NOI MEMO - IRA Remediation & Alternatives Analysis

Date: July 16,2020

RE: Bloody Brook Farm144North Main StreetSouth Deerfield, MA 01373

RTN: #1-21110OHI Project #20-2038

On June 23, 2020 three (3) 275-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) and an associateddispenser pump were removed from the paved area south of the barn at Bloody Brook Farm inSouth Deerfield (Figures 1). Bloody Brook Farm consist of two lots. Lot 76 contains the houseand main former dairy barn with several silos. Lot 81 contains most of the agricultural land andwas placed inAgricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) with the Commonwealth of Mass in2007 (Figures 2-3). Figure 4 is a Phase I Priority Resource Map from MassDEP/GIS, andFigure 5 is a portion of the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the Site area. Bloody Brookflows south through the front lawn of the property, west of the house and parallel to North MainStreet. The unnamed tributary brook which is the subject of this Notice oflntent (NOI) flowsfrom northeast to southwest, south of the IRA Remediation Area, and joins Bloody Brooksouthwest of the house and barn. The IRA Remediation Area is within the Buffer Zone and theRiverfront Area of the unnamed brook. The most southerly tip of the IRA Remediation Areamay be located within the Zone B 100-year flood zone, a Bordering Land Subject to Flooding.The IRA Remediation Area is primarily located on the APR Lot 81, but the former USTs anddispenser pump were close to the property line with Lot 76.

1) UST Removal

On June 23, 2020 three (3) 275-gallon underground storage tanks (USTs) and an associateddispenser pump were removed from the paved area south of the barn as shown on Figure 6. TheUSTs and pump were estimated to be over 60 years old; however, there were no specific recordsavailable to accurately date them. One UST reportedly contained diesel fuel, one super unleadedgasoline, and one regular gasoline. Upon removal, two holes were observed near the bottom ofthe regular gasoline UST. The USTs were evacuated with C02 and transported to MassTank inChicopee, MA for disposal.

During this UST removal work, it did not occur to us that the tanks and pump were within thebuffer zone of a stream or that we were within a riverfront area; the yard by the barn was fullypaved and the nearby unnamed stream obscured by vegetation.

Soil at a depth of one foot below grade near the regular gas UST and near the pump registered386 to 409 parts per million (ppm) on the photoionization detector (PID) and smelled of

Mansfield, MA Amherst, MA Chester, VT

gasoline. Black sand near the base of the USTs registered 234 to 265 ppm on the PID. Soil withPID field screening values over 100 ppm collected within 10 feet of a UST is a 72-hourreportable condition to MassDEP under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (310 CMR40.0000). MassDEP was notified of the gasoline release to soil at 11:59 am on June 23, 2020.Mr. Tony Kurpaska of MassDEP issued Immediate Response Action (IRA) approval to excavateup to 100 cubic yards of petroleum-impacted soil.

2) Assessment of Extent of Petroleum-Impacted Soil

After the USTs were removed, a trench test pit was excavated on the far side of driveway towardthe brook, which by then had been noted, which revealed the cross section of petroleum impactsin the direction of the brook. PID values near the center of the trench ranged from 159ppm to296 ppm, and were lower at the east and west ends of the trench. The top two to three feet of soilin the trench did not appear to have been impacted. The ground surface of the trench sloped withthe driveway toward the brook and the depth to groundwater was around eight feet below gradeat the west end of the trench and approximately five feet below grade at the east end closer to thebrook where the land was lower. The highest readings in the trench were between three and sixfeet below grade.

An additional test pit excavated between the trench test pit and the brook showed 1.4 ppm in soil,indicating that impacted soil extended to about the edge of the mowed lawn.

Based upon initial field observations and field screen results, impacted soil extendsapproximately five feet west, ten feet north and 15 feet east of the UST grave, and south toapproximately the edge of the mowed grass, the petroleum-impacted soil area is roughly 30 feetwide by 60 feet long, or 1,800 square feet. The impacted thickness above the observed watertable was five feet at the UST grave and closer to 3-4 feet thick at the trench test pit. Using anaverage 4-foot thickness, there is approximately 7,200 cubic feet or 266 cubic yards ofpetroleum-impacted soil. At 1.5 tons per yard, this equates to approximately 400 tons ofimpacted soil. A trailer dump truck can transport up to 33 tons, which would be 12-14 trailerdumps of soil. The initial laboratory results received a week later indicate the impacted soil areamay be slightly smaller than initially assumed in the field, so the cost estimate uses a range of300-400 tons of impacted soil.

On July 10,2020, Tony Kurpaska of MassDEP was notified of the estimated volume of impactedsoil and the approved volume for IRA excavation was increased to 300 cubic yards.

