrections) attend one of these workshops if you have questions on how to
proceed. The training schedule is also available on the Department's AUL Audit Project web
page. To obtain a schedule and/or register for the workshops, contact Thomas Potter, DEP's
Statewide Audit Coordinator at (617) 292-5628.
Salem, RTN 3-10849
POST AUDIT COMPLETION STATEMENT REQUIRED
When the AUL Errors are corrected, you should submit to the Department (attention: BWSC
Audit Section) a Post -Audit Completion Statement in accordance with 310 CMR 40.1170, a
copy of which is attached.
LICENSED SITE PROFESSIONAL
A copy of this letter has been sent to Wesley Stimpson, LSP #2332, the LSP -of -Record for the
Disposal site.
LIMITATIONS & RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
Please note that the screening review conducted by the Department on the RAO was not a
comprehensive audit, and the Department reserves the right to conduct a comprehensive audit of
the RAO at any time in the future. It is possible that a future comprehensive audit, if one occurs,
may identify deficiencies and/or violations of applicable laws and regulations, may require you
to undertake further response actions at the site, and may invalidate the AUL. The screening
review is not a representation by the Department that the RAO complies with M.G.L. c. 21 E, 310
CMR 40.0000, or any other laws, regulations, or requirements.
The Department's findings were based upon the accuracy and certainty of the information
reviewed during the audit. These findings do not: (1) preclude future audits of past, current, or
future actions at the site; (2) apply to actions or other aspects of the site that were not reviewed in
the audit; (3) in any way constitute a release from any liability, obligation, action or penalty under
WG.L. c. 211, 310 CMR 40.0000, or any other laws, regulations, or requirements. The
Department retains authority to take or arrange, or to require any Responsible Party or Potentially
Responsible Party to perform any response action authorized by M.G.L. c. 21E, which the
Department deems necessary to protect health, safety, public welfare, or the environment.

ACTIVITY AND USE LIMITATION OPINION
Salem Evening News
155 W41hington Street
Salem, -Massachusetts
RTN 3-10849
In accordance with 310 CMR 40.1056(2)(8) and 40.1074, this document constitutes an Activity and
Use Limitation Opinion (AUL Opinion) for the Salem Evening News Property at 155 Washington
Street, Salem, Massachusetts, DEP Release Tracking No (RTN) 3-10849. This AUL Opinion is
submitted in support of a Class B-2 Response Action Outcome Statement (RAO), dated 8 March 1995
and associated DEP Form 1075, "Notice of Activity and Use Limitation", dated 8 March 1995 for the
lead in the fill and natural soils at the site.
Section 40.1074 of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) regdires an Activity and Use
Limitation Opinion to provide:
0 Reasons that a Notice of Activity and Use Limitation is appropriate to achieve or maintain a
level of No Significant Risk;
0 Site activities and uses to be prohibited and/or limited;
0 Site activities and uses to be permitted; and
0 Obligations and conditions necessary to maintain a level of No Significant Risk.
These requirements are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Disposal Site Description
Lead was detected within the fill and natural soils at the 155 Washington Street property, in Salem,..,
Massachusetts. No release of lead to the environment has been identified that may be the source of the
lead detected in the fill and natural soils.- The Activity and Use Limitation pertains to entire property
as described in Exhibit A.
Basis of Activity and Use Limitation
Elevated concentrations of lead were detected in the fill and natural soils across the site. Because of
the distribution across the site, the lead is believed to have been present in miscellanous materials
contained in the fill when deposited and not a result of releases from the site.
Haley & Aldrich, Inc. conducted a Method 1 Risk Characterization for the lead at the site in
accordance with the requirements set forth in 310 CMR 40.0970 (1) of'the revised Massachusetts
Contingency Plan (MCP).
The site is currently used as the publishing offices of the Salem Evening News, a newspaper. Future
plans for the site remain the same. Based on the available soil and groundwater data, the levels of
Activity and Use Limitation Opinion
RTN 3-10849
Page 2
lead present in groundwater and soil at the site and in the surficial soil are lower than the applicable
Method -4 standards for groundwater and soil, respectively, and are not considered to present a
"Significant Risk" of harm to human health, public welfare, and the environment, under both current
and future foreseeable site uses and activities. However, exposure point concentrations for lead in fill
material and natural soil exceed the Method 1 S-1/GW-2 and S-1/GW-3 soil standards. Therefore, if
the site use changes to residential use, or other use with an S-1 standard, a condition of "Significant
Risk" of harm to human health, public welfare, and the environment exists. This Activity and Use
Limitation has been developed to control potential future exposure scenarios to provide a condition of
"No Significant Risk".
