On September 19, 1988 , a. one-thousand (1 , 000) gallon #2 fuel oil underground storage tank was removed from the ground at the above referenced property by LCR Tank Services . Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil one (1) foot below the excavated tank measured one-thousand seven-hundred (1, 700) ppm and a ground water sample from the same location exhibited a measured concentration thirty-nine (39) ppm. These conditions constitute a release of oil at or from the site. The prevention and/or mitigation of such a release is governed by M.G.L. , Chapter 21E, the "Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release, Prevention and Response Act, " and 310 CMR 40.000 , "Massachusetts Contingency Plan" (MCP) . On October 4, 1988 , at approximately 10:30 A.M. , a Department representative verbally notified Mrs . Saul of your joint responsibility for the release. This letter is. to inform you that: 1. Based on information available to the., Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, the Department has reason to believe that you are a responsible party with liability under M.G.L. , Chapter 21E, Section 5 (a) (1) .

All damages for the injury, destruction or loss of natural resources due to the release. The liability constitutes a debt to the Commonwealth.

In addition to the foreclosure remedy provided by the lien, the Attorney General of the Commonwealth may recover that debt or any part of it in an action against you. You may also be liable under M.G.L. , Chapter 21E, Section- 11, for up to $100, 000 in fines or penalties for each violation of Chapter 21E as well as for additional penalties or damages pursuant to other statutes or common law. The Department requires a written response within fourteen (14) days of your receipt of this letter indicating whether you intend to take the necessary response actions in lieu of the Department.
