TRANSFER STATION HISTORYCITY OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS Kimberley Driscoll Mayor Honorable Salem City Council Salem City Hall Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Re: Swampscott Road Landfill Closure and Redevelopment Update Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council: April 4, 2008 RECEIVE® APR' 14 2008 el FY cF ^LCiiA BOARD OF HEALTH I would like to take this opportunity to update the Council on the status of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) ordered landfill closure of the former incinerator site at 12 Swampscott Road and the proposed transfer and redevelopment of the site. As you know, City officials were ordered by DEP to attend an Enforcement Conference on March 13, 2008, for the purpose of providing an update on the status of the landfill closure plan. In addition, the conference gave the City an opportunity to work on negotiating an agreement with DEP to modify our existing Administrative Consent Order (ACO) timeline for completion of the landfill closure, thus bringing us into compliance in an effort to avoid paying a civil administrative penalty. DEP advised the City that it may be subject to a penalty of $13,750.00, plus $2,000.00 per day dating back to November 1, 2004 - the date the closure was to have taken place pursuant to the original ACO. If a penalty of that magnitude were to be assessed, the City's potential liability would exceed $2 million dollars. DEP officials were clear that their preference is to work with municipalities on mutually agreeable closure plans, rather than penalize communities with high fines. However, they were equally clear that the completion of the landfill closure of the former incinerator site at 12 Swampscott Road is long overdue and must proceed in a forthright and timely manner for the City to avoid potentially hefty fines. I personally attended the March 13`h conference at DEP, along with Councilors Pelletier and Pinto, City Solicitor Elizabeth Rennard, Board of Health Chair Paulette Puleo, Bill Thomson and Robert George of Northside Carting, and Alan Hanscom of Beta Engineering. At the hearing, the City presented an update to DEP officials of our work to date with regard to soliciting re -use proposals for the site, a description of the proposals received, and the anticipated process to move forward with the review and approval of the recommended proposal. In addition, we presented a revised draft schedule which would initiate final closing of the landfill by April, 2009, provided that DEP officials would agree to extend the closure date in accordance with the . proposed timeline. DEP agreed to amend the ACO to reflect the proposed new closure date, but informed us that they would hold the penalties dating back to November 1, 2004 in abeyance, pending our successful closure of the landfill by the submitted timeline. A copy of the revised closure schedule discussed and agreed to by DEP is attached. As you will notice from the Salem City Hall — 93 Washington Street — Salem, MA 01970-3592 Ph. 978-745-9595 Fax 978-744-9327 schedule, the project has received approval from the Conservation Commission and will be moving through the MEPA and Board of Health (BOH) review and permitting processes shortly. As part of the MEPA and BOH processes, several studies have been completed by Northside, the proposed developer and purchaser of the site, relative to air quality, traffic, and noise. The BOH will be retaining consultants to conduct peer reviews of these reports, in addition to a review and cost verification of the proposed closure costs prepared by Beta Engineering. Given the City's budgetary challenges, we do not have the estimated $2.8 million dollars necessary to pay for the costs associated with closing the landfill. Assuming the project receives the required approvals from the Board of Health and City Council as proposed in the attached timetable, we will need to work diligently to meet the agreed upon closure schedule. In other words, in order to avoid further DEP penalties, closure by 2009 will require that the project approvals occur in accordance with the attached timeline. Most importantly, by transferring the site to the proposed developer, we will be able to avert the cost of closure at the site (currently estimated at $2.85 million), while at the same time putting the property back on the tax rolls and generating annual revenues from both real estate taxes and the proposed per ton tipping fee (combined estimate at $200,000 per year). Lastly, the aesthetics of the site would be markedly improved and residents would still be able to avail of certain services at the facility, such as yard waste drop off and the disposal of bulky and white goods. I encourage you to support this project as it will benefit the entire community and relieve the City of a substantial liability. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns regarding this matter, or if there is additional information that you feel would be helpful.

The Department of Environmental Protection, Metropolitan Boston, Northeast Region, Division of Solid Waste Management (the "Department") has received your Application for a Permit of an Existing Transfer Station, BWP SW 34 (Permit by Rule), on December 21, 1993. The facility to be permitted is located off Swampscott Road in Salem, Massachusetts. The Department has reviewed your application and determined that the City of Salem has failed to document that the transfer station has been site assigned as is required by 310 CMR 19.023 (3)(c)3 in order to be eligible for Permit by Rule. Personnel of the Department have previously spoken with Richard Lis, Assistant City Engineer at which time the Department requested that verification of the site assignment be submitted to the Department. At present the Department has not received the information as requested. This information is required before a "Permit by Rule" can be granted by the Department. The Department has therefore concluded that your application is technically deficient. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, the City of Salem must correct the deficiency as stated above or your Permit by Rule application will be deemed to have been withdrawn. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Robert Tanzer at the letterhead address or by telephone (617) 935-2160. Sincerely, Sincerely, Robert Tanzer Thomas D.

