RE: SUMMARY OF COMPLETED SEDIMENT RESPONSE ACTIONS
MILL POND ORDER OF CONDITIONS#W050017
FORMER HAMBLET& HAYES FACILITY
20 COLONIAL DRIVE
SALEM, MA 01970
Dear Mr. St. Louis and Commissioners:
Golder Associates Inc. (Golder) has prepared this letter at the request of ERM (representing Univar) to
summarize the response actions completed under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) by our
client, BASF (formerly Ciba Specialty Chemicals), for the remediation of chromium-impacted sediment in
Mill Pond. The Disposal Site (RTN# 3-2565) is located on 20 Colonial Drive (currently owned and
occupied by Univar Inc.) The undersigned Licensed Site Professional (LSP) is the LSP of Record for the
Disposal Site.
After receiving an Order of Conditions, issued to Ciba Specialty Chemicals, the excavation work in Mill
Pond to remove levels of chromium in sediments above risk based standards, proceeded in two phases.
The first phase included the upper Mill Pond (below the transmission lines) and was remediated in
November and December 2006. The lower pond was remediated in the summer and early fall of 2007.
The reports that document successful completion of the chromium sediment remediation in accordance
with the provisions of the MCP (310 CMR 40.0000) were fled with the MassDEP Northeast Region and
are listed below(note these reports are part of the public record and may be accessed on the MassDEP's
Site's list at http://qublic.deo.state.ma.us/SearchableSites2/Search.asox and inserting RTN#3-2565);
■ Phase IV Completion Statement February 27, 2009: This document describes the
chromium remedial project for Mill Pond and documents the successful completion of the
project;
■ Class C Temporary Solution Statement March 4, 2009: This report was filed to
demonstrate that conditions on the Disposal Site qualify for a Temporary Solution as
defined by the MCP (i.e. there are no Substantial Hazards on the Disposal Site). In
addition this report contains the post-excavation data analytical data for Mill Pond
sediments which demonstrates that goals of the Phase IV response actions met the risk
based criteria for chromium in sediments; and
■ Post Class C Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Report August 10, 2009: This
report which is filed to update the MassDEP on progress at the site contains information
on supplemental wetlands plantings
Based on the above documents, it is the undersigned LSP's Opinion that the Mill Pond sediment
remediation to remove chromium above risk based standards was successfully completed in accordance
with the provisions of the MCP. Based on current data and the status of the Disposal Site no further MCP
response actions in Mill Pond are planned.

RE: Request for Certificate of Compliance
Univar USA
Site Remediation
One Colonial Ave,Salem MA 01970
DEP File No. 64-354
Dear Commission Members:
On behalf of Univar USA, Envirorunental Resources Management, in
accordance with Condition #12 in the Order of Conditions (OOC)
referenced to Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
(MassDEP) File #64-354, is respectfully submitting this Request for
Certificate of Compliance (COC) for Mill Pond sediment remediation
activities performed at One Colonial Road in Salem, MA (Figure 1).
A brief history of this project is provided below:
• A Notice of Intent(NOI) was filed on 27 August 2003 for the
removal of chromium impacted sed'unent from Mill Pond;
• The Salem Conservation Commission issued an OOC on 22
September 2005 for the proposed sediment remediation project;
• All required erosion controls were installed and inspected by the
ConservaHon Commission prior to the start of the work;
• The excavation work was completed during two phases:
o Phasel: Excavation directly beneath National Grid power
transmission lines in December 2005; and
o Phase 2: Remaining excavation work in 2007.
• The extent of excavation and post-excavation sediment sampling
locations are depicted on Figure 2; and
Salem Conservafion Commission Environmental
e r
O5 October2015 Resources
Page 2 Management
• The locafions and elevations of post-remediation storm water
conveyances and structures are depicted on Figure 3.
This project history is based on a remediadon memo prepared by BASF
on 15 April 2010 which provides additional detail of the work completed
(Attachment 1) and a Phase IV Status Completion Report(RTN #3-2565)
prepared by Ciba and submitted to MassDEP in February 2009. ERM also
reviewed photographs taken during the excavation phase of the
remediation project, and conducted a file review at the Salem
Conservation Commission to review the final NOI, OOC, and other
project notes. A Photographic log of the sediment remediation work is
included as Attachment 2. While ERM was not present during any
portion of the project remediation period, review of the documents
revealed that the project appears to have been performed in general
compliance with the conditions approved in the OOC.
In addifion to Form 8A, ERM respectfully submits the attached partially
completed WPA Form 8B for your convenience and use should the
Commission grant a Certificate of Compliance for this project.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 617-823-1065 if you have any
questions regarding this submittal.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Padien,
As the party providing on-site management for the excavation and off-site disposal of the
chromium impacted sediments from Mill Pond at the Hamblet& Hayes remediation
project (RTN #3-2565) 1 am providing this narrative to describe the process and final
outcome as it relates to the Order of conditions and the Permits issued by MADEP and the
Army corps of Engineers.
The excavation work was undeRaken in two phases, one directly beneath the National Grid
power transmission lines in December 2005, followed by the majority of the excavation
work in 2007.
Water filled coffer dams were utilized to hydraulically isolate the excavation areas during
the work. These coffer dams were laid out in a manner that permitted pond flow around
the excavation areas along the pond banks opposite of the facility side. There was no
requirement to pump upstream water around the excavation zone during the work.
The initial phase of sediment removal directly beneath the transmission lines required
labor intensive vacuuming of 18" of sediment depth from the defined footprint. No
excavation equipment could be used because of the low hanging Nation Grid lines directly
above the excavation area. The remaining pond excavations were conducted with standard
and long reach track excavation equipment. Between 18" and 24" of sediments were
removed from the excavation footprint. A significant amount of phragmities was also
removed from the pond and disposed of with the sediments. The means used to monitor
the depth of the sediment excavation was a reference mark on the equipment and visual
confirmation that the bottom oFthe excavation was maintained level. A minimum of 12"
of sediment was targeted for removal, and a conservative approach of removing 18"to 24"
was used.
A significant amount of the pond had become a mud flat from sedimentation and
eutrophication processes. The results of the excavations restored the pond to between 18"
to 24" of open water depth. A number of timbers, tires, and other materials found in the
pond were also removed during the excavations and disposed of off-site.
All required erosion controls were installed and inspected by the Conservation
Commission prior to the start of the work. Additional inspections have been conducted to
assess the post excavation conditions and recovery of vegetation in the disturbed areas.

Re: Former Hamblet and Hayes Facility Remediation
Project Phasing and Control of Stormwater
Amended Order of Conditions
DEP File No.64-354
Dear Mr.Chairman and Commissioners;
, The following materials have been prepared in response to the Commission's request for
additional information regarding the implementation of the proposed remediation project.
At the public hearing held on September 8,2005,the Commission requested additional
information regarding:
• The anticipated phasing of the proposed dredging and methods to control
stormwater runoff collected within Mill Pond during remediation;
• Methods used during and after dredging to confirm that contaminated materials
dredged from Mill Pond were contained within the work area and not allowed to
overtop the water-filled coffer dams used at the site.
Following the installation of site per miter controls and erosion and sedimentation controls,
the work within Mill Pond will be completed in three phases;one each within the areas of
mud flatsand salt marsh to be remediated. During each phase the work area will be
isolated form surrounding sections of Mill Pond to allow work"in the dry". The work
areas will be isolated by the installation of a water-filled cofferdam four(4)feet in diameter
and completed one section at a tune.
Phase 1. The largest dredge area and longest duration closure of Mill Pond will be required
to remediate the 38,185 square foot area of mud flats in the downstream end of the pond.
This work is expected to require approximately only 2 to 3 days of work.
Phase 2. The second dredge area will require the removal of sediments from a footprint of
approximately 13,340 square feet and is anticipated to be completed in less than 2 days of
work within the pond.

Phase 3. The remaining dredge area is limited to approxunately 330 square feet of
Phragmites-dominated salt marsh along the peruneter of Mill Pond.
Hydraulic control in Mill Pond will be provided in 3 ways during dredging operations.
l. Mobilization for work within Mill Pond will be started based on the extended
forecast for Salem obtained from the National Weather Service. A minimum,
three-day forecast without predicted rainfall will be required to block the pond
for Phase 1. A minimum of a two-day forecast without substantial predicted
rainfall will be required to block the pond for Phase 2. Such a forecast will not
be required for mobilization efforts of the remediation of the 330 foot area of
salt marsh described as above as Phase 3.
2. An inflatable dam/stopper will be installed within the existing box culvert to
prevent tidal flooding during work within the pond.'Fhis dam will be fitted
with a discharge pipe to allow diversion piping if necessary and the discharge
of dewatering effluent to this culvert.
3. Pumps will be avaIlable on-site at project start-up and will be used if necessary
to divert flows or stormwater around the dredge area. These diversion pumps
will discharge directly ro the culvert and will not discharge within Mill Pond.
4. During start-up for each phase of dredging,a water-filled cofferdam will be
installed at the upstream and downstream ends of the work area blocking Mill
Pond allowing work"in the dry". Following dredging for Phase 1,the
cofferdam will be moved to the Phase 2 worksite and installed.
These measures will reduce the potenfial for flooding in the work area because they will a)
minimize the volume of water in the pond at project startup-by starting with a low water
elevation and blocking tidal flooding;b) allow for the shortest duration of work within the
pond-by allowing each area to be completed in single phase of work;and c)provide an
altemate means of stormwater or surface water control-by having a diversion pump
available on-site at project startup to convey water around the work area and discharge
direcfly to the culvert downstream of the site.
In addition to these hydraulic control measures,we understand that the Commission will
require before and after photographs of the culvert and a daily log to document that the
wfferdams had not been overtopped at any time during the proposed dredging. We
anticipate that this documentaHon will be included in the Amended Order of Conditions to
be issued for the project.

Re: Request for Amended Order of Conditions-DEP File No.64-354
One Colonial Road
Salem,MA 01970
Dear Mr.Chairman and Commissioners;
On the behalf of our client,Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation,Vanasse Hangen Brustlin,Inc.
(VHB)respectfully requests the Commission issue an Amended Order of Conditions for the
proposed Hamblet and Hayes facility remediation at One Colonial Road in Salem to allow of the
removal of additional chromium-contaminated sediments from Mill Pond. This request is
submitted to seek authorization for addiHonal work necessary to respond to comments on the
project submitted by the U.S.Environmental ProtecHon Agency regarding the extent of the
proposed remediation.
Project Site
The project site,the former Hamblet&Hayes Facility is an active 328-acre industrial facility that
has been used for chemical manufachxring and distribution operations for over 70 years.
Historically, the facility manufactured basic chromium sulfate for the tanning industry.During
this lengthy use of the site,processes waste and other materials appear to have been deposited in
Mill Pond and on the grounds surrounding the facility.Ciba acquired response action liability
under stock purchase agreement and has pursued all appropriate permits and approvals.The
site has been assigned Release Tracking Number 3-2565.Currently,the site is owned and
operated by UNIVAR,USA as a chemical miuing,packing distribution operation.
Existing Order of Conditions
On September 11,2003, the Salem Conservation Commission issued an Order of Conditions
(DEP File No. 64-354)authorizing the project under the Limited Project provisions of the
Wetland Protection Act regulations. The Commission's order authorized the removal of
approxunately S70 cubic yards of contaminated sediment and soil from Coastal Beach and Salt
Marsh associated with Mill Pond. In addiHon to the remediation efforts within Coastal Beach
and Salt Marsh,the work required temporary alterations to Coastal Bank and Salt marsh for site

access. The extent of the remediation efforts proposed in the Notice of Intent was defined by
the selected remediation efforts required to achieve a condition of No Significant Risk,as defined
by the Massachusetts Contingency Plan and as may be allowed under the Wetlands ProtecHon
Act regulations at 310 CMR 10.24('�(c)6.
Request for Expanded Remediation Work
During its review of the Army Corps of Engineers Individual Permit Application,the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency commented on the extent of the remediation and the
assumptions regarding achieving a condiHon of no significant risk. The agency requested the
removal of additional sediments from the pond to ensure attainment of this goal. While the
proponent remains confident in the assumptions of the ecological risk assessment completed at
the site,and the sediment removal required to achieve a condition of no significant risk,Ciba has
agreed to the removal of additional sed'unents as requested by the U.S.EPA.
The revised remediaHon plan includes two changes in the proposed work:
➢ Expansion of the remediation to include dredging within an additiona126,575 square I
feet of coastal beach;and
➢ Elimination of the proposed backfilling of dredged azeas.
Both of these changes are proposed in response to comments by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency during their review of the Individual Permit ApplicaHon.
The proposed expanded dredge areas are adjacent to the original work areas and are depicted on
the attached plan G2. The expansion of the proposed dredging will more than double the
quantity of contaminated sediments to be removed from the site resulting in additional benefits
to Mill Pond. The expanded dredge areas were selected to allow removal of the areas of highest
chromium contamination in the pond. As described previously in the Notice of Intent,all
contaminated sediments removed from the site will be disposed of at an approved off-cite
location in accordance with the requirements of the M.C.P.
The Notice of Intent,and all other permit applicaHons,described the restoration of existing
grades within Mill Pond following remediation. This restoraHon would be achieved by
backfilling the dredged areas with appropriate fill material avoiding loss of coastal beach at the
site. However,the U.S.EPA has requested,and the Army Corps has concurred,that it would
be preferable to not backfill the dredged areas. Mill Pond is slowly filling with sediment washed
from adjacent roads resulting in the gradual loss of open water at the site. Dredging one foot of
sediment from Mffl Pond without backfilling will partially reverse this artificial loss of open
water habitat at the site resulting in a further net benefit to the Mill Pond wetlands.

Frank,
Thanks for the VHB letter regarding the above site and EPA's request for the property owner to do more in the way of
dredging/remediation. As I indicated earlier, we want to see EPA's comment letter prior to giving any further review
comments on this project. Given the short turnaround time for review before Con Com's next meeting and the current
backlog of work, it is doubtful we will have review comments in time for your next meeting. We therefore request that this
project be continued until your next scheduled meeting.

Rebecca,
Sorry for the late reply. Ciba is evaluating removing additional
sediments
in Mill Pond. I'm not sure about the definite timeframe, but I know
Ciba is
anxious to proceed, so I suspect I'll get a proposal from them in the
near
future. None of this is holding-up the Corps permit to be honest, other
than
I'm waiting for Ciba to provide their revised proposal as they stated
they
would do. I may issue a 30-day letter at some point which would put the
pressure on them to provide the revised plans within 30-days or the
Corps can
� make a permit decision on the proposal already in front of us.
Please let me know if the City has any comments they'd like to provide.

