LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
2.1
PROPERTY LOCATION
The property is located at 29 Apsley Street, in the Town of Hudson,
Massachusetts as shown on the site location map (Figure 2-1). The property is
located in an industrial zoned area of Hudson.
2.2
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Chase-Walton property (Figure 2-2 Site Plan) is 54,251 square feet
in area with two buildings. The main building with offices on the second floor
and manufacturing at ground level is 10,650 square feet in size. Attached to
the end of the L-shaped portion of the main building is SF Medical. The
second building (storage building), three stories tall occupies 9,798 square
feet at the northwest corner of the property. The first story of the second
building is used for storage of shipping wrappers (polyethylene and
cardboard). The second and third story of the building is vacant, according to
Chase-Walton representatives.
Access to the property is from Apsley Street. Parking is along the north
(Apsley Street) and west sides of the facility. The property is vegetated with
grass along each of the following areas: the north side of the main building
between Apsley Street and the front of the building; and a narrow strip on
the south side of the building, adjacent to abandoned railroad tracks.
Topography at the property is flat with a gentle slope toward the east.
Surface drainage is collected in a series of catch basins connected to the
municipal storm sewer. Surface drainage from the site eventually discharges
into Bruce's Pond, located approximately 900 feet east of the property.
Surface water from Bruce's Pond flows into the Assabet River. The confluence
of the two streams is approximately 1,000 feet southeast of the property. The
closest point on the property to the Assabet River is located approximately
500 feet to the south.

SITE HISTORY
3.1
OWNERSHIP
Chase-Walton Elastomers acquired the property on March 31, 1955
from Textile Rubber and Combining Company, who previously acquired the
property from Margaret M. Barry on February 20, 1951 (filed on March 12,
1951). According to records provided by Chase-Walton as of March 1, 1974,
Mr. James C.Walton/Chase-Walton was listed as the owner of the property.
Based on a review of records at the Tax Assessor's Office in the Town of
Hudson, abutters to the Chase-Walton Facility are listed on Table 3-1 and
located on Figure 3-1.
3.2
SITE USE
Chase-Walton and its subsidiary, SF Medical Corporation, both located
on the 29 Apsley Street property, manufacture high-precision, inert siliconbased products, such as tubing for surgical implants in the human body.
Other products include a diversity of hoses and gaskets for aircraft, automobiles, and other machinery for commercial and industrial customers
throughout the world. Chase Walton has manufactured these products since
1955. Site uses by the previous owners are unknown.
3.3
REGULATORY HISTORY
A regulatory file search for the property was performed by Wehran
personnel to obtain information relevant to the environmental conditions of
the property. The file search consisted of reviewing information for various
agencies in Hudson, Massachusetts and at the Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) Central Regional Office located in Worcester, Massachusetts.
At the DEP, the file review included the confirmed disposal sites on record,
spill release incident report files, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) permitted hazardous waste facility list. Information reviewed at
the Town of Hudson consisted of files at the Clerk's Offices, Assessor's Office,
the Fire Department, the Health Department and the Department of Public
Works.
A review of the RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act)
Handlers Index dated July 3, 1989 indicated the following:

Chase-Walton is a listed hazardous waste generator, treatment,
storage, or disposal facility. (Facility Identification No. MAD
001407055).
Hudson Lock Company, located near the Chase Walton facility, is a
small quantity hazardous waste generator (Facility Identification
No. MAD001003474).
Review of the spill/release files indicated the DEP has conducted
Incident Response Investigations at the Chase-Walton facility and at the
Hudson Lock Company.
A summary of the results of the DEP investigations at the Chase-Walton
facility follow:
*
*
On March 2, 1985, the DEP conducted an Incident Response
Investigation at Chase-Walton Incorporated relative to a release of
oil/hazardous material to the waters of Bruce's Pond, Hudson,
Massachusetts. The investigation determined that waste hydraulic
oil, spent solvents and an unidentified pail of liquid were
improperly stored and handled at the facility. As a result of the
investigation, the Department determined a release of oil/
hazardous material had resulted from the storage of such
hazardous waste.
As a result of the March 2, 1985, investigation, the Department
issued a letter (dated March 27, 1985) of Written Confirmation of
Responsibility. The letter also requested Chase-Walton to
determine how the release occurred and what actions would be
0
taken to prevent future occurrences of oil/hazardous material
releases.
A letter (dated April 5, 1985) prepared by Chase-Walton provided
documentation of events leading to the release and presented
solvent handling procedures to be implemented to prevent a
future release of oil/hazardous materials.
Information relative to spills/releases of hazardous materials at Hudson
Lock Company (Hudson Lock) are presented below:

