1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Site Description and History

The Rumford River originates in Sharon, MA at Wolomolopoag Pond. As it flows south, the river

passes through Gavins Pond, Vandy Pond, and Glue Factory Pond in Foxboro, and Fulton Pond,

Kingman Pond, and Cabot Pond in Mansfield. One and a half miles downstream of Cabot Pond, the

river has been impounded to form Norton Reservoir in Norton. Downstream of Norton Reservoir the

Rumford River flows southeast and becomes the Threemile River, which eventually merges with the

Taunton River at the Taunton-Dighton border. The Taunton River discharges to the Atlantic Ocean at

Mount Hope Bay in Fall River (ATSDR, 2001).

Between Glue Factory Pond in Foxboro and Fulton Pond in Mansfield, the Rumford River flows

through the abandoned Hatheway & Patterson Company property (Figure 1). A wood preserving

facility operated on this property from 1953 until 1993. The 40 acre property is bisected by a freight

railroad. A portion of the property was used to apply chemicals to raw lumber. Treated lumber was

laid out to dry over much of the rest of the property.

Wood treatment was accomplished by a variety of methods that changed over time. From 1953

through 1958, a solution of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in fuel oil, or creosote, was used for dipping

lumber (M&E, 2001). After dipping, chemicals were allowed to drip off of the treated wood onto the

ground surface. From 1958 through 1974, solutions of PCP in fuel oil and fluoro-chrome-arsenate

o x, BX) a'B u G,i' ' '

phenol (FCAP) salts in water were both used in a pressure treatment process. From 1960 through

1984, PCP in mineral spirits was also used to pressure-treat lumber. From 1974 to 1984, operations

incorporated PCP in fuel oil and chromated copper-arsenate (CCA) salts in water. From 1984 until

operations ceased in 1993, solutions of CCA salts in water and PCP in water were utilized at the

property. Wood was also infused with fire retardants including Dricon™ (boric acid and anhydrous

sodium tetraborate). The various wood-treating chemicals were stored in aboveground storage tanks

(ASTs), underground storage tanks (USTs), and sumps located inside and outside of the former

process buildings.

Free product consisting of oil and other chemicals used in production were ponded on top of the water

table beneath the site. In the early 1970's, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection

(MA DEP) required Hatheway & Patterson to install groundwater extraction wells to stop discharges

of free product to the river. After the company declared bankruptcy in 1993, EPA removed thousands

of gallons of chemicals from tanks on the property and covered heavily contaminated soils with asphalt

or gravel (ATSDR, 1999; M&E 2001). Subsequent investigations conducted by EPA and MA DEP

identified dioxin and metals in sediments, soils, river water, and groundwater. As a result of these

findings, MA DEP requested additional assistance from EPA for removal actions. Historical releases

from the property are believed to have been responsible for "oily water" and dead fowl in Fulton Pond

(M&E, 2001).

1.2 Ecological Investigation

M&E biologists under contract to EPA undertook a reconnaissance level habitat evaluation to help

build the foundation of a future ecological risk assessment. The first stage included review of existing

terrestrial or aquatic studies that have been conducted at the Hatheway & Patterson site or within the

watershed. EPA provided M&E with aerial site photos for review. M&E also contacted the United

States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered

Species Program (MANHESP) to determine whether any federal or state threatened, endangered, or

special concern species or critical habitats are known to exist in the vicinity of the project site. The

MANHESP atlas (MANHESP, 1999) was also reviewed to determine the presence of any estimated

habitat, priority habitat, or certified vernal pools in the vicinity of the project site. The literature review

also included a review of United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps and Natural Resources

Conservation Services (NRCS) Soil Survey for the site.

