These properties are part of the larger Disposal Site associated with parent RTN 3-38210, and also include portions of the properties at 9 Cedar Road, 15 Cedar Road, 16 Cedar Road, and 16 Barnes Road (the “Site”). This LSP Evaluation Summary is specific to 12 Cedar Road, 14 Cedar Road, 14 Barnes Road, as well as 16 Barnes Road, and has been prepared in response to an email request from Erik Johnson of MassDEP on December 20, 2023 to confirm or refute that no Imminent Hazard (IH) condition exists at the Site for non-asbestos containing OHM with the inclusion of the November 2023 asbestos testing results. It is also noted that BES has received technical feedback from Grady Dante of the MassDEP Bureau of Air and Waste (BAW) Division via email on January 12, 2024, regarding the recent asbestos testing results and has been included in this LSP Evaluation Summary. A qualitative IH Evaluation has been prepared in support of this LSP Evaluation in accordance with 310 CMR 40.0321. This LSP Evaluation Summary has concluded that Site conditions do not represent an Imminent Hazard, and are consistent with previously provided LSP Opinions regarding Imminent Hazard for non-asbestos containing OHM. ---PAGE BREAK--- LSP Evaluation Summary – RTN 3-38273 Page 2 of 5 Cedar and Barnes Road, Salem, MA February 2024 Blackstone Environmental Solutions, LLC 76 Bay View Drive Shrewsbury MA 01545 (508) 612-4738 · www.bes-env.com DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA The Site consists of approximately 15 acres of undeveloped land along Highland Avenue, Barnes Road, and Cedar Road. The topography varies greatly across the Site. The lowest topography area is located on the southeastern portion of the Site. Site access is restricted from Highland Street and Cedar Road with a security fence installed by the abutting property owner, Berman Properties LLC to the west. The rear east) of the Site is surrounded by dense wooded vegetation and wetlands. Access to the central portions of the subject parcels is restricted from the north and south due to the dense woodlands, steep downward sloped topography and rocky terrain. Access to the Site is further complicated during the late spring through mid-fall season due to low visibility from the leaf bearing trees as well as concerns of poison ivy/oak and flies/bugs/insects. During the late fall and winter seasons, ground freezing and/or snow covered conditions exist and thus, presents another set of challenges for safely accessing the Site. No evidence of any recent land disturbance/ trespassing to the Site was observed by BES during several Site visits. Surrounding properties to the north, west, and south are utilized for commercial and residential purposes. A large warehouse redevelopment project is currently under construction at 355 Highland Avenue the “Berman Property”). Residences abut the Site to the southwest and south. Utilities servicing the surrounding properties include municipal water, sewer, overhead telephone and electrical lines and natural gas. A mapped surface water body abuts the Site to the east and appears to discharge into the Forest River. The Forest River is located approximately 900 feet to the east of the Site. The Site is not located within one-half mile of any Zone II groundwater supply areas, potentially productive aquifers, Interim Wellhead Protection Areas (IWPA), Zone A areas, sole source aquifers, public water supplies, and certified vernal pools. According to the Salem Board of Health, there are no registered private drinking water wells located within 500 feet of the Site. RECENT ASBESTOS SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION On behalf of the Trusts, Axiom Partners, Inc., of MA (AXIOM) performed bulk sampling of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and collected surficial (within top 1 foot of the surface) soil samples adjacent to locations of suspect ACM on November 13 and 14, 2023. The suspect ACM and soil samples were collected by David Rooney of AXIOM, a Massachusetts-licensed Asbestos Inspector (License #AI 061851). The asbestos assessment areas included portions of 14 Barnes Road, 16 Barnes Road, 12 Cedar Road, 14 Cedar Road, and 16 Cedar Road. An Asbestos Testing Report was prepared by Axiom, dated December 8, 2023 and has been included with this LSP Evaluation Summary as an attachment. A summary of findings outlined in the Asbestos Testing Report is noted below: ---PAGE BREAK--- LSP Evaluation Summary – RTN 3-38273 Page 3 of 5 Cedar and Barnes Road, Salem, MA February 2024 Blackstone Environmental Solutions, LLC 76 Bay View Drive Shrewsbury MA 01545 (508) 612-4738 · www.bes-env.com No evidence of friable asbestos-containing materials was observed by Axiom’s state- certified licensed asbestos inspector at the Disposal Site; The floor tile debris pile sample at 16 Barnes Road was confirmed via laboratory analysis to contain non-friable asbestos. None of the other 6 analyzed debris material samples collected at the Disposal Site tested positive for asbestos; and Asbestos was detected in 4 of the 12 analyzed soil samples collected from within the Disposal Site. Axiom recommended that further assessment of soil and potential asbestos containing material be performed at this time in order to develop an Asbestos Management Plan for the