    Re: Former Buckley & Mann Site; 17 Lawrence Street, Norfolk, MA 02056 (the“~j~”); RTN 2-3000173; PIP Status Update Meeting Request

    Dear Ms. Myatt:

    My client, Buckley & Mann, Inc., is in receipt of your request, dated March 18, 2019, for a PIPStatus Update Meeting with respect to the above referenced Site.

    As you may be aware, Buckley & Mann is the current owner of the Site; however, forapproximately six and half (6 ‘/2) years the Site has been under a Purchase & Sale Agreement withThomas W. DiPlacido, Jr. (the “PSA”). Pursuant to the PSA, as amended, Mr. DiPlacido hadcontrol over the Site and was pursuing local and state approvals (including the MCP responseactions) for the redevelopment of the Site.

    Accordingly, Mi. DiPlacido engaged Mr. Stephen A. Vetere, LSP, of Mabbett & Associates, Inc.,to conduct MCP response actions with respect to the Site on his behalf. Mr. DiPlacido’ s statusunder the MCP is legally an “Other Person” (.~prospective purchaser). These response actionsincluded submittal of the Public Involvement Plan, dated October 2, 2018, and the Phase II Scopeof Work, dated January 11, 2019 (see attached MassDEP transmittal forms, indicating “PersonMaking Submittal” as DiPlacido Development Corp). The performance of the Phase II Scope ofWork was also being undertaken by Mabbett, at the direction of Mr. Vetere and on behalf of Mr.DiPlacido.

    The amended PSA called for the transaction to close on March 29, 2019; however, the closing didnot take place and the PSA was terminated instead. Given that his client (Mr. DiPlacido), nolonger had control over the Site, Mr. Vetere resigned as the LSP of record for the Site at that time(see attached).

    Buckley & Mann and Mr. DiPlacido are currently engaged in negotiations to bring the Site backunder contract so that the development, and the MCP response actions, can proceed forthwith andso that required timelines can be met under the PIP and the MCP. Although the terms of the

  • MACCu & MACCHI, LLC Page 2

    transaction are confidential, both parties are motivated to move forward with the contemplatedsale.

    Given the current lack of a contract with Mr. DiPlacido, and by extension Mr. Vetere and Mabbett& Associates, we are unable to provide a more substantive update to the PIP group at this time;however, we understand that this Site is of great concern, and will provide an update as soon aspossible. Thank you.