Kevin,
I attended the meeting on April 13th at your offices. What was the
outcome
of the meeting. Was Ciba going to evaluate taking out more sediments in
Mill
Pond to lower the residual chromium levels? What is the time frame and
does
this hold up the issuance of the Corps permit? I am just curious. Thanks
for
your information.

Good Morning,
Ciba Chemicals won't be providing written responses to EPA's comments on this project until April 1, 2005. The consensus I've
gotten from everyone is that we all would like to have a chance to review the responses ahead of the project meeting SO I'm
cancelling the meeting scheduled for March 28th. I'd like to reshedule the meeting for Wednesday,
Ap1'il 13th, at 1 PM. The morning of the April 13th is our monthly inter-agency meeting here at the Corps, so it will be
convenient for all of the agency people to stick around for this meeting in the afternoon.
Please let me know if you will be attending the meeting on Wednesday, April 13th at 1 PM at the Corps of Engineers
in Concord, MA. Sorry for the confusion. I'll make sure you all receive Ciba's responses ahead of the meeting. Hope you can
all make it.

' This Notice of Intent(NOI) is filed under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act
, (M.G.L.Chapter 131,§40)and its implementing regulations(310 CMR 10.00),and in
accordance with the Salem Wetland Protecrion and ConservaHon Bylaw(Salem Code
Chapter 34).
' The proposed work meets the regulatory criteria for Limited Projects at
310 CMR 10.24('�(a)(6)because it is a response to a release of hazazdous material and
, subject to the provisions of the Massachusetts Contingency Plan(310 CMR 40.00)
under Release Tracking Number 3-2565.
, 1 Introduction
, Ciba Specialty Chemicals CorporaHon(Ciba)respectfully submits this Notice of
Intent(NOI)seeking an Order of CondiHons authorizing the removal of
contaminated soils and sedunents within wetland resource areas and buffer zone at
' the former Hamblet&Hayes(H&H)facility on Colonial Drive in Salem.
(See Figure 1—Site Location Map.) The site is currently owned and operated by
Univar USA. The applicant,Ciba Chemical Co.has written authorization from
' Univaz USA to submit the attached NoHce of Intent and to perform work on the
project site necessary to complete the remediation. A copy of this written
' authorization is provided in Attactunent D.
This project is proposed under the MCP as a Response Action. The proposed
remedial work at the site will eliminate the potential risk associated with exposure to
, chromium-contaminated material located within portions of Mill Pond,the coastal
bank and the 100-foot buffer zone. This NOI contains a description of Mffl Pond and
the proposed remediation to be conducted at the site.
' The Licensed Site Professionai(LSP)of record for this project is Frank W.Lilley
(LSP#4183)of Vanasse Hangen Brustlin,Inc.
,
' 1.1 Site History
The Hamblet and Hayes site,as defined by the Massachusetts Contingency Plan,
' encompasses the industrial facility on Colonial Road and portions of the abutting
, \U1pWqTR�EN0802PD005NOA 2 Attachment A—Notice of Intent Narrative
NOiICE OF INTENT.DOC
� , I� Vanasse Hangen Bmstlin,Inc.
,
' properties to the north and east owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation
' Authority and New England Power respectively. Ciba Chemical Co.came to own
the property in a stock purchase agreement and,wMle subsequently selling the
property.a Van Waters and Rodgers which later became Univar USA,agreed to
' compiete the remediation to a level sufficient to remove significant risk associated
the presence of contaminated soils and sediments deposited at the site.
, Historical operations at the facility inc:uded manufacturing basic chromium sulfates
and transferring,storing and repackaging various petroleum chemicals and solvents
and,briefly,the production of phenolic-based fungicides.
' The extent of soil and sediment contamination at the site has been documented in
Phase I and Phase:I reports prepared under the MCP on file with the Department of
' Environmental Protecrion. These studies identified an unacceptable risk to human
health and the environment resulting from the continued presence of chromium
containing wmpounds in the soil and sediment within Mill Pond.
' A Phase III report,completed in January 2001,examined potential remedial
altematives and identified a preferred altemaHve which included the removal of
, contaminants from a portion of Mill Pond and the surrounding area. A Phase N
Remedy Implementation Plan was submitted to DEP in March 2003. (See
Attachment E). The remedial action selected in the Phase N report is described in
' this Notice of Intent.
' 2 Objectives of the Proposed Project
' The proposed project has two primary objectives:
(1) Mitigate the risks to human health and the environment due to the presence
, of contaminated surface and subsurface soils and wetland sediment;and
(2) Control or eliminate sources of groundwater contamination
� These hvo objectives are discussed below in further detail.
' 2.1 Mitigation of Human Health and Ecological
Risks
, The Phase II Comprehensive Site Invesfigation Report(Ciba Specialty ChemicaLs,
Januazy 2001)concluded that Significant Risk of harm to human health and
, ecological receptors,as defined in the MCP,exists in the uplands and wetlands
within the project site. The risk is created by the potential for exposure of human
and ecological receptors to trivalent chromium.
,
.. \VAAWATTEHWBNDOCSNO�
, 3 Attachment A—Notice of Intent Narrative

' �� Vanasse Hangen Brustlin,Inc -
'
The intent of the proposed remedial effort is to achieve a condition of"No Significant
' Risk"as defined in the MCP to human and ecological receptors with respect to the
soil and sediment contamination in the uplands,wetlands,and Mill Pond portion of
the site. The extent of remediaHon required to achieve a condition of No Significant
' Risk can be achieved by removing sedunent from two areas of Mill Pond and the
adjacent Sait Marsh and Coastal Bank. These remediation areas are depicted on
Sheet 2 of the project plans.
t
2.2 Control or Elimination of Groundwater
' Sources
The second objective of the Project is the control or elimination of known
contributors to groundwater contamination at the site. This objective will be
, achieved by the removal of the high concentraHons of contaminants within Mill Pond
and the adjacent upland.
,
3 Existing Conditions
' The project site consists of approximately 3.8 acres of industrially developed land,
salt marsh,coastal beach and open water associated with Mill Pond. Existing
' conditions are depicted on Sheet 1 of the project plans and described in the following
sections. During the past 70 years of cherrucal manufacturing operations at this site,
processed waste and other materials appear to have been deposited in Mill Pond and
' on the grounds surrounding the facility. Recent site characterizaHons have been
completed in order to refine the known lunits of soil to be remediated.
' 3.1 Site Contamination
' Detailed sediment and soil testing conducted in the 2002 and reported in the Phase
IV Remedy Implementarion Plan(See Attachment E)identified 3 areas of
contaminated soil requiring remediation. These areas,shown on Sheet 2 of the
' project plans,consist of:
• Two azeas of MIll Pond approximately 5,540 and 19,410 square feet in size. These
' azeas contain the highest levels of trivalent chromium at the site and are located
on the Hamblet and Hayes shore of the pond.
, • Salt Marsh,Coastal Bank and buFfer zone located between BuIlding J and Mill
Pond near the southem(downstream)end of Mill Pond.

3.2 Wetland Resource Areas
' The project site includes Mill Pond,a tidal pond surrounded by a Phrngmites australis
dominated salt mazsh. The site contains the coastal resource areas: Coastal Beach,
' Coastal Bank and Salt Marsh. There is a 100-foot buffer zone extending landward
from the limit of Coastal Bank. Mill Pond receives surface runoff by overland flow
and through a piped drainage system which conveys flows from the developed areas
t west of the site. These piped flows enter Mill Pond via two 4-foot box culverts
located beneath Jefferson Avenue. During outgoing tides surface flows leave Mill
Pond via two 4-foot box culverts connected by a series of piped connections to Salem
, Harbor.
According to the most recently issued FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map,the project
' site dces not contain Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage.
The lunits of wetland resource areas were delineated by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin,
' Inc.stafF in NovemUer 2001 and wnfirmed in a Determination of Applicability issued
by the Salem Conservaflon Commission on April 11,2002. A copy of tMs
determinafion is provided in Attachment C and depicted on Sheet 1 of the project ,
, plans.
At this time we wish to confirm the additional resource area Coastal Beach The
' following sections describe each resource area and the 100-foot buffer zone at the
project site.
, _..........._................................._....._............_......_..........._......_.._......_................_....................
3.2.1 Salt Marsh
, Salt marsh is defined in the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations at 310 CMR 10.32(2)
as "...coastal wetlands that extend landward up to the highest high tide tine,that is,the
' highest spring tide of the year,and is characterized by pinnts thnt are well adapted to or prefer
living in,saline soils".
' The marsh and surrounding uplands at the site are dominated by a very dense stand
of common reed(Phragmites australis).In addition to the dense stands of common
reed,vegetation within the salt marsh includes species typical of brackish and salt
' marshes,including saltwater cordgrass(Spartina alterniflora),black grass Quncus
gerardii),seaside goldenrod(Solidago semperoirens),rough-stemmed goldenrod
(Solidago rugosa),blue vervain(Ver6ena hastaYa),nodding smarriveed(Polygonum
' lapathifolium)and marsh orach(Atriplex patula). The vegetated uplands were
dominated by common reed and included gray birch(Betula populifolia),apple(Pyrus
malus),bittersweet nightshade(Solanum dulcamarn),glossy buckthorn(Rhamnus
' frangula),common buckthom(Rhamnus catharticn),Oriental bittersweet(Celastrus
orbiculatus),black cherry(Prunus serotina),staghorn sumac(Rhus typhina),multifora
rose(Rosa multiflora),and Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum).

, IlW Vanasse Hangen Bms[lin,[nc.
'
' The soils on the site are contaminated by chromium and are largely composed of
unconsolidated fill along the borders of tYie marsh.Topography around the salt
marsh varies due to the presence of fill both at the edge of development and
' surrounding the powerline poles.In most areas,the salt marsh is located at the base
of a steep fill slope.Within the powerline easement and on the north side of Mill
Pond,the fill slopes are less steep.
tThe limit of salt tolerant species was field delineated with pink flagging tape and pin
flags.The southem boundary of the marsh was defined by wetland flags numbered
' WF 1-100 through WF 1-150,starting at the culvert beneath the railroad tracks and
ending at the culverts at Jefferson Avenue.Flagging on the north side of the salt
marsh was numbered WF 1-200 through WF 1-217,starting at the culvert beneath the
' railroad tracks and ending at the southeast side of the powerline easement.
This boundary was compared with tidal data obtained from the National Oceanic
' and Atmospheric Admuustrafion(NOAA)to determine the limit of salt marsh at the
site.The highest high tide line was determined to be 5.5 feet',wMch is the spring
high tide for Salem Harbor. The limit of salt tolerant vegetation at the site occurred
� at roughly elevation 4 feet and correspond to the limit of salt marsh as defined by
310 CMR 10.32(2).
' _............................................................_........_................................_........_.__................................................................
3.2.2 Coastal Bank
' The Wetlands Regulations at 310 CMR 1030(2)define coastal bank as "...the seaward
face or side of any elevated Inndform,other than a coastnl dune,which lies at the Inndward
edge of a coastal 6each,land subject to tidal action,or other wetland".
' This definition is clarified in DEP Policy 92-1,which states: "constnl banks can be
inferred to be nssaciated with lowlands subject to tidal action or land subject to coastal starm
' flowage." Rule B of this policy further states: "For a constal bank with a slope greater
than or equal to 4:1 the top of coastal bank is that paint a6ove the 100-year fIood elevation
where the slope becomes less thnn 4:1."
� In this case,the entire site,including Mill Pond,is above the elevation of the 100-year
floodplain'. The lunit of coastal bank is therefore, the point where the slope becomes
, less than 4:1. The lirnit of coastal bank,as defined in these regulations,is depicted on
the project plans and was approved by the Salem Conservation Commission in an
Determination of Applicability issued on May 13,2002.

3.2.3 Coastal Beach
, Mill Pond contains the coastal wetland resource area Coastal Beach. Coastal beaches
are defined at 310 CMR 10.27(2) as:
' "unconsolidated sediment su6ject to wnve,tidal and coastal storm action which forms the
gently sloping shore of a body of salt water and includes tidal flats. Coastal beaches extend
' from the mean low water mark landward to the dune line,coasta!bank line or the seaward
edge of existing man-made structure,when the structures replace one of the above lines,
whichever is closest to the ocean."
' Mill Pond consists of unconsolidated sediment subject to tidal action and is regulated
as coastai beach. This land subject to tidal action a]so meets the more specific
' regulatory criteria for Tidal Flat which is defined as:
"any nearly level pnrt of a coastal beach which usually extends from the mean low water line
' (nndward to the more steeply sloping face of the coastal beach ar mhich may 6e separated from
the beach by land unde�the ocean."
� Coastal Beach(tidal flats) is present at the site downgradient of salt mazsh and
occupy the central portion of Mill Pond.
' The proposed remediation within the pond area l'united to the area above the
ordinary low water mark and are therefore not within Land Under the Ocean;which
is defined as the land seaward of the mean low water mark
1
_......................................................._....................
, 3.2.4 100-Foot Buffer Zone
The majority of the 100-foot Buffer Zone to Coastal Beach contains portions of two
' one-story brick buildings,fill slopes,pavement and Phragmites-dominated uplands.
� 4 Work Description
' The proposed remediation includes the excavation of approximately 870 cubic yazds
of sediment from Mill Pond,Salt Marsh and Coastal Bank and the removal of an
additiona1230 cubic yards of soil from the 100-foot buffer zone behveen Building J
' and Mill Pond.
This work will include installation of site peruneter controls,erosion controls,
' dewatering,excavation,dewatering and control and disposal of hazardous materials
at the site. The work will result in the unavoidable temporary alteration of
approximately 24,950 square feet of Mill Pond;2,050 square feet of salt marsh and