Locus Map: See attached sheet Site Plan: See attached sheet Copied from approved plan titled, City of Salem, Massachusetts Municipal Solid Waste Transfer Station, Designed by CE Maguire, Inc., April 1975 Facility Description: This facility was originally constructed as a incinerator in 1961. The incinerator was in operation from 1961 tc 1975. The city closed down the incinerator portion of the main building due to state and federal regulations. The hopper area was modified and compactors where added so the facility could be used as a transfer station for the city wide curb side solid waste collection and drop off center. In 1978 the transfer of curb side waste at the facility was discontinued. The curb side collection from then on has been hauled directly to a land fill or RESCO by the city's collection contractor. From 1979 to 1987 the transfer station was open to the public and contractors for disposing of refuse for a tipping fee. From 1987 to present the city still maintains one hopper with compactor for waste collected from its parks, downtown pedestrian areas and other various city owned buildings.

As described in the application, the C&D materials from the demolition of the existing transfer station (incinerator) building will be used as backfill for the building foundation. The Department concurs that the C&D materials - both from demolition of the existing building and from relocation of materials from the culvert area - may be used to backfill the building foundation hole and re -grade the area around the existing foundation. The application proposes to effect the use of the C&D debris as backfill pursuant to a Beneficial Use Determination (a BUD, 310 CMR 19.060). The Department has determined that a BUD is not the appropriate mechanism for the effecting the use of the C&D as proposed by this project. In consideration of the origin and character of the C&D debris, the debris must be placed as part of the waste materials in the landfill, and the landfill cap extended to include the transfer station foundation. The Department will entertain disposal of the C&D materials in this manner as an integral component of the site remediation and landfill closure design. Based on the site use history and the soil conditions identified by the Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA), the Department has determined that the construction of the salt shed does not require Department approval. The Department approves the CAAA and concurs with the selection of Option 4 for the design of closure of the landfill subject to the following conditions: The closure design shall: a. Extend the limits of the cap to cover the C&D waste materials. In accomplishing this extension of the cap, either the FML may be extended under the new building with the FML and related layers designed to accommodate the loads, or the building foundation shall be integrated into the impervious layer of the cap. b. Design the new building foundation to protect the building and its occupants from explosive gases. 2. The Corrective Action Design (CAD, i.e. the closure plans) application shall be signed by the appropriate official of the City of Salem. Reports, plans, etc., shall be signed and sealed by the engineer of record. Each shall include certification pursuant to 310 CMR 19.011, as required. 3. The Department reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend or revoke this approval as necessary to protect the public health, safety or the environment, or as otherwise necessary to insure compliance. with applicable law and/or regulation. 4. The City shall obtain and comply with the requirements of all applicable state, federal and local laws, regulations, and permits. Concurrently with submitting the CAD application the City shall submit documentation that the applications for such other permits and approvals as may be required have been applied for. 5. In consideration of the commercial operating nature of the transfer station by Northside Carting Inc. and the interdependence of the reconstruction of the transfer station on the corrective action design, the Department's review of the CAD shall not be subject to the exemption from application fees granted to municipalities. The application shall be subject to payment of the applicable fees for privately owned/operated facilities as established at 310 CMR 4.00. 6. The Department reserves the option to require Northside Carting, Inc. to obtain a permit, issued to Northside Carting, Inc., for future operation of the facility, and/or otherwise pay an annual compliance fee as applicable to privately operated facilities. sIf50412apv.doc 04/12/05 Salem Salem Landfill Corrective Action Alternative Analysis Conditional Approval Page 3 This is an electronic facsimile of a document on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protecdon.