*
*
On July 21, 1989, the DEP issues a field Notice of Responsibility
(NOR) to Hudson Lock. It was noted that a number of metal
treating and other industrial processes have occurred on the
property for almost 100 years.
A Spill/Release Incident Report (dated July 21, 1989) indicated that
three 20,000 gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) were pulled
from a vault, and 5,000 gallons of an oil/water mixture were
observed in the piping trench. It was noted that the USTs were to
be removed on July 24, 1989.
On July 24-27, 1989, Jason M. Cortell and Associates, Inc. (Cortell)
witnessed the excavation of three 20,000 gallon No.4 fuel oil USTs
located on Hudson Lock property (letter to DEP dated 9-22-89).
Since that time two 20,000 gallon tanks and one 1,000 gallon tank
were removed and soils excavated and stockpiled at the facility.
According to a DEP memo (dated 11-29-89), the two 20,000 gallon
USTs were used to store No.4 fuel oil since 1977 and No.6 oil prior
to 1977. The excavated soil was separated into two piles. The less,
contaminated soil pile contained from 97.8 to 11,740 parts per
million (ppm) total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and no
contamination by volatile organic compounds on the hazardous
substance list (EPA Method 8240), no PCBs (polychlorinated
biphenols), and no excessive metals (Method 1310). A grab sample
of the more contaminated soil pile contained 60,939 ppm TPH. The
DEP recommended that the site be listed as a LTBI (List To Be
Investigated). All five tanks were part of a fuel storage and
delivery system that included a concrete dike structure that
completely surrounded the tanks and supported piping used to
deliver fuel from the tanks to the facility boilers and piping for the
tank filling system. Requests were made to the DEP for permission
to backfill uncontaminated concrete in accordance with current
DEP Interim Policy.
A DEP memo dated November 29, 1989, requested approval to
move 1,000 cubic yards of virgin oil contaminated soil to Brox
Industries facility in Dracut for recycling. Approval was given on
December 4, 1989.

The Massachusetts Attorney General's Office (letter to Hudson Lock
Company dated November 16, 1989) notified Hudson Lock that a
civil complaint seeking civil penalties would be filed for
construction and operation of a wastewater treatment works
without prior approval from the Division of Water Pollution
Control.
A review of the Confirmed Sites files indicated that as of August 8, 1990
(date of file review), neither Chase-Walton nor any of the abutters to
29 Apsley Street were confirmed hazardous waste disposal sites.
The Hudson Clerk's Office records were reviewed for information
pertaining to USTs. Although two known USTs are located at the
Chase-Walton site, no certificate of registration records were available at the
Clerk's Office. The Clerk's records indicated registered USTs at Hudson Lock
and Middlesex Research. Hudson Lock Inc., has a Certificate of Registration
dated April 1, 1990 for keeping, storage, manufacture or sale of flammables
or explosives. The type and quantity of flammables or explosives stored was
not listed on the certificate. An abutter, Middlesex Research, has a
4,000 gallon fuel oil UST. Records at the Town Clerk's Office do not identify
the condition of these USTs.
The Town Fire Department was contacted regarding USTs at the ChaseWalton facility and at nearby properties. The Chase-Walton site was
registered as of 1981 for the storage of natural gas (94 gallons) used for
heating fuel. Two nearby properties were also registered and permitted for
storage of fuel oil and gasoline. At Hudson Lock, an aboveground 275 gallon
fuel oil tank is registered as of 1989. At Middlesex Research a 300 gallon
gasoline tank is registered as of 1974.
The Hudson Building Inspector's files were reviewed. Records did not
contain any recent building permits indicating structural changes at the site.
The Hudson Zoning Map indicated the Chase-Walton facility is located in an
industrial zone in Hudson. A residential area is immediately south of the
Boston and Maine Railroad, abutting the Chase-Walton facility.
The Hudson Health files were reviewed by Wehran personnel. File
information duplicated information obtained from the DEP.

Water supplies for the Town of Hudson (communication with the
Hudson Department of Public Works) consists of surface water and
groundwater from two source areas:
*
*
Surface water from Gates Pond located in the Town of Berlin west
of Interstate 495, approximately 22.7 miles southwest of the ChaseWalton facility.
Groundwater from four production wells located in the Town of
Hudson east of Chestnut Street, approximately 4.5 miles east of the
Chase-Walton facility.
Groundwater at Chase-Walton facility is presently not being used for
either consumptive or nonconsumptive purposes. Water is supplied to the
Chase-Walton and surrounding facilities by the Town of Hudson.
Copies of information gathered from agencies in the Town of Hudson
and the DEP are available in Appendix A.

INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES
4.1
SITE VISIT
A site visit was conducted by Wehran personnel accompanied by ChaseWalton representatives on July 11, 1990 and July 27, 1990. The purpose of the
site visits was to: 1) identify types of petroleum or hazardous substances
stored and used at the facility; and 2) areas of the property where releases
may have occurred. Areas visited included manufacturing areas within the
main building, a designated hazardous substance storage area, a detached
storage building used for storage of shipping containers and unused
equipment, and the property surrounding the building.
In the designated hazardous substance storage area volatile organic
solvents (toluene, isopropyl alcohol, naptha, and methyl ethyl ketone) are
stored in 55-gallon drums. Isopropyl alcohol is used to clean surgical products,
and the other solvents are used for cleaning other products or machinery used
to manufacture the products. Solvents are applied to rags to clean machinery
from a push dispenser. The rags are disposed of in a rag bucket, which is
picked up by a cleaning company which supplies the rags.
Heating oil is stored in two underground storage tanks (USTs). A
5,000-gallon UST is located in the courtyard of the main building, and a
2,000-gallon UST is located adjacent to the storage building The two USTs
were recently tightness tested and passed, according to Chase-Walton
personnel.
No septic systems are known to exist on the property. Several catch
basins connected to the municipal storm sewer system are located within the
courtyard of the main building and around the property.
There was no evidence of a release of solvents in the designated
chemical storage area or near catch basins at the property. The
manufacturing areas observed during the site visit appeared to be clean and
no evidence of spills were observed. Areas of the property surrounding the
buildings did not show evidence of any releases. Areas not observed during
the site inspection were the basement and second and third stories of the
storage building. The basement was not in an accessible condition due to the
accumulation of silt during overflow of the storm sewer into the basement.
4-1
30.08/90.00559.01
The second and third stories of the building are empty according to
Chase-Walton representatives.
4.2
SOIL BORINGS/SAMPLING AND MONITORING WELL INSTALLATION
On June 27, 1990, two test borings were completed by a Wehran
subcontractor, Sommer Environmental (Wakefield, Massachusetts) to
determine if there was evidence of a release of oil or hazardous substances in
subsurface materials.
One of the borings (B-1)
was installed near a
2,000-gallon fuel oil UST. The second boring was completed with a
monitoring well (MW-1) in the courtyard of the main building in the vicinity
of the 5,000-gallon fuel oil UST. Soil samples were collected at each of the
borings by split-spoon samplers during test boring programs. Each of the
samples were classified for soil type and field screened for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs).
Soil borings were advanced by a drilling rig equipped with hollow-stem
augers (4 1/4-inch inside diameter). Soil samples were collected continuously
from ground surface to a depth of about 10 feet which is the approximate
depth to the water table and at intervals of five feet below the water table to
auger refusal- Soil samples were collected using a two inch outside diameter,
24-inch long split-spoon sampler in accordance with ASTM-D-1586-84
methodology. The number of blows required to drive the sampler 24 inches,
using a 140-pound weight falling freely from 30 inches (Standard Penetration
Test), was recorded as a measure of soil density. Geologic descriptions of the
samples were classified in the field following the Modified Burmister System
onto a detailed geologic log by the supervising geologist. Boring logs and
well construction details are presented in Appendix B.
During drilling, to avoid cross contamination soil samples were
collected from decontaminated split-spoon samplers. The decontamination
procedure consisted of an initial wash with a mixture of non-phosphate
detergent and distilled water, followed by a methanol rinse, and a triple rinse
with distilled water. Sample jars containing soil from each split-spoon sampler
were capped with aluminum foil and the jar headspace tested for total
organic vapors with an HNu organic vapor meter (HNu) equipped with a
11.7 eV photoionizer. One soil sample was collected from each of the borings
and submitted to Stevens Analytical for analysis of total petroleum
4-2
3008/90 0055901
hydrocarbons (TPH) (United States Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA]
Method 418.1). The soil analytical data sheets are presented in Appendix C.
Based on the detection of elevated VOCs in soil jar headspace samples
ranging from 13 to 30 parts per million (ppm), it was necessary to install a
monitoring well in boring MW-1. Monitoring well MW-1 is constructed of
two-inch ID, schedule 40 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) flush-threaded riser pipe,
with 10 feet of well screen (0.010-inch slot size). Silica sand was placed in the
well bore annulus surrounding the screen to approximately one foot above
the top of the screen, followed by a three-foot bentonite seal and one foot of
cement to secure the top of a four-inch ID steel roadbox.
After allowing sufficient time for the bentonite to congeal, the newly
installed monitoring well was developed by pumping until the water removed
from the well reached visual clarity.
4.3
GROUNDWATER QUALITY SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
A groundwater sample was collected from monitoring well MW-1 on
July 30, 1990 and submitted, along with a chain of custody to Stevens
Analytical for analysis of volatile organic compounds (USEPA Method 624).
The analytical data sheets are presented in Appendix C.
Prior to groundwater sampling, the water level was measured to the
nearest 0.01 foot relative to the top of PVC well casing using an electrical
oil-water interface probe.
To assure representative groundwater, the monitoring well was bailed
until field parameters (pH, specific conductance, temperature) stabilized
within 10 percent of consecutive samples of groundwater bailed from the
well. All samples were collected using a decontaminated teflon bailer.

