Salem, Massachusetts 01970
Release Tracking Number: 3-35818 and 3-36124
Dear Mr. Greenbaum:
Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (Partner) on behalf of Prime Storage Shetland, LLC (our client), is
notifying you of a 72-hour release notification for 44 and 40 Pingree Street, Salem, Massachusetts to the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). A copy of the Release Amendment
Form for this condition has been enclosed.
Partner is conducting a residential indoor air quality assessment as part of the Immediate Response Action
(IRA) activities for Release Tracking Number (RTN) 3-36124 which has been linked to RTN 3-35818 related
to trichloroethene (TCE) impact to indoor air in the basement level of Building 4, Prime Storage Shetland
Park. The assessment activities for Prime Storage Shetland Park include an investigation of potential vapor
intrusion conditions at residents on Pingree Street located to the west of Prime Storage Shetland Park.
On December 7 and 8, 2021 Partner conducted residential indoor air quality sampling at 44 Pingree Street,
40 Pingree Street,32 Pingree Street,and 22 Pingree Street. The scope of the investigation at each residence
included two 24-hour indoor air samples collected on the first floor and basement and one soil gas sample
was collected through the basement floor.
At 44 Pingree Street sampling results detected TCE in the unoccupied basement level at a concentration of
3.17 micrograms per cubic meter (Ng/m3) and in a first floor apartment at a concentration of 1.06 lag/m3.
At 40 Pingree Street TCE was detected in an occupied basement level apartment at a concentration of 0.607
lag/m3. The detected concentrations of TCE in occupied residences are in excess of the MassDEP residential
threshold value of 0.4 pg/m3 for TCE and represent Critical Exposure Pathways (CEPS). Partner verbally
notified the MassDEP on December 17, 2021 of the 72-hour reportable condition. In addition, Partner
contacted by phone the Salem Board of Health's office regarding the reportable condition.
MassDEP provided oral approval for the installation of an air purifying unit (APU) in the basement of 44
Pingree Street and the sealing of preferential pathways at 44 and 40 Pingree Street. On December 17,2021
