February 18, 2005 NOA Project Number: E04145A 31.7 Site Reconnaissance L A visual reconnaissance of the subject property was conducted on January 13,2005. Photographs of the subject property are attached to this report as Appendix B. A site visit/assessment checklist is attached to this report as Appendix D. The subject property was observed to be a rectangular parcel used for growing row crops. The property was bounded to the northwest, southwest, and northeast by field roads, and to the southeast by an irrigation canal and Greenwood Road. A field road crossed the southern portion of the subject property and divided the higher-elevation land to the north from the lower-elevation land