IV STATEMENT OF FACTS

6 The Cannons Engineering Corporation Bridgewater Site

consists of approximately 4 acres of land located in the Bridgewater

Industrial Park in the western part of the Town of Bridgewater

Plymouth County Massachusetts The site is bordered to the north

and south by lots owned by the Bridgewater Industrial Park Inc to

the west by Route 24 and to the east by First Street

7 The site consists of the following facilities the Tank

Farm Building containing 11 tanks with total storage capacity of

approximately 165000 gallons the Ready Building (used to store the

waste before processing in the incinerator) containing four tanks

with a total storace capacity of approximately 50000 gallons the

IrcirTatcr Buildirc arc adjacent fuel tank the Equipment Building

corainirg the CIC ljocrjtraquory and other facilities two box trailers

contain ira Anchor 7anlt Lir ira Inc materials three tankers two of

wnicr contain waste iquics an office trailer five grouped 30000

sailzr outdoor above- -rc--d inks underground storage tar-s arc a

septc system an urcc crounc storm drain system and an underground

drainage sump and otrer above ground debris

8 CEC purchased the property in 1974 During the period from

1974 to 1980 CEC constructed and operated the facility to handle

store and incinerate chemical wastes In 1978 and 1979 CEC applied

for and received a license from the Massachusetts Department of

Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) to operate a Hazardous Waste

