CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS From visual observations, there appears to be no surface contamination on the subject property. Therefore, as of the date of this report, no corrective action is required within the boundaries of the subject property. It is my professional opinion and judgment that the herbicide Mr. Noceti has stated he has applied to the subject property within the past three years poses no danger to human health and the environment. The probability of subsurface contamination from pesticides, or other types of agrichemicals that may have drifted, or used on the.property, can be considered extremely low. This considers the environmental fate data for Gramoxone, and for DDT and its related compounds presented above, which would be the most likely persistent agrichemical that is no longer used. The depth to groundwater of 12 feet would make impact from adverse constituents a possibility. The important issue with regard to agrichemical use on the subject property is the fact that there has never been any on-site agrichemical mixing or storage, according to Mt. Noceti. The probability for nitrate contamination of the underlying aquifers originating from surrounding septic systems is low due to the low density of systems in the study area._However,._fliaer IVc7 a lications and o a ' 'end decom osition,mo,�,�1ik,�1'hood of high nitrate � ! co�ncentra ' th�.t�.� er table comparatively high. �`"" The subject property has been owned by the Noceti Family for more than 60 years. Consequently, the history of what has occurred on and around the property is well-documented, The subject site is surrounded by properties that engage in production agriculture. Consequences of this,surrounding land use include: dust, odors, insects, machinery, crop dusting aircraft, trucks, exhaust and other environmental effects that may be offensive to some people.