3,020 square feet of Coastal Bank. The following section describes the anticipated
I , construction sequence for the proposed remediaHon.
' 4.1 Construction Sequence
Implementation of the remedial altemative is anticipated to entail the following
� major steps:
➢ Mobilization—Contractor equipment and materials will be mobilized to the site.
In addition,field office trailers will be delivered,installed,and equipped with
' electricity,telephones,and other office equipment for use during the Project.
➢ Health and Safety-Throughout the remedy implementation phase,health and
' safety activities will be conducted to address potential worker and community
exposure to contaminated materials,such as by inhaling fugitive dust or
' particulates. A Health and Safety Plan(HSAP)will be developed that may
include,but would not be limited to: 1) installing high-visibility fencing to
establish the exclusion zone work area;2)posting signage and blocking off
, certain walking paths adjacent to the work area;3)application of dust
suppression and control measures as needed to maintain the air quality below
established standards;and 4) other typical health and safety protocoLs conducted
' during remediation activities,such as use of persona]protective equipment to
protect remediation workers.
➢ Preliminary Site Work—Preluninary site work includes the initial cutting of
' vegetation within upland areas to allow the proponent to begin the site
remediation as soon as possible.This phase of the Project will include work
, within the 100-foot�uffer zone to the Coastal Bank and preparation for site
access.
' ➢ Site Preparation—During this stage,site preparation activities,begun during the
Preliminary Site Work Phase will be extended to the entire Project site to allow
excavation of contaminated materials.The approximate azea disturbed during
, construction is shown on sheet 2 of the project plans. First,erosion control
measures will be installed and the vegetation in portions of the upland and
wefland areas will be cleared.
� ➢ Erosion and Sediment Control—Erosion and Sediment Control will be an
ongoing activity at the site. IniHa1 erosion controls(hay bale and silt fence
' ' barriers)installed during site prepazation will be supplemented by a water
exclusion structure at Mill Pond.All controls wIll be inspected on a daily basis
for effectiveness and safety.Additional erosion controls will be impiemented as
I ' necessary.
➢ Haul Road and Swamp Mats—A temporary gravel bed haul road underlain by a
' geo-textile fabric will be installed connecting the staging area with the proposed
' \VAqWATTENOeB2UD005N0� 8 Attachment A—Notice of Intent Narrative

�
dredge areas in Mill Pond. Silt fences and hay bales will be used to prevent
' erosion along the haul road. Swamp mats will be placed adjacent to and within
the two excavation areas at Mill Pond. Swamp mats will be moved as necessary
during the excavation.
�= ➢ Hydraulic Isola:ion—To allow up to eighteen inches to be excavated in the two
portions of Mill Pond,a water-inflated dam system will be installed around these
' azeas to prevent tidal flooding. The work azeas will be dewatered as necessary
by use of a sump pump.
' ➢ Pre-excavation Survey- Prior to the beginning of dredging within Milt Pond,
the contractor will complete a survey of the exisring mud flats to be altered to
allow the restoraHon of existing grades following remediation.
' ➢ Sediment Dewatering—The excavated materials from Mill Pond will require
dewatering prior to removal off-site to a licensed disposal facility. A dewatering
� area will be located on a paved portion of the site within the staging area as
shown on the project plans.Dewatering effluent will be captured and tested in
accordance with the MCP and the National Pollutant Dischazge Elimination
� System(NPDES)Permitting Program.
➢ Mill Pond aad Coastal Bank Excavation—Sediments and/or soils posing
� significant risk will be excavated to a maximum depth of approximately
18 inches using standard earthmoving equipment(e.g.,tracked excavator)or
specialized low ground pressure"amphibious"equipment(if necessary).The
� excavated materials will be transferred to dump trucks which will transport the
contaminated sediments via the haul road to a controlled area for testing.
� ➢ Dewatering Sump—If necessary,the contractor will excavate a shallow sump to
assist in dewatering the area to be dredged.This sump will be 12—24 inches
deep and wili be backfilled with clean dredge materials following remediation.
� ➢ Tidal Flat/Coastal Bank Restoration—Following the removal of contaminated
sediments sufficient to meet the remedial goals, the contactor will begin
� restoraHon of the coastal beach/ tidal flats by replacing the volume of dredged
sediments with clean high-organic content soils or sedunent. Every reasonable
attempt will be made to obtain clean dredge material from a local source to most
� closely replace the type of material removed from the pond. If suitable soils
cannot be obtained,manufactured organic soiLs will be used onsite. These soils
� will be manufactured off-site and will contain a muumum of fifty percent(50%)
organic matter. Replacement soils may be created by the mixture of cleaned
screened loam and clean leaf mulch.
1 ➢ Haul Road Removal—Upon the completion of the contaminated sediment
excavation from Mill Pond,the haul road will be carefully removed to prevent
� construction-related impacts to wetland resources.

�
➢ Upland Stabilization—Following the removal of the haul road,disturbed areas
will be reseeded with an erosion control seed mix selected to provide quick
germination and rapid natural stabilization of exposed soils.
��
➢ Southeastern Wetland and Buffer Zone Excavation(Area C)—The existing
wntaminated sediments requiring remediation from this area will be removed
upon the complerion of the Mill Pond excavatio:..
�
➢ On-site Sediment Transport—Excavated sediments will be collected from the
� excavators via dump trucks to the dewatering pad.The dump trucks will
prevent loss of sediment and/or water and will maintain a clean pathway in
order to permit reuse of the haul road material during site restoration.
� ➢ Verificafion Sampling—Verification sampling will be conducted to wnfirm the
limits of excavation in accordance with the remedial goals.
� ➢ Wetlands Restoration—Mill Pond excavation azeas will be restored as described
in"Wetland Replacement and Mitigation"section of this Notice of Intent.
� ➢ Coffer Dam Demobilization—The water-filled Coffer Dam will be deflated,
decontaminated,and then removed from site.
� ➢ Upland Stabilization— Following removal of the haul road,disturbed azeas will
be reseeded with an erosion control seed mixture.
� ➢ Demobilization—Once site restoration is wmpleted, the contractor will
� demobilize personnel and equipment from the site. All contaminated equipment
will be decontaminated in accordance with the MCP.No materials will be
disposed on within the onsite wetlands or 100-foot Buffer Zone.

5 Impacts to Wetland Resource Areas
� The proposed project is a remediation project designed to improve the quality of the
on-site and downstream wetlands by removing contaminated sediments. As a result
� the project will have a net beneficial impact on these wetland resource areas.
, The proposed remediation wIll result however,result in unavoidable temporary
� alterations of wetland resource areas.Based on the current environmental impacts of
the chromium contamination within the tidal flat and salt marsh sedunents,there is
no feasible alternative that would meet the remedial goals of tMs project other than
temporarily altering coastal beach,salt marsh and coastal bank. The Phase III report
� provides a detailed altematives analysis which examines a range of remedial

alternatives and concludes that the only acceptable alternative is the removal of
� contaminated sediments from Mill Pond. Proposed impacts to wetland resource
areas are summarized in Table 1 and described in the following sections.

� 5.1 Coastai Beach
The Coastal Beach within Mffl Pond will be directly impacted by the-installation of
� the water exclusion structure/coffer dam and by the dredging of approximately
870 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from an area approximately 24,950 square
, feet in size. As described above,the dredging will be accomplished by use of a
� tracked excavator. Surface sediments will be scrapped from the contaminated areas
, �, until the remedial goal is met. Following dredging,the coastal beach/mud flats will
be restored to their original elevation by the placement of clean organic soils.
� Adverse impacts wili be minor and temporary in nature and will include disturbance
and removal of sediment. The long-term impacts to Mill Pond will be beneficial and
� include a substantial reduction in the concentration of chromium contaminants in the
sediment resulting in a decrease in the potential for impacts to water quality and
wildlife that may use Mill Pond.
' The installation of the water exclusion structure will also be temporary and will
protect water quality in MIll Pond and downstream waterbodies by isolating the
� proposed dredging from undisturbed areas. This structure will facilitate the
remediation project by allowing work to occur without tidal flooding,substantially
reducing the size of the dewatering effort. The location and design of the control
� structure is shown on the Erosion Control plan,Sheet 3 of the project plans.

5.2 Salt Marsh
� The project includes three areas of salt marsh alteration. Areas C and D,as shown on i
the project plans,will be temporarily altered by the placement of swamp mats on the
� surface of the marsh. No excavation or placement of Eill is proposed in these areas.
Areas C and D encompass approxunately 1,720 square feet of salt marsh. The
proposed use of swamp mats will minimize potential impacts to the salt marsh while
providing the tracked excavator access to Mill Pond. The proposed unpacts will be
� restored at the complerion of the work in Mill Pond by restoring the original grades
of the marsh and allowing the disturbed area to regrow naturally.
�, The third area of salt mazsh alteraHon is the restoration of approximately 330 square
feet of marsh near the downstream end of Mill Pond,identified on the project plans
t as Area E. This area contains heavily contaminated sediments which must be
removed to achieve a condition of no significant risk under the MCP. The applicant
proposes to isolate the affected area of salt marsh,remove the contaminated
� sediments,restore the original grades with clean organic soil,and replant the
„ disturbed area with appropriate salt marsh species. The long-term effects of
temporary salt mazsh alteration will be improved wildlife habitat,water quality,and
� possibly improved productivity due to the removal of contaminated sediments.
Following remediation,Area E wffl be restored by the placement of clean organic
� soils and replanting by appropriate salt marsh species. Sheet 3 of the project plans
and Section 7.42 in this Notice of Intent provides details of the proposed restoration.
�
5.3 Coastal Bank
� The proposed site remediation will require the unavoidable alteration of Coastal
Bank adjacent to Mill Pond in three locations.The project includes the temporary
� alteration of 3,020 square feet of coastal bank to provide access to Mill Pond and
remediate Area E. AlteraHons to coastal bank will be minimized by the use of a well-
defined limit of work boundary. At the completion of the dredging and restoration
� of salt marsh,the disturbed coastal bank will be restored to existing surface grades
and reseeded with an appropriate seed mixture for erosion control and long-term
stability.

; 6 Compliance with Performance Standards
As described in the previous section,the proposed remediation requires the
� alteration of Coastal Beach,Salt Marsh and Coastal Bank. These temporary impacts
are proposed as a limited project under the provisions of 310 CMR 10.24('�(c)(6). The
following section describes how the project complies with the regulatory criteria for
' response actions permitted as Limited Projects.

�
, In addition to complying with the Limited Project requirements, the work complies
with the performance standards for work in each resource area to the greatest extent
practicable. Compliance with these standards is described in tMs section.
' 6.1 Limited Projects �
� The iegulations at 310 CMR 1024(�(c)allows the issuing authocity to issue an Ordec �i
of Conditions and impose such conditions for certain Limited Projects which will
� contribute to the interests of the Wetlands Protection Act but are unable to meet the
{ performance standazds for coastal wetland resources.
� As described in Section 6.2,the project complies with the performance standards for
work in Coastal Beach and Coastal Bank. All unpacts are temporary and will be
restored following remediaHon. However,the project cannot comply with all of the
� performance standards for Salt Marsh
During the project,access to Mill Pond will be achieved through temporary
� alteration of Salt Marsh at two locations by use of swamp mats (Locations C and D).
This disturbance will substantially reduce salt marsh productivity during
remediation. In addition,the excavation of contaminated sediments from Area E will
�, have a similar effect on the productivity wifilin that portion of the Salt Marsh.
These impacts,while temporary,prevent the project from complying with the
� performance standard at 310 CMR 10.32(3)which requires that "no project shnll
destroy nny po�tion of a snit marsh and may nat have nn adverse effect on the productivity of
the marsh."
� This section describes the performance standards for Limited Projects within coastal
resource areas and summarizes how the project complies with each.
' ��
The regulations at 310 CMR 1024(7)(c)6 permit limited projects for:

reduce conEamination to a leuel lower thnn that which is needed to achieve "No Significant
Risk"as defined in 310 CMR 40.0006(10)."
�
a) There are no practicable alternatives to the response actian being proposed that are
� consistent with the provisions of 310 CMR 40.00 and thnt would be less damaging to
resource areas. The alternatives analysis shall include:

� i. an aiternntive thnt does not alter resource areas...;
, The most highly contaminated sediments at the site are within Mill Pond.
The continued potential for exposure to these sediments creates a condition
; of significant risk as defined by the 310 CMR 40.00 requiring a response
action. The location of the contaminated sediment within the salt marsh and
coastal beach require excavation of these resource areas to remove the
�, contaminates. Direct access to the resource areas is therefore required.
Altematives which leave the contaminated sediments of Mill Pond in place
do not meet the project goals or the MCP because they do not create a
' condition of no significant risk.
i
ii. an assessment of niternatives to both temporary and permanent imyacts to
, , resource areas.
The proposed remedial action includes only temporary wetland impacts.
The only long-term wetland impact is the improvement in sediment and
� water quality resulting from the removal of approximately 870 cubic yards of
contaminated sediment This long-term net improvement aids in the
� capacity of the affected resource areas to protect the public interests of the
Wetlands Protection Act.
� The regulations conclude that "n comprehensive remedinl nction that is selected in
accordance with 310 CMR 40.0869 shall be deemed to have met the requirements of 310
CMR 10.24(7)(c)6.a."
� The proposed design altemative is a comprehensive remedial action that was
selected in accordance with the requirements of 310 CMR 40.0869 and meets this
� performance standard. A complete discussion of the remedial action and its
wmpliance with the MCP is provided in Attachment E. Additional information
regarding the rejected alternatives was provided in the Phase III report,previously
provided to the Conservation Commission and the Department of Environmental

The project has been designed to avoid wetland impacts to the extent practicable oy
� 1)isolating the remediation area from the remainder of Mill Pond thereby avoiding
potential water quality impacts downstream;2)removing the most highly
contaminated sediments to achieve a condition of no significant risk reducing the
� footprint of the project and potential resource area impacts;3)establishing a clear
lunit of work boundary;4)providing erosion and sedimentarion controls at the limit
of work and 4)restoring all temporary impacts to Coastal Beach,Salt Mazsh and

Marsh and Coastal Beach are all temporary and will be restored at the completion
of the remediation project. The project includes a detailed pre-excavation survey
� of the resource areas to be affected to assist in the restoration process. All
dredged areas within Coastal Beach will be back-filled to the pre-excavation
grades. Impacted Salt Marsh will also be restored to pre-existing conditions to
avoid any long-term changes in hydrology.
ii. best management practices shnll be used to minimize adaerse impacts during
� construction,including prevention of eTosion and siltation of resource areas in