Prohibited Uses
Exposure point concentrations for lead in fill material and natural sdil exceed the Method 1 S-1/GW-2
and S-1/GW-3 soil standards. Therefore, uses which fall into category S-1 such as residential use,
vegetable gardens, areas where a child's frequency or intensity of use is considered high (playground
or school), or where an adults frequency and intensity of use is considered high (digging or recreations
sports on a continuing basis) is prohibited without further consideration of risk.
Permitted Uses
Use of the site in its current or similar state (parking and landscaped areas, and a commercial or
industrial building) will be permitted. Short term intrusive activities such as limited construction
excavations or utility maintenance work will also be permitted.
Obligations
The focus of future obligations to maintain a level of No Significant Risk should be directed toward
maintaining the site with landscape treatments, pavement or a building. Obligation and conditions
necessary to maintain a level of no significant risk include the following:
o Maintenance of building, paved areas, and/or landscaped areas to limit access to underlying
soils; and
o Management of any excavated soils in accordance with applicable DEP and/or EPA policies.

NOTICE OF RESPONSIBILITY;
M.G.L. c. 21E & 310 CMR
40.0000
Attn: -Mr. Kenneth Newbegin
Dear Mr. Newbegin: Y `'
Information contained _in a Release Notification Form (RNF)
submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection (the
Department or DEP) on February 22, 1995 and submitted by Salem
Evening News indicates that there is or has been a release of oil
and/or hazardous material at the above -referenced property which
exceeds a 11120 day" reporting threshold (310 0842 40.0315) and which
reouires one or more response action.
Based on this information, the Department has reason to
believe that the subject property or portion(s) thereof is a
disposal site as defined in the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous
Material Release Prevention and Response Act, M.G.L. c. 21E, and
the Massachusetts Contingency Plan, 310 CMR 40.0000 (the MCP). The
assessment and cleanup of disposal sites is governed by M.G.L. c.
21E and the MCP.
The purpose of this notice is to inform you of your legal

STATUTORY LIABILITIES
The Department has reason to believe that you (as used in this
letter, "you" refers to Salem Evening News are a Potentially
Responsible Party (a PRP) with liability under M.G.L. c. 21E, $ 5,
for response action costs. Section 5 makes the following parties
liable to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: current owners or
operators of a site from or at which there is or has been a
release/threat of release of oil or hazardous material; any person
who owned or operated a site at the time hazardous material was
stored or disposed of; any person who arranged for the transport,
disposal, storage or treatment of hazardous material to or at a
site; any person who transported hazardous material to a transport,
disposal, storage or treatment site from which there is or has been
a release/threat of release of such material; and any person who
otherwise caused or is legally responsible for a release/threat of
release of oil or hazardous material at a site.
This liability is "strict", meaning it is not based on fault,
but solely on your status as an owner, operator, generator,
transporter or disposer. It is also joint and several, meaning
that you may be liable for all response action costs incurred at
the site, regardless of the existence of any other liable parties.
The MCP requires responsible parties to take necessary
response actions at properties where there is or has been a release
or threat of release of oil and/or hazardous material. If you do
not take the necessary response actions, or fail to perform them in
an appropriate and timely manner, the Department is authorized by
M.G.L. c. 21E to have the work performed by its contractors. By
taking such actions, you can avoid liability for response action
costs incurred by the Department and its contractors in performing
these actions, and any sanctions which may be imposed for failure
to perform response actions under the MCP.
You may be liable for up to three (3) times all response
action costs incurred by the Department. Response action costs
include, without limitation, the cost of direct hours spent by
Department employees arranging for response actions or overseeing
work performed by persons other than the Department or their
contractors, expenses incurred by the Department in support of
those direct hours, and payments to the Department's contractors.
(For more detail on cost liability, see 310 CMR 40.1200.)
Salem Evening News
Page 3
The Department may also assess interest on costs incurred at
the rate of twelve percent (12%), compounded annually. To secure
payment of this debt, the Commonwealth may place liens on all of
your property in the Commonwealth. To recover the debt, the
Commonwealth may foreclose on these liens or the Attorney General
may bring legal action against you.
