10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

10 Background
Atlas Tack Corporation is a 13-acre facility located at 83 Pleasant Street in Fairhaven Massachusetts (Figure 1 - Site Location Map) and was involved in the manufacture of rivets tacks eyelets and similar products (approximately 24000 different items) since 1895 The site is bounded to the south and east by marsh and to the north and west by residential dwellings (Figure 2 - Site Diagram) From the early 1940s to 1978 it maintained a 100 ft x 100 ft unlined acid-neutralizing lagoon on site for disposal of waste liquids and sludge containing heavy metals cyanide and volatile organic compounds associated with such manufacturing processes as annealing pickling plating enameling and cleaning
Atlas Tack Corporation had been discharging waste water under NPDES permit number MA 0002704 Prior to this on June 4 1974 the NPDES permit was issued with the requirement that Atlas Tack Corporation cease discharging into Buzzards Bay and instead tie into the Fairhaven sewage treatment system The Town of Fairhaven opposed this connection and on February 23 1976 proposed a connection with the Fairhaven Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) outfall By August 10 1976 compliance with the NPDES permit had not been met and an Administrative Order was issued requiring Atlas Tack Corporation to submit an engineering report in their proposed connection to the Fairhaven STP outfall along with their application for a re-issuance of their permit Compliance had still not been reached by June 22 1978 and therefore on that date an Agreement for Judgment against Atlas Tack Corporation to eliminate discharges to Buzzards Bay was issued in Suffolk Superior Court At that time discharges to the lagoon by Atlas Tack Corporation were reportedly terminated thus effecting compliance with their discharge permit
Atlas Tack Corporation was cited as a point source of pollution for direct discharge to Buzzards Bay in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) Water Quality Management Plan 1976 and a Water Quality Area Management Plan prepared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Development District February 1978 Both reports recommended a tie-in to the Fairhaven STP which was effected in 1978 The 1978 Area Management Plan also recommended further study of the lagoon to monitor the potential migration of contaminants to Pope Beach During the period 1981-1985 the MA DEQE issued Notices of Violation of Hazardous Waste Regulations against Atlas Tack for its failurerefusal to remove lagoon contents in response to community concern about possible adverse health effects which may result from any exposure to disposed materials
On January 14 1983 Goldberg-Zoino Associates (GZA) under contract to Atlas Tack Corporation to explore feasible options for lagoon closure installed an observation well approximately twenty feet from the southeast corner of the lagoon Groundwater lagoon sludge and soil samples were collected and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cyanides and heavy metals were identified The general levels of contaminants found in the groundwater directly adjacent to and presumably downgradient from the lagoon indicated that the contaminants found in the sediments were being leached into the groundwater
During the period of March 1983 to November 1985 GZA continued to serve as consultant to Atlas Tack and hired Clean Harbors Corporation Braintree MA to remove the lagoon contents in cooperation with Cecos Treatment Corporation Bristol Connecticut and Jetline

20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)

AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide

Services Stoughton MA GZA inventoried samples and removed all RCRA waste within the buildings and pumped the contents of four large underground tanks All this work was conducted under the guidance of the MA DEQE who followed a workplan generated by their contractor Wehran Engineering Methuen MA
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tasked their Field Investigation Team contractor NUS Corporation (NUSFIT) to conduct a site inspection on April 26 1984 during which time lagoon sludge surface water soil sediment and groundwater samples were collected Sample analysis included cyanide inorganics and VOCs Five VOCs were identified in samples collected from the site with toluene detected at a concentration of 3089 ppm in the marsh sediment south of the lagoon The highest concentration of cyanide (37200 ppm) was found in the lagoon sludge collected along the north side of the lagoon Fifteen inorganic substances were identified among all samples These compounds are consistent with those utilized in Atlas Tacks manufacturing processes
In 1985 the lagoon was removed from the site In February 1989 the Roy F Weston Inc Region I Technical Assistance Team (TAT) conducted a preliminary site assessment No further involvement by TAT beyond preliminary assessmentreconnaissance was recommended since the MA DEQE assumed all further responsibility for the case in cooperation with the EPA Region I Remedial Branch
On July 30 1990 the Roy F Weston Environmental Services Assistance Team (ESAT) at the request of the EPA conducted an ecological assessment of the site which involved the collection of soil and sediment samples The detection of metals at levels up to 9000 ppm during preliminary analyses suggested that the area may pose a threat to the local population via direct contact
20 Objectives
The objective of the sampling survey is to obtain sufficient analytical data from a representative number of samples which can be used to determine whether further actions at the site by the US EPA Region I Emergency Planning and Response Branch (EPRB) are necessary
30 Quality Assurance Levels
The quality assurance (QA) levels for the on-site screening activities will be QA1 These activities include the use of the following instrumentationtest equipment
HNU Systems Inc Photoionization Detector (HNU PID)
Mine Safety Appliances Model 260 Combustible Gas IndicatorOxygen Alarm
Victoreen Radiation Meter (Model 490)
The QA level for the samples analyzed at the laboratory will be a modified QA2 The QA levels are described in OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990-Interim Final) Quality
AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice

AssuranceQuality Control Guidance for Removal Activities Sampling QAQCPlan and Data Validation Procedures It is anticipated that QA1 and QA2 will satisfy most data quality requirements for the Removal Program
See Section 60 for quality assurance requirements
40 Approach and Sampling Methodologies
The sampling survey will be conducted on or about November 25 1991 Samples have been identified using an internal classification of low mid and high-level concentrations which refers to the anticipated level of potential contamination This classification system was instituted by EPRB and the US EPA New England Regional Laboratory (NERL) in May 1991 The classification system and relative sampling protocols used to develop this sampling plan are described in a Roy F Weston draft inter-office memorandum dated June 6 1991 which has been submitted for comment to EPRB and NERL Sludge samples will be collected for but are not limited to analyses for mid-level metals and total and amenable cyanide
41 Sludge Samples
Up to five (5) sampling locations will be selected by Site Investigator Mary Ellen Stanton (Figure 3 - Sampling Location Diagram) Sludge samples will be collected at each location for each of the 4 parameters as listed in Section 40 Disposable plastic spoons will be used for the samples collected for metals and total and amenable cyanide analyses Metals samples will each be contained in one 4-ounce glass jar which will be half full and preserved on ice and cyanide samples will each be contained in one 8-ounce glass jar and will be preserved on ice
The samples will be screened in the field prior to sample collection if practical to determine the location and quantity of samples to be collected The samples will be containerized preserved and analyzed in accordance with Table 1 US EPA chain of custody procedures will be utilized for all sampling activities Samples will be disposed of by the laboratory performing the analyses All contaminated sampling materials will be disposed of by NERL

Margaret Shaw Quality Control Monitor
The quality control monitor shall record quality assurance checks and any problems or corrective actions taken associated with the sampling and sampling plan The quality control monitor shall also be responsible for completeness and accuracy of the chain of custody record
60 Quality Assurance Requirements
The analyses will be performed at NERL The samples designated as high-level will be analyzed to indicate the presence or absence of contamination above a threshold value High-level QA protocols will include semi-quantitation of high levels of target specific compounds based on a known standard The samples designated as mid-level will be analyzed to determine definitive identification and quantitation of contaminates Mid-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and multiple standards Samples designated as low-level are usually drinking water samples or samples collected for enforcement purpose Low-level QA protocols will include a laboratory blank matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate and multiple standards
70 Deliverables
A report documenting all project activities will be generated by TAT Based on visual observation and exact sampling locations selected in the field a site diagram and sample location map will be prepared and included in the final sampling QAQC plan Any modifications to the practices in the original sampling QAQC plan will be documented in this report when it is finalized in order to reflect what was actually done in the field
80 Data Validation
A data quality review of the sample analyses will be conducted by TAT andor NERL personnel The data will be evaluated according to OSWER Directive 93604-01 (April 1990 - Interim Final)
QA level 1 data will be evaluated for calibration and detection limits