Collection and Disposal Facility In June 1980 CECs 1979 hazardous

waste license was revoked by the Massachusetts Executive Office of

Environmental Affairs for hazardous waste reporting violations

-4shy

Following revocation of CECs license the court appointed a Special

Receiver to oversee the operations at the facility Because of

financial and legal difficulties CEC was unable to continue

incinerating the remaining chemical wastes stored on site On

November 28 1980 CEC stopped all operations at the site

9 An EPA investigation at the site in July 1987 found Picric

Acid and Sodium Azide present on the site Both are shock sensitive

materials and presented an explosion hazard

10 laboratory reagerts stored in bottles on shelves inside the

laboratory inside the Equipment Building include toxic substances

(carbon tetrachlorce) acids (nitric acid) oxidizers (sodium

perci-lcrate) cyanide ccrpc-rds (sodium cyanide) and f lamables

(toljcnc) Waste carpl es -ere also stored inside the laboratory

11 Anchor TarK Lrir- irc brought and left en site two box

trailers c-rcairirg r rcirecs five (illon containers cf abandoned

parts pa- remove ^ arc ctrer tank lining material These

joa-dzro-J -aterial- lt TO Ancrraquor Tank materials) were c eked in the

trailers ra precarizjs rarrer Some containers had filler to the

floor spilling their contents while others showed signs cf

deterioration and lcalaquoage

12 Also on site are several underground tanks containing waste

materials and above ground tankers also containing waste materials

13 Based on the results of his investigations on July 16

1987 EPAs On-Scene Coordinator recommended authorization of a

removal action and on this date the Regional Administrator approved

$74745700 dollars to perform the removal action On July 29 1987

site security was established by the presence of a 24 hour guard at

-5shy

the site During August a response manager and chemist under

contract with EPA arrived en site The shock sensitive materials

were desensitized and removed from the site The EPA contractors

assembled a decontamination area cleared the equipment building of

miscellaneous debris compacted together small containers into two 55

gallon drums and collected various containers and lab samples The

containers in the Ancnor tank trailer were removed to the Equipment

building opened and screened for compatibility

V ENDANGERMENT

14 A hazard exists at the site due to the presence of

chemicals abandoned in the laboratory A threat of reaction and

release s presented ry =torpoundge in the laboratory of non-compatible

rjrpfjrj ojch as acJ= gticizers cyanide ccrrpc-rcs and fllaquorrables

n close proximity The storage in structurally deteriorating

containers of Anchor an- Linings waste materials also creates a

-rreat f fire and r-lc-are An additional threat of release arises

from the sbardcrmont - s~e cf other liquid wastes and waste

materials

IV STATEMENT OF FACTS

6 The Cannons Engineering Corporation Bridgewater Site

consists of approximately 4 acres of land located in the Bridgewater

Industrial Park in the western part of the Town of Bridgewater

Plymouth County Massachusetts The site is bordered to the north

and south by lots owned by the Bridgewater Industrial Park Inc to

the west by Route 24 and to the east by First Street

7 The site consists of the following facilities the Tank

Farm Building containing 11 tanks with total storage capacity of

approximately 165000 gallons the Ready Building (used to store the

waste before processing in the incinerator) containing four tanks

with a total storace capacity of approximately 50000 gallons the

IrcirTatcr Buildirc arc adjacent fuel tank the Equipment Building

corainirg the CIC ljocrjtraquory and other facilities two box trailers

contain ira Anchor 7anlt Lir ira Inc materials three tankers two of

wnicr contain waste iquics an office trailer five grouped 30000

sailzr outdoor above- -rc--d inks underground storage tar-s arc a

septc system an urcc crounc storm drain system and an underground

drainage sump and otrer above ground debris

8 CEC purchased the property in 1974 During the period from

1974 to 1980 CEC constructed and operated the facility to handle

store and incinerate chemical wastes In 1978 and 1979 CEC applied

for and received a license from the Massachusetts Department of

Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) to operate a Hazardous Waste

Collection and Disposal Facility In June 1980 CECs 1979 hazardous

waste license was revoked by the Massachusetts Executive Office of

Environmental Affairs for hazardous waste reporting violations

-4shy

Following revocation of CECs license the court appointed a Special

Receiver to oversee the operations at the facility Because of

financial and legal difficulties CEC was unable to continue

incinerating the remaining chemical wastes stored on site On

November 28 1980 CEC stopped all operations at the site

9 An EPA investigation at the site in July 1987 found Picric

Acid and Sodium Azide present on the site Both are shock sensitive

materials and presented an explosion hazard

10 laboratory reagerts stored in bottles on shelves inside the

laboratory inside the Equipment Building include toxic substances

(carbon tetrachlorce) acids (nitric acid) oxidizers (sodium

perci-lcrate) cyanide ccrpc-rds (sodium cyanide) and f lamables

(toljcnc) Waste carpl es -ere also stored inside the laboratory

11 Anchor TarK Lrir- irc brought and left en site two box

trailers c-rcairirg r rcirecs five (illon containers cf abandoned

parts pa- remove ^ arc ctrer tank lining material These

joa-dzro-J -aterial- lt TO Ancrraquor Tank materials) were c eked in the

trailers ra precarizjs rarrer Some containers had filler to the

floor spilling their contents while others showed signs cf

deterioration and lcalaquoage

12 Also on site are several underground tanks containing waste

materials and above ground tankers also containing waste materials

13 Based on the results of his investigations on July 16

1987 EPAs On-Scene Coordinator recommended authorization of a

removal action and on this date the Regional Administrator approved

$74745700 dollars to perform the removal action On July 29 1987

site security was established by the presence of a 24 hour guard at

-5shy

the site During August a response manager and chemist under

contract with EPA arrived en site The shock sensitive materials

were desensitized and removed from the site The EPA contractors

assembled a decontamination area cleared the equipment building of

miscellaneous debris compacted together small containers into two 55

gallon drums and collected various containers and lab samples The

containers in the Ancnor tank trailer were removed to the Equipment

building opened and screened for compatibility

V ENDANGERMENT

14 A hazard exists at the site due to the presence of

chemicals abandoned in the laboratory A threat of reaction and

release s presented ry =torpoundge in the laboratory of non-compatible

rjrpfjrj ojch as acJ= gticizers cyanide ccrrpc-rcs and fllaquorrables

n close proximity The storage in structurally deteriorating

containers of Anchor an- Linings waste materials also creates a

-rreat f fire and r-lc-are An additional threat of release arises

from the sbardcrmont - s~e cf other liquid wastes and waste

materials

VI DETERMINATIONS

15 On the basis of the findings of fact and reports cited

therein EPA has determined that

a Each Respondent is a person within the meaning of

Section 101(21) of CERCLA 42 USC 9601(21)

-6shy

b Each Respondent is a potentially responsible party with

respect to some response costs incurred in connection with the site

within the meaning of Section 107(a) of CERCLA as amended 42 USC

$9607

c Many of the chemicals found on the site are hazardous

substances within the meaning of Section 101(14) of CERCLA 42

USC 9601(14)

d The past present or potential future migration of

hazardous substances it or from the Site constitutes an actual or

substantial threat of a release into the environment as those

terns are defined in Sections 101(8) and 101(22) of CERCLA as

amended

e The actu-1 releases cr threatened releases of a

naz-ror- -ubstsnco frrT the cite nay be an irmirer and substantial

encirscrrent to the rue-lie rc-alth or welfare cr the environment

w i t h i n -he rearing f 106(c) of CERCLA 42 USC sect 960G(a)

