Enforcement Actions - 2017 Enforcement Actions - 2017 December 2017 12/28/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with the town of Blandford to address Water Supply compliance issues in Blandford Under today’s Order, Blandford Water Commissioners agreed to compliance with sanitary survey requirements, corrosion- control treatment requirements as well as operational requirements. 12/26/17: MassDEP issued a Unilateral Boil Water Order to Andrews Farm Water Company for Water Supply violations in Boxford. Andrews Farm is a community public water system that serves 145 Boxford residents. On the evening of 12/23/17, there was a power outage that prevented water from being pumped from the storage tank into the water distribution system. As a result, the system lost pressure, which creates a risk of bacterial contamination. The water system notified its residents on the morning of 12/24/17 to boil the tap water before consumption. MassDEP formalized the requirement for this public notice in the Unilateral Order which also required the water system to inform town officials of the emergency, conduct coliform bacteria monitoring, and submit an Emergency Response Report within 30 days. 12/26/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with an $11,150 Penalty involving K&W Materials and Recycling LLC for operational violations in West Springfield. K&W failed to meet operational setbacks contained in their permit and for installing processing equipment without getting the required permit. As part of the settlement agreement, K&W committed to complying with the operational setbacks, obtaining the requisite permit, and paying a penalty of $2,500. An additional $9,650 was suspended pending compliance. 12/20/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with Stephen Gold, Trustee of New Resource Development Company (Boxborough Executive Office Center), for Water Supply violations in Boxborough. New Resource Development Company has agreed to establish an enforceable schedule to address violations of the drinking water regulations related to the Lead and Copper Rule. The company operates a non-transient non- community public water system that serves a population of approximately 25 persons per day. This public water system has exceeded the action levels for lead and copper on numerous occasions since 2011 and subsequently failed to submit a corrosion- control treatment proposal, conduct additional monitoring requirements, conduct public This information is available in alternate format. Contact Michelle Waters-Ekanem, Director of Diversity/Civil Rights at 617-292-5751. TTY# MassRelay Service 1-800-439-2370 MassDEP Website: www.mass.gov/dep education, and consumer notification requirements within required timelines. The public water system well has excessive levels of sodium (1,295 mg/L) and chloride (1,500 mg/L) above the guideline of 20 mg/L and the MCL of 250 mg/L, respectively. These high levels are likely contributing to the corrosiveness of the drinking water. The high levels in the well are linked to a nearby MassDOT salt storage shed and the facility is working with MassDOT under the Salt Remediation Program. Today’s Order allows the water system additional time to come into full compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule while MassDOT resolves the sodium chloride contamination in the facility’s well. The water system is required to provided bottled water, continue to conduct lead and copper monitoring, and continue to implement the public education program based upon the lead and copper sampling results. After the sodium chloride is remediated, the water system will be required to come into full compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule. 12/20/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with the town of Maynard for Water Pollution Control violations in Maynard. Today’s agreement is a second amendment to an existing Consent Order with Maynard. The original Order executed on 2/6/17 which required Maynard to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the chlorination/de- chlorination system and backup power supply and develop a corrective action plan and schedule for implementation. The amendment establishes an enforceable schedule in which Maynard will implement the corrective actions to ensure compliance with its NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit and improve water quality of the Assabet River. 12/19/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with a $4,000 Penalty involving Baystate Contracting Services, Inc., for Asbestos violations in Holyoke. Baystate Contracting Services, Inc. is an asbestos abatement company in Springfield that was retained to remove a residential building’s thermal-system insulation from boiler pipes that contained asbestos-containing material at 1470 Northampton St. in Holyoke. Upon inspection by MassDEP, a worker was observed releasing asbestos containing material from a glove bag operation due improper techniques in violation of existing regulations. 12/19/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with a $9,000 Penalty involving Baystate Home Guard, Inc., for Asbestos violations in Northampton. Baystate Home Guard, Inc. failed to adequately wet asbestos during abatement activities at 1 Prince Street in Northampton. On 4/10/17, MassDEP conducted an unannounced asbestos compliance inspection at the site. Upon arrival, MassDEP inspectors observed asbestos (thermal system insulation) removal in noncompliance with multiple state regulations in the basement fan room. Baystate Home Guard, Inc. agreed to pay the $9,000 penalty as part of the settlement agreement. 12/19/17: MassDEP Commissioner approved a Final Settlement of an appeal that was resolved in the Office of Administrative Dispute Resolutions. The original case was a Unilateral Order and Penalty issued to Gerald and Carrie Ferrindino for Wetlands violations in Hampden. Today’s Settlement includes a $56,720 Penalty with $9,000 paid and $47,720 suspended provided that the approved restoration plan is completed and the owner has no further violations. 12/18/17: MassDEP working with the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office announced that a joint motion had been filed regarding Dellbrook Construction LLC, A- Best Abatement, Inc., for environmental violations in Lowell and Haverhill with Penalties totaling $215,000. Dellbrook Construction LLC, is a Quincy-based general contractor, and A-Best Abatement, Inc., is a New Hampshire asbestos abatement contractor licensed in Massachusetts. The motion is for the court to approve a consent judgment that was entered in and allowed by Suffolk Superior Court. Specifically, to settle claims that Dellbrook and A-Best - during the demolition and renovation in the residential Mass Mills development in Lowell - violated the state’s clean air laws and regulations by causing or allowing the removal of asbestos-containing material from the basement of a five-story building without properly wetting or sealing the asbestos waste material or properly ventilating work areas or following other work practices required by law to minimize asbestos exposure. Dellbrook and A-Best also stored dry asbestos containing waste material in torn bags in a waster trailer behind the building. The consent judgment also settles claims against Dellbrook for further violations of the state’s clean air laws and regulations during the renovation work in the courtyard of the Mass Mills development in Lowell by removing asbestos-containing materials without first performing a survey or notifying MassDEP. In addition, that removing a known underground asbestos containing cement pipe prior to site development activities caused 150 linear feet of the pipe to be crushed and scattered around in open air during the construction phase at a separate site, Harbor Place, in Haverhill. The consent judgment requires Dellbrook to pay a civil penalty of $140,000 and A-Best to pay $75,000. 12/18/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with a $4,000 Penalty involving Patriot Freightliner-Western Star, LLC, for hazardous waste management violations in Westfield. Patriot Freightliner-Western Star, LLC, which owns and operates a tractor trailer parts and repair facility in Westfield, was found during inspection to be transporting waste oil without a valid license to transport. In addition, several other violations relating to the handling of waste oil at the facility were also identified. The company agreed to pay $1,500 with $2,500 suspended pending the company’s compliance with the terms of the Order. 12/18/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with the city of Fitchburg for Drinking Water violations in Fitchburg. Under today’s Order, the city has agreed to address outstanding deficiencies of the public water system identified through Sanitary Survey inspections. The city operates a public water system that serves a population of approximately 39,100 persons per day. Today’s Order outlines a schedule to repair storage tanks, pump stations, gate houses, meet cross connection requirements, improve security, and add safety features to chemical feed systems. The improvements to the public water system will help to ensure the delivery of safe and fit drinking water to its customers. 12/18/17: MassDEP entered into a Consent Order with a $30,690 Penalty involving Wheelright Water District for Water Supply violations in Hardwick.

