Re: Notice of Implementation of a Release Abatement Measure (RAM) under
the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (310 CMR 40.0000)
355 Highland Avenue (2 &3 Cedar Road)
RTN 3-34633
Dear Mr. Kirby:
The Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) at 310 CMR 40.1403 requires that the chief municipal and
health officers be notified of the implementation of a Release Abatement Measure (RAM)at a "site" in
their community. A site,as defined by the MCP, is a location of a release of oil or hazardous materials to
the environment,and a RAM represents activities that are implemented to mitigate a release of oil or
hazardous materials that are regulated under the MCP. Asbestos is regulated under the MCP,and has
been identified in demolition debris and soil at 2 Cedar Road and 3 Cedar Road,for which remedial
measures will be implemented under a RAM.
A RAM Plan has been submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
(MassDEP),to allow implementation of the release abatement on or after November 27, 2017. The
abatement measure consists of recovery of asbestos debris and associated soil, and disposal at a
licensed disposal facility. A copy of the RAM Plan can be viewed and/or downloaded at the following
website:

by entering"3" in the first"RTN"search box,and "34633" in the second RTN search box; no other
search parameters are required.

Very sincerely yours,