FINDINGS OF SITE ASSESSMENT
5.1
SUBSURFACE MATERIALS
Subsurface materials at the Chase-Walton facility encountered during
drilling of the two test borings consist of three units: sandy fill, sand, and
silt/clay.
*
The sandy fill is approximately 4.5 feet thick on the west side of the
*
property (B-1) and thickens to 8.0 feet in the area of the courtyard.
The underlying sand is 7.0 feet in thickness (B-1) thinning to
*
1.5 feet in the courtyard.
The silt/clay is 5.0 feet thick in the courtyard (MW-1) and pinches
out to the west before reaching boring B-1.
Each of the borings were terminated at refusal (the depth at which
augers could not be advanced). The depth of refusal was 15.5 feet below
ground surface in each boring. Specific details of the subsurface materials
encountered are presented on the boring logs in Appendix B.
5.2
SOIL/SEDIMENT ANALYTICAL RESULTS
Two soil samples were collected of the sandy fill materials and analyzed
for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). The analytical results follow:
*
*
A sample of sand collected from boring B-1 at a depth below
ground surface from 8.5 to 10.5 feet (below the water table)
contained 30 parts per million (ppm) TPH.
Sandy fill collected from boring MW-1 from a depth below ground
surface of 0.5 to 2.5 feet (above the water table) contained
130 ppm TPH.
5.3
GROUNDWATER OCCURRENCE
During the drilling program, groundwater was encountered in the sand
unit in both borings. The depth to groundwater (on July 27, 1990) was
approximately 8.0 feet below land surface. The direction of groundwater
flow is uncertain, but may be toward the east, based on the slope of the
surface topography.
5-1
30.08/90 00559 01
5.4
GROUNDWATER ANALYTICAL RESULTS
A groundwater sample collected from monitoring well MW-1 was
analyzed for VOCs on the hazardous substance list (EPA Method 624). A
summary of the analytical results for the compounds detected in groundwater
(collected on June 30, 1990), along with regulatory limits established for
drinking water, are summarized below:
"
Trans-1,2-dichloroethene was detected in groundwater at a
concentration of 30 parts per billion (ppb). There is no drinking
water limit established at this time for this compound.
e
Trichloroethene was detected in groundwater at a concentration
of 1,300 ppb, exceeding the 5 ppb drinking water limit established
by the USEPA.
The VOCs detected are associated with chlorinated organic solvents
typically used to remove grease from machinery.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This report presents the results of a site assessment conducted for
Chase-Walton Elastomers, Inc. to determine potential environmental
liabilities associated with their facility located at 29 Apsley Street, in Hudson,
Massachusetts. The site assessment consisted of a review of files at town
offices in Hudson and at DEP; review of ownership records at the Hudson Tax
Assessors office; discussions with Chase-Walton employees; a site visit;
installation of two test borings; installation of one monitoring well at the
facility; sampling and analysis of two samples of subsurface soil/sediment; and
sampling and analysis of groundwater collected from the newly installed
monitoring well.
The Chase-Walton facility is located in an industrial-zoned area with a
residential area located immediately south of the property. Topography and
surface drainage slopes moderately to the east toward Bruce's Pond, which
drains into the Assabet River.
Subsurface materials, based on the drilling of two borings, consist of
sandy fill at a depth ranging from 4.0 to 8.0 feet below ground surface.
Underlying the sandy fill unit is sand ranging from 1.5 to 7.0 feet thick.
Silt/clay underlies the sand unit, and is 5.0 feet thick in the courtyard, and is
cut off by the sand unit to the west between the two borings.
A soil sample was taken from each of the two borings and submitted
for laboratory analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). Results of soil
collected from boring B-1 at a depth from 8.5 to 10.5 feet below land surface
contained 30 ppm TPH. Soil collected from boring MW-1 at a depth from 0.5
to 2.5 feet below land surface contained"130 ppm TPH. Because only two
borings were drilled the composition and extent of TPH contamination is
unknown.
Two underground storage tanks (USTs) used for storage of heating oil
are present at the facility. A 5,000-gallon fuel oil UST is located at the the
courtyard of the main building. A 2,000-gallon UST is located adjacent to the
south end of the storage building. According to Chase-Walton employees,
the 2,000 gallon UST is out of use and may still contain heating oil. The age
and condition of the USTs are unknown. The soil contamination identified on
site is possibly related to these activities.
6-1
30 08/90.00559.01
Shallow groundwater (June 27, 1990) occurs at a depth of
approximately eight feet below ground surface. The direction of
groundwater flow based on the slope of the surface topography is probably
from west to east.
Chemical analysis of groundwater from MW-1 indicates the presence of
two volatile organic compounds (with concentrations in parenthesis): trans1,2-dichloroethene (30 ppb), and trichloroethene (TCE) (1,300 ppb). The
presence of these compounds in water indicates a release of chlorinated
solvents has occurred. Drinking water standards established by the DEP and
USEPA for TCE (5 ppb) are exceeded. The extent of TCE contamination is
unknown.
Groundwater at the Chase-Walton facility is currently not being used
for consumptive or nonconsumptive purposes. Water is supplied to the
facility by the Town of Hudson Municipal Water System. The Town of Hudson
obtains its drinking water supplies from two source areas. The closest source
is Gates Pond, located 2.7 miles southwest of the facility in the Town of Berlin.
The second major source of groundwater is from a municipal well field
located in the Town of Hudson east of Chestnut Street, approximately
4.5 miles east of the Chase-Walton facility.
In conclusion, there is evidence of a release of petroleum to soils and a
separate release of chlorinated organic compounds to groundwater at
29 Apsley Street, Hudson, Massachusetts. Soils contain concentrations of
petroleum hydrocarbons exceeding DEP procedures for on site reuse in areas
of high environmental impact. If the property were considered to be in an
area of low environmental impact, on site reuse may be permitted by the
Department. Groundwater contains trichloroethene exceeding drinking
water and groundwater standards, however, the source and extent of the
contamination is unknown. Although groundwater at the property is not
being used for consumptive or non-consumptive purposes, and municipal
water supplies are located several miles from the facility, the health risks
posed by this level of contamination are unknown.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the summary and conclusions of this Environmental
Assessment, Wehran Engineering recommends the following:
1.
The Central Regional Office of the DEP, located in Worchester,
Massachusetts, will need to be notified of the results of this
Environmental Assessment.
2.
A Phase 1/Limited Site Investigation needs to be completed to
determine whether the source of the TCE is on-site or upgradient
from the site.

