Change in Procedure for Filing Status Reports
In December 2021, MassDEP communicated to the County and BETA that based on the current project
status, monthly submissions of IRA status and remedial monitoring reports (RMR) would no longer be
required. Upon further discussion with MassDEP in January 2022, it was established that a six-month
submittal schedule for IRA Status and RMR reports will be acceptable. The first report submission within
this new schedule will be this IRA Status and RMR No.62 document. The next document will be submitted
to MassDEP sometime in July 2022; this document will detail IRA activities that have been ongoing since
the January 2022 reporting period.
However, quarterly updates regarding clean up and remediation activities of the PFAS release at the Site
will be provided to the public, more specifically those listed on the Public Involvement mailing list. These
updates will be in the form of written notices and/or public meetings.
If you have questions or comments regarding this notice or the report, please contact us at our office.

Hi Marylou,

RE: Immediate Response Action Status and Remedial Monitoring Report#38
Barnstable County Fire and Rescue Training Academy
155 South Flint Rock Road
Barnstable, Massachusetts
DEP Release Tracking No.4-26179
Project File#6206
Dear Mr. Ells,
As required by the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) 310 CMR 40.1403(3)(e) and 40.1403(6), BETA
Group, Inc.(BETA) is notifying you on behalf of our client, Barnstable County,that an Immediate Response
Action (IRA) Status and Remedial Monitoring Report (RMR) No. 39 is being submitted to the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection — Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup (MassDEP —
BWSC) for the release site referenced as the Barnstable County Fire and Rescue Training Academy
(BCFRTA) located at 155 South Flint Rock Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts (the site). This Report
summarizes the IRA activities that occurred from February 1 to February 29, 2020.
Pursuant to the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (310 CMR 40.0480), an Initial Site Investigation has been
performed at the site.A release of oils and/or hazardous materials has occurred at the site. In August 2016,
MassDEP Southeast Regional Office issued a Notice of Responsibility (NOR) to Barnstable County; as
current owner and operator of the Barnstable County Fire and Rescue Training Academy (BCFRTA), that
the detection of elevated concentrations of poly-and perfluosylalkyl substances(PFAS)in groundwater at
the site constituted a release under the MCP. MassDEP issued Release Tracking Number (RTN) 4-26179
to this release. As summarized in the NOR, based on the detected PFAS concentrations in soil and
groundwater at the BCFRTA and the inferred groundwater flow, MassDEP determined that the releases
of PFAS from the use of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) at the BCFRTA is a source of PFAS detected in
the Mary Dunn wells.
During the February 2020 reporting period, the treatment system was operable for approximately 29
days. The overall (average) system flow rate and total gallons of groundwater treated are based on the
available Effluent flow totalizer readings reported for both systems by the 0&M contractor. For the period
of February 1 to February 29, 2020, both systems treated an approximate combined 0.56 million gallons
1 .fit
of groundwater from the downgradient recovery well PRW-4 at an average total (of the two systems)
effluent flow rate of 13.3 gpm.
Approximately 0.007 kilograms of PFAs were estimated to have been removed from the plume area during
this reporting period.
PFAs breakthrough into the effluent from the activated carbon treatment system was not observed.
At this time, IRA activities are ongoing. Continuing IRA activities will include operation and monitoring
the on-Site Groundwater Pump and Treatment Systems (GWPTS), including performance sampling of
GWPTS, review and evaluation of the on-Site GWPTS operation and maintenance activities as they affect
groundwater treatment, and periodic groundwater monitoring. Additional details regarding the
continuing IRA activities are included in the IRA Status and RMR No.40 report document.
The IRA Status and RMR document is available electronically via the searchable sites database of the
MassGOV/MassDEP website via the following link:
httos://eeaonline.eea.state.ma.us/portal#!/wastesite/4-0026179
A copy of the Report is available upon request by contacting the undersigned at BETA at(508) 866.8383.
It is also available for review at MassDEP Southeast Regional Office(SERO), 20 Riverside Drive in Lakeville,
Massachusetts 02347. You also have the right to request additional Public Involvement activities under
