The ESA was conducted pursuant to the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM E 1527-13). This assessment was conducted for the Town of Brattleboro. The owner of the property is Media News Group, Inc. The user of this document is the Town of Brattleboro. The draft Phase I ESA report for the property dated May 18, 2016 was updated to reflect LEE’s acquisition of additional information from the property owner and the document user since May 18, 2016. The property consists of 4.12-acre parcel on the south side of Black Mountain Road, east of Interstate I-91. The property hosts a newspaper manufacturing facility. The Brattleboro Reformer is the building’s sole occupant, and was partially utilizing the space. The building includes offices and conference rooms, a photo finishing area, a printing press area, an assembly area, storage for rolled paper, vending machines and other equipment, and ink and related chemical storage areas. The property also has a paved parking area and driveway. The property was first developed in 1981 according to the town lister’s office. An addition to the building was added in 1995. The building has been used for printing and newspaper related uses since it was constructed. The building is connected to town water and sewer including floor drains inside the building. It is heated and cooled with propane fired equipment and always has been. Several propane USTs are located behind (west of) the building. Two pad mounted electrical transformers are present. They were not visibly leaking during the site reconnaissance and are unlikely to contain PCBs due to their post 1980 installation. Substantial quantities of chemicals are stored and used on the property, including inks, blanket wash, acid fountain concentrate, press oils, anti strip, rubber rejuvenator, exempt wash and cleaners, photofinishing chemicals, and lubricants. Black ink is stored in an estimated 1,500 gallon above ground storage tank. The rest of the chemicals are stored in smaller containers, up to 55-gallon in size. Storage practices were adequate with no indications of substantial spills or releases to the environment. Many of the containers had ink stains on the outside but did not appear to be leaking. Walls and floors in the vicinity of ink storage and use were stained with blotches of ink, which LEE considers to be de minimis and not indicative of a release or likely release to the environment. Inside the facility, floors were in good condition with worn epoxy coatings in trafficked areas. No cracks or substantial spills were noted on the floors. One floor drain and one sub-slab vault were observed. The floor drain accepts effluent from the photofinishing process. The drain is connected to town sewer and the June 24, 2016 Page 3 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Brattleboro Reformer, 62 Black Mountain Road, Brattleboro, Vermont Brattleboro Reformer has to test the effluent periodically to insure its silver content meets standards. On June 21, 2016, the owner provided LEE with a copy of effluent testing results dated March 2016, showing silver concentrations 4.8 times the Vermont Secondary Groundwater Enforcement Standard. The vault is unused and reportedly used to contain cooling water for machinery. The water was contained in a small tank and circulated through the machinery and was not discharged from the vault. The adjoining Brattleboro North shopping center is an active hazardous site with the DEC due to an unresolved dry cleaning facility perchlorethylene (PCE) release that was discovered in 1994. Site Investigation reports indicate that that PCE is the principal contaminant on the Brattleboro North site. The maximum PCE concentration in groundwater at the site was 84 parts per billion (ppb) in 1994, compared with the state groundwater standard of 5 ppb. A survey performed in 1994 indicated that a PCE soil vapor plume was present beneath the former laundromat. PCE concentrations along the northwestern side of the soil vapor plume (closest to the property) were slightly higher than the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation’s current shallow soil VI Screening Value (5.7 micrograms per cubic meter) at a distance of 500 feet from the property line. The site investigation report states that off-site migration of the PCE contamination in groundwater is unlikely, and that vertical migration is also unlikely due to the presence of an underlying clay layer. The area of PCE groundwater contamination is approximately 650 feet south of the property in a presumed downgradient location with respect to the direction of groundwater flow. Therefore, migration of PCE to the property via groundwater is not a concern. LEE also believes that PCE soil vapor encroachment onto the property from this release is not a concern in light of the very low soil vapor concentrations reported in 1994, and its distance from the property. The Black Mountain Trailer Park, located