It is -c--ssary in order to protect the -ublic health

r welfare or the env rorncnt that actions be taken to abate such

cancers and threats that ray be caused by actual or threatened

release of hazardous substances from the Site For the purpose of

this Consent Order only such actions consist of the removal

activities described in the Work Plan set forth in Attachment A

hereto

g Respondents by undertaking the work activities pursuant

to this Consent Order and Attachment A will not have owned cr

possessed the Anchor Tank materials within the meaning of Section

107(a)(3) of CERLCLA as amended accordingly Respondents are not

IV STATEMENT OF FACTS

6 The Cannons Engineering Corporation Bridgewater Site

consists of approximately 4 acres of land located in the Bridgewater

Industrial Park in the western part of the Town of Bridgewater

Plymouth County Massachusetts The site is bordered to the north

and south by lots owned by the Bridgewater Industrial Park Inc to

the west by Route 24 and to the east by First Street

7 The site consists of the following facilities the Tank

Farm Building containing 11 tanks with total storage capacity of

approximately 165000 gallons the Ready Building (used to store the

waste before processing in the incinerator) containing four tanks

with a total storace capacity of approximately 50000 gallons the

IrcirTatcr Buildirc arc adjacent fuel tank the Equipment Building

corainirg the CIC ljocrjtraquory and other facilities two box trailers

contain ira Anchor 7anlt Lir ira Inc materials three tankers two of

wnicr contain waste iquics an office trailer five grouped 30000

sailzr outdoor above- -rc--d inks underground storage tar-s arc a

septc system an urcc crounc storm drain system and an underground

drainage sump and otrer above ground debris

8 CEC purchased the property in 1974 During the period from

1974 to 1980 CEC constructed and operated the facility to handle

store and incinerate chemical wastes In 1978 and 1979 CEC applied

for and received a license from the Massachusetts Department of

Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) to operate a Hazardous Waste

Collection and Disposal Facility In June 1980 CECs 1979 hazardous

waste license was revoked by the Massachusetts Executive Office of

Environmental Affairs for hazardous waste reporting violations

-4shy

Following revocation of CECs license the court appointed a Special

Receiver to oversee the operations at the facility Because of

financial and legal difficulties CEC was unable to continue

incinerating the remaining chemical wastes stored on site On

November 28 1980 CEC stopped all operations at the site

9 An EPA investigation at the site in July 1987 found Picric

Acid and Sodium Azide present on the site Both are shock sensitive

materials and presented an explosion hazard

10 laboratory reagerts stored in bottles on shelves inside the

laboratory inside the Equipment Building include toxic substances

(carbon tetrachlorce) acids (nitric acid) oxidizers (sodium

perci-lcrate) cyanide ccrpc-rds (sodium cyanide) and f lamables

(toljcnc) Waste carpl es -ere also stored inside the laboratory

11 Anchor TarK Lrir- irc brought and left en site two box

trailers c-rcairirg r rcirecs five (illon containers cf abandoned

parts pa- remove ^ arc ctrer tank lining material These

joa-dzro-J -aterial- lt TO Ancrraquor Tank materials) were c eked in the

trailers ra precarizjs rarrer Some containers had filler to the

floor spilling their contents while others showed signs cf

deterioration and lcalaquoage

12 Also on site are several underground tanks containing waste

materials and above ground tankers also containing waste materials

13 Based on the results of his investigations on July 16

1987 EPAs On-Scene Coordinator recommended authorization of a

removal action and on this date the Regional Administrator approved

$74745700 dollars to perform the removal action On July 29 1987

site security was established by the presence of a 24 hour guard at

-5shy

the site During August a response manager and chemist under

contract with EPA arrived en site The shock sensitive materials

were desensitized and removed from the site The EPA contractors

assembled a decontamination area cleared the equipment building of

miscellaneous debris compacted together small containers into two 55

gallon drums and collected various containers and lab samples The

containers in the Ancnor tank trailer were removed to the Equipment

building opened and screened for compatibility

V ENDANGERMENT

14 A hazard exists at the site due to the presence of

chemicals abandoned in the laboratory A threat of reaction and

release s presented ry =torpoundge in the laboratory of non-compatible

rjrpfjrj ojch as acJ= gticizers cyanide ccrrpc-rcs and fllaquorrables

n close proximity The storage in structurally deteriorating

containers of Anchor an- Linings waste materials also creates a

-rreat f fire and r-lc-are An additional threat of release arises

from the sbardcrmont - s~e cf other liquid wastes and waste

materials

1974 to 1980 CEC constructed and operated the facility to handle

store and incinerate chemical wastes In 1978 and 1979 CEC applied

for and received a license from the Massachusetts Department of

Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) to operate a Hazardous Waste