3) Notice of Intent

In order to conduct the IRA impacted-soil excavation work, a Notice of Intent (NOI) must befiled with the Deerfield Conservation Commission and MassDEP. On July 6, 2020, wetlandboundaries near the work area were flagged by Bill Lattrell, PWS, of Lattrell EcologicalConsulting, LLC in Colrain, MA.

On July 12,2020, Daniel Salls, PLS of Sunderland, MA surveyed the wetland flags. A copy ofthe NOI Site Plan prepared by Daniel Salls, PLS showing the location of the former USTgraves, the barn, the paved barnyard, the farm road, and the wetland boundaries as flagged in thefield is included in Appendix B.

3.1 Alternatives AnalysisThe goal of the IRA under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP; 301 CMR 40.0000) is toreduce the concentration of petroleum to background. Inthis case, that would likely involveremoval of soil beyond the paved barnyard and mowed lawn area and into the unmaintainedwetland vegetation along the brook, including the stand of mature spruce trees just south of thefarm road.

The MCP is a risk-based set of regulations. Under the MCP, if the average concentration ofpetroleum constituents is below the Method 1 Standards, the Site is considered to meet acondition of No Significant Risk. Therefore, if the IRA soil excavation is successful in removingpetroleum from the soil down to low-enough concentrations along most of the sidewalls andbottom of excavation, the presence of one or two confirmatory samples with petroleum aboveMethod 1 standards will not adversely influence the average soil concentrations.

Using this logic, we intend to excavate petroleum impacted soil as necessary from the immediatevicinity of the UST graves, from under the paved barnyard, and from under the mowed lawn, butstop several feet short of the southerly edge of the mowed lawn. Our plan is to remove the bulkof the petroleum-impacted soil, retain the cluster of spruce trees, not disturb unmaintainedwetland vegetation, and still meet the requirements of and allow closure of the Site under theMCP.

Backfill and compaction of the excavation will be to pre-existing grade. The lawn area will bere-planted as grass lawn. The farm road and disturbed barnyard area will be backfilled andcompacted and topped with a TRG-type gravel suitable for use by heavy farm machinery. Therewill be no net change in flood storage volume. There will be an increase in permeable surfacesas the paved portions of the barnyard and farm road removed for the excavation will not be re-paved, they will have a compacted gravel surface.

Silt fence erosion control will be installed on the three downhill sides of the work area as shownon Figure 6 and the surveyNOI Site Plan. No silt fence is proposed on the paved uphill side ofthe work area between the garage and barn.

Re:Wetland Delineation, 144 N. Main St., South Deerfield, MA

Dear Ms. Kelly:

At your request, Lattrell Ecological Consulting LLC visited the above site on July6, 2020 in order to delineate the boundaries of wetlands under the jurisdiction ofthe Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MGL Ch. 131, Section 40) and FederalWetland jurisdictions (Sections 401 and 404 of the US Clean Water Act).

Delineation MethodololO'

A section of the Mean Annual High Water Line near planned work was delineatedalong a perennial unnamed tributary to Bloody Brook on your property at 144 N.Main Street. Although the stream appears as a thin blue line on the USGSWilliamsburg Quadrangle the required USGS Streamstats investigation revealedthat the stream has a watershed of .95 square miles and the flow duration flowstatistics report states that the stream has a flow of 0.138 cubic feet per secondflow during the 99% duration which surpasses the minimum flow of .01 requiredfor this stream to be considered as a perennial stream under the regulations of theMA Wetlands Protection Act. Only the side of the perennial stream where work isbeing proposed was delineated. Under the MA Wetland Protection Act Regulationsthe mean annual high water line is defmed as " Mean Annual High-water Line of ariver is the line that is apparent from visible markings or changes in the character

Lattrell Ecological Consulting LLC Page 1


of soils or vegetation due to the prolonged presence of water and that distinguishesbetween predominantly aquatic and predominantly terrestrial land." On this sitephysical characteristics such as change in vegetation, break in slope, or signs of ahigh water mark like stick dams and deposited debris provided a clear presentationof the Mean Annual High Water line. The top of bank of the stream is coincidentwith the Mean Annual High Water Line. The edge of the Mean Annual High WaterLine is identified with orange surveyor's tape numbered MAHW-1 throughMAHW-9. Supplemental information gathered including the USGS Streamstatsreport which revealed that the bankfull width of was 15.6 feet which closelymatches what was found in the field.

