enclosure along the sea wall. No oil residue was observed in 

 this trough. The filler pipe associated with this tank is 

 located along Charles River Avenue. No evidence of a recent 

 release of fuel oil on the materials in the vicinity of the 

 filler pipe was noted at the time of this site visit. 



The remaining filled portions of the site are covered with 

 asphalt material. Two storm sewer catch basins exist within 

 the property line along the west side of the concrete block 

 building. At the time of the site visit on 5 May 1988, both 

 catch basins were observed as being coated by motor oil 

 residue. Additional evidence of disposal of spent motor oil 

 was noted by an obvious oil odor emanating from both catch 

 basins, and discarded oil filters and one qpaart motor oil 

 containers located nearby. On 5 May 1988, two Fulton Box 

 Company trucks were observed parked in close proximity to these 

 catch basins. 



At the end of Charles River Avenue along the seawall, 

 construction debris has been discarded, along with additional 

 one quart motor oil containers, and auto parts. A large pile 

 of road salt has been piled on the site at the end of Charles 

 River Avenue. Under the wharf, scrap wood and bricks were 

 noted, presumably remnants of demolished structures. 



The Fulton Box Company remains in operation adjacent to the 

 site under the Charlestown Bridge. At the time of the site 

 visit, the off-site area adjacent to the Charlestown Bridge was 

 strewn with construction and demolition debris consisting of 

 PVC pipe, railroad ties, metal rails, scrap metal and wood. 

 Four 55-gallon drums were being used for refuse disposal, one 

 of which was identified as previously containing Concord grape 

 concentrate. 



A brick wall defines the eastern site boundary. An auto gas 

 tank has been discarded against this wall. At the southeast 

 corner of the property, twenty-three empty 55-gallon drums are 

 being stored. These drums are reportedly props for a 

 television program (28) . Wooden debris consisting of railroad 

 ties and pallets have also been discarded in this area of the 

 site. A large oil stain, emanating a strong waste motor oil 

 smell, was observed adjacent to the drums. Discarded motor oil 

 containers were also noted in the area. The oil has been 

 largely absorbed by sediment overlying the asphalt paved 

 surface.