� The remediation project includes the use of site control and mitigation measures
' designed to minimize adverse impacts to resource areas during construction.
These measures include the use of haybales,silt fence,swamp matts,a stabiliaed
� construction entrance/exit and a dewatering system designed to control discharge
water quality while preventing unnecessary wetland 'unpacts.
� Following remediation,all disturbed areas wID be stabilized and temporazy
controls removed once stabilizing vegetation has been established.
� iii. mitigating measures shall be implemented that contribute to the protection of the
interests of the Aet;
� The project includes mitigation measures to isolate the proposed remediation
from adjacent areas minimizing impacts. Dredging will be completed within a
, � cofferdam structure which will serve as a limit of work and allow work to proceed
under relatively dry conditions. This will minimize the potential for adverse
water quality impacts and contribute to the protection of the interests of the Act.
� iv. no access road,assessment or monitoring device,or other structure or activity shnli
restrict flaws so as to cause an increase in flood stage or velocity;
� The proposed remediation project does not include any access road across any
wetland resource area or any monitoring device or other structure which will
' restrict flows so as to cause an increase in flood stage or velocity. Mill Pond is a
tidal waterbody and therefore isolating a portion of the pond within a coffer dam
will not displace floodwaters to an adjacent property during the incoming tide.
� As the tide flows out of Mill Pond,the proposed cofferdam will not restrict flows
or cause an increase in flood stage or velocity.

use of a coffer dam to isolate and dewater the remediation area,swamp mats to
minimize the potential affects of construction equipment and a long-reach
' excavator to avoid unnecessary equipment movement within Coastal Beach.
' 6.2 Resource Area Performance Standards
This section describes the performance standards for Coastal Beach,Salt Marsh and
Coastal Bank and describes how the project complies with each. As described in
t. Section 6.1,the project is unable to comply with the performance standard for Salt
Marsh prohibiting the destruction or reduction of productivity of any salt marsh.
, However,the project complies with the performance standards for Limited Projects
and may be permitted under the regulations.
� __..............................................................................
6.2.1 Coastal Beach—310 CMR 10.27
� The Wetlands Regulations establish the presumption that coastal beaches are
significant to storm damage prevention,flood control and the proteclion of wIldlife
habitat. In addition,tne regulations presume that tidal flats are also significant to the
, protection of marine fisheries and,where there are shellfish,to land containing
shellfish.
� This Notice of Intent does not seek to rebut these presumptions of significance but
asserts that the project may be completed as a Limited Project designed to avoid
wetland impacts to the extent practicable and minunize and mitigate unavoidable

impacts as required by 310 CMR 10.53(3)(q). Nevertheless, the project complies with
� � all performance standards for coastal beach.
The regulafions at 310 CMR 10.27 prescribe three performance standards for work in
' coastal beach which are applicable to this project.
310 CMR 1027(3)requires:
� "Any project on a coastnl beach... shall not hnve an adverse effect by increasing erosion,
decreasing volume or changing the form of nny such coastnl beach or an adjacent or downdrift
' coastal beach."
The proposed project will meet this performance standard by restoring the existing
� landform of the coastal beach at the completion of Lke remediation project.
310 CMR 10.27(61 requires:
� n project on a tidal flat shall,if water dependent be designed and constructed,using best
available measures,so as to minimize adaerse effects... cnused b�:
� (a) alterations in water circulafion
' The project will not xesult in long-term changes in water circulation because it does
not include the construction of any permanent structure within Mill Pond or any
permanent changes in the bathymetry of the pond. Short—term alterations in water
, circulation caused by the installation of the coffer-dam will not result in any
permanent effect on water circulation because of the short duration of their tenure in
� the pond.
(b) alterations in the distribution of sediment grain size
I , The existing sediments within Mill Pond consist of high-organic content sediment,
highly mobile organic matter and fine sediments entering the pond via upland
� runoff. The pond sedunents are not subject to wave action,are relatively stable and
are not likely to serve as a sediment source for down gradient resource areas.
- Following remediation,the contractor will replace removed sediments with similar
� material.
' (c) changes in water quality,including 6ut not limited to,other natural fluctuateons
in the levels of dissolved oxygen,temperature or turbidity,or ather qollutants.
� The proposed remediaHon and restoration will have a long-term beneficial affect on
water quality in Mill Pond and downstream areas by the removal of contaminated
sediment and the removal of a significant risk to human health and ecological
� receptors. No long-term changes to natural fluctuations in the levels of dissolved

6.2.3 Coastal Bank-310CMR 10.30
, There are two sets of performance standards for Coastal Banks dictated in the
Massachusetts Wetlands Regulations(310 CMR 10.30)which apply to hvo functional
classes of Coastal bank.Coastal banks may be significant to storm damage prevention or
' flood control because it supplies sediment to coastal beaches,coastal dunes or barrier
beaches,310 CMR 10.30(3),or a coastal bank may be significant to to storm damage
prevention or flood control because it is a vertical buffer to storm waters,
� 310 CMR 1030(6).
Based on the project site IocaHon(approximately 3,000 feet west of Salem Harbor),the
� � coastal bank functions as a verHcal buffer to storms,not as a sediment source.
Work within coastal bank has been designed to meet the applicable performance
' , standards:
(6) Any pioject on such a coastal bank or within 100 feet landward of the top of such
� coastal bank shall have no adverse effects on the stability of the coastal 6ank.
The proposed remediation will have no long-term impacts on coastal bank
� because the disturbed areas will be restored upon completion of the project
and the area stabilized by erosion control and perennial grasses.

� 7 Mitigation
Tltis project,in its entirety,is mitigation for past wetland alterations by disposal of
' contaminated materials during the 70+years of operation at the site. No loss of any
wetland resource area is proposed and all direct impacts to resource areas will be
temporary. Mitigation measures proposed include the use of short-term
' construction-related controls designed to avoid potential wetland impacts were
practicable and mvumize unavoidable impacts. Long-term mitigation measures
include the removal of up to 1,500 cubic yards of contaminated soil and sediment
' from Mil1 Pond,salt marsh and the 100-foot buffer zone and the restoration of
disturbed salt marsh and coastal bank following the compietion of dredging work.
� Short-term mitigation measures include the installation of a construction entrance
and haul road,use of swamp mats and a temporary water exclusion structure to
allow work in the dry while muumizing the potential for water quality impacts in

7.1 Construction Dewatering and Water Diversion
� Excavation of sediments from Mill Pond must be done under dry conditions.This
requues separation of the work azea from the surface water of Mill Pond,and
� dewatering to remove inputs from groundwater and surface water discharges to the
work area.
I � Dewatering will be necessary to allow excavation of the wetiands in reasonably dry
conditions and to protect water quality during the construcHon period.If necessary,
extracted water will be treated prior to discharge to Mill Pond to meet relevant
' discharge standards.Depending on the suspended solids and trivalent chromium

I '
concentrations,treatment could include filtration, floccidation,and chromium
i ' reduction. An inflatable water-filled cofferdam will be installed at the limit of
proposed dredging in Mill Pond. Dewatering will be performed as needed until the
area is backfilled.
� 7.2 Stormwa±er Management
' Stormwater runoff at the project site will be controiled in accordance with the
standazds of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES)
1 administered by the U.S. EPA. Stormwater which Ealls within the disturbed areas
will be collected as part of the dewatering operations and treated prior to discharge
in accordance with applicable NPDES regulations. Stormwater runoff from the
� remainder of the site will be directed away from the remediation area to minimize
the volume of water requiring treatment. The dewatering effluent will be collected,
conveyed to the fractionation tanks for testing and treahnent if necessary prior to
� dischazge.
The project does not include any redevelopment,new development,new unpervious
� area or new permanent stormwater discharges. The temporary dewatering discharge
will be located outside all wetland resource areas and will be controlled by filter
bags,staked haybales and silt fencing.
� 7.3 Erosion and Sedimentation Control
' The propose remediation project will include a comprehensive erosion and
sedimentation control plan designed to isolate construction activities from wetland
resource areas outside the work area,avoid unnecessary wetland unpacts and
� minunize unavoidable impacts.
The project includes the alteration of approximately 30,000 square Eeet of land area
' and is below the one-acre threshold requiring an NPDES Nofice of Intent for
discharge of stormwater from construction activities.
� Erosion and sedimentation control measures proposed include the following:
Stabilized construction entrance—Access to the construction site will be provided
� through a single point of access. This entrance will include facilities to wash truck
tires prior to leaving the site and a crushed stone pad to facilitate drainage.
� Limit of work barrier—A cleady delineated limit of work bazrier will be established
at the site prior to the use of any earth moving equipment or alteration of any
, wetland resource azea. The barrier will consist of orange construction fencing or
' wooden snow fence as appropriate and will be backed by staked haybales and silt
fencing.The Iceation of the lunit of work barrier is depicted on Sheet G2 of the
, project plans.

' Staked haybales and silt fence- Prior to any excavation in the buffer zone or I
wetland resource area,the wntractor will install an entrenched haybale and silt fence
at the lunit of work. The location of tMs barrier is depicted on Sheet C-2 of the
' project plans.
Temporary access road-Early in the project sequence,a temporary access road will
� be constructed&om the existing paved areas of the site to the proposed dredging
areas. This temyorary access road will be underlain with woven geotextile as
appropriate where it crosses coastal bank and the edge of salt marsh to prevent ,
' unnecessary disturbance by tracked or wheeled vehicles. '
Temporary dewatering discharge-Surface runoff and groundwater collected within
' the wfferdam will be conveyed to a temporary dewatering facility installed within
the construction staging area. This faciliry will discharge treated flows ro the buffer
zone to Mill Pond using a"dirt bag"filter,crushed stone and staked haybales and
' silt fence. These devices,along with monitoring and control of the volume of
dewatering effluent discharged from the site will allow strict conhol of discharge
velocities and avoid unnecessary impacts to wetland resource areas.
' Swamp mats -Swamp mats will be used to provide tracked and vehicular access
from the upland to the dredge area. These mats will be installed at each salt mazsh
, crossing and will be removed upon completion of the dredging in each azea.
Erosion control seeding-Foilowing the removal of the temporary access road,
� disturbed upland soils will be seeded with a quick germinating erosion wntrol seed
mixture. The seed mix will contain the following species or appropriate substitutes:
creeping red fescue_(Festuca ru6rn),annual ryegrass(Lolium multi orum),timoth
fl Y
(Phleum pretense),white clover(Trifolium repens),IitUe bluestem(Schizachyrium
�
scoparius),red top(Agrostis alba),and sideoats grama(Bouteloua curtipendula).
� 7.4 Wetland Restoration
' Following remediation,wetland restoration will be required in three resource areas:
• Coastal Beach,
1 • Salt Marsh,and
• Coastal Bank
' In each case,the proposed restorafion is designed to remove any temporary structure
or fill,restore existing grades and promote the reestablishment of appropriate
wetland vegetation. The following sections describe the specific restoration
' necessary accomplish these goaLs in each affected resource area.

7.4.1 Coastal Beach '
' The alterations to coastal beach include the removal of approximately 800 cubic
yards of contaminated sediment. The actual volume of material to be removed will
' be determined in the field during dredging. Dredging will cease when the surface
sediment meets the remedial goals for chromium. We estimate that the dredging
will remove sediment to a depth of one foot below existing grades corresponding to a
' volume of approximately S60 cubic yards.
Following dredging,a similar volume of sediment will be replaced within the coastal
' beach to restore the pre-existing grades on the tidal flats. The contractor will attempt
to obtain suitable material from a]ocal dredging operation to most closely replace the
type of sediment removed from Mill Pond. If suitable dredged materials aze not
' available locally,the contractor will manufacture appropriate soils using a mixture of '
fifty percent(50%)screened loam and fifty percent(50%)clean organic matter. The
replacement soIl will be spread by tracked excavator but not compressed in any way.
' Following replacement of sediment within Mill Pond,the water-inflated coffer dam
will be removed during low tide to minunize the potential for localized scouring
� within the restored area.
_.........................._.............._.....__.................._..._..............._...................
' 7.4.2 Salt Marsh
The project includes the alteration of three areas of salt marsh,Areas C and D,
, totaling 1,720 squaze feet. These alterations will result from the temporary placement
of swamp mats to provide access for the tracked excavator used for dredging. No
excavation or placement of fill is proposed within the salt marsh. The expected
1 affect of the temporary alteration is lunited to the trampled vegetation and minor
displacement of soils caused by the weight of the excavator and swamp mats.
The proposed restorafion for Areas C and D is limited to the removal of the swamp
' ' mats and restoration of the pre-existing grades. Since there is no excavallon,
placement of fill or removal of vegetation within the salt marsh,the area will be
quickly revegetate following disturbance. The existing root stock will be sufficient
� to revegetate the marsh within one growing season.
' Salt Marsh Area E encompasses approximately 330 square feet and contains
' contaminated soil and sediment that must be removed from the site as part oF the
proposed remediation. Following this removal,the salt marsh will be restored by the
placement of clean organic soffs within the excavated marsh. Existing grades will be
� restored and the marsh will be replanted with salt marsh vegetation including
smooth cordgrass(Spartina ulternafirna),salt-marsh bulrush,(Scirpus robustus),black
grass Quncus gerardii),and spike grass(Distichlis spicata). Sheet G3 of the project
' plans provides a detail of the proposed salt mazsh restoration.

7.4.3 Coastal Bank
' During the proposed remediation,approximately 3,020 square feet of coastal bank
will be altered to provide access to Mill Pond by tracked excavators. The bank will
' be stabilized as necessary by flexible construction mats oc temporary fill. The
temporary fill,if necessary wlll be underlain by a woven geotexHle to ease removal
following remediation.
' Following remediation,all temporary fill and stmchzres will be removed from
Coastal Bank and the pre-remediation p,rades restored.A row of haybales will be
' irustalled at the bottom of coastal bank to isolate the salt marsh from the adjacent
disturbed soils preventing any eroded soils from entering the marsh. An additional
row of haybales will be installed in the middle of the slope to reduce runoff
, Disturbed soils will be seeded with a mixture of quick germinating erosion conlrol
annual grasses including: creeping red fescue(Festuca rubra),annual ryegrass
(Lolium muitiflorum),timothy(Phleum yretense),white clover(Trifolium repens),little
, bluestem(Schizachyrium scoparius),red top(Agrostis alba),and sideoats grama
(Bouteloua curtipendula)and a native wazm season grass mix incuding:Creeping red
fescue(Festuca rubra),big bluestem(Andropogon gerardii),shelter switchgrass
� (Panicum virgatum),little bluestem(Schizachyrium scoparius),deertongue(Panicum
clandestinum),indiangrass(Sorghastrumnutans),Canada wild-rye (Elymus
canadensis),silky wild-rye (Elymus villosus)and sand dropseed(Sporobolus
' cryptandrus).
Following seed application,clean straw hay will be spread on the seeded areas of
' coastal bank to help retain soil moisture and control potential erosion.