On September 19 and 20, 2001, M&E biologists visited the site to conduct a reconnaissance level

ecological survey. The field survey included a qualitative review of the site to identify upland and

wetland habitats. Wetland and upland habitats were qualitatively characterized in terms of their

dominant plant species, vegetative strata, presence of invasive species, and presence of human

disturbance/alteration. Wetland areas were identified employing a three parameter method

(hydrophytic vegetation, hydrology, and hydric soils) as described in the U.S. Army Corps of

Engineering 1987 manual. During the field visits, mammals, birds, herpetiles and benthic organisms

observed by sight or sign were recorded. Benthic organisms were collected during dip-net sweeps in

the river and identified in the field to the lowest possible taxon (usually order or family). Benthic

substrate type and water depth were also noted. Survey information was recorded on field data forms

which are included in Attachment A; note that wetlands and uplands were not formally delineated, and

vegetation dominance values are only rough estimates.

2.0 EXISTING INFORMATION

2.1 Rare, Threatened or Endangered Species

According to the MANHESP, the site is near priority or estimated habitat for the blue-spotted

salamander (Ambystoma laterale) and spotted turtle (Clemmys guttatd), both species of special

concern (MANHESP, 2001). The site is also near priority habitat which has been delineated for the

southern hairstreak (Fixsenia favonius Ontario), also a species of special concern. With the exception

of occasional transient bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus}, no federally listed or proposed,

threatened, or endangered species are known to occur in the project area (USFWS, 2001). No

certified vernal pools are registered near the area (MANHESP, 1999). Copies of these

correspondences are presented in Attachment B.

2.2 Groundwater

During Phase II drilling activities conducted by Keystone Environmental Resources, the saturated

interval was encountered at approximately 6 ft below grade throughout the site. The saturated interval

was elevated, occurring approximately 3 feet below grade where bedrock was encountered at shallow

depths (Keystone, 1989). Groundwater contour maps indicate that groundwater flows south from

County Road drawing toward the river (Keystone, 1989).

2.3 Surface Water

The Rumford River divides the site into eastern and western portions. The river flows generally from

north to south within the main facility area. The channel has been altered several times in recent history

by human activity. Prior to 1850 the channel is believed to have gone west to east through the present

treating area before cutting toward the south. The original channel bed was changed to permit

construction of the railroad. The flow system was again altered around 1945 to allow for preparation

of a major highway underpass. The bridged area through which the present channel flows is lined with

granite blocks to confine flow and control natural changes in the stream bed. Low lying marsh lies

south of the facility (Keystone, 1989).

None of the surface water bodies surrounding the Hatheway & Patterson site, including Fulton Pond or

the Rumford River, are listed in the basin classifications presented in Section 4.06 of the Massachusetts

Surface Water Quality Standards (314 CMR 4.06). All unlisted water bodies are designated as Inland

Water Class B, High Quality Waters. Class B waters are designated as habitat for fish, other aquatic

life, and wildlife, and for primary and secondary contact recreation.

2.4 Fish

The United States Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Toxic Substances and

Disease Registry (ATSDR) issued two Health Consultation publications for Glue Factory Pond,

Fulton Pond and the Rumford River (ATSDR, 1999; ATSDR, 2001). These studies have focused on

the risk to humans from consuming fish contaminated with dioxins. Fish species present in Glue Factory

Pond or Fulton Pond include white sucker (Catostomus commersoni), white perch (Morone

americand), yellow perch (Perca flavescens), chain pickerel (Esox niger), and largemouth bass

(Micropterus salmoides) (ATSDR, 1999, 2001). The testing concluded that fish collected in the

vicinity of the Hatheway Patterson property have high levels of dioxin. The studies also suggest that fish

movements in this stretch of the river are restricted between the dam at Glue Factory Pond and the

Norton Reservoir.

2.5 Birds

The Massachusetts Audubon Society provided the results of the Christmas Bird Count for the Millis,

MA area from 1972 (Count 73) to 1999 (Count 100). The Millis data set was selected because Millis

is the closest area to Foxboro which the Audubon Society monitors, and represents those species most

likely to occur on or in the vicinity of the Hatheway & Patterson site. Christmas Bird Count Data are

presented in Attachment C.

2.6 Soils

Based on the NRCS Soil Survey of Bristol County and Soil Survey of Norfolk and Suffolk Counties,

seven soil series occur on and immediately surrounding the Hatheway Patterson site. The following soil

descriptions were summarized from the Soil Surveys.