Collection and Disposal Facility In June 1980 CECs 1979 hazardous

waste license was revoked by the Massachusetts Executive Office of

Environmental Affairs for hazardous waste reporting violations

-4shy

Following revocation of CECs license the court appointed a Special

Receiver to oversee the operations at the facility Because of

financial and legal difficulties CEC was unable to continue

incinerating the remaining chemical wastes stored on site On

November 28 1980 CEC stopped all operations at the site

9 An EPA investigation at the site in July 1987 found Picric

Acid and Sodium Azide present on the site Both are shock sensitive

materials and presented an explosion hazard

10 laboratory reagerts stored in bottles on shelves inside the

laboratory inside the Equipment Building include toxic substances

(carbon tetrachlorce) acids (nitric acid) oxidizers (sodium

perci-lcrate) cyanide ccrpc-rds (sodium cyanide) and f lamables

floor spilling their contents while others showed signs cf

deterioration and lcalaquoage

12 Also on site are several underground tanks containing waste

materials and above ground tankers also containing waste materials

13 Based on the results of his investigations on July 16

1987 EPAs On-Scene Coordinator recommended authorization of a

removal action and on this date the Regional Administrator approved

$74745700 dollars to perform the removal action On July 29 1987

site security was established by the presence of a 24 hour guard at

-5shy

the site During August a response manager and chemist under

contract with EPA arrived en site The shock sensitive materials

were desensitized and removed from the site The EPA contractors

assembled a decontamination area cleared the equipment building of

miscellaneous debris compacted together small containers into two 55

gallon drums and collected various containers and lab samples The

containers in the Ancnor tank trailer were removed to the Equipment

building opened and screened for compatibility

V ENDANGERMENT

Following revocation of CECs license the court appointed a Special

Receiver to oversee the operations at the facility Because of

financial and legal difficulties CEC was unable to continue

incinerating the remaining chemical wastes stored on site On

November 28 1980 CEC stopped all operations at the site

9 An EPA investigation at the site in July 1987 found Picric

Acid and Sodium Azide present on the site Both are shock sensitive

materials and presented an explosion hazard

10 laboratory reagerts stored in bottles on shelves inside the

laboratory inside the Equipment Building include toxic substances

(carbon tetrachlorce) acids (nitric acid) oxidizers (sodium

perci-lcrate) cyanide ccrpc-rds (sodium cyanide) and f lamables

(toljcnc) Waste carpl es -ere also stored inside the laboratory

joa-dzro-J -aterial- lt TO Ancrraquor Tank materials) were c eked in the

trailers ra precarizjs rarrer Some containers had filler to the

floor spilling their contents while others showed signs cf

deterioration and lcalaquoage

12 Also on site are several underground tanks containing waste

materials and above ground tankers also containing waste materials

13 Based on the results of his investigations on July 16

1987 EPAs On-Scene Coordinator recommended authorization of a

removal action and on this date the Regional Administrator approved

$74745700 dollars to perform the removal action On July 29 1987

site security was established by the presence of a 24 hour guard at

-5shy

the site During August a response manager and chemist under

contract with EPA arrived en site The shock sensitive materials

were desensitized and removed from the site The EPA contractors

assembled a decontamination area cleared the equipment building of

miscellaneous debris compacted together small containers into two 55

gallon drums and collected various containers and lab samples The

containers in the Ancnor tank trailer were removed to the Equipment

building opened and screened for compatibility

V ENDANGERMENT

14 A hazard exists at the site due to the presence of

chemicals abandoned in the laboratory A threat of reaction and

release s presented ry =torpoundge in the laboratory of non-compatible

rjrpfjrj ojch as acJ= gticizers cyanide ccrrpc-rcs and fllaquorrables

n close proximity The storage in structurally deteriorating

containers of Anchor an- Linings waste materials also creates a

-rreat f fire and r-lc-are An additional threat of release arises

from the sbardcrmont - s~e cf other liquid wastes and waste

materials
