The chicken coops have blue "freshwater" barrels surrounding them(see photograph 16). 3 South of the western portion of the subject property, across Duck Creek, there are residences. Behind one of these residences there is what appears to be a "junkyard" (see Photograph 17 - 19). Nowhere along the portion of Duck Creek that flows adjacent to the subject property was there a sheen on the water at the time of this reconnaissance, including below and downstream of the junkyard_ To the west,across Duck Creek,there is vacant land.

Across B Street, three doors north from the northern border of the subject property there is another pole-mounted transformer(see Photograph 23). Both transformers appear to be old but in good condition without leaks. VIII. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The subject property has been used as a hay (wild oats) field, however, it is NOA's opinion no (0) agricultural chemicals have been applied to the subject property. This opinion is based on the facts that the San Joaquin County Agricultural Commissioner's Office has no records referencing this property or the previous owner of the property and that hay (wild oats) does not normally warrant E the use of such chemicals. There is one transformer observed on the property, the best that could be ascertained, it services properties across B Street. There are two transformers on the opposite side of B Street. All three transformers are old,appear to be in good condition without leaks and are owned by PG&E. PG&E has a policy in place that states their company would remediate any and all releases of oils that could contain PCBs. 11 I
