4. Monthly Reports-Updates
A. Public Health Nurse's *E. Rimpila has been trained on Massachusetts Virtual
Report Epidemiology Network(MAVEN)
*Flu clinic discussion. J. Greene asked where we stand
compared to other years of directly administering flu shots.
L. Ramdin stated that the numbers have gone down. The
State is only supplying vaccine to public health
departments for the under insured, uninsured and for
children under 19 years old. Due to the availability of the
flu shots at pharmacies there has been noticeably fewer
people coming to our flu clinics.
*Zika discussion. J. Greene suggested we look into having
a scripted response for callers with questions about
traveling.

B. Health Agent's Report *David Greenbaum, Sr. Sanitarian has submitted his
resignation effective 2/19/16. He has accepted the position
of Public Health Director for the town of Saugus.
*Roberta Cody, a part time inspector has submitted her
resignation effective 3/1/16.
* The Board participates in the Department interview
process.
*Constable service discussion. J. Greene asked for a
review of the orders from the constables. L. Ramdin
informed the Board that the state requires that when we
have court orders that those orders have to be served by a
' constable now. The department can no longer serve their
own orders due to a change by the Housing Authority. Dr.
Alam asked L. Ramdin to provide a summary of the orders
before the next Board meeting.

5. Protocols for evaluating The Health *Dr. Alam met with the office of the City
Agent- Continuation Solicitor, Human Resources, and the Mayor to
obtain input for the evaluation form and
process which the Board has been discussing.
*360* evaluation discussion—Due to the small
size of the department anonymity would not be
an option. This can be re-assessed in the
future.
*Dr. Alam discussed the possibility of using
Survey Monkey as a tool for the evaluation
process.
*Larry Ramdin expressed his concerns about
having his review in a public meeting and
would like to keep his review private if
possible.
Dr. Schiller Motioned to accept the evaluation form. P.
Kirby 2"d
Paul Kirby would like to further review the public records
issue with the evaluation per OML. He will contact the
City Solicitor on how to proceed with this. The topic of the
evaluation process in a public forum and public records
will be continued at the next meeting
P Kirby motioned to discuss this topic at the next
meeting. Dr. Schiller 2nd All in Favor. Motion Passed
6. Tobacco violation process to allow The Board discussed delegating authority to the Health
Health Agent to enforce Agent to issue the tobacco suspension dates for 2nd
suspensions for second violation offenses. L. Ramdin will meet with Victoria Caldwell,
Assistant City Solicitor to update the language in the
tobacco violation templates. Letters will be changed so
there is a more precise explanation of the appeal process.
J. Greene motioned per MGL Ch 111 that the Board
delegate to the Health Agent the authority to set the
dates of suspension for 2"d offenses, and that the Board
revise the details of the language the next time the

Mr. Ramdin,
We,the under signed are requesting an urgent meeting of the Board of Health since there was no
meeting this month.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the environmental and health hazards related to the
declaration of surplus property(a parking lot) by the City.This site(formerly Universal Steel)adjacent to
the Webb property which it wishes to buy through its LLC is grossly contaminated with PCBs,chromium,
cadmium,arsenic and lead. It was a Brownfields Superfund clean up site.
6,000 tons of contaminated soil was removed in 2012 under the supervision of the EPA, a barrier applied
and paved over.We believe opening this again would presents a serious health hazard to the
. community as 27,000people five-within a one-mile radius of the site per EPA report
This report strongly discouraged further development.The role of the Board of Health is to protect
people in this City from known carcinogens and toxic elements. I will remind you that most of us took an
oath to first do no harm.
It is our hope that the Board will-oppose opening this site again.Let it remain a parking lot which is safe
and generates revenue for the City.
Respectfully,

P (AEG) P P P Y
comments/questions provided in an email dated January 22, 2016,which was sent in
response to our original Request for Risk-Based Disposal Approval pursuant to 40 CFR
761.61.
Comments and Responses
EPA Comment#1: Given the PCB concentrations that are present at the site, the
proposed remedial plan EPA must consider the plan under the risk-based disposal option
at 40 CFR § 761.61(c). Generally,any such approval would be issued to the property
owner. However, EPA understands that the City currently owns the property. Please
clarify at what point, F.W. Webb will acquire the property.
AEG Reply ft F.W. Webb Company(F.W. Webb) intends to purchase the property.
Please issue approval to the pending property owner, F.W. Webb. The acquisition terms
are currently under negotiation.
EPA Comment#2: Is this Site still being used as a temporary parking lot for the MBTA
train station?
AEG Reply#2: No, the Site is currently a surplus parking lot.