  • Theory of Operation: How Parts Cleaning Works
    Theory of Operation: How Parts Cleaning Works MART defines the term to clean as to overpower the soils. The MART Parts Washer is a high-impact pressure, high-temperature, industrial water-based cleaning system that uses a combination of the following factors to achieve cleaning results: Power x Temperature x Chemical x Time = Clean The relationship of these variables can be varied in an infinite number of ways to achieve the same level of cleanliness. Your own needs determine the relative value of each variable. Keep in mind that the MART Parts Washer provides one of the highest blasting powers in the cleaning industry, allowing you to reduce the wash-cycle times for your parts to a minimum. Additionally, the high blasting power allows you to operate the washer at lower cleaning temperatures, thus saving energy, and using less chemical than spray washers The exact combination of the factors must be determined for your application, based on the types of soils to be removed, the degree of cleanliness required, the cycle time required, the types of parts to be cleaned, and so on. How the Parts Washer Works The parts washer operates on a timed cycle. The operator places the parts to be cleaned in the washer on the turntable, closes and latches the door, and then starts the timed cleaning cycle. During the cleaning cycle, a high-temperature, high-pressure, water-and-detergent cleaning solution blasts soils from the parts. After the cycle has stopped and the steam has exhausted, the operator removes the cleaned parts. The parts washer utilizes closed loop, waste minimization technology, continuously reusing its cleaning solution and effectively reducing pollution potential.