In addition to your liability for up to three (3) times all
response action costs incurred by the Department, you may also be
liable to the Commonwealth for damages to natural resources caused
by the release. Civil and criminal liability may also be imposed
under M.G.L. c. 21E, S 11, and civil administrative penalties may
be imposed under M.G.L. c. 21A, § 16 for each violation of M.G.L.
c. 21E, the MCP, or any order, permit or approval issued
thereunder.
NECESSARY RESPONSE ACTIONS
The subject site shall not be deemed to have had all the
necessary and required response actions taken unless and until all
substantial hazards presented by the site have been eliminated and
a level of No Significant Risk exists or has been achieved in
compliance with M.G.L. c. 21E and the MCP. In addition, the MCP
requires persons undertaking response actions at disposal sites to
perform Immediate Response Actions (IRAs) in response to "sudden
releases", Imminent Hazards and Substantial Release Migration. Such
persons must continue to evaluate the need for IRAs and notify the
Department immediately if such a need exists.
The Department has determined that the following response
actions are necessary at the subject site:
A Phase I assessment pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0480 is necessary.
In addition, unless an RAO is submitted earlier, a completed
Tier Classification Submittal pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0510,
and, if appropriate, a completed Tier I Permit Application
pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0700, must be submitted to DEP within
one year of the initial date notice of a release is provided
to the Department pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0300 or from the date
the Department issues a Notice of Responsibility (NOR),
whichever occurs earlier.
It is important to note that you must dispose of any
Remediation Waste generated at the subject location in accordance
with 310 CMR 40.0030 including, without limitation, contaminated
soil and/or debris. Any Bill of Lading accompanying such waste
must bear the seal and signature of an LSP or, if.the response
Salem Evening News
Page 4
action is performed under the direct supervision of the Department,
the signature of an authorized representative of the Department.
The Department encourages parties with liabilities under
M.G.L. c. 21E to take prompt action in response to releases and
threats of release of oil and/or hazardous material. By taking
prompt action, you may significantly lower your assessment and
cleanup costs and avoid the imposition of, or reduce the amount of,
certain permit and annual compliance fees for response actions
payable under 310 CMR 4.00.
If you have any questions relative to this notice, you should
contact Lilla Dick at the letterhead address or (617) 932-7600. All
future communications regarding this release must reference the
Release Tracking Number (RTN #3-10849) contained in the subject

DEP Case No. 3-3642
MGL Chapter 21E/310 CMR 40
Dear Sir/Madam-
The
ir/Madam The Site Management Branch is in receipt of written
correspondence and/or engineering. .report(s) concerning
environmental conditions at the above referenced location. This
letter is being forwarded to your attention to acknowledge receipt
of such, notification,. and.,to (1) communicate to your the
Department's preliminary detrminations- regarding conditions at
this location, (2).notify--you of the liability provisions of
Massachusetts; General aw Chapter 21E, (3) informyouof the status
of,the Department's review of this case, and (4) provide you with
guidance and ,recommendations on what future actions should occur
regarding this matter.
Preliminary Determinations
Based upon a preliminary review of submitted and available
information regarding this location,.the Department has made the
following preliminary determination:
it is not clear whether a release of oil or hazardous
materials has been documented at this locale at a level that
would warrant further investigatory or remedial cleanup
action, pursuant to the provisions of MGL c. 21E or 310 CMR
40.00, the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP). A more
detailed review of available information, and possibly a site
inspection by a DEP engineer or scientist, would be needed in
order to make a final determination in this matter.
10 Commerce Way • Woburn, Massachusetts 01801 • FAX (617) 935-6393 9 Telephone (617) 935-2160
Status of Department Review and Case oversight..,
Based "upon. a preliminary .review of information and data
currently in, our. possession, :conditions at this location do not
appear to present an immediate threat to public health, safety, or
the environment.` on a relative basis, there are a 1prge number of
other cases which appear to be of much greater or more immediate
concern. Consequently, because,of staffing limitations and the
existence of.a large backlog of cases, further review by'the Site
-.Management-Branch isnot likely -to occur for an extended period of
'time:. ,
Statutory Provisions and Liabilities
Under -.the provisions of MGL c.-21Eand the MCP,;a series of
investigatory, and/ori remedial 'measures may be necessary. at;4this
location. In such cases, persons and entities statutorily defined
as "Potentially Responsible Parties" (PRPs) are liable for all
needed actions (c. 21E, s. 5). This liability is strict, meaning
it -is not based on fault but solely;onone's�status as an owner,
operator, generator, transporter, or other responsible party. It
is also joint and several, meaning individual PRPs may be liable
for all response actions conducted across an: entire site. You
should carefully evaluate these provisions and seek legal counsel,
if necessary, to determine the extent of your ,liability at this
location.