CuC - Charlton-Rock Outcrop-Paxton complex, 3 to 15 percent slopes - This map unit consists of

gently sloping, well drained soils and rock outcrop on glacial hills and ridges. This soil consists of

approximately 35 percent Charlton soil, 25 percent rock outcrop, and 20 percent Paxton soil.

Outcrops of bedrock are 5 to 50 feet apart and stones are scattered over the surface. Permeability is

moderate to moderately rapid throughout the Charlton soil; it is moderately slow to slow in the subsoil

of the Paxton soil. Available water capacity is moderate. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to

slightly acid. A seasonal high water table is perched above the substratum for brief periods in winter in

spring in the Paxton soil.

Fm - Freetown muck - This is a very deep, nearly level, very poorly drained, organic soil in

depressions and along streams and rivers. Typically, the surface layer is black muck about 13 inches

thick. The subsurface layer is dark brown and black muck about 16 inches thick. The bottom layer is

black muck to a depth of 60 inches or more. Permeability tends to be moderate or moderately rapid,

with a very high water capacity. Soil reaction is extremely acid. Depth to seasonal high water table is

approximately 0 to 1 foot below the surface. Most areas of this soil are woodland or wetland shrubs

and grasses.

HfB - Hinckley sand loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes - This soil is deep, gently sloping and undulating,

excessively drained, and located on glacial outwash deposits. Slopes are 100 to 500 feet long.

Typically, the surface layer is a very friable, very dark brown sandy loam about 1 inch thick.

Permeability is rapid in the subsoil and very rapid in the substratum. Available water capacity is very

low. Reaction ranges from extremely acid to medium acid. The root zone extends into the loose

substratum. Root growth is restricted by lack of moisture. Trees grow slowly in this soil. Dominant

tree species are eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) and red oak (Quercus rubra).

MC - Medisaorists, deep - These soils are nearly level and very poorly drained. They consist of

deposits of organic material in depressions. The soil extends to a depth of 60 inches. The depth of

mineral material ranges from 30 inches to more than 10 feet. Permeability is moderate to rapid, and

available water capacity is high. The root zone is restricted by a high water table that is at or near the

surface more than 9 months of the year. Soil reaction ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid.

PbB - Paxton very stony fine sand loam, 0 to 8 percent slopes - This soil is deep, nearly level and

gently sloping, and well drained. It is generally on the tops and upper side slopes or drumloids. Slopes

are smooth and slightly convex. Stones are scattered over the surface 20 to 50 feet apart. Typically,

the surface layer is a very friable, dark brown fine sandy loam about 3 inches thick. The subsoil is very

friable and is 27 inches thick. The upper 12 inches is a yellowish brown fine sandy loam and the lower

15 inches is light olive brown sandy loam. The substratum to a depth of 57 inches is brittle and is olive

gray. It is firm, gravelly sandy loam in the upper 10 inches and is very firm, very gravelly sandy loam

below this. Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid in the subsoil and moderately slow or slow in

the substratum. The available water capacity is moderate. The root zone extends to a depth of about

30 inches. Root growth is restricted by the very firm substratum. Reaction is very strongly acid to

slightly acid. A seasonal high water table is perched above the substratum for brief periods in winter

and spring.

StA - Sudbury fine sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes - This soil is deep, nearly level, moderately well

drained, and located on outwash plains. Slopes are commonly smooth and are 100 to 500 feet long.

Typically, the surface layer is a friable, dark brown fine sandy loam about 6 inches thick. The very

friable subsoil is 16 inches thick. Permeability is moderately rapid in the subsoil and rapid in the

substratum. Available water capacity is moderate. Reaction ranges from extremely acid to medium

acid. Root growth is restricted by a seasonal high water table which is in the lower part of the subsoil in

winter and spring. Important trees are eastern white pine and red oak.