' 1.0 Introduction
Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation (Ciba) has been conducting response actions
' at the Hamblet & Hayes (H&H) facility on Colonial Road in Salem (the Site). Ciba
is a former owner of the facility and retained response action liability as part of a
private stock purchase agreement in September 1989. The facility is currently
' owned by UNIVAR, formerly Van Waters & Rogers Inc. (VW&R). This report has
been prepared to describe in detail the actions that will be undertaken to implement
the Response Action identified in the Phase III Evaluation ofAlternatives Report,
' meeting the requirements and following the guidance in 310 CMR 40.0850 for the
Phase IV Remedy Implementation Plan.
, The Phase I Initial Site Investigation Report was completed and submitted to
MADEP in September of 1997. The site was originally classified as Tier II in
September 1997, but was subsequently reclassified as a Tier IB site in August 1999
' after additional data was collected in 1998. A Tier IB Permit for the Site was issued
by iV1ADEP in March 2000. The Phase II Comprehensive Site Assessment Report
' was submitted January 25, 2001.
This report details the Response Actions that will be implemented io address the
' oil and hazardous ma.terial of potential concern at the Site that have unacceptable .
:isks associated with their distribution and concentration, as determined by the
Method 3 Risk Characterization which was documented in the Phase II Report.
' 1.1 Site Background General Site Information
' The Hamblet & Hayes Site, as defined by the Massachusetts Contingency Plan
(MCP) criteria, encompasses the H&H facility on Colonial Road, and portions of the
bordering properties to the east and north, owned by Massachusetts Bay Transit
' Authority �MBTA) and New England Power (NEP), respectively. The Site is located
in an industrial area, although residential properties are located within 500 feet of
the Site boundary. The Hamblet & Hayes property �the facility) is bordered to the
, north and northwest by a New England Power easement, to the northeast by Mill
Pond, to the east by the MBTA Castle Hill Rail yard, to the south by a lot and
' building owned by the Exeter International Realty Trust, and to the west by various
other commercial tenants. The actual extentS of the Disposal Site, as defined by the
MCP, are discussed in subsequent sections of this report.
' Figure 1-1 provides an overview of the Site and surrounding land use designations
based on the USGS Locus Map for the area. Figure 1•2 is a Site map identifying the
' locations of the buildings and their historical uses.

, 2.0 Environmental Media to be Addressed
The response actions to be undertaken were developed through the MCP Phase
' II/Phase III process and are specifically directed at removal of source material from
the Site in order to achieve a level of no significant risk. Contaminated soils will be
removed to eliminate the major source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the
' Site groundwater. Surface soils impacted with trivalent chromium will be removed
to eliminate potential for direct exposure. Sediments will be removed from the Mill
Pond to reduce the chromium concentration in the wetland sediments to an
, acceptable level, which was determined through the Method 3 Ecological Risk
Characterization (ERC) contained in the Phase II Comprehensive Site Assessment
Report. The ERC derived a chromium action level of 4,500 mg/kg in the pond
' sediments based on effects to prey abundance for wading birds. The response
actions for the impacted surface and sub-surface soils have been designed to address
' both surface soil exposure and groundwater risk issues.
Groundwater contamination at the Site is being addressed by direct source removal
actions because there is no completed pathway for exposure to this groundwater.
' Groundwater beneath the site discharges to Mill Pond, where the surface water has
been non-detect for site related contaminants. The potential for exposure to the site
' groundwater is very low, as documented in the Phase II Comgrehensive Site
Assessment Report.
' 2.1 Remedial Action Goals and Implementation Concept
The goal of the remedial action is to eliminate risk via removal of contaminated
II ' source materials, including surface soils, subsurface soils, and wetland sediments.
These removal actions will also improve groundwater quality at the Site by
eliminating mass flux from source material. There are monitoring wells at the site
' exhibiting significant contaminant concentrations, but there is no completed
pathway for exposure to this groundwater. Because there are no response actions
necessary to prevent exposure to contaminated groundwater, a source removal
, option is the most effective risk reduction measure.
Implementation of the Response Action will include�
' • Excavation of 220 cubic yards (yd3� of surface soil from the area between
� Building J and Mill Pond, followed by replacement with clean soil, grading
and vegetating. This action is designed to eliminate potential for direct
contact exposure to the impacted soil.
, • Excavation and off site disposal of 300 yd3 of subsurface soils from
beneath and proximate to the former building H underground storage
tank (UST) area, followed by replacement with clean backfill and repaving
, the area. This action is designed to eliminate the source material that has
3/3/03 3
�
'
'
impacted groundwater in excess of a groundwater VOC Upper
' concentration Limit (UCL). Dewatering during this action will also
remove and treat the impacted groundwater within the immediate source
area.
' • Hydraulic isolation and removal of approximately 860 yd3 of sediment
from Mill Pond. There are 2 locations within the pond specifically
' targeted for sediment removal based on total chromium concentration.
This action is designed to eliminate ecological risk.

' 3.0 Permitting Requirements
Permitting requirements for the Response Action implementation have been
' identified for the soil removal actions and the contaminated sediment removal from
the Mill Pond. Based on the project effecting Land Subject to Tidal Action in excess
of 12,000 square feet in addition to as much as 7,000 square feet of Bordering
' Vegetated Wetland, the following permits will be required to comply with local,
state, and federal regulations�
' • Wetlands Protection Act and Salem Wetlands Ordinance
• 401 Water Quality Certification
' • Department of the Army Section 10 and Section 404 Category II Permit
• Chapter9l DredgingPermit
' • Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Environmental
Notification Form
, . National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater
Discharge From Construction Activities
An Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation has been filed in order that the
' wetlands delineation can be completed up front to facilitate permitting and attempt
to avoid unnecessary project delay. The wetlands delineation was undertaken in
' November 2001 because this was a critical path item to obtaining Wetlands
Protection Act and Salem Wetlands Ordinance approvals, to which the remaining
permits are subsequent.
, There may be specific Response Action requirements made by permitting agencies
that will include detailed information or require modifications to the Response
' Action implementation plan. MADEP will be informed of any significant changes to
the scope of work or modifications to the current implementation concept that result
from requirements of any permitting agency.

' 4.0 Engineering Deaign
The engineering design has several objectives related to successful implementation
' in a manner that minimizes risk to site workers, the public, and the environment
during the remediation process as well as to provide the most effective contaminant
source mitigation. Specific objectives related to the source removal actions are�
, . Physical safety in excavation, handling and transport of the soils and
sediments to be addressed.
' • Control of fugitive emissions during remedial operations from dust and
volatilization.
' • Minimizing impacts of the remedial actions on current Site operations
• Minimizing environmental impact in the Mill Pond wetland during the
' sediment removal and subsequent restoration operations.
• Off site transport of the excavated materials and import of clean
' replacement fill in an efficient manner that minimizes environmental risk
and traffic hazards.
' 4.1 Overview of Response Actions/Project Technical Goals
The response actions selected for the Site through the Phase II/Phase III
' evaluations include removal of surface soils, subsurface soil, and sediments. The
surface soils and sediments are impacted by total chromium �trivalent form) and
the subsurface soils to be addressed are impacted with volatile organic compounds.
' There will be no treatment of these materials on Site to address the contaminaxits.
All the contaminated material will be transported off site for treatment/disposal.
The basic response action involves the following three media to be addressed.
' 4.1.1 Surface Soil
' Two hundred twenty (220) yd3 of surface soil behind Building J will be excavated as
indicated in the extents shown in Figure 4-1. The response action will remove and
replace the top foot of soil within the aerial extent indicated. The extent of this
' excavation has been determined based upon chromium concentration in unpaved
soils where airborne suspension and subsequent exposure are possible.
, Monitoring wells ABB•5 and ABB-5D are located within the aerial extent of the
surface soil removal. These wells will not be disturbed during the surface soil '
removal and will remain intact through backfill and restoration of the area. These
, two monitoring wells will be used for future sampling events discussed in Section
6.0.
'
' 3/3/03 6
I
'
'
4.12 Sub-Surface Soil
' Three hundred (300) yd3 of contaminated sub-surface soils will be removed from
the former Building H location as indicated in Figure 4-2, Figure 4•3, and Figure 4—
4. This source material has been the major source of organic contamination of the
' Site groundwater. Excavation in this area is complicated by a rail siding that will
require specific excavation, compaction, and backfill criteria be met for restoration
' and re•use of the siding after the remediation of soils is completed.
Soil screening techniques will be used to determine the excavation limit in the
, westerly direction beneath the rail spur once the spur is taken up to permit
subsurface access. Sampling conducted in this area indicated contaminated soil
requiring excavation extending up to the footprint of the rail line, and some soils
' requiring excavation are likely to extend beneath and beyond the current rail spur
location. Removing a section of the rail spur to permit excavation will allow the
excavation to continue to the point of ineeting the remedial objective.
' Specific requirements for backfill, compaction and restoration of the rail siding
affected by the excavation activities are detailed in Section 5.5.3.
' 4.1.3 Mill Pond Sediment
� Approximately eight hundred �870) total yd3 of sediment will be removed from the
two locations indicated in Figure 4-6. The excavation extents have been delineated
based on the remedial objectives detailed in the Phase II Ecological Risk
' Characterization, which set an action level for sediment removal of 4,500 mg/kg
chromium concentration. The outcome of the sediment removal with regard to the
chromium in the Mill Pond is discussed in detail in Section 6.0.
, The response action for all three media to be addressed is a straightforward
removal action with off site treatment and/or final disposal at an approved facility.
' There will be a requirement for dewatering of the wetland sediments on site prior to
bulk loading for transport. The amount of sediment dewatering necessary will be
, dependent upon the time of year the response action is undertaken and the weather
conditions in the month or so prior to the actual sediment excavation. Provisions
for management of water generated from dewatering are included in this
' implementation plan in Section 5.1.8.
' 4.2 Engineering Concepta and Design Criteria
4.2.1 Design Parameters
' The design parameters are based upon established excavation, materials handling,
and bulk transportation practices. In addition to these considerations the control of
, fugitive emissions has been evaluated and included.
' 3/3/03 7
'

42.2 Assumptions and Calculations
' Assumptions upon which the response actions have been defined are detailed in the
findings of the Method 3 Risk Human Health and Ecological Characterizations in
' the Phase II Report, which defined source material volumes that need to be
addressed to achieve a level of no significant risk. Additional evaluation was
conducted regarding attaining the most cost effective, long-term solution, which is
' removal of the appropriate mass of contaminants to achieve acceptable risk levels.
Some response actions in this plan for source material removal go beyond what the
Risk Characterization findings require to achieve a level of no unacceptable risk.
, These additional source removal actions are undertaken because they are
considered cost effective measures to address groundwater contamination beneath
the Site.
, The surface soil removal action is designed to eliminate potentially accessible,
unpaved soils that are impacted with total chromium in excess of the applicable
' MCP S-3/GW2 Standard of 5,000 mg/kg. Removal of soils above the S-3 stan3ard
eliminates potential risk associated with exposure to these soils.
, 422.1 Sub-surface Soil Asaumptiona
' The subsurface soil removal is designed to remove organic contamination that is a
continuing source to groundwater and to eliminate groundwater UCL exceedances.
Sampling in this area conducted subsequent to submittal of the Phase II Report
' indicates that the lateral migration of the organic contaminants has been limited by
low permeability clay that is present in and around the former Building H UST
area. Figure B-1 in Appendix B shows the locations and data from the sampling
, undertaken in preparation for sub-surface soil excavation design. Significant
organic contamination is present in the sands in and around the former UST area.
However, sampling in the surrounding clay indicates that the migration of
' contamination has been limited by the low permeability material in both aerial and
vertical extent.
'I ' Samples of the clay show that significant contamination has not migrated vertically
through the silty sand and clay that resides at a depth of about 12 feet below grade.
The distribution of the VOC 53/GW3 exceedances �methylene chloride, 1,1,1-
' trichloroethane, trichloroethene, and tetrachloroethene) that are targeted for
removal show that a significant amount of overburden can be removed to expose
' the soils that will be removed. For practical purposes, the proposed excavation will
' remove contaminated soils from the Building H UST area to the maximum depth
feasible, which will include soils a few feet below the water table, with an attempt
, to reach a maximum depth of 15 feet. Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 show section views
of the sample distribution and the exceedances targeted for excavation.
� t The lateral extent of the excavation has been delineated based on 53/GW3 soil
standard exceedances for organic contaminants. Soils in the former Building H
' 3/3/03 8
'
, Area exceeding the S3/GW3 standard for any organic target analyte will be removed
, for off•site disposal. This approach to defining the limit of soil excavation was
derived based upon removal of material which is a potential continuing source to
groundwater, and is a more conservative approach to removal of soil than what
' would be required based on the Method 3 Human Health Risk Characterization
alone. The approach utilized for delineating the excavation limits is conservative
because some soils that do not represent an unacceptable risk are going to be
' removed. However, this response action for soils is designed to address
groundwater risk by removal of source materials in lieu of implementing
groundwater treatment. Ciba has considered the opportunity for including
, addition of anaerobic substrate to the bottom o£ the excavation prior to backfilling
this area. This additional effort at remediation of residual contaminants is
, discussed further in Section 5.5.3.
The aerial extent of the sub•surface excavation covers approximately 1200 square
' feet and the vertical interval to be removed is anticipated to be approximately 7 feet
in vertical extent, for a total of approximately 300 cubic yards. Figure 4•2 shows the
aerial extent of the excavation based on the measured S3/GW3 exceedances. The
' western side of the excavation, adjacent to the rail siding, will be terminated based
on field screening techniques, and the limit of excavation may extend beneath and
beyond the siding as necessary.
, Appendix A contains the analytical data and analysis used to delineate the extents
of the sub-surface soil removal that are based on S3/GW3 exceedances. The data in
' Appendix A was collected after the Phase II and Phase III Reports were submitted
to MADEP.
, , 4222 Sediment Volume Aasumptions
, The sediment response action is designed to remove sediments from the wetland
that have total chromium in excess of the risk derived action level of 4,500 mg/kg.
The areas targeted for remedial action have been delineated based on several
' rounds of sediment sampling and the aerial extents of the sediments to be removed
are shown in Figure 4-5. Comparison of the sediment data collected over time
clearly indicated that there has been a redistribution of spatial chromium
' concentration over time. In order to confirm that the areas delineated for sediment
excavation are still appropriate, a grid sampling of the pond was undertaken in
November 2002 to determine whether updating of the excavation extents was
, necessary. The sample locations and associated total chromium results used to
assess the current chromium concentration data across the pond are shown in
Figure 4-6. Samples were collected from the upper foot of sediment at the locations
' indicated and analyzed for total chromium. Approximately 83 samples were
collected for this effort. Laboratory data is presented in Appendix A.