to the northwest in a presumed cross- gradient location with respect to the direction of groundwater flow, is an inactive DEC hazardous site due to a kerosene spill that took place in 1994. Approximately 150 gallons of kerosene were spilled and a cleanup took place. Follow up groundwater monitoring determined that the contamination was adequately cleaned up. The site was moved to SMAC status in 1996. On June 20, 2016, the document user provided LEE with additional historical information concerning the past and current uses of the adjoining property to the north and west at 72 Black Mountain Road. Current uses of this adjoining property include a commercial copy shop and thrift store. Historical uses include a camera shop with possible film developing, a fence/gate manufacturing /fabrication company, and a general repair business for lawn mowers, snowplows and general repairs. The adjoining property is potentially upgradient of the property with respect to the direction of groundwater flow. June 24, 2016 Page 4 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report Brattleboro Reformer, 62 Black Mountain Road, Brattleboro, Vermont LEE has reviewed available environmental information concerning the property and has identified two Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) as defined by ASTM E1527: • Potential for contamination of the property due to disposal of silver- containing photofinishing effluent in a floor drain. • Potential for contamination of the property due to historical uses of the adjoining property at 72 Black Mountain Road. These uses include a camera shop with possible film developing, a fence/gate manufacturing company, and a lawn mower/ snowplow and general repair business. LEE

  • Echoes in the Forest
    Echoes in the Forest While hiking through an ancient wood, we came upon a heap of stone and there beyond - a fading shape swallowed by the mossy loam. Here, we paused upon our journey to contemplate and rest, when the whispers of a haunting wind seemed to answer our inquest. There was a time – a distant time field and farm spread out before us, while a song of life and love and strife was sung in human chorus -- a song of children playing, of farmers in the field, of women in the kitchen -- a song thought not to yield. But t’ was a melody in passing now no children left to play and field returned to forest once the farmer went away. The winds of time blow ever softly as they carry off the chorus, leaving remnants of that distant time like Echoes in the Forest. DK Young Stratton Families Preface Like the farm in the verse, so went most of Stratton’s homesteads – abandoned to the forest – destined to fade away beneath the mossy loam. Of course, nature has not yet reconquered all of Stratton. While no true farms remain in this town and only a scant few landowners have held back forest from field, the population of the town has rebounded, but to the tune of another lifestyle – another time. The following pages address the majority of Stratton’s inhabitants from its beginnings to the early part of the twentieth century; also many of the more recent resident families are detailed, if they wished to be included here.

  • Style Guide (Newspapers Not Part of Coordinated Advertising Program)
    State of Vermont Advertising Style Guide (Newspapers not part of Coordinated Advertising Program) The State of Vermont has a Coordinated Employment Advertising Program. This program consolidates ads from individual departments into a single State of Vermont employment ad which is placed in the Burlington Free Press (Sunday and Business Monday) and the Times Argus/Rutland Herald (Sunday). The goal of the program is to create a “brand” identity for the State of Vermont that will more effectively attract well‐ qualified candidates for employment, as well as achieve statewide costs savings by pooling advertising resources. By his memo of 3/26/07 Secretary of Administration Michael Smith has indicated that all agencies and departments are expected to use the Coordinated Advertising Program. Agencies and departments may also find it effective to advertise in regional/local newspapers that are not part of the Coordinated Advertising Program. The State’s Standard Ad template and graphic standards will be used when placing ads in these papers. To this end the State of Vermont’s Display Classified Ad template is available at the following newspapers. Addison Independent Bennington Banner Brattleboro Reformer Caledonian Record Newport Daily St. Albans Messenger Seven Days Valley News Two and three column versions, in color and black and white are available. The templates are scaleable in length meaning they can be adjusted depending on the amount of ad copy (e.g., 3 column by 3 inch or 3 column by 4 inch, etc.) in order to meet most every advertising need. Note: Some of the papers do not offer color – Addison Independent, Bennington Banner, Brattleboro Reformer, and Newport Daily.