UD - Urthodent, smoothed - Consists of areas from which soil material has been excavated and

nearby areas in which this material has been deposited. The original soil material is generally

excessively drained to moderately well drained, and ranges from level to very steep. Texture generally

ranges from sand and gravel to fine sandy loam. Permeability ranges from slow to very rapid, and

available water capacity ranges from high to very low. Gravel and cobblestones are abundant in the

area and are associated with glacial outwash soils; stones and boulders are abundant in areas that are

associated with glacial till soils.

3.0 ON-SITE INVESTIGATION

3.1 Forested Habitat

Palustrine Forest

Three areas of palustrine forested wetlands were identified on site (Figure 2).

10

! O'T

nir:'I i'-c'rJc: rv'cr coding.

Area A. Area A is a palustrine forested wetland bordering the Rumford River in the northwest comer

of the site. The herbaceous layer includes tussock sedge (Carex strictd), arrow arum (Peltandra

virginica) and sensitive fem (Onoclea sensibilis), with silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) dominating

the shrub layer, and red maple (Acer rubruni) providing the tree canopy. Topography of Area A

ranges from steep to gentle slope, draining toward the river channel. An approximately 1/2-inch layer

of leaf litter covers the ground surface, as well as rotting logs and pieces of lumber. Low branches from

trees and shrubs provide stream overhangs.

Area B. Area B is located in the southwest portion of the site. Area B borders the Rumford River to

the east; however it extends for several hundred feet to the west past the property line. The tree canopy

is dominated by red maples ranging in diameter at breast height (dbh) from 5 to 15 inches. The

dominant shrub was sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia). Tall meadow rue (Thalictrum pubescens)

was the most notable herbaceous plant. Logs and branches were noted on the ground. A 1-inch thick

layer of leaf litter covered the soil, which at the surface consisted of a layer of organic soil at least 6

inches thick. The ground surface sloped slightly to the east toward the river channel. Small depressions

and channels on the ground surface could serve as vernal pools during wet periods. Deer (Odocoileus

virginianus) tracks were observed in this area, as well as deer and rabbit (Sylvilagus sp.) scat. Gray

squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), eastern chipmunk (Timias stratus), wood frogs (Rana sylvatica),

blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata), and common crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) were directly

observed in Area B.

Area C. Area C is located east of the Rumford River, and extends south from the Area F successional

12

field to beyond the backwash channel, which is also the southern property line. The canopy layer is

dominated by red maple. Sweet pepperbush, lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium), and

winterberry (Ilex verticillatd) are notable species in the shrub layer. Herbaceous vegetation includes

royal fem (Osmunda regalis), sweet pepperbush, and lowbush blueberry. Hummocks are common

near the backwash channel, though some areas close to the backwash channel are lacking an

herbaceous layer entirely. A 1-inch thick layer of surface litter covers the ground surface, as well as

numerous decomposed logs and brush piles. The slope in this area was generally flat; small pits and

depressions suggest possible vernal pool habitat or ephemeral streams during the wet season. Much of

Area C appears to be in the flood plain of the backwash channel, though no innundation was observed

during this survey. Chickadees (Parus atricapillus), blue jays, and common crows were observed

during the survey.

Mixed Upland Forest

A small region of mixed upland forest (Area D) is located in the northwest comer of the site.

Topography in this habitat type was generally flat. White pine (Pinus strobus) and red maple dominate

the dense tree canopy. Dbh of these tree range from 2 to 12 inches. The shrub layer is dominated by

white oak (Quercus alba) and lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium). Surface litter,

consisting of decaying leaves and pine needles was approximately one inch thick. Soil appeared sandy

below the litter. Logs, boulders, stumps, snags, and blowdown were common in Area D. Tunnels and

burrows visible on the ground varied in diameter from 1.5 to 4 inches. Small depressions could serve

13

as vernal pools during wet periods. Blue jays and common crow were seen in this area. Scat, possibly

from a coyote (Canis latrans), was also noted.

Area D does not appear to have been altered by recent human activity, though a stone fence does

suggest historical use as a farm or pastureland. The leaves on the lowbush blueberry plants in this area

were mottled with gold spots approximately 3 mm in diameter, suggesting possible stress.

