I [4.0 SITE INSPECTION Abigail Racco of LOGE inspected the site on August 24, 2009. Photographs of the Site are attached to this report as Appendix 2. The site inspection was limited by dry seasonal vegetation obscuring the ground surface across the majority of the site. The Site consists of a rural residence located on open land. A domestic well is located to the southwest of the residence, and an irrigation well is located to the north of the residence. Several storage containers are present to the north of the residence, as well as a truck, a tractor, two plastic tanks, fencing, and other supplies. A hole at least 100 feet long and less than ten feet deep was observed at the northeast corner of the site; a comparably-sized area of soil mounds was observed adjacent to the hole. Other, small soil mounds were observed near the center of the Site, north of the dry Gill Creek. Irrigation infrastructure was observed along the east side of the Site. Six pole-mounted transformers were observed along the roadways surrounding the Site. Of these, only one bore a label indicating that it is free of polychlorinated biphenyls I (PCBs). However, the transformers appeared relatively new, and no leaks were observed. Surrounding properties included agricultural and rural residential land. The Site is bounded by Dustin Road to the west and Peltier Road to the south. To the north, west, and south were vineyards. To the northwest and southwest were rural residences. Open land and a rural residence were located to the east. A small (approximately 500 gallon) above-ground storage tank was observed at the rural residence to the east; the tank was located a good distance from the boundary with the subject Site. 5.0 INTERVIEWS /5.1Interview with Property Owners Jeffrey Albin was interviewed by telephone on August 13, 2009. At this time, Mr. Albin indicated that he is a half-owner of the Site; the Morgans own the other half. They purchased the property as vacant land five or six years ago. The residence on the site was constructed in 2005. A residential well and septic system were installed at the same time. An irrigation well dating to 1997 is also located on the Site, he said. Mr. Albin indicated that the Site was referred to as 22700 North Dustin Road prior to the construction of the house; he believed the irrigation well permit was under the address of 22012 North Dustin Road. He stated that the Site has not been used for agriculture during his ownership, though it may have been a vineyard in the past. Mr. Albin was not aware of any fuel tanks, chemical storage, auto maintenance, dumping, or other environmental concerns on the Site or in the vicinity. LOGE0912 Page 3