42.3 Proposed Layouts for R,emedial Actiona
' Figure 4-7 shows the proposed layout for the excavation, staging, dewatering and
bulk loading for the material to be removed from the Site. The gravel haul road for
sediment removal runs along the east side of Buildings J/G at the top of the slope,
' as shown in Figure 4-7. Soils and sediments removed for off-site disposal will be �
bulk shipped by truck from the Site.

' 4.3 Site Specific Characteristics
Site specific characteristics have been considered in developing the implementation
plans for the remedial actions in order to minimize impacts to site operations, the
' community, and the wetland habitat surrounding Mill Pond. The physical and
chemical characteristics of the soils and sediments to be removed have also been
' evaluated in developing the overall implementation plan.
4.3.1 Response Action Effects upon Existing Site Operationa
' The existing Site operations include intermittent truck and tanker storage in the !
area east of the rail siding where the response actions are going to be undertaken.
' Coordination with the Site operations personnel will be conducted and the effect of
the response actions to the current site operations is expected to be minimal.
' 4.32 Site Drainage Features
The operational facility of the Site is entirely paved. Storm water at the Site is
' collected through a series of catch basins that discharge into Mill Pond through a
twelve inch diameter outfall line located between Building J and the existing
culvert at the MBTA railway property. The unpaved portions of the Site, which are
' between the active facility and the Mill Pond wetland, all drain directly to the pond
down a steep embankment from the edge of the facility. An unpaved access road to
be constructed along the east side of Buildings J/G will not change the drainage
' features in this area.
The soil removal actions will not change any existing grades in either the psved
' facility where sub-surface soils will be excavated or the unpaved areas from which
surface soils will be removed. All paved areas disturbed during the Response Action
' will be repaved with asphalt after the excavation and backfill operations are
completed. No paving of currently unpaved areas will be conducted as part of the
Response Action. The haul road along the east side oF the Building J/G complex will
' be removed once the sediment removal has been completed.
1 4.3.3 Natural R,esources
An evaluation of natural resources was conducted during previous phases of site
assessments, including the classification of the Mill Pond surface water body and an
� evaluation of wildlife species using the wetland, with emphasis on any endangered
species. The surface water body is not used for harvesting or recreation and has no
navigable inlet or outlet. There have been no endangered species observed in the
' Mill Pond wetland.

'
4.3.4 Local Development/Conservation Issues
� Issues related to local development and conservation will be considered and
incorporated into the remediation implementation as necessary pursuant to
approvals required from the Salem Conservation Commission (Wetlands Protection
' Act and Salem Wetlands Ordinance). These approvals are specifically related to the
sediment removal action in Mill Pond. There are no development issues with the
' on•site soil removal actions because no buildings are being erected or demolished
during the remediation. The current grades in the locations of soil removal will be
restored after the excavation and backfilling is completed.
' 4.3.5 Soil, Sediment, and Groundwater �haracteristics
' The Site and adjoining MBTA rail yard are generally flat with an elevation of
approximately 10 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD). The surface '
slopes to Mill Pond to an elevation of less than 5 feet NGVD. The Mill Pond '
' wetlands are contiguous with the main site, and are affected by both tidal
fluctuations and runoff discharges. The majority of the Site is paved, with runoff
directed to Mill Pond through a series of storm water drains.
� The Site is located in the North Shore Coastal Drainage Area of the Coastal
Drainage System. Groundwater is present beneath the Site at depths ranging from
, 5 to 12 feet below ground surface (BGS).
' 4.3.5.1 Soil Stratigraphy
Because of the long history of varying industrial uses and construction at the Site,
, the amount of fill material below grade variea in depth and composition. Fill
material is found to be sandy or gravelly sand with silt. The native soils below vary
from highly transmissive gravelly sands to thinly laminated sandy silts with some
' clay. Boring ABB•101 encountered clay at 28 feet BGS, but this clay was not
confirmed in other borings in the same vicinity, and Boring SI•99•02 was advanced
to a completion depth of 48 feet BGS without encountering clay.
' Bedrock in the area of the Site has been mapped by the USGS as the Salem-Gabbro-
Diorite (Zen, 1983) The Salem Gabbro-Diorite outcrops over a large area in eastern
' Massachusetts and exhibits a wide range of texture and composition among
locations that results from a complex igneous and structural history. Although
several fractured bedrock outcrops have been observed in the vicinity of the Site, no
' ' borings have determined the depth to bedrock directly beneath the Site. The
deepest boring drilled at the Site, SI•99•Ol, did not encounter bedrock before this
boring was terminated at a depth of 48 feet.
'
'
' 3/3/03 12
'
'
4.3.52 Mill Pond Sediments
� The pond is quite shallow, with the depth of the pond varying due to the tidal -
influence. Much of the pond sediments are exposed or only slightly submerged at �
' low tide. The sediment in the pond is a deep, silty organic muck.
4.3.5.3 Groundwater
, Groundwater at the Site is not currently used as a source of potable water, and it is
not in close proximity to a public or private water supply. The groundwater beneath
' and downgradient of the Site is not within a Current Drinking Water Source Area,
it is not within an Interim Wellhead Protection Area for a public water supply, it is �
not within the Zone A of a Class A surface water body used as a public water
' supply, and it is not within 500 feet of a private water supply well. There will be no '
future use of Site groundwater as a potable source, and this restriction will be
maintained through an Activity and Use Limitation �AUL).
' Depth to groundwater fluctuates seasonally and is typically from 5 to 12 feet below
the grade of the paved on•site areas. Groundwater in the vicinity of the Site
� generally moves toward and eventually discharges into Mill Pond.

' 5.0 Construction Plans/Specificationa
The following subsections describe the specifics of the excavation, materials
' handling on Site, and transportation for final disposal. There are no facilities,
utilities, or structures required for the planned response action so no construction
details are required as part of this implementation plan.
'
5.1 Soil Excavation and Handling
� The purpose of the Excavation and Handling Plan is to present the methods and
procedures for excavation of contaminated soil, procedures for shoring/temporary
' support systems, and methods for backfilling, compacting, and grading. Ciba will
be responsible for obtaining any and all permits necessary for excavation at or near
utility poles and underground utilities, and all other permits required to complete
1 the work in accordance with Federal, State and Local Municipal regulatory
requirements. Open excavations will be fenced off, barricaded, or flagged to
delineate this hazard.
, All excavation and handling work is dependent on field c�nditions and rnay be
subject to change at any time following approval of the Licensed Site Professional
, (LSP) of Record for the Site.
All excavations or trenches 4 feet or greater in depth shall be appropriately
' benched, shored, or sloped according to the procedures and requirements set forth
in OSHA's Excavation standards, 29 CFR 1926.650, 1926.651, and 1926.652.
Shallow excavations will be completed first and lead into the excavation of the
' deeper cuts. These deeper excavations will occur in stages which allow for any
required benching/sloping while at the same time maintaining access for disposal
transportation and minimizing any secondary handling or stockpiling operations.
� Excavations or trenches 20 feet deep or greater must have a protective system
designed by a registered professional engineer. The maximum excavation depth
L anticipated in the subsurface soil removal is 16 feet.
The area of open excavation will be limited to a maximum 25' x 25' with additional
� 25' x25' opened for areas of benching/sloping as required by final depth of
excavation and/or safety considerations. If odors are determined to be
unmanageable with an open area of this magnitude, excavation will be scaled back
1 to facilitate odor control. Additional measures, such as a sprayed foam or polymer,
will be available for odor control if necessary. There will be no stockpiling of
material that is going to be shipped off-site for disposal. The use of stockpiles for
' overburden soils will be minimized.
In the event that stockpiling of contaminated material becomes necessary it shall be
� placed entirely on a base composed of an impermeable material, and shall be
' 3/3/03 14
,
'
immediately covered with the same material or other suitable material so as to
1 minimize the infiltration of precipitation, volatilization of contaminants, and
erosion of the stockpile. Any cover material used shall be properly secured and
possess the necessary physical strength to resist tearing by the wind.
' The three areas of excavation (surface soil, subsurface soil, and wetland sediments)
will be undertaken consecutively rather than concurrently. The surface soil
' removal will facilitate the sediment removal in that grubbing and installation of an
access road along the east side of Buildings G/ J will be integrated with the surface
� soil removal and restoration of the Tri-Chrome area behind Building J. The
subsurface soil removal and backfilling of the Building H area excavation will be
the last part of the remedial action, conducted after the sediment removal is
' completed and the dewatering facilities are dismantled.
5.1.1 Surface Soil
' The surface soil is a relatively straightforward removal action of the upper foot of
material from the upper pond bank behind Building J. The aerial extent is shown
� in Figure 4-1. These soils have been impacted with trivalent chromium, which
presents a human health exposure concern with respect to airborne dust because
these soils are outside of paved areas.
' A track excavator will be used to strip vegetation over the extent oi the surface soil
removal boundaries. This material will be chipped and stockpiled for later re-use,
, as described in Section 5.2.
The excavation method will involve scraping ba.ck the top foot of overburden and
� direct loading of this material into 10 wheel dump trucks for disposal. The soils will
be wetted using potable water as necessary to eliminate dust generation during the
handling and loading operations. There will be no stockpiling of soils that require
� off-site disposal.
� 5.12 Subsurface Soil
The subsurface soils requiring response action are impacted with a suite of volatile
� organics, and therefore some measures may become necessary to control
volatilization losses during the excavation and handling of these soils. Several
types of commercially available temporary barriers to volatilization can be applied
� (foaming agents and polymers sprays) and provisions will be made to mobilize an
application system for one of these products to the Site during the excavation of the
sub•surface soils. Action levels for determining the level of personal protective
' � equipment necessary and determining if and when protective barriers will be
employed to limit volatilization are detailed in the Health and Safety Plan in
Appendix A.
'
' 3/3/03 15