LIMITATIONS
1. The observations described in this report were made under the
conditions stated herein. The findings presented in the report
were based solely upon the services described in Wehran's proposal
letter dated July 19, 1990, and not on scientific tasks or procedures
beyond the scope of the described services.
2.
The information presented in this report was obtained from
Federal and local officials, the parties herein referenced, and
records maintained by governmental and/or local agencies.
Although there is some overlap in the information provided by
these sources, Wehran did not attempt to independently verify the
accuracy or completeness of all information reviewed or received
during the course of this site assessment.
3.
Unless otherwise specified in the report, Wehran did not perform
physical, chemical, or biological testing or analyses to determine
the presence of any hazardous constituents or asbestos-containing
building materials at the site.
4.
The objective of this assessment was to provide data for the
evaluation of the property located at 29 Apsley Street, Hudson,
Massachusetts. Further investigative site information which was
not available to Wehran at the time of this assessment may result in
a modification of the findings stated above. This report has been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted site assessment
practices. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
5.
No conclusions can be drawn regarding the potential presence of
radon in the atmosphere in the interiors of structures on the
property. Radon is an odorless, colorless gas which cannot be
detected or inferred to occur without conducting specific analytical
procedures.

WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF
RESPONSIBILITY
Dear Mr. Moroney:
As a result of an investigation conducted by Department of Environmental Quality
Engineering (DEQE) on March 2 and 3, 1985, the Department has determined that there
has been a release of unknown quantities of waste hydraulic oil/hazardous material
(waste solvents and unidentified pail of white liquid) from the oil/hazardous material waste drums and containers stored at Chase-Walton Incorporated, 29 Apsley Street,
Hudson, Massachusetts.
In addition, the Department has determined that there existed
a threat of release of oil/hazardous material from the drums and containers in question during the storage periods of February 26, 1983 through March 2, 1985.
The information obtained during the investigation revealed that:
1.
Sixteen (16) assorted containers with various capacities (11-55
gallon drums, 2-25 gallon plastic drums, 1-5 gallon steel drum
and 1-2 gallon plastic pail) which contained oil/hazardous
materials, were stored during February 26, 1985 through March
2, 1985, in an outside parking area at the rear of Chase-Walton
Incorporated;
2.
With the exception of one (1) empty 55 gallon steel drum the
remaining storage containers present at the site were full to
capacity or partially filled with oil/hazardous materials;
3.
The majority of drums were mislabeled, not properly labeled,
and/or not labeled at all.
Positive identification of all
drum contents could not be determined y labeling or facility
personnel; According to your testimony you stated that a number
of drums contained waste hydraulic oil generated from repairs
made to one of the facility's hydraulic presses.

4.
Some drums were not equipped with covers which enabled rain
water to collect and discharge oil/hazardous materials onto
the pavem~nt and into area catch basin. Some drum opening
caps were not securely tightened;
5.
The storage area location was upgradient and adjacent to a
storm water catch basin which the'Department has determined
ultimately drains into waters of Bruce Pond;
6.
Speedy dry had been applied around the drums and that the
speedy dry present was heavily stained and contained absorbed
oil;
7.
Observations of the storage area revealed that the pavement
immediately around the drums was oil stained and that the oil
stain path lead to the down gradient catch basin.
8.
Observation of the catch basin cover, down gradient from
the drums indicated that oil/hazardous materials had been
discharged directly to and entered the catch basin; and
9.
The facility did not undertake measures to provide for the
security of oil/hazardous materials being stored.
~
Such incident is governed by Chapter 21E of the General Laws of Massachusetts
(hereinafter "M.G.L.c.21E"), the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release
Prevention and Response Act which was enacted on March 24, 1983, through Section
5 of Chapter 7 of the Acts and Resolves of Massachusetts of 1933.
The Department has determined that you are, under the provisions of M.G.L.c.2.
Section 5(a), responsible for the occurrence of such release/threat of release.
On March 3, 1985, at approximately 8:22 a.m. Department personnel verbally not
fied you of your responsibility for such release/threat of release and gave you one
copy of a document prepared by the Department and entitled "Brief synopsis of M.G.L
c.21E, the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention and Response
Act". You accepted such responsibility at that time.
Your acceotance of responsibility-for such release/threat of release means tha
you have (1) entered into a contract with a cleanup contractor, approved by the Dep
ment, named Zecco, Incorporated, to take all necessary remedial and/or preventive
response actions (i.e., assessment, containment and/or removal actions) relative to
such rlease/threat of release ; and (2) pay (paid) for (a) all response costs incur
by the Department due to such release/threat of release and (b) all damages sustain
from any injury to or destruction or loss of natural resources due to such release/
threat of release.

Dear Mr. Benoit,
The following information is submitted per the subject
notification.
1. Actions taken to prevent future occurences are as
follows:
Two (2) fifty-five (55) gallon drums have been labeled
WASTE OIL and WASTE SOLVENT and are stored in a covered area.
The drums have been placed down grade from the storm drains
adjacent to the storage area. All supervisors and employees
involved in the use of solvent/oil have been instructed to
dispose of all waste solvent and oil in the designated drums.
Failure to use these drums is cause for dismissal per our
most recent instructions.
The drums are monitored (at least weekly) by the Supervisor of Maintenance. He will maintain a record of the contents of each drum and will notify Zecco Inc. when they are
approximately three-quarters (3/4) full.
This will allow
sufficient time to have the drums removed so that there are
never more than two waste drums on the premises at one time.