Environmental

Memorandum January 2016
Former Universal Steel&TradingCCompanv Site Page 2
EPA Comment#3: Based on the information provided in the proposed remedial plan, it
appears that F.W. Webb is proposing to leave PCBs at the Site regardless of
concentration, unless the soils are required to be excavated for site development. If soils
are excavated, soils with PCB concentrations<10 ppm may be placed back on the Site
beneath the cap. Please confirm that EPA's understanding is correct. If so, please clarify
if the<10 ppm PCB soils would be placed outside the new building footprint only or if
the soils would also be placed beneath the new building footprint.
AEG Reply#3: EPA's understanding is correct. F.W. Webb will manage all soils
requiring removal as part of development,but does not plan to over-excavate soils based
on the results of the previous remedial excavation conducted by Weston&
Sampson. Soils exhibiting<10 ppm of PCBs are proposed for reuse on-site beneath the
engineered cap. The cap will consist of the building floor slab as well as asphalt or
concrete pavement outside of the building footprint. Restrictions regarding the reuse of
soils beneath versus outside of the building footprint(but under an engineered cap)was
not anticipated to be required.
EPA Comment#4: On page 9 of the October 2015 plan, it is stated"Soil suitable for
disposal off-site as non-TSCA waste= 10 to 50 mg/kg". This implies that PCB-
contaminated waste at the Site is not regulated under TSCA. However,waste at the Site
likely meets the definition of a PCB remediation waste as defined at 40 CFR § 761.3 and
thus is regulated under TSCA. EPA assumes that the intent actually was that PCB waste
with these concentrations would be disposed of at a state-permitted landfill rather than a
TSCA-permitted landfill. Please confirm.
AEG Reply#4: EPA is correct; the designation was intended to imply that these soils
would be disposed of at a state-permitted landfill facility.
EPA Comment#5: Page 7. There is reference to a geotechnical evaluation to confirm
the appropriate building foundation design measures. The schedule provided on page 10
of the remediation plan indicates that this work was to be completed'in November
2015. Was this evaluation conducted and if so,what was the result(s) and does it affect
the utilization of the stone pier system to support the building floor slab?
AEG Reply#5: The geotechnical soil borings have not been advanced. Commencement
of the drilling program is pending MassDEP written or presumptive approval of the,RAM
Plan, to be submitted prior to initiation of the work.
EPA Comment#6: Given that the Site is currently covered by asphalt,it is likely that
some asphalt would be removed during site development work. Please clarify how any
removed asphalt would be managed.
AEG Reply#6: Soils below the asphalt pavement were previously excavated to a
minimum depth of 1.5 feet below grade; the asphalt was installed above clean fill
material and is not expected to be impacted. The asphalt will be considered general solid
waste/construction debris unless otherwise instructed.