'
The groundwater table in the area of sub-surface soil removal varies from 5 to 12
� feet below grade, fluctuating seasonally. Significant VOC mass resides within the
capillary fringe and within the upper few feet of the water table, where significant
contaminant mass has accumulated in a low permeability soil horizon. Dewatering
I equipment will be set up during the excavation and attempts will be made to extend
the excavation to 14 to 16 feet below grade in order to remove the targeted soils.
� Dewatering will be performed utilizing a sump in the excavation to maintain as dry
an excavation as possible and permit soil removal to targeted depths as deep as 16'
, (anticipated maximum excavation depth). Groundwater encountered or collected in
the bottom of the excavation will be extracted mechanically using a gasoline or
electric powered trash pump. A sump pit will be constructed in the corner of the
' excavation and a perforated drum/can will be inserted into the sump area along
with a suction hose with a filter basket end. The sump will then be filled with clean
stone to prevent clogging of the suction hose.
, A settling tank and granular activated carbon units will be employed to treat
extracted groundwater to meet Federal Maximum Concentration Limits (MCLs)
� prior to discharge into the Site storm•water system, which eventually drains into
Mill Pond. The treatment system will remove orgamc contaminants to meet Federal
MCLs (5 ug/1 for both trichloroethene and tetrachloroethene). The water treatment
� system will also be used to treat water removed from the sediments excavated from
Mi11 Pond, although these operations will be conducted sequentially to these waste
streams wi.11 not be combined.
� The groundwater treatment system has been sized conservatively, able to treat
flows up to seventy (70) GPM and treat groundwater from dewatering operations
, impacted with the aite related organic contaminants at levels measured in well
HLA•201, which exhibits the highest contaminant concentrations and is located in
the center of the area to be excavated. Appendix D provides water treatment system
1 details.
II� � 5.1.3 Sediment
The sediments will be excavated using an extended reach track excavator.
I�I, � Excavation of the upper foot of sediments will commence after the excavation area
has been hydraulically isolated and the area dewatered. Sediments will be direct
loaded onto 10 wheel dump trucks and transported on-site to a specially constructed
j � dewatering pad on a paved area of the site. After dewatering, the sediments will be
loaded for off-site disposal. The following sections detail the major elements of
sediment removal and handling.
I', � If necessary for access to the Mill Pond bank behind Building J, the elevated
concrete pad that was the base for the former Building I spray dryer will be broken
� apart and removed during the surface soil excavation. If this pad is removed, any
, 3l3/03 16
,
II �
soils beneath this structure that are visibly impacted with chromium will be
I excavated and replaced with clean backfill. If the concrete pad is removed during
the remedial activities the area will be paved over with asphalt during site
restoration activiiies.
�
5.1.4 Excavation Delineation
1 During the Phase II Response Actions sampling and analysis of the chromium
concentration distribution in Mill Pond it became apparent that some redistribution
of the sediment chromium concentration had taken place over time. This sediment
� chromium concentration redistribution was evidenced by comparison between data
that was several years old and more recent sample results. This indicated the
' necessity to conduct a comprehensive sediment sampling event prior to undertaking
the sediment removal action, to confirm that the areas targeted for removal will
actually be contained within the planned excavation extents. Final adjustments to
' the exact excavation footprint and volume of sediment targeted for removal have
been made based on a grid sampling approach that was used in the fourth quarter
of 2002. The extents of the sediment excavation have also been adjusted to utilize
� relatively straight line boundaries to reflect the limitations of curvature for the
water dam type of hydraulic barriers that will be employed.
' �igure 4•6 shows the grid of locations where sediment samples were collected an�
analyzed for chromium. Approxiinately 80 samples were analyzed to provide a
couiprehensive and up to date data set of the chromium distribution in Y,he pond
' using a relatively fine sample grid. These data were used as a check of the current
sediment excavation extents to allow for adjustments to achieve the remedial goal of
removing sediment with total chromium greater than 4500 mg/kg.
� There are New England Power Company high tension lines over the sediment
removal areas S1 and �2. The elevation of these lines is high enough over the work
, ' areas that there is very limited potential for excavation equipment contact. with
these lines. The potential for contact between excavation equipment brought to the
Site and the overhead power lines will be assessed by the health and safety officer
� for every piece of equipment utilized in the wetland excavation areas. This is
discussed in greater detail in Appendix A.
� 5.1.5 Haul Road and Swamp Mats
1 A temporary haul road will be constructed from the paved portion of the site that �
will be used for a work area to the areas of sediment excavation. The haul road will �
be constructed with a geo-textile fabric placed beneath the crushed stone road bed '
' � to facilitate removal of the gravel haul road after the remediation work is complete, ;
and also to stabilize the gravel roadway during construction. A combination of silt
fence and hay bales will be placed as needed for erosion control. The hay bales will
'
, 3/3/03 17
,
1
also clearly delineate the limits of the haul road and help to prevent equipment
1 from impacting any vegetated areas outside of the roadway extent.
The crushed stone will be placed after installation of the geo•textile and the erosion .
' control. The road bed will be approximately six (6) inches of crushed stone depth in
the upland portion that runs along the back side of the production building complex
(Figure 4-5). Construction of a ramp at the transition slope between the upland and
, the wetland edge will be necessary to permit the transport trucks to reach the
excavation locations and permit direct loading by the excavator.
i
� Swamp mats will be placed at the point of access to the open water where the
sediment excavation will be conducted, and also out in the open water area, as
necessary. These mats are constructed of pressure treated 8" x 8" timbers bound
� together in mats of fourteen (14) foot length and eight (8) foot width. The mats are
constructed with cable eyelets for lifting and placement by a track excavator.
, 5.1.6 Hydraulic Isolation
� A water inflated Aqua-Barrier dam system will be used to provide sufficient
stabilization and h,ydraulic containment to permit the upper 12 to 18 inches of
sediment to be removed from the targeted areas. These barriers are manufactured
� in standard 25 and 150 foot lengths.
The inflated dam will be of polyester reinforced heavy gauge polyvinyl chloride
' (P.VC} construction and will have the ability to stand alone, without any ekternal
:nechanical or gravitational stabilization devices. The water inflated dam consists of
a self-contained single tube with an inner restraint baffle and diaphragm
, stabilization system. These units are constructed as single tubes with a perforated
inner restraint diaphragm running the length of each unit, which is the basic
structural element that prevents them from rolling when exposed to unequal water
' or hydrostatic pressures from the outside.
When filled to its recommended height the barrier will conform to and seal against
� the sediment surface at the pond bottom. The flexibility and impermeability of the
barrier creates the water-tight seal which then allows for dewatering of the inside
area. The PVC material is in•field repairable using a vinyl adhesive and patch
, material. The dam will be equipped with threaded fill and drain ports for rapid
filling and draining. The dam sections will be equipped with end lifting loops for
1 placement by equipment. Individual sections of dam will be interconnected by
overlapping the end of the units a specific length in order to effect a watertight
connection. No additional means for interconnection of dam sections will be
' required.
The maximum depth of water the barrier can effectively hold back is 75% of the
� , height of a fully inflated water-inflated dam. It is required that a 25% freeboard
, 3/3/03 18
, II
1
capacity be maintained in static water environments during dewatering operation.
1 A water dam of two (2) foot height will be used in the Mill Pond.
Surface water (precipitation runoff� will be directed away from sediment removal
, areas during excavation so as to prevent surface water run-on from accumulating in
excavations.
1 Excavated slopes and backfill surfaces will be protected to prevent erosion and
sloughing. Excavation will be performed so that the site and the area immediately
surrounding the site will be continually and effectively drained.
�
5.1.7 On-Site Sediment Transport
� Sediments will be moved from the excavation site to the dewatering pad using 14
yd3 capacity dump trucks equipped with sealed beds and tailgates with rubber
' gaskets. This equipment will prevent loss of sediment and/or water during
transport along the haul road and maintain a clean pathway in order to permit re-
use of the haul road material during site restoration.
1 5.1.8 Sediment Dewatering
� The sediment removed from Mill Pond will require dewatering prior io being loaded
for bulk shipment. A dewatering pad will be constructed on a paved portion of the .
Site. The dewatering pad(s) will be constructed by placing a 30-mii liner on the
' asphalt paving, placing a gravel drainage layer with a slope to a sump at one end of
the pad, and covering the gravel layer with a permeable fabric onto which the
sediment will be placed to drain. A pump installed in the drainage sump wiil
, convey the sediment pore water through the water treatment system as it is
collected.
' A water treatment system consisting of a settling tank followed a sand filter to
remove suspended particulates and a set of two (2), 1000 pound granular activated
carbon filters operated in series will be utilized to remove any fine grained
� materials and site related contaminants either dissolved or suspended in the ,
decanted water. The water treatment system is a skid mounted unit preloaded with j
I , carbon prior to being delivered to the site. After the Response Actions are ,'
completed, the granular carbon will be removed from the treatment vessels,
� characterized, and disposed of along with the soils from the sub•surface soil
; � excavation at an approved facility.
Sediment will be sufficiently dewatered to pass paint filter test, EPA Method 9095,
' prior to being loaded for off site disposal. If necessary the sediment will be stabilized
with kiln dust or equivalent water absorbent material prior to off-site disposal.
1 Treated water will be discharged to Mill Pond in accordance with the NPDES
specified treatment standards. The system is designed to meet USEPA discharge
, 3/3/03 19
,
'
standards for discharge to surFace water. Chromium in the discharge water will not
� exceed 2 mg/1, which is the GW3 standard.
Appendix D contains estimation of the water volumes requiring treatment and
' estimation of contaminant loading to the water treatment system and a schematic
of the water treatment system.
' 52 Vegetation and Debria Handling
, Plant materials excavated during clearing and grubbing operations will be chipped
and stockpiled temporarily. This vegetative material will be used for ground cover'
during restoration activities. There are no site related chemical hazards related to �
, the plant materials that will be chipped and stockpiled for later re•use during site
restoration activities.
, 5.3 Odor and Dust Control Measures
Control measures for dust will be utilized during the excavation and handling of the
, chromium impacted surface soils. During all excavation activities dust suppression
techniques including water sprays will be used to condition the soils if dry or dusty
conditions occur. A potable water line will be available should the soils be dry
, enough to require wetting at the time of excavation.
The excavation of VOC impacted soils from the former Building H UST area may
' require emission control measures. The necessity of application of a barrier agent
sucl-. as a polymer fosm product will be determined based on criteria detailed in the
� Health and Safety Plan in Section 6.0. A portable unit for application of an
emission control product will be available in the event that simple wetting of soils is
not sufficient to control volatilization and odors.
' 5.4 Transportation and Disposal
� As stated in the preceding section, the soils and sediments that are excavated at the
Site will be transported utilizing 10 wheel dump trucks. Soils will be shipped in
covered containers to control odors and volatile losses from the subsurface soils
� shipped from the Site.
Truck transport of the backfill materials into the site will also be necessary. Clean
' backfill soils for replacement of the surface and subsurface soils that are removed !
will be brought from a supplier located close to the site in order to minimize risks
associated with over the road transportation. Approximately 30 truckloads of �
' backfill soil will be required to replace surface and subsurface soils removed from '
the Site.
�
, 3/3/03 20
,
,
The local route utilized for trucks exiting the site with material for off site disposal
, and for bringing backfill material into the site will be the same. The local route
connects the site to Route 128 via Lowell Street, and this local route will be used in
both directions. Route 128 will be used to reach disposal facilities via Route 90,
' Route 93 or Route 95, as necessary.
' 5.4.1 Facilitiea Selected for Ultimate Diaposal
Facilities utilized for ultimate disposal of the soils and sediments removed from the
, Site have been pre-selected by Ciba, based on the company's list of approved ;
disposal facilities that were previously audited and accepted. All the chromium �
impacted materials shipped from the site are acceptable for disposal in a Subtitle•D '
' , non-hazardous landfill. The subsurface soils from the former Building H area may
require pre-treatment in order to meet current LDRs, and will be disposed of in a
Subtitle-C permitted landfill.
' Facilities selected for off site disposal are shown in Table 1. Because Ciba is the
party undertaking the Response Action, the off site disposal facilities indicated for ;
, use have been pre•approved by a Ciba internal facility audit process, in addition to
RCRA and applicable Siate permitting.
, The final disposal destination for the sub�urface soils may not necessarily be the
same as �hat for the surface soils and the sedimenta, due to the possibility of
pretreatment rzquirements for the VOC contaminated soil to,meet current Land
' Disposal Restrictions (LDRs) by a permitted facility.

, 5.42 Materials Tracking and Manifesting R,equirementa
The chromium impacted surface soils and sediments removed from the Site are not
' classified as a hazardous waste, and therefore do not require manifesting as such.
, 3/3I03 21
,
, The sub•surface soils may or may not be classified as hazardous, so as a
� conservative measure these soils will be manifested and tracked as a hazardous
waste and treated to meet LDRs by a permitted facility. The surface soils and
sediments will be transported under Bill of Lading documentation.
' 5.5 Site Restoration
' Three (3) separate areas of the site will require restoration after the Response �
Actions are completed. The sediments removed from the Mill Pond will not be
replaced during site restoration activities. The surface soils removed will be f
' replaced with clean backfill and topsoil and re-seeded at the original grades. The �
on-site area of subsurface soil removal will be paved over with asphalt after final
1 backfill and compaction is completed.
Locally available clean fill material will be used to replace the surface and
' subsurface soils that are removed in the response action. Only satisfactory clean
backfill obtained from an off-site borrow source will be placed. Fill materials will
not contain scrap metal or wood; utilities, pipes, concrete, �r asphalt. Frozen
' materials will not be placed in the excavations, nor will backfill be placed on snow,
ice, standing water, or frozen ground surfaces. Backfill will aot be placed wheri the
temperature is below 32° F.
, Spreading of fill will be accomplished by a track bulldozer or utility backhoe. Fill
material will be compacted by vibratory drum rollers or smaller double drum walk
� behind rollers. Heavy self•propelled compaction equipment will not be used within
40' of an existing structure, smaller self-propelled walk•behind equipment shall be
used with thinner lifts closer to existing buildings. If vibration becomes a problem,
, compaction will be conducted utilizing a static rolling technique using a sheepsfoot
roller (without vibration). Prior to compacting, each layer will be plowed, tilled, or
otherwise broken up; moistened or aerated; and thoroughly mixed, as necessary, to
� obtain the adequate moisture content and consistency for compaction.
The specific restoration activities for the sediment removal areas, the surface soil
� removal area above the pond bank, and the sub-surface soil removal area in the
former Building H area are described in the following paragraphs.
� , 5.5.1 R.estoration of Surface Soil Removal
' The area of surface soil removal will be brought back to the original grade using
locally available clean fill and six (6) inches of topsoil. Restoration of the unpaved
area will include backfill, hydroseeding, and installation of silt fencing at the base
' of the slope to prevent soil from washing into the pond. The surface soil will be
compacted as necessary prior to hydroseeding. The plant material chipped during
clearing activities prior to excavation will be used as final ground cover to protect
' the newly seeded area.
3/3/03 22
'
,
' 5.5.2 Restoration of Sediment Removal Areas
, The restoration tasks for the wetland area will be removal of the water filled
barriers, removal of the haul road materials that were installed for access to the
sediment removal areas, re•grading of any areas as necessary, and installation of
, temporary erosion control (silt fencing) on the down•slope side of any wetland areas
disturbed by the gravel haul road or excavation equipment. The silt fencing will be
removed once the natural vegetation repopulates the area.
, The water-filled coffer dam sections will be drained of the potable water used to fill
, them directly into the Mill Pond. The sections will be folded and carried back to the
paved area of the site via the haul road in order to have the exterior water washed
prior to rolling the units up for shipment. These re-useable units will be returned to
, the vendor.
The haul road material will be scraped up using a front end loader and stockpiled
' on the asphalt pavement in the former Building H Area for subsequent use as
backfill material. The geo•textile beneath the haul road material will be removed
and consolidated for off•site disposal.
' Any areas requiring grading will be addressed prior to installation of silt fencing on
the pond side of the haul road footprint for erosion control. The wetland border area
, affected by the haul road will be finished with topsoil and hydroseeding. The.
wetlands affected by the haul road, excavation mats, and sediment removal will be
allowed to re•populate with phragmites.
' There will be no permanent change to the currenr extents of open water in Mill
Pond and no permanent change to the wetland boundaries resulting from the
, sediment removal action. No wetlands will be filled or destroyed during excavation
of sediments or site restoration.
' 5.5.3 R,estoration of Sub-Surface Soil R,emoval
The area disturbed during the excavation from the former Building H area and
, beneath the rail spur will require specialized backfill and compaction to restore the
portion of the rail spur affected by excavation activities. The roadbed used for the
, sediment haul road will be re-used as backfill for any soils removed from
immediately adjacent to or beneath the rail spur. Compaction requirements and
monitoring will be provided by MBTA, who owns the railroad spur. A qualified
� railroad construction contractor will reinstall the section of railway spur that is
disturbed by the excavation.
, In the excavation not directly affecting the rail spur, clean fill will be placed in the
bottom of the excavation at the outset of backfill operations at the sub•surface
excavation. A backfill of expected 10�7 cm/sec or lower permeability will be used to
, backfill the bottom (2) feet of the excavation to restore the low permeability layer
313/03 23
'
'
,
that had prevented the contamination from downward migration, should this layer
' be disturbed during excavation. This replacement of the low permeability material
excavated to remove contamination will provide additional protection to the deep
groundwater from any residual organic contamination in the area.
, During excavation activities the potential for incorporating an organic substrate as
a remedial additive ( a lactate solution, molasses, or even dairy whey solids) both
' above and below the low permeability layer of backfill material will be evaluated.
Any action taken to apply Remedial Additives during this restoration work will be
undertaken pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0046. Addition of this substrate would be
, beneficial for several reasons�
• The substrate would maintain an anaerobic environment in the subsurface
, and promote degradation of the highly chlorinated aliphatic compounds such
as PCE and TCE, in the event that any dissolution to groundwater from any
, residual source occurs;
• the site and surrounding upgradient areas are paved; groundwater
' movement and soil flushing in the area are limited and the substrate.would
remain in place and effective, particularly if dairy whey solids are used; and,
' • maintaining an anaerobic condition and providing additional anaerobic
substrate increases the down•gradient capacity of the aquifer and soils to
immobilize residual chromium in the groundwater.
' The behavior of the subsurface soils during the excavation, the success of
dewatering efforts, and the success of reaching the targeted depths will determine
' whether effective placement of the substrate is possible. If a dairy whey is used it
will be mixed into the backfill and added as less than one percent (1%) by volume to
avoid interference with backfill compaction and stability.
iThe stockpiled overburden soils that were excavated but do not require off-site
disposal will be placed in the excavation as backfill on top of the layer of clean, low
, permeability fill. A final layer of clean backfill at least two feet thick will be placed
over the original site soil that was backfilled prior to final compaction and repaving
of the area.
, Compaction equipment will be utilized to compress and stabilize the specific backfill
materials required within 12 feet of the rail siding to meet the requirements of the
' MBTA for restoration of the railroad siding. The MBTA will specify the materials,
lift construction and compaction, and grade finishing requirements required for the
, railroad siding restoration.