I
As noted we have
discussed the
serious nature of
the problem
with all the supervisors and employees with access to solvent/oil
etc.
Disposal of waste in or near the storm drains is cause for
dismissal. We have purchased Oil Solvent Pillows to place in the
storm drains closest to the building. We think this is good
insurance.
2.
This is essentially what occured:
Within a period of approximately 60 days we generated close
to 500 gallons of hydraulic oil as waste.
This was the result
of a break in the oil coorft system of one of our hydraulic
molding presses. The oil in the system was drained and replaced.
This gave us two drums of spent oil and approximately 200 pounds
of oil soaked Speedi-Dri.
Concurrently the hydraulic system in a second press was being
rebuilt by an outside contractor.
The press was drained, the main
pump was rebuilt and several.valves replaced. We put the press
back into service and within three working days we experienced a
failure in another set of check valves that required us to shut
the press down and drain the system a second time. After this
repair we put the press back in service again only to experience
another breakdown that required a third draining the system,
replacing a defective cooler valve and replacing the oil a third
time.
This gave us another six (6) drums of oil and about 50
pounds more of oil soaked Speedi-Dri.
substantiate this situation).
(Invoices are available to
The other three (3) fifty-five (55) gallon drums were ones
that we had purchased solvent in and paid a deposit on. They
were waiting for a pick-up by the vendor and contained rain
water mixed with the dregs of solvent that we could not remove
when the drum was emptied.
The two and one-half (2-1/2) gallon pail contained a small
quantity of Darvan WAQ. This is a white detergent like substance
that is boidegradable and is not considered hazardous. (an MSDS

The drums were stored where they were awaiting proper

All
traces of oil were vacuumed from the pond on March 3,
1985.
4. Our estimate which concurs with the Zecco clean-up
crew is that probably less than One (1) quart of oil was released
into the drain.
Six
(6) hundred gallons of waste was removed by
Zecco Inc. Approximately five (5) hundred gallons of this was
a result of the hydraulic system problems we experienced from
mid-January to the end of February.

DWPC inspection report, a par-tial draft case study, and a partial
draft NON for your use,
This second team inspection provided cross-train n
fnr t
inspeotors, allowed us to assess cross-media issues, and aiiswat ns
time to view all production, possibly discovering more regulated
activities than in our normal 1.5 to 2 hour initial inzpectLAn.
Several noisy production areas interfered with our ability to geanswers without repeating guesti:ns, and to coordinate or
questions and technical assistance thoroughly. Safety, file
and moat other team preparation and coordination met our
r:view
expectations, but steel-toed boots would be useful. I chose to
advise the pretreatment operator and management about correcting an
immediate pH discharge/monitoring/control problem.
Although the facility representatives appeared overwnelmed at
times such as at our arrival, they indicated a preferance for this
integrated inspection. They admitted incomplete compliance for
their processes and chemical handling, but were defensive
about
their frustrations in obtaining a local sewer permit. They were
able to provide only some cut-of-date (1926+) piping plans. but
have been willing to update their files and procedures in-house or
through consultants. The safety officer and manufacturing VP are
gaining the broad regulatory/materials picture through their
increasing responsibilities, while the floor managers know the
processes through years of experience; more cross-training appears
necessary to optimize their materials management and compliance.

Hudson Lock Tank Removal, Hudson, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Rao:
JASON M. CORTELL and ASSOCIATES INC. (CORTELL) is serving as environmental
consultant to Hudson Lock, Inc., located at 81 Apsley Street, Hudson, Massachusetts.
On July 24-27, 1989, CORTELL witnessed the excavation and removal of three
20,000-gallon underground No. 4 fuel oil storage tanks located at the Hudson Lock
property. Mr. Chris Bresnahan of DEP inspected the site, and notified Hudson Lock of
the required remedy. Since that time, CORTELL has witnessed the removal of two
additional 20,000-gallon tanks and one 1,000-gallon tank from the site as well as
excavation and stockpiling of soils.
As noted by Mr. Bresnahan, the five Hudson Lock tanks were part of a fuel storage and
delivery system that included a concrete dike structure that completely surrounded the
tanks and supported piping that delivered fuel from the tanks to the facility boilers as
well as the piping for the tank filling system.
This concrete structure was dismantled during tank excavation and is currently stockpiled
on the property. Some of the concrete is oil-stained.
On August 1, 1989, Ms. Catherine Walsh of our office wrote a letter on behalf of Hudson
Lock requesting permission to backfill the noncontaminated concrete into the excavation
following removal of rebar and the processing of the concrete into smaller pieces as
required by the Interim Policy. This letter was written in accordance with Massachusetts
DEP policy as stated in the Department's June 29, 1989 letter. The Hudson Fire
Department and Board of Health have also written to DEP regarding this matter and have
requested that the situation be resolved so that the excavation can be backfilled.
Ms. Walsh has contacted your office on numerous occasions requesting a decision
concerning the Hudson Lock concrete. On Thursday, September 21, you notified her that
no time estimate of when a decision will be rendered could be made. You indicated that
this situation was of low priority and therefore would not receive the immediate
attention of the Department.
Please bre advised that the excavation has beeN open for approximately eight weeks while
CORTELL has been awaiting a decision, and the Hudson Fire and Health Departments are
concerned about the length of time the excavation has been opened.