Disposal Site. IMMINENT HAZARD REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR ASBESTOS Pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0426, an IH evaluation shall be performed as part of an IRA at sites where a release or threat of release could pose an IH to human health, safety, public welfare, or the environment, as described in 310 CMR 40.0321 and 40.0950. For asbestos in soil, the applicable MCP citation for evaluating a could pose Imminent Hazard is addressed under section 310 CMR 40.0321. The conditions indicative of an IH, along with site specific responses that address the conditions follow: 40.0321(1)(F): A release to the environment which produces readily apparent effects to human health, including respiratory distress or dermal irritation. Inhalation is the primary exposure route of concern for asbestos. Axiom made a determination that ACM material is non-friable; and therefore, poses a lower risk of releasing airborne fibers. Secondly, the Trusts have no immediate plans to perform any surficial excavation activities that have the potential to generate dust and result in asbestos levels in air that may pose a human health risk. 40.0321(2)(B): A release to the environment indicated by measurement of hazardous material at the ground surface or within a depth of 12 inches below ground surface at any location within 500 feet of a residential dwelling, school, playground, recreation area or park, unless access by children is prevented by means of bituminous pavement, concrete, fence, or other physical barrier. It is the opinion of BES that physical barriers that were presented in the “Description of the Site and Surrounding Area” section of this submittal restrict access by trespassers to the locations where asbestos was detected in soil at locations #8 and #14/#16/#17, respectively. ---PAGE BREAK--- LSP Evaluation Summary – RTN 3-38273 Page 4 of 5 Cedar and Barnes Road, Salem, MA February 2024 Blackstone Environmental Solutions, LLC 76 Bay View Drive Shrewsbury MA 01545 (508) 612-4738 · www.bes-env.com Currently, the discovery of asbestos contamination in soil has not met any of the of the aforementioned IH reporting requirements for this Site. This opinion is based on current conditions at the Site. This opinion will be revisited if future investigation and assessment is not consistent with Site conditions characterized to date. TECHNICAL FEEDBACK FROM MASSDEP BUREAU OF AIR AND WASTE On December 15, 2023, BES provided a copy of the Axiom Asbestos Testing Results to the MassDEP BAW for technical comment. BAW involvement in this Site is due to the fact that asbestos decontamination waste material was generated during the subsurface investigation program which is regulated by BAW under the solid waste regulations, 310 CMR 19.00. Grady Dante, Asbestos Section Chief for BAW Division provided two recommendations to BES via email on January 12, 2024 and is summarized below. 1. Install Asbestos Warning Signs - BES and the Trusts agree with this recommendation and will be implementing at the Site within the next 60 days. 2. Securing the Site - It is the opinion of BES that physical barriers that were presented in the “Description of the Site and Surrounding Area” section of this submittal are providing adequate site control measures. It should also be noted that BES and the Trusts will be implementing additional site security measures noted below: BES personnel will perform quarterly Site visits and inspect the integrity of the existing fencing and new signage. BES personnel will look for evidence of any recent land disturbance/trespassing to the Site and conditions of ACM; and The floor tile debris pile containing ACM material at 16 Barnes Road will be covered with a layer of 6-mil plastic until removal by a licensed asbestos contactor. CONCLUSIONS A qualitative IH Evaluation has been prepared in support of this LSP Evaluation in accordance with 310 CMR 40.0321. This LSP Evaluation Summary is specific to the locations at 12 Cedar Road, 14 Cedar Road, 14 Barnes Road, as well as 16 Barnes Road, and incorporates the November, 2023 asbestos testing results provided by Axiom. This LSP Evaluation Summary offers the following conclusion: Site conditions do not represent an Imminent Hazard regarding ACM, and are consistent with previously provided LSP Opinions regarding Imminent Hazard for non-ACM OHM reported at the Site. Additional assessment is planned to be conducted under Immediate Response Actions (IRA) to further delineate ACM and other OHM identified at the Site. The Site will continue to be ---PAGE BREAK--- LSP Evaluation Summary – RTN 3-38273 Page 5 of 5 Cedar and Barnes Road, Salem, MA February 2024 Blackstone Environmental Solutions, LLC 76 Bay View Drive Shrewsbury MA 01545 (508) 612-4738 · www.bes-env.com assessed and monitored for potential Imminent Hazards, as well as Critical Exposure Pathways (CEPs) and Substantial Release Migrations (SRMs) as defined in the MCP. The next regulatory deliverable for the Site is an IRA Status Report, due to MassDEP on June 5, 2024. This report will document the assessment activities performed during the monitoring period as well as the quarterly site inspections to verify the integrity of the fencing and signage, and evidence of any recent land disturbance/trespassing to the Site.