, 5.6 Response Action Constructability Review
' Ciba has consulted with several vendors to obtain information related to
implementation of the Response Action for the Site soils and sediments. Ciba is in
the process of selecting a contractor to perform the Response Action at the time of
' this submittal. In the same manner as discussed in Section 3.0 regarding changes
in scope or approach that may be required to comply with specific requirements of
' permitting agencies, any significant changes in the Response Action design that
become necessary because of unforeseen conditions will be communicated to
MADEP in writing and/or documented in the Phase IV Final Inspection Report.
, The excavation along the rail siding between the location of the former UST area
and Building L will have to meet the requirements of the MBTA, who owns the rail
' siding. Specific engineering requirements for the rail siding work will be provided
by MBTA.

I ' 6.0 Determination of Remedial Action Effectiveness
The long term effectiveness of the response actions will be evaluated through
, monitoring of groundwater, with a three year monitoring program of annual
sampling planned. Significant attenuation of chromium concentrations in the site
groundwater has occurred to date, and although the removal of the chromium
' source material in the surface soils may not immediately improve groundwater
quality, the chromium concentration in groundwater will continue to decrease.
, The removal of the majority of the VOC source material and the effects of
dewatering during excavation in the sub-surface soil removal action is expected to
improve groundwater quality in the immediate area. The sub-surface soil removal
' and dewatering efforts are expected to eliminate the potential continuing source. of
VOCs to groundwater and also eliminate the groundwater UCL exceedance.
' The continued groundwater monitoring will focus on total chromium and volatile
organics for each area, as appropriate.
' 6.1 Continued Site Monitoring
' The response actions at the Site are directed at the source materials that are
believed to cor.tribute to groundwater contamination at the 5ite. As determined by
the Phase II Site Assessment there is currently no unacceptable risk posed by the
, Site groundwater, however continued monitoring on an annual basis for 3 years at
the Site using existing monitoring wells will provide inforination regarding the
effectiveness of the removal of the source materials.
, Monitoring wells ABB•2, ABB-2D, HLA-202, HLA•202D, ABB•101, ABB-lO1D,
ABB-5, and ABB•5D will be sampled for volatile organics annually for 3 years.
' These wells are shown in Figure 6-1.
Monitoring Wells ABB-3, HLA-2, and ABB•5 will be sampled for total chromium
, annually for 3 years. These wells are shown in Figure 6•1.
The PCE in the indoor air of the production building complex also warrants
' continued monitoring to determine whether any detected concentrations remain
consistent with background. The indoor air in the production complex will be
sampled twice during the year that the response actions are implemented, with the
' samples collected in both the winter and summer months, and the results evaluated
to determine if the concentrations are consistent with background. These locations
, will be sampled again in 2003 prior to excavation activities at the locations shown
in Figure 6-2 using Summa canisters equipped with 8•hour composite sample
collection valves. USEPA TO•14 analysis will be conducted on the samples and the
' results evaluated to previous indoor air results and background values.

62 Attainment of Remedial Action Goals
' At the completion of the remedial actions for soils and sediments a Class A•3
Response Action Outcome (RAO) will be submitted. The following criteria must be
, met by conditions at the Site following the remediation for filing of the A•3 RAO�
• A permanent solution has been achieved.
, The permanence of the solution is provided by removal of the source
material and treatment and/or disposal at an approved, permitted off-site
, facility. No material will be treated at the Site or disposed of at the Site.
• The level of OHMin the environment has not been reduced to background
' concentration.
The chromium and volatile organic contamination at the Site will not be
' reduced to background concentrations by the planned remedial actions.
Soil removal actions designed to achieve a level of No Significant Risk
would have to be increased in scope by 300 to 500 percent in order to
, achieve background concentration across the site for total chromium and
volatile organics, and this substantial increase in effort and cost does not
provide proportionate risk reduction benefit. Remediation end points .of
' background concentration for chromium and volatile organics were
determined to be infeasible pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0860 in the Phase II
Report based on the incremental remediation vs. risk reduction
' comparison.
The most heavily impacted materials that are being removed from the
' Site are being replaced with clean fill soils, in effect reducing the
concentrations of OHM at those portions of the Site to background
concentration.
, • One or more Activity and Use Limitations have been implemented
pursuant to 310 CMR 40.1012 to maintain a ]evel ofNo Signi�cant Risk.
, Incorporated into the A•3 RAO filing will be Activity and Use Limitations
for the Site that specify future land use restrictions, specific procedures
, that must be followed regarding any excavation activities, maintenance of
barriers to Site assess, and restrictions on the use of groundwater.
, • OHM at the disposal site do not exceed applicable Upper Concentration
Limits in soil orgroundwater.
, After the remediation of the surface and subsurface soils has been
completed there will be no Upper Concentration Limit exceedance for
' chromium or volatile organics in soils. Pursuant to 310 CMR
, 3/3/03 27
'
,
40.0926�3)(b)(2)(a), representative concentrations for OHM in post-
, remediation site soils, sediments, and groundwater show that there will
be no remaining UCL exceedances.
' Remediation of the Mill Pond sediments above the risk derived limit of 4500 mg/kg
will result in a mean concentration in the pond after treatment of 2400 mg/kg. This
level of residual chromium in the pond sediments is significantly lower than the
' risk derived level and is also consistent with clean up levels for trivalent chromium
in sediments at comparable remediation projects. 5ome post excavation sampling
, will be conducted to verify the residual chromium concentration in the sediment in
the areas of sediment removal. The post excavation sample results will be used
with the 2002 sediment data from outside of the excavation areas to confirm the
' mean residual chromium concentration in Mill Pond. Post excavation sample
locations are shown in Figure 6•3.

' 7.0 Schedule
The response actions for surface soils, sub-surface soils, and sediments will be
, undertaken in the third quarter of 2003, commencing in the second or third week of
September, 2003 if possible. This fall implementation schedule is expected to
provide the best weather conditions for the field work, particularly with respect to
' the pond sediments.
The surface soil removal is anticipated to take 3 to 5 days, with the 5 days as a
, contingency in the event that removal of the former Building I foundation becomes
necessary for access.
, The sub•surface soil removal and backfill is expected to take from 10 to 14 days for
the removal of the portion of rail siding, excavation, backfilling and compaction, and
siding restoration.
' Removal of the sediments from Mill Pond will require installation of access roads
and a dewatering facility, requiring 7 days. 15 days are estimated for the actual
, sediment excavation from the two site� within Mill Pond, for a total of 21 working
days for sediment removal.
, These three components of the Response Action are projected to run consecutively,
so the total estin�ated time for Response Action operations is roughly 30 to 35
' working days. As stated previously, there may be changes in the scope and
approach to the implementation of the Response Action required by conditions set
by permitting agencies.

' ' Appendix A
� General Health and Safety Plan
� Health and Safety Plan for Response Actions
' This Site Safety and Health Plan is written to conform to the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) Standards and Regulations, Parts 1910 and
1926, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Safety and
, Health Requirements as stated in EM 385-1-1, revised 3 September, 1996. These
provide the basis for the safety and health program. Additional specifications
, contained within this document are provided to conform to the requirements of
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEP�, National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health �NIOSH), and American Conference of
, Government Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). Each consultant/contractor is
respon,ible for providing their own health and safety plan that will at a
minimum comply with this plan and site specific Univar requirements.
' This Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) is designed to �
' 1. Prevent injuries to employees or other persons.
2. NIainiain employee exposures to health hazards well below the
, occupational limits established by OSHA or ACGIH
3. Keep the exposures of area residents to air contaminants well below the
� levels established for general public exposure by the USEPA.
4. Prevent increases in the levels of contaminants in soil, water, or
, sediment near the site.
5. Prevent violations of OSHA, USEPA, Massachusetts, or other
' applicable regulations.
6. Provide contingency and contact information in the event of an
, emergency condition
'
'
3/3/03 A-1
,
'
'
Prior to any remedial action work commencing at the site by Ciba or Ciba's
' remedial action contractor, a meeting will be conducted at the Site with Univar
facility personnel to discuss the sequence and schedule of field work, avoidance of
disruption to facility operations, and health and safety / environmental
' monitoring issues. There will be continuing coordination between remediation
and facility operation during all portions of the field work.
' Hazard/R,isk Analysis
The hazards that are expected to be encountered by personnel with the exception
' of possible heat stress due to the wearing of protective equipment and exposure
to contaminated material are common to any construction site. Some of these
hazards and their applicable OSHA regulations include�
' 1. Motorized e ui ment • �1926.600-604)
� !
� ' 2. Fire protection and prevention - (1926.150•152)
3. Excavations - (1926.650-652)
,
I, ' Safety Training
, All personnel entering the work area defined in Figure 4-7 must have completed
I ' the OSHA mandated 40 hour training course for Hazardous Waster Operations,
as well as refresher courses for those persons who have had this training.
Supervisors will have completed an additional 8 hours of supervisor training per
I, , 29 CFR 1910.120 �e). Documentation will be kept on file which ceriifies that each
employee or subcontractor employee has satisfied the requirements of the OSHA
'i ' training regulation 1910.120(e). If a visitor does not, for any reason, obtain the
required training nor have the required OSHA training and medical examination
they will not be permitted within the designated Response Action operations
�i ' area.
Fire Prevention: Basic fire prevention measures will be followed. Fire
II , extinguishers will be inspected and tagged monthly as required by NFPA 10.
Housekeenine� The site will be kept in a neat and orderly fashion. Non-
�', , contaminated refuse will be disposed of on a regular basis.
Heavv Epuinment Insnection� All equipment will be inspected by the operator
II ' prior to use. Motorized equipment will be checked to see that brake and steering
mechanisms are in working order and that all alarm systems and safety guards
'
, 3l3/03 A-2
'
'
are operational. Electrical equipment will be checked to determine whether it is
' properly grounded and there are no frayed cords or other obvious defects.
Heat Stress� Heat stress is one of the most common hazards encountered at a
' site, and there are a number of factors which have an effect in determining the
amount of heat stress experienced by an individual worker. These factors include
environmental conditions, type of clothing worn, workload, and individual
' characteristics.
Cold Stress� During colder months (temperatures <40°F), there will be
, monitoring for cold stress. The wind speed and temperature will be determined
from locally available weather information.
' Hearing Conservation� When noisy operations make normal conversation
difficult, sound level pressure meter readings will be taken to document noise
' exposure to on site personnel. All operators and laborers in close proximity to the
equipment will participate in a hearing conservation program. The hearing
conservation program consists of the use of personal protection (ear plugs and/or
, muffs), audiometric examinations, and employee training.
, Standard 3afety Operating Procedures
' The following general safety rules will be in effect for all site personnel�
1. Eating, drinking, smoking, chewing gum or tobacco, and other practices
, that increase the probability of hand•to•mouth transfer and ingestion of
hazardous material is prohibited in any area designated contaminated.
, 2. Whenever decontamination procedures for protective clothing are in effect,
the entire body shall be thoroughly washed as soon as possible after the
protective clothing is removed.
, 3. Medicine and alcohol can increase the effects of exposure to toxic
chemicals. Therefore personnel using prescription drugs shall inform the
, doctor who prescribed them of their potential contact with to�c materials.
, Air Monitoring
' The purpose of monitoring air quality within the work zone is to ensure worker
safety. Hand-held instruments will be used to measure the levels of particulates
and volatile organic compounds in the areas where workers are located, generally
'
' 3/3/03 A-3
'
'
on the edge of the excavation activities. These monitors will provide the most
' immediate alert if emissions are becoming elevated.
A Photovac Voyager Photo-Ionization Detector (PID) will provide instantaneous
' readings continually. During the workday, a health and safety technician will
visually monitor the readings on the instrument. The technician will notify
Excavation Personnel if the levels recorded are approaching action levels. In
' addition, an audible alarm will sound if a concentration above an action level is
detected.
' Air Monitoring Action Levels
The work zone short-term action levels for organic contaminants are based on
, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations that govern
worker safety and those levels recommended by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists �ACGIH). The OSHA/ACGIH 8-hour
, permissible expcsure limit will be used as the short-term action level in the wor•k
zone. The 8•hour exposure limit is the air concentration of a specific contaminant
, that a worker may be exposed to over an eight•hour period without use of a
respirator or other equipment. Although the 8•hour OSHA/ACGIH limits
represent the acceptable level of exposure over an eight•hour period, these limits
' will be used as short•term action levels (5•minute) in the work zone during
operations at the Site. This provides a level of safety that allows an action to be
taken to control emissions before they represent a hazard to workers in the
' remedial action work zone or to workers in the adjacent active facility.
The short-term action level for particulates in the work zone is provided in Table
, A-1. This action level, which is based on the OSHA respirable particulate
standard, addresses the risk posed by the physical properties of the particles.
Another concern related to particulates is the concentration of inetals on the
' particles. A lower action level for particulates can result if the concentrations of
metals associated with the particles are high enough that they present more of a
risk than the physical properties of the particle. Because of the low trivalent
I , chromium toxicity and the relatively low concentrations (0.05% or less) in the
surface soil to be excavated, the short-term action level for particulates is based
on the physical properties of the particles and not the concentration of chromium
' in the soil.
The following table identifies the action levels for contaminants that have the
� , potential to become volatilized or airborne during remediation activities.
'
'

'
The PID will be calibrated with a correlation to tetrachloroethene (PCE) because
' this compound has the lowest concentration action level. Total VOC will be read
as PCE for conservative measure.
' Levels of Personal Protective Equipment
All equipment will be NIOSH approved. All personnel who are required to wear a
' respirator will have to pass a fit test given in accordance with 29 �FR 1926.58.
Respirators will not be intexchanged between workers without cleaning and
sanitizing. Cartridges will be changed daily or upon increased resistance.
, All PPE worn on site will be decontaminated or properly disposed of at the end of