3.2 Successional Field

This habitat type predominates in what site maps identify as former wood storage facilities. Area E is

located in the northwest corner of the site between the Rumford River and the railroad, and Area F is

located in the southeast comer south of the railroad but north of the palustrine forest and backwash

channel. These regions of heavily contaminated soils were covered by gravel by EPA in 1993. This

area has therefore been heavily impacted by human activity. Since 1993, the gravel has been colonized

by plants typically capable of growing in disturbed or poor soil conditions. Plant species observed in

this habitat type included Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota), New York aster (Aster novi-belgf),

evening primrose (Oenothera laciniatd), butter and eggs (Linaria vulgaris); species diversity

appeared to be largely confined to these species, though various upland grasses were also noted. This

habitat type is also free of any non-herbaceous vegetation. Small shrubs, such as gray birch (Betula

populifolia) or wild cherry (Prunus serotind) grow along the edge shared with the forest. Some of the

gray birch leaves were speckled with 1 mm diameter black spots suggesting stress. No wildlife was

observed either directly or through sign except for common crows. The gravel substrate is entirely

14

without surface leaf litter though wood debris, lumber, boulders, and rocks outcrops are scattered

throughout the area. Some patches lack vegetation entirely. Stains appears to be visible on the gravel

in several places, and some gravel patches have a light green hue. The origin of an intermittently

occurring sickly chocolate odor noted throughout Area E and F, could not be identified.

3.3 Riverine and Open Water Habitats

Riverine

The Rumford River is a perennial watercourse that flows from north to south through the site. At its

northern-most point on the site, the river widens and velocity drops creating a ponded area as

discussed below. The river passes through the railroad yard and under two sets of railroad tracks

along a granite-lined channel. Once beyond the railroad yard, the river continues through the forest.

An approximately 25-foot long concrete retaining wall on the east bank is the only manmade structure

along the river channel as it enters the forest. Approximately 75 feet downstream of the retaining wall a

backwash channel runs east-west. During the site survey, the backwash channel was not inundated but

the mucky (organic) sediments were saturated at the surface.

Qualitative dip-net surveys were performed at two locations along the river. One was located at a riffle

just upstream of the concrete retaining wall (Stream Location 1), the other was located in a glide close

to the down river property line (Stream Location 2). At Stream Location 1, the Rumford river

measured 57 inches wide and a maximum 3.5 inches deep. Substrate was estimated as 20 percent

sand, 75 percent gravel, and 5 percent cobble. Flow was turbulent and riffled. No aquatic vegetation

15

was observed growing from inundated substrate, though red maples growing along the banks provided

90 percent cover above the stream bed. Banks were gently to moderately sloped. Logs and branches

deposited in the stream and branches extending from bank vegetation provided stream overhangs. The

substrate in this location had an orange tint (oxidized iron). Dip-netting revealed seven invertebrate

orders or major taxonomic groups (Table 1). A blue jay and a mourning dove (Zenaida macroura)

were seen near Stream Location 1.

Hemiptera Gerridae 6 Water strider Nymph Oligochaeta N/A 2 Aquatic worm

At Steam Location 2, the Rumford river measured 24 feet wide and up to 9 inches deep. Substrate

was estimated as 20 percent silt and 80 percent sand, and at least 1.5 feet thick. Flow was slow and

laminar. No aquatic vegetation was observed growing from the substrate, though red maples growing

on the banks provided approximately 85 percent cover above the river. Banks are almost vertical.

Logs and railroad ties deposited in the stream and branches extending from the bank provide stream

overhangs and basking sites. Dip-netting revealed three taxa of macroinvertebrates, as shown in Table

2. A bob-o-link (Dolichonyx oryzivorus), blue jay, and common crows were heard near Stream

Location 2.

Palustrine Open Water

As the Rumford River flows into the site from the culvert below County Road, velocity drops and water

becomes a palustrine open-water system referred to in this document as the pond. Emergent

vegetation was dominated by Bebbs willow (Salix bebbiana) and sweet gale (Myrica gale).