The City has not signed the Corrective Action Alternative Analysis (CAAA) application. In consideration of the need to proceed to design of this project and the degree of conformity of the selected option to a standard design, the Department has elected to waive the signatory requirement for this application. It will be necessary that the appropriate "responsible official' of the City of Salem sign the application for review of the Corrective Action Design. The CAAA reviews 5 options. The first 2 options ([Option I] the need for "more stringent closure actions" than defined in 310 CMR 19.112 and [Option 2] the ability to allow a "less stringent closure actions" than defined in 310 CMR 19.112) and the "no sIf50409S.doc 04/14/05 FACT SHEET File Number: W062414 Salem Landfill & Transfer Station Page 3 of 4 Corrective Actions Alternatives Analysis This is an electronic facsimile of a document on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. build" option [Option 5] are only summarily described and examined. The focus of the report is a "standard" option [Option 3] and a "modified" option [Option 4]. Options 2 and 5 are rejected as not meeting the goals of the regulatory standards for landfill closures. Option 1 is rejected as the results of the Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA) did not indicate a need. The City's engineers recommend the selection of Option 4 for the closure of the landfill. Under Option 3: * The existing landfill would be capped with a low permeability soil or FML cap. * All waste would be retained within the existing waste limits. The River Front of the Forest River would be remediated by: i. excavating the waste from the edge of the river, ii. constructing a concrete bin.type retaining wall along the edge of the river, iii. backfilling the retaining wall with the excavated waste. This option would not make any changes to the existing transfer station or other improvements to the site outside of the existing limits waste. Option 3 describes using an FML to construct the cap along the slopes facing the river. As described the FML would be placed at a gradient of 3:1, and excavated waste would be "stored" behind a retaining wall constructed next to the river. The Department assumes it is meant that the excavated waste will be used as permanent backfill behind the retaining wall. The described River Front remediation would result in waste materials being placed above the cap. This element of the design does not comply with minimal requirements for the capping of the waste material. However, the design is amenable to alteration to correct this deficiency. Under Option 4 the landfill would be capped with a low permeability soil or FML cap as included at Option 3. In addition: The old incinerator building (of which part is used as the existing transfer station) would be razed. W50409fs.doc 04/14/05 FACT SHEET File Number: W062414 Salem Landfill & Transfer Station Page 4 of 4 Corrective Actions Alternatives Analysis This is an electronic facsimile of a document on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. * The River Front of the Forest River would be remediated by excavating waste from along the river and regarding the landfill slope' (currently varying from 1:1 to 2:1) to a gradient of 3:1. * Forest River will be further remediated by removal of the C&D waste materials from the area of the culvert and reconstructing the river crossing with clean fill. * The C&D debris from razing the incinerator, along with the waste excavated from the River Front would be used to backfill the area of the incinerator building. * A new transfer station, with access driveways and aprons, would be constructed. * A new salt shed would be constructed on the portion of the property on the opposite side of the Forest River (the area currently used for the Town's leaf & yard waste composting area.). As proposed the new building would retain the same setback from the street side property line as the current building (circa 40 feet). Option 4 proposes to use the C&D debris and excavated waste as fill under the new transfer station pursuant to a Beneficial Use Determination (BUD). This type of approval will not likely be appropriate. However, the design will likely be amenable to extension of the waste area and cap to beneath the new transfer station building. Option 4 includes construction of a new salt shed on the property. As identified in the plans available at this time, the area where the salt shed is proposed has not been used for solid waste (ash, MSW) disposal. The area is currently being used for leaf & yard waste composting - an activity exempt pursuant to 310 CMR 16.05(4)(b). As described in the CSA and noted on the plan included with the CAAA, waste disposal at the site was limited principally to the portion of the site east of Forest River. Some construction & demolition waste (C&D debris) disposal also occurred within the immediate vicinity of the Forest River as part of establishing access across the Forest River to the portion of the west of the river - an approximately 160 foot reach of the river was placed into a culvert and the river channel at the culvert was filled with C&D debris materials. The Department, therefore, deems the portion of the site west of the Forest River (not including the area of C&D disposal) to be a separate and distinct area from the waste disposal area of the site. Therefore, the area where the salt shed is to be located is not subject to review and approval as a post closure use for the purpose of constructing a salt shed as proposed.