Despite the .fact that this site is backlogged, the Department
encourages PRPs and other private parties to take response actions
to assess and cleanup contamination.:;Under the provisions pf 310
CMR 40.536, however, any remedial site work beyond an initial
"Phase I" site characterization may not be accomplished without DEP
approval, except for "non-priority" sites that have been granted a
Waiver of Approvals under 310 CMR 40.537 to perform an "at -risk"
'remediation.
Recommendations for Future Actions
Because this case is backlogged, if further response actions
beyond a Phase I investigation are warranted, and the site appears
to be classifiable as a non-priority site under 310 CMR 401.544,
PRPs or other parties should consider applying for a Waiver.
The necessity of performing a short term remedial measure
should be continuously evaluated at any location where a release or
threat of release of oil or hazardous materials has been
documented. Such response actions require prior DEP approval.
2
If you believe that no further remedial response actions are
acquired at this location, you are advised to consider whether you
have' fulfi.11ed'.all requirements of the Massachusetts Contingency
Plan. Guidance and advice in this regard is attached.
I hope this letter was helpful in clarifying- the .Department Is
position in this matter. It is recognized that this is a difficult
time for both DEP and those private parties wishing to comply with
the requirements of MGL Chapter 21E. We regret not being able to
provide more staff oversight and guidance, but hope you can
understand our obligation to devote our limited staff resources to
those cases which present the greatest threat to public health and
.the environment.
A11, further communications regarding this matter must be
directed :in writing to 10 Commerce Way, Woburn, MA 01801,
attention "Site Management Branch", referencing the DEP Case Number
designated in the.subject heading.

Commissioner
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) administers the Wel( Driller Program established by
MGL C. 21G, §.14 & 20. It has come to our attention that drillers who are not currently certified with the Commonwealth are
applying for and receiving permits for well drilling by some Boards of Health. In an effort to ensure that all wells drilled in the
Commonwealth conform to the requirements set forth in the Well Driller Regulations (310 CMR 46.00), anyone engaged in the
business of well drilling in the Commonwealth must possess a valid well driller certification. To ensure that wells are drilled by
Massachusetts certified well drillers, we highly recommend that prior issuing well drilling permits, you require proof that a driller
possesses a valid certification. The certification status of any well driller can be verified by accessing the list of Certified Well
Drillers on MassDEP's website, http://www.mass.gov/dep/water/drinking/welldril.htm. Through the cooperative efforts of all
parties, we can assure that wells in Massachusetts are properly installed and our water resources are protected.
Please be aware that in addition to drilling, any deepening, decommissioning, hydrofracturing, repair or replacement of a well
must also be performed by a certified well driller. Massachusetts defines a well as "any hole or shaft constructed into the ground
for the purpose of injecting or extracting water and other fluids, or to monitor groundwater levels and water quality. Not included
are wells used on a temporary basis for the purpose of dewatering excavations, stabilizing hillsides or earth embankments,
sampling soil vapors, or sampling groundwater if the installation tool is left in the ground less than 48 hours."
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact the Well Driller Program Manager, Steve
Hallem by phone at 617.292.5681 or via email at stephen.hallem(cDstate.ma.us or the Technical Services/Source Protection
Program Manager, Paul Blain, by phone at 617.292.5948 or via email at paul.blain(a,state.ma.us. Thank you in advance for your
attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

RE: Clearance, 175-183 Lafayette Street, Salem, MA
On June 24, 2013, Patricia E. Riley, Massachusetts licensed asbestos abatement project
monitor AM60294, conducted a final visual inspection and collected clearance air
samples at the above address.
The samples were analyzed by Enviro-Safe Engineering, Somerville, MA, Massachusetts
licensed analytical laboratory AA000131. The samples were analyzed using NIOSH
Method 7400 for Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM). PCM is a qualitative method of
analysis that yields the relative fiber concentration in the air at the time the samples were
collected.
The samples in question are below 0.010 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc), the maximum
concentration allowed by the US environmental Protection Agency and the
Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS).
See enclosed results. If you have any questions or require additional information, please
feel free to contact me at (617) 623-6678.
