2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION TOPICS:
(Down To Earth – Tim Carr)
2.3.1 RAP Application to DEEP:
02/20 TC: Meeting last week w/DEEP went well. Have some
followup with them but they have internal discussions to have &
get back to us. EK: There is no official approval on the RAP – just
have to respond to DEEP comments. We are in good shape on the
RAP application – not holding up construction.
02/27 TC: Same.
03/05, 03/12, 03/19 Not reviewed.
2.3.2 Injection System: (related topic below: equipment in Bldg M
Basement)
02/20 TC: Still on hold until after closing. Shouldn’t be doing
remediation on someone else’s property. EK: Any weather-
driven dates? TC: Storing & mixing water-based solutions on the
ground would require to hold off until after any threat of hard
freeze. EK: May 1 start date? TC: Yes. Assume injection process
will take 1 month, then monitor for 4 months. DEEP was helpful
in being flexible with subsequent injections. After initial
injection, the process runs through within 6 months. 80% chance
of initial injection being successful. EK: Give me the exact cost of
starting this before closing.
02/27 TC: Working on cost - meeting with vendor next Tuesday.
Need Eversource contact to install insulating fleece on the wires
because we will be within 10 feet of the wires. PL: Will send

02/20 TC: Working on disposal of stockpile – we have approval for

is the key to this. PL: Parking is getting tight but we can wait for
removal of stockpile.

2.3.5 Equipment in M Basement:
02/20 TC: Equipment could be moved & stored while it is shut
down during the injection process. It is an old system – should be
scrapped. The problem is if we need to use it again, it would
need to be reconnected. I will try to find a temporary system that