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS{PRIVATE ) EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION In the Matter of: City of Salem and Northside Carting, Inc (a.k.a Salem Environmental, Inc.) FMF # 39974 CONSENT ORDER AND NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE ACOP -NE -01-4005 I. THE PARTIES 1. The Department of Environmental Protection (the 'Department') is a duly, constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts established pursuant to M.G.L. c. 21A, §7, with a principal office located at One Winter Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108, and a regional office located at 205A Lowell Street, Wilmington, Massachusetts 01887. 2. The City of Salem ("City") is a municipal corporation located in Essex County and duly organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with its principal offices located at City Hall, Salem, MA 01970. The City owns and has a Solid Waste permit for a Solid Waste Transfer Station located on Swampscott Road in Salem (the "Facility"). 3. Northside Carting, Inc. ("NCP') - a.k.a. Salem Environmental, Inc - is a Massachusetts corporation with a place of business at 210 Holt Road North Andover, Ma. 01845 (the "Operator"). Mr. Robert George is President of NCI. II. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND LAW 4. The Department is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of M.G.L. c. 111, §§150A and 150A1/2, and the regulations promulgated thereunder at 310 CMR 16.00 and 19.000. The Department has authority under M.G.L. c. 21A, §16, and the regulations promulgated thereunder at 310 CMR 5.00, to assess civil administrative penalties to persons in noncompliance with its regulations. 5. The City is the owner and permittee of the Salem Transfer Station. NCI operates the Facility. 6. The following facts are alleged by the Department as the basis for the parties to enter into Consent Order: Page 2 of 14 This is an electronic facsimile of a document on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. A. On June 9, 1960 the Facility site was Site Assigned by the City's Board of Health for a solid waste incinerator. B. On September 9, 1975 the Department issued a conditional approval to the City allowing the conversion of the Solid Waste Incinerator building to a Solid Waste Transfer Station. The City was required by this approval to cap the Landfill and to notify the Department upon completion of this capping. No notification of the Landfill capping exists in the record. The operation that was approved allowed the discharge, via a chute, of Municipal Solid Waste ("MSW") from entirely within the modified building, to compactors. After compaction the MSW was loaded into trailers for off-site disposal. C. On June 3, 1994 the Department issued a Permit -by -Rule to the City for the continued operation of the Facility. D. On January 10, 1995 the City notified the Department, in writing, that, effective September 1, 1994, the Facility would be operated by NCI and that the City would retain ownership of the Facility. E. On September 22, 1999 a compliance inspection of the Facility was conducted as a result of the Department's receipt of a complaint. The Department alleges that during this inspection Department personnel noted open-air sorting of Construction and Demolition ("C&D") wastes, open-air storage, large compost piles, use of C&D materials as fill, and the storage of materials adjacent to a waterway. F. On December 10, 1999 the Department issued a Notice of Non-compliance (NON — NE -99-4021) to both the City and the Operator citing alleged violations observed on September 22, 1999. In particular, the Department alleged that the facility was in noncompliance with the following: 1. The facility layout had been modified from those presented and approved in the Permit -by -Rule application, including a modification of grades and waste handling and storage areas, without an application and approval in accordance with 310 CMR 19.039. 2. Processed compost and solid waste materials, including woodwaste, demolition debris, and bulky metal objects, were being stored at the facility in a manner that was not organized and orderly, and without an approved plan, in accordance with 310 CMR 19.215. The approved Permit -by -Rule application did not indicate the uncontainerized storage of solid waste (demolition debris, woodwaste, and metals), and the storage of compost material at the facility that hindered movement at the facility. The facility is not approved as a compost or compost storage facility. 3. Surface grades on the west side of the transfer station building were modified using solid waste materials (demolition debris) without a Beneficial Use Determination in accordance with 310 CMR 19.060. Page 3 Of 14 This is an electronic facsimile of a document on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. 4. Solid waste materials (demolition debris) were used to construct a roadway exiting the property to the north without a Beneficial Use Determination. 5. Compost and demolition debris were being stored at the site without a permit within an apparent Wetlands Buffer Zone without a filing a Determination of Applicability or Notice of Intent with the local Conservation Commission. 6. Solid waste and recyclable materials appeared to have been stored at the site for more than 60 days. 7. Daily logs were not maintained at the facility in accordance with 310 CMR 19.220. Past daily logs were reportedly kept at the operator's office in North Andover, Massachusetts. G. On December 14, 1999 the City responded to the NON by notifying the Department that the Facility had been leased to NCI and that NCI would hire a consultant to review its operations. H. On January 6, 2000 the Department received a Waste Ban Plan required to be submitted by the regulations for the Facility. This Waste Ban Plan indicated that only C&D was received at the Facility. 