EPA Comment#7: Both the Release Abatement Measure("RAM") Plan dated October
2015 and the Soil&Groundwater Management Plan and Health and Safety Plan
S ("SGMP") dated October 2015 contain a Figure 2 that shows the remaining PCB
concentrations remaining at the Site.
a. Please confirm that the PCB concentrations indicated on this figure were
based on the data collected by EPA during the Removal Action conducted
between 2012 and 2013. If so,please be aware that the samples were
collected on approximately 25-foot grid intervals. Thus, additional in-situ
PCB samples may need to be collected to confirm PCB concentrations for
off-site disposal unless it is assumed that all such wastes contain PCBs at
greater than or equal to(">") 50 ppm.
AEG Reply#7a: Confirmed; the information is based on the January 2015 Weston&
Sampson report entitled Phase III Remedial Action Plan(RAP) and Permanent Solution
with Conditions Statement.
b. Given the information provided, EPA is unable to determine what soil
would require excavation for installation of utility corridors and where the
proposed stone columns would be installed. Is a figure available that
shows where these structures would be?
AEG Reply#7b: AEG is currently preparing this Site Figure which will be submitted to
EPA under separate cover.
EPA Comment#8: disposal Page 6 of the SGMP refers to of PCB concentration less
than 50 mg/kg as non-TSCA waste. Please see previous comment 4 regarding the term
"non-TSCA"and amend as necessary for clarity and compliance with 40 CFR Part 761.
AEG Reply#8: The designation was intended to imply that"non-TSCA" soils would be
disposed of at a state-permitted landfill facility. However, as indicated in the EPA
comment#4,waste at the Site likely meets the definition of a PCB remediation waste as
defined at 40 CFR § 761.3 and thus is in fact regulated under TSCA.
EPA Comment#9: Page 6 of the SGMP. 3rd paragraph. It is inferred that disposal of the
excavated soils will be based on the PCB concentration in each stockpile. Please be
aware that disposal requirements would be based on the as found (i.e., in situ) PCB
concentrations,not the stockpile concentrations,unless higher PCB concentrations were
identified in the stockpiles. Please also see previous Comment Ta. regarding Site PCB
concentrations. Please also be aware that for PCB-contaminated,wastes,the stockpiling
requirements at 40 CFR § 761.65(c)would apply.
AEG Reply#9: Agreed; soil disposal requirements will be based on maximum detected
PCB levels with a focus on the in situ concentrations. Stockpile samples may also be
analyzed to provide additional data and/or as requested by the selected disposal facility.

Memorandum January 2016
Former Universal Stec]&Trading Company Site Page 4
EPA Comment#10: Page 6 and Page 9 of the SGMP. Given the high water table at this
and as discussed on page 9,there is a possibility that groundwater could be encountered
during soil excavation work. If so and if that soil will be disposed off-site, please include
in the discussion how"saturated"soil would be stockpiled and managed, including free
liquids, for off-site disposal.
AEG Reply#10: If dewatering is required, groundwater will be pumped into frac tanks
for off-site disposal. A significant amount of saturated soils is not expected to be
encountered based on the limited excavation requirements below the water
table. Dewatering will remove a majority of the free liquids prior to soil removal,and
proper stockpiling methods will prevent the runoff of any additional residual liquids.
EPA Comment#11: Page 7 of the SGMP. The 2°d paragraph references
"sediment". Please clarify what this refers to specifically at the Site.
AEG Reply#11: This accounts for sediment that is expected to be generated and stored
in 55-gallon steel drums following cleaning of the frac tank. The vehicles transporting
these drums were included in this paragraph to confirm that they would also be
inspected/cleaned as needed before leaving the site.
EPA Comment#12: Pages 8 and 9 of SGMP. It is unclear why disposal of ,
groundwater would only be regulated under the MCP. In addition, there is no discussion
as to why the PCB regulations at 40 CFR§ 761.79 would not apply to decontamination
of the frac tank if it was used to hold/treat potentially PCB-contaminated groundwater.
AEG Reply#12: The sentence on page 9 referring to MCP compliance will n p y p g g p once wi be amended
to include acknowledgement of federal requirements for groundwater disposal. Please
also note that the Decontamination Plan(Section 9.0) is intended to include the
procedures, equipment, and personnel associated with the frac tank cleaning and residual
waste disposal process.
EPA Comment#13: Section 9.0 of SGMP. For the decontamination procedures,please
be aware that the provisions of 40 CFR § 761.79(c)would pertain to decontamination of
PCB-contaminated field equipment. As described, it is not clear if the procedure meets
the self-implementing requirements under §761.79(c). Alternatively, samples could be
collected to confirm that the appropriate decontamination standard has been
achieved. Also, as indicated previously, any generated waste that contains PCBs above
allowable standards would be regulated for disposal under 40 CFR Part 761.
AEG Reply#13: F.W. Webb proposes self-implementing the decontamination
procedures as outlined in 40 CFR §761.79(c), and acknowledges that any
decontamination wastes generated will be required to meet the applicable
standards. F.W. Webb will conduct the appropriate testing, rinsing, and other
decontamination procedures pursuant to 40 CFR §761.79(c).