For delineating Bordering Vegetated Wetlands the Wetland Regulations at 310 CMR10.55 allow the use of hydrology and vegetation when delineating the boundary ofBordering Vegetated Wetlands (BVW) and so the wetlands were delineated usingboth of these parameters. The vegetated wetland edge was delineated using themethodology outlined in the DEP handbook Delineating Bordering VegetatedWetlands Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (1995). Hydrophyticvegetation was based upon the Army Corps of Engineers National Wetland Plant List(Massachusetts (2016), as well as all species that are listed in the Act. Wetlandhydrology includes hydric soils which were determined based upon the interagencydocument Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England, Version 4(2017). Although the wetlands have been accurately delineated, the finaldetermination of the extent of the resource areas regulated under state law can bemade only by the Conservation Commission or, upon appeal, by the MassachusettsDepartment of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Description of Bordering Vegetated Wetland" A"

This Bordering Vegetated Wetland would be classified in Cowardin system as aPalustrine Emergent Wetland containing grasses, sedges, and other herbaceoushydrophytes. The wetlands delineated also include small areas of PalustrineShrub/Scrub and Forested swamp containing broadleaf species. The wetland isdelineated by pink stake flags and pink surveyor's ribbon numbered A-I through A-10. Only the side of the wetland towards and near the area of proposed work wasdelineated.

The following plants were noted within the wetland boudaries

Mean Annual High Water Line

The section of the mean annual high water line of this perennial stream in the vicinityof planned work was delineated with orange surveyor's ribbon enumerated MAHW-1though MAHW-9.

It should be noted that Bloody Brook, another perennial stream on the property, has aRiverfront Area that intersects with this perennial tributary. Only the tributary has themean annual high water line delineated because it was nearest to the area of plannedwork.

Bordering Land Subject to Flooding

The following resource area was found on this site:

According the the most recent FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps much of this site iswithin the 100 year Floodplain. A copy of a section of this map is included with thisreport.

Wetland Resource Areas

• Bank (to an intermittent stream)• Land Under a Waterway• Riverfront Area to a perennial Stream• Bordering Vegetated Wetland• Bordering Land Subject to Flooding

Project Permitting

Following are among the many Laws and Regulations that may pertain to thewetlands on the site.

Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and RegulationsSections 401 and 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act



Under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act there is a 100-foot buffer zone toBank, measured from the edge of the Bank on this parcel. Work within this bufferzone is regulated so that there will be no adverse impact to wetlands fromconstruction. Typically, any work within this area will require the filing of either aNotice of Intent (NOI) or a Request for Determination of Applicability (RFDA)with the Conservation Commission, with copies sent to the DEP. Proposed workwithin a resource area requires the filing of a Notice of Intent unless it qualifies fora specific exemption listed within 310 CMR 10.00. Buffer zone only work may, atthe discretion of the Commission, be approved under an RFDA, while work inwetlands requires the filing of an NOr. Quite often work within 50 feet ofwetlands requires a Notice of Intent. Again, this is up to the discretion of theCommission. Generally, projects that do not alter any wetlands are approved aslong as adequate erosion control measures are provided for on the site plans.

Other Performance Standards for the individual protected resource areas (such asRiverfront Area) and Bordering Land Subject to Flooding are outlined in the MAWetlands Protection Act Regulations (310 CMR 10.00 et seq.).

According to the on-line Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas the site is not in anestimated range of rare wetlands wildlife and estimated habitats for rare wildlife.Therefore, if this is the case, it should not be required that you file a copy of thepermit filing with the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program for workwithin an estimated range of rare wildlife and with the Natural Heritage andEndangered Species Program. Please keep in mind, however, that these maps aresubject to change; the MA Fish and Wildlife website should be consultedimmediately prior to any work to ensure no estimated range sites have beenrecently mapped in this area.

Sections 401 and 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act

Section 404 is administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers. If the proposedwork will alter wetlands, but will fill less than 5,000 square feet of them, then theproject should qualify for Category I. For these projects, it is not usually requiredthat you file separately with the Corps however notification to the ACOE isrequired if any wetlands will be altered. There is a form available on their websitefor this notification.

The Massachusetts DEP administers section 401 of the Clean Water Act.Regulations at 314 CMR 9.03 allow for up to 5,000 square feet of wetlands to befilled without the filing of a separate application provided that: a final Order of



Conditions has been issued; the Order of Conditions requires at least 1:1replacement of all filled wetlands; and a number of other conditions are met, mostimportant of which is that the area is not located within any Outstanding ResourceWater (ORW). Section 401 applies only if the wetlands are jurisdictional toSection 404 of the Clean Water Act.

The surveyed site plan should be used in any application that is submitted to theDeerfield Conservation Commission and MA DEP.

Conclusion and Recommendations

The protected resource areas on this parcel have been delineated in the field. Thewetland delineation flags placed in the field should be surveyed onto a site plan ifany work will occur within 100 feet of proposed site work or within the RiverfrontArea. At a minimum, the site plan should also show existing facilities, existingtopography, the proposed work and any proposed re-grading.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this report.

Sincerely,
