property, and indicates the phase of work under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan regulatory
process during which the samples will be/were collected.

THE PERSON(S) PROVIDING THIS NOTICE
When environmental samples are taken as part of an investigation of a release for which a
notification to MassDEP has been made under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (310 CMR
40.0300) on behalf of someone other than the owner of the property, the regulations require
that the property owner (listed in Section B on the reverse side of this form) be given notice of
the environmental sampling. The regulations also require that the property owner subsequently
receive the analytical results following the analysis of the environmental samples.
This notice has been sent to you by the party who is addressing a release of oil or hazardous material
to the environment at the location listed in Section A on the reverse side of this form. (The
regulations refer to the area where the oil or hazardous material is present as the “disposal site”.)