1. On February 16, 2000 the Department received the Facility's 1999 Annual Report as required to be submitted by the regulations. This Annual Report was prepared by the Operator, Mr Robert George, under the name of Northside Carting of North Andover. This Annual Report indicated that six hundred seventy-two (672) tons of Municipal Solid Waste had been received during 1999 which was contrary to the information submitted with the Waste Ban Plan. This submittal indicated there had been a change in the Operator of the Facility. J. On February 29, 2000 Department personnel met with the Operator and its consultant at the Facility for a re -inspection and to determine if the compost operation was being operated suitably. The compost Operation was determined to be suitable but only marginally. During this visit, Department personnel became aware that the compost operation was located on the former Incinerator Ash Landfill. Re -grading of this area preparatory to conducting the compost operation required excavating into the old Landfill which had not been approved by the Department. K. On May 10, 2000 the Department received a complaint regarding the operation of the Facility. Based on further review of the approved existing plans the Department determined that the Facility had only been approved for waste to be placed directly into compactor units located within the Incinerator building. No processing to remove recyclable materials inside or outside the building had been approved. L. On May 17, 2000 Department personnel re -inspected the Facility. During this inspection the Department informed the Operator that the Facility was only Page 4 of 14 This is an electronic facsimile of a document on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. permitted to dispose of waste directly into compactor units within the building. The Facility was not approved for the open-air sorting of recyclables from C&D. M.' On July 26, 2000 an Enforcement Conference was held in the Department's Wilmington office. Representatives of the City and Operator attended. The purpose of this conference was to discuss alleged violations at the Facility, the steps necessary to return to compliance, a penalty for these alleged violations and, to determine if the City and Operator wanted to resolve these matters via a Consent Order. N. By letter dated January 9, 2001 a draft Consent Order was sent to both the City and Operator for their review and comment. This letter requested comments be submitted by January 26, 2001. Subsequently, at the request of the City the submittal date was extended to February 9, 2001. O. The January 9, 2001 letter stated "It should be noted further, to avoid the imposition offurther penalties, that the day to day operation of the facility must be conducted in strict conformance with all existing approvals. This includes, but is not limited to, the direct deposit of all incoming waste materials directly into the hoppers within the Transfer Station building. No deposition and/or processing of in -coming waste outside the building is presently allowed under existing approvals." P. On January 25, 2001 Department personnel conducted a compliance inspection of the Facility. The Department alleges that the following alleged and continuing violations were found: 1. Waste was being deposited outside of the transfer station building onto the ground and into a dumpster in non-compliance with the operating permit. No access could be made to tipping floor of the building due to obstructions at the entrance (piles of wood and other debris). 2. A portion of the ash landfill had been cut/excavated to construct a ramp system for solid waste trailers/containers thereby modifying the mode of operation without prior approval from the Department. It appears the ash landfill had never been properly graded and closed (no cover and vegetation on top and side slopes). 3. The signage observed at the entrance to the facility did not indicate the hours of operation, limitations and what types of solid wastes were or were not accepted at the facility. The entrance gate to the facility appeared to be inoperable 4. The facility was not adequately screened/fenced to shield the facility from adjoining properties (street level). The screen/fence was sagging or torn and in need or repairs. 5. Routine maintenance and cleanliness around the facility was lacking. Varying amounts of debris were observed on the ground. The access driveway system was not paved. Page 5 of 14 This is an electronic facsimile of a document on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. 6. Good management practices were not being used for the composting operation. Bulky materials (logs), tree branches, whole Christmas trees and, other materials were being co -mingled into the compost pile. The compostable material was not windrowed, but excessively stockpiled. 7. The facility is authorized to accept only construction and demolition waste. Records of daily tonnage and other operational information were not available on site. According to the operator's representative, the information is sent their North Andover office. 8. Seven (7) full roll -off containers containing solid waste were stored on site. 9. DPW roadway materials were being stockpiled on the Facility site. 10. Construction and demolition waste deposited on the ground at the Facility site behind the Transfer Station building. Q. On or about 9Feb01, the City and NCI submitted comments on the draft Consent Order. R. On 22Feb01, a follow-up Enforcement Conference was held in the Department's offices in Wilmington. Representatives of the City and NCI attended, and the parties discussed alleged violations at the Facility, the steps necessary to return to compliance, the penalty sought for the alleged violations, and the execution of the Consent Order. The Department alleges that the City has violated the following requirements: A. 19.016: Post -Closure Use No Person shall use a solid waste management facility site for any purpose other than that established in the permit or plan approval after closure without first obtaining Departmental approval. B. 19.021: Transition Requirements for Existing Facilities (4) Inactive Landfill Facility Filing Schedule (a) Prior to January 1, 1992, the owner of an inactive landfill or dumping ground that was in operation after April 21, 1971 but ceased operations prior to July 1, 1990 shall file: 1. proof that the facility was closed in accordance with plans approved by the Department; or 2. a final closure and post -closure plan in accordance with 310 CMR 19.030(3)(c)5. if the facility was not closed in accordance with a closure/post-closure plan approved by the Department.