  • The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Is…
    BIOMATIC® The Environmentally Friendly Bioremediation Parts Washer 1 The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Is… • A Bioremediation System. The Graymills Biomatic Parts Cleaning System uses the natural technology of microbial bioremediation to reduce oils, greases and other hydrocarbons introduced into the cleaning system to water and carbon dioxide (CO2). No oil and hydrocarbon buildup means the unit continues to clean parts indefinitely (we recommend cleaning the tank once a year, but the fluid can be put back in for continued use if desired.) • A Waste Minimization System. Talking to your customers about “waste minimization” will get their attention. With the Graymills Biomatic Parts Cleaning System, users will go from monthly dumping of fluid and unit cleanup…to once a year. That’s a “waste minimization” sales story few customers can resist. • A Tough Cleaner. Aqueous based Super Biotene® is pH neutral with a mild, pleasant odor. A mixture of emulsifiers and surfactants, they contain no VOCs, so they’re EPA and air quality friendly! Super Biotene cleans grease and grime off even the dirtiest parts, then the microbes go to work, reducing the hydrocarbon contaminants (oils, greases) to water and CO2. • A Good Investment. Recycling costs are slashed…parts cleaner waste is minimized…the dirtiest parts come clean…and the system is operator friendly. 2 How The Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System Works It is important to understand that the Biomatic® Parts Cleaning System is more than individual products - it is a total cleaning environment. The Biomatic Parts Cleaning System relies on the perfect balance between the Super Biotene® cleaning solution and the microbes introduced into the system.

  • Traditional Aqueous Parts-Cleaning Operations Work Great on Day One, but Rapidly Become Contaminated
    ➤ B Y S tep H en D . te M ple , ran S O H O FF Cleaning you can count on Traditional aqueous parts-cleaning operations work great on day one, but rapidly become contaminated. Adding an ultrafiltration process to a parts cleaning system can dramatically extend and improve its performance. Traditional aqueous parts-cleaning operations can be inconsistent and costly. Machine shops and contract manufacturers dealing with a range of contaminants and heavy contaminant loads are finding they need something more. In many cases, adding an ultrafil- tration (UF) system to an existing parts cleaning system can provide cleaner parts as well as dramatically lower maintenance and operating costs. This is not to say that traditional sys- tems cannot be effective in certain situ- ations. For example, a shop can realize good bath life and part cleanliness when primarily cleaning with non- emulsified oils and when the system’s cleaning chemistry can effectively split the oil to the surface of the parts bath.

  • Industrial Parts Cleaners & Alternative Cleaning
    Welcome to Industrial Parts Cleaners & Alternative Cleaning Solutions P2 training 1 First we will look at why you clean and what are the common soils on the the substrate to be cleaned. Then we will look at parts cleaning solutions and equipment, including potential pollution prevention opportunities Then we will look at two parts cleaning exercises that examine the true costs of industrial parts cleaning and the cost and waste reduction benefits of changing cleaning solutions and cleaning equipment. Finally, we will provide a few Web sites with helpful industrial parts cleaning resources, vendor information and case studies. 2 Why do we have to clean parts… Often, its is necessary as a pretreatment step prior to painting or coating to make sure the paint stays on the part and performs as expected. Parts are cleaned as a final step after metal fabrication, stamping and assembly to wash off metal working fluids and other contaminants. Parts cleaning is also routinely occurs as a maintenance step. Most automotive shops use parts cleaning to remove grease, oils and other solids from tools, equipment and vehicle parts. 3 Whether you are looking to add parts cleaning to a process, or switch to a more environmentally-friendly process, there are important factors that must be considered. What will be cleaned, what is the contaniment or soil type, how did it get there, what is the typical part (substrate) shape and geometry? Do these parts need to be clean, what is clean, have you always cleaned the way, and what are your cleaning costs? 4 Here are some coming soil or contaminant types that occur during a pretreatment, final or maintenance step.

Aqueous Cleaning Systems Organic Solvent Cleaning Systems Semiaqueous and Hybrid Systems Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems Megasonic Cleaning Systems Carbon Dioxide Cleaning Manual Cleaning Systems Aerosol Cleaning Agents Plasma Cleaning Laser Cleaning Systems UV/Ozone Cleaning Drying Systems Filtration and Recycling Systems Wastewater Treatment Systems Cleanliness Verification Techniques Ultrasonic Cleaning Bubbling Over Ultrasonic cleaning is a good fit for a wide range of applications, from removing swarf and grinding and polishing residue to treating parts covered in oil, grease, or layers of paint. Ultrasonics can be used to clean miniature watch parts or to support the overhaul of jumbo jet engines. And from an industry perspective, the fields of electrotechnics, precision mechanics and light engineering, optics, metal processing, and medical equipment have proven particularly receptive to the ultrasonic concept. So the impact of ultrasonic cleaning is clearly recognizable. But to truly understand the value of ultrasonics, one must understand how ultrasonic cleaners really work. 2 Ultrasonic Cleaning Explained The cleansing effect of ultrasound is the product of a phenomenon called cavitation. Billions of minute gas bubbles implode, causing shock waves that undermine dirt and blast it off a part’s surface. One of the key advantages of this process is that it allows users to clean part surfaces that are completely inaccessible to a manual cleaning process. Ultrasound frequencies generally range between 20 kilohertz and 50 kilohertz, depending on application requirements. Ultrasonic cleaning is typically performed at temperatures between 122 C and 176 C.