Hudson Lock has hired a contractor who will process the concrete as soon as we are
advised of your decision. Hudson Lock has undertaken all remedial work required by the
Department to date with the exception of backfilling the excavation. Hudson Lock is
incurring considerable expense in resolving this matter, and further delays may result in
additional expenses as well as creating a safety problem for area residents.
I understand that a draft letter of approval has been written by you and has been
forwarded to Mr. Begley for review. On behalf of Hudson Lock, CORTELL is requesting
that the Department advise us of its decision in writing in a timely fashion so that we
may complete site work and submit the final report to the Division of Hazardous Waste as
required in the July 27, 1989 Notice of Responsibility.
Sincerely,

Sub'ject+-Request to recycle virgin oil contaminated soil
Site: Hudson Lock Company, 81 Aspley St. Hudson
Attached is a request to move 1000 cubic yards of virgin oil
contaminated soil to the Brox Industries facility in Dracut for
recycling.
Included in this request is one Bill of Lading form
signed by the generator.
History In August, 1989, two 20000 gallon UST were removed
from the above referenced property. The tanks had been used to
store #r oil for the past 12 years and had been used to store #6
oil before that.
Chris Bresnahan of CRO-ERB was present during
some of the tank removal activities. Two stockpiles of visibly
contaminated soil and suspected contaminated soil were generated
at the site. An attempt was made during soil excavation to
segregate the more heavily contaminated soil from the less
contaminated soil. This proposal is to transport, for recycling,
the stockpile with lower concentrations of petroleum. Grab
samples of soil taken from this stockpile were analyzed for
total petroleum hydrocarbons and several other types of
compounds. These samples contained between 97.8, and 11740 ppm
of TPH. No compounds were detected in stockpile samples analyzed
by EPA method 8240. No compounds were detected in a soil samples
analyzed for PCBs. A soil sample analyzed by EPA method 1310 did
not detect any excessive levels of toxic metals.
A grab sample of soil taken from the stockpile of more
heavily contaminated soil contained 60,939 ppm of TPH. This
amount is well above the 3% TPH limit allowed for the Brox
facility. The agent for the responsible party has been
instructed to make other arrangements for recycling/disposal of
this stockpile.
The stockpiles have been separated by about 10 feet, and
have been clearly marked to avoid confusion during loading
operations.
Recommendation The soil under discussion meets the criteria
established in the Department's Management Procedures for
Excavated Soils Contaminated with Virgin Petroleum Oils
(Policy#WSC-89-001).
Brox is licensed by the DEP to accept
virgin petroleum contaminated soils. The Department should s
the Bill of Lading to allow the soil removal to proceed.
L
result of actions taken to date in
Removal of this stockpili will not end Emet~n
at this site.
This site should receive further review as a site Lists&
Be Investigated or possibly as a disposal site.