Coverage of emergent vegetation was estimated at greater than thirty percent. The remainder of the

pond was open water. Maximum water depth was 2.5 feet. Substrate consisted of 70 percent detritus

and 30 percent silt, and was at least three feet thick. An oily sheen could be seen covering the entire

water surface. The sheen did not appear brittle when probed suggesting that the sheen was not created

as a result of anaerobic processes in the pond; possible sources of oil cold be runoff from the railroad

yard or County Road. Dip-netting was conducted in two locations. The first was in open water and

the second was along the littoral zone near emergent vegetation.

Seven orders or major taxonomic groups were identified in the open water zone (Table 3) and three in

the littoral zone (Table 4). In addition to macroinvertebrates, three adult green frogs (Rana clamitans)

were observed basking in the water. A turtle nest, probably snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentind),

with desiccated egg cases approximately 1.0 to 1.5 inches in diameter were located on shore

17

approximately 40 feet from the pond at the edge of the paved access road. No birds were seen or

heard near the pond.

4.0 SUMMARY

This qualitative habitat survey suggests three main habitat types occur on the Hatheway & Patterson

property: forest (palustrine and mixed upland), successional field, and aquatic (riverine and open

water). Habitat beyond the property boundaries was not assessed. Forest is the largest of these areas,

18

followed by successional field. Aquatic habitat represents the smallest habitat unit located on site. The

successional field and aquatic habitats appeared to be the most visibly disturbed or contaminated.

Strains on gravel substrate and occurrences of plant stress suggest a stressed environment^terrestrial

environment. Sheens on surface water also suggest a stressed aquatic environment, though apparent

abundance and diversity of pollution sensitive macroinvertebrates (ex. Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera) in

the Rumford River seems to indicate otherwise. Further investigation of ecological resources, including

chemical sampling and off-site habitat surveys, are required to quantitatively estimate ecological risk.

Re: Ecological Risk Assessment along the Rumford River Mansfield, Foxborough, MA NHESP File: 01-9345

Dear Mr. Rodolakis,

Thank you for contacting the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program for information regarding state-protected rare species in the vicinity of the above referenced site. I have reviewed the site and would like to offer the following comments.

Our database indicates that the site is near Priority/Estimated Habitat PH 1216/WH 6067, which has been delineated for the Blue-spotted Salamander (Ambystoma laterals), a species of special concern in Massachusetts, and the Sported Turtle (Clemmys guttata), also a species of special concern. The site is also near Priority Habitat PH 1203, which has been delineated for the Southern Hairstreak (Fixsenia favonius Ontario), a species of special concern. These species are protected under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (M.G.L. c. 131 A) and its implementing regulations (321 CMR 10.00) as well as the state's Wetlands Protection Act (M.G.L. c. 131, s. 40) and its implementing regulations (310 CMR 10.00). Fact sheets for these species can be found on our website at www.state.ma.us/dfwele/dfw.

This evaluation is based on the most recent information available in the Natural Heritage database, which is constantly being expanded and updated through ongoing research and inventory. Should your site plans change, or new rare species information become available, this evaluation may be reconsidered.

Please do not hesitate to call me at (508)792-7270 x!54 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Christine Vaccaro Environmental Review Assistant

Antony M. Rodolakis Metcalf & Eddy 30 Harvard Mill Square P O. Box 4071 Wakefield, MA 01880-5371

Dear Mr. Rodolakis:

This responds to your August 20, 2001 letter requesting information on the presence of federally-listed and proposed, endangered or threatened species in relation to the proposed ecological risk assessment to be conducted at a site along the Rumford River in Mansfield and Foxborough, Massachusetts. Our comments are provided in accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).

Based on information currently available to us, no federally-listed or proposed, threatened or endangered species under the jurisdiction ofthe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are known to occur in the project areas, with the exception of occasional transient bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Preparation of a Biological Assessment or further consultation with us under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act is not required. Should project plans change, or additional information on listed or proposed species becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered.

Thank you for your cooperation. Please contact me at 603-223-2541 if we can be of further assistance. Please make note of our new address, as shown above.

Sincerely yours,

Michael Amaral Endangered Species Specialist New England Field Office