Attention; Mr. Michael Colecchi,
Vice President and
General Manager
NOTICE OF RESPONSIBILITY
DISPOSAL SITE: M.G.L.
c.21E AND 310 CMR 40.000
Dear Mr. Colecchi:
The Department of Environmental Protection, hereinafter in
this document referred to as the "Department", has determined
that the property at 81 Apsley Street, Hudson, MA (the "site" or
"disposal site") is a disposal site within the meaning of the
Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention and
Response Act (M.G.L. c.21E).
The cleanup of disposal sites is
governed by M.G.L. c.21E and the Massachusetts Contingency Plan
(310 CMR 40.000 et sea;
the "MCP").
Because this location has
been confirmed as a disposal site, it will appear on the next
"List of Locations and Disposal Sites" published by the
Department. The Department confirmed this location as a disposal
site on March 5,
1990.
Information contained in the report, "Tank Removal and
Initial Remediation Documentation July-December, 1989", dated
January, 1990, prepared by Cortell Associates, for Hudson Lock,
Inc. with regard to conditions at 81 Apsley Street, Hudson, MA
indicates that a release of an unknown quantity of oil has
occurred at the site. Specifically, #4 or #6 fuel oil 'was
released from underground storage tanks to the soils at the site.
Emergency response actions which included proper removal and
disposal of the leaking underground storage tanks, and
stockpiling for disposal of oil contaminated soils, were
Site #2-0736
March 14, 1990
conducted in July and August, 1989.
Page 2
The report indicates that
two stockpiles of oil contaminated soil remain at the site.
Laboratory analysis of the samples from the second stockpile
initially indicated higher levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons
than the levels found in the first stockpile. A high-pressure
water line and a nearby building foundation prevented excavation
of some of the oil contaminated soil. Residual oil contamination
remains at the site.
As a direct result of such conditions uncontrolled oil has
come to be located at the site.
The Department has reason to believe that you (as used in
this letter "you" refers to Hudson Lock, Inc.)
are a potentially
responsible party (a "PRP") with liability under M.G.L. c.21E,
§5, for response action costs.
Section 5 makes the following
parties liable to the Commonwealth:
current and past owners and
operators of a site containing hazardous materials;
current
owners of a site containing oil;
any person who arranged for, or
who transported hazardous material to the site;
any person who
stored, disposed of or treated hazardous materials at the site;
and any person who caused or is legally responsible for a release
or threat of release of oil or hazardous materials at a site.
This liability is strict, meaning it is not based on fault
but solely on your status as an owner, operator, generator,
transporter or disposer. It is also joint and several, meaning
that you may be liable for all response action costs incurred at
a site even if there are other parties who are also liable.
You may be liable for up to three (3) times the Department's
response action costs.
Response action costs include the cost of
direct hours for time spent by Department employees arranging for
response actions or overseeing work performed by PRP's or their
contractors, expenses incurred by the Department in support of
those direct hours, and payments to the Department's contractors.
(For more detail on cost liability, see 310 CMR 40.600:
Cost
Recovery.)
The Department may also assess interest on the costs
incurred to date at the rate of twelve percent (12%), compounded
annually. To secure payment of this debt, the Commonwealth may
place a lien on all of the property of a responsible party within
the Commonwealth. To recover the debt, the Commonwealth may
foreclose on the lien or the Attorney General may seek judicial
action.
Site #2-0736
Page 3
March 14, 1990
In addition to your potential liability for up to three (3)
times the Department's response action costs, you may also be
liable to the Commonwealth for damages from impairment of natural
resources caused by the release. Additional liability may also
be imposed under M.G.L. c.21E, §11 and other laws for each
violation of M.G.L. c.21E or other laws, or under M.G.L. c.21A,
§16, for violations of c.21E, and other statutes, regulations,
orders or approvals.
The Department encourages PRPs to take response actions at
sites. By taking response actions, you can avoid liability for
the costs of having the Department's contractor perform the work.
If you do not take the necessary response actions, or fail to
perform them in an appropriate or timely manner, the Department
is authorized by M.G.L. c.21E to have the work performed by its
contractor.
There is insufficient data to classify the site as either a
priority or non-priority site. Therefore, the following items
must be completed.
(1)
(2)
(3)
Preliminary Assessment ("PA"),
40.535,
Phase 1
310 CMR
Interim
as designated in 310 CMR
541
- Limited Site Investigation, as designated in
40.535, 543
Site Classification Form.
If the Preliminary Assessment and Phase 1 - Limited Site
Investigation indicate that the site is a non-priority site, you
may apply for a waiver of Department approvals.
If a waiver
application is approved by the Department, work may be completed
at non-priority disposal sites without Department approvals.
Since the site is unclassified, you should complete a Site
classification Form and include it with your waiver application.
Waiver applications and Site Classification Forms can be obtained
by writing to the Waiver Unit, Department of Environmental
Protection, Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup, One Winter Street, 5th
Floor, Boston, MA
02108.
The MCP requires Department approval of the classification
of the site as a priority or non-priority, and, unless there is
an approved waiver application for the site, the scope of work
for Phase 2 - Comprehensive Site Assessment must be completed
before work in subsequent phases can be initiated.
Site #2-0736
Page 4
Please be advised that no further remedial response actions
other than those approved by the Department may be conducted at
this disposal site without first obtaining the Department's
approval as described in 310 CMR 40.536.
These regulations
require that the Department's approval be obtained at specific
points in the remedial response process:
Scope of Work for the Comprehensive Site Assessment (Phase 2);
Final Report of the Comprehensive Site Assessment (Phase 2);
Final Remedial Response Plan (Phase 3);
Remedial Response Implementation Plan (Phase 4); and
Final Inspection Report (Phase 4).
Excavated contaminated soil stockpiled on site shall be
managed in accordance with the Department's "Management
Procedures for Excavated Soils Contaminated with Virgin Petroleum
Oils: Policy #WSC-89-001". This policy does not.a-llow on site
storage of virgin petroleum contaminated soil for a period
greater than four months unless specifically authorized by the
Department. You or your agent must submit to the Department a
proposal for the appropriate management and final disposition of
the contaminated soils stockpiled on site by March 30, 1990.
You or your agent must continue to evaluate the need for a
Short-Term Measure as defined in 310 CMR 40.542 and notify the
Department immediately if an imminent hazard exists at the site.
You must submit a proposal to perform any short-term measure if
one is deemed necessary. No short term measure may be commenced
without prior Department approval. This evaluation must continue
throughout the assessment process for this site.
Depending on the outcome of the necessary site action(s)
listed above, the Department may require additional
investigations, studies and actions.
If you fail to perform
these tasks in accordance with the provisions of the MCP, the
Department may perform the response actions.
For your information, a copy of the section of the MCP
detailing the requirements of the Preliminary Assessment and
Phase 1 submittal is enclosed. You may obtain a complete copy of
the MCP 310 CMR 40.000 from:

the

of
five
concentration levels for each parameter. The areas are then used
to calculate the response factors (RF) for each compound.
If the
RF value of the curve is less than 35% relative standard deviation
it is assumed to be invariant and can be used for calculations.
The working calibration curve is verified on each working day by
analyzing a check standard.
Each day a reagent water blank is analyzed to demonstrate that the
system and water are free of-contamination.
In order to ensure data quality a daily spike is
percent recovery is calculated.
If recoveries
recommended limits corrective action is taken.
Standard solutions are purchased from Supelco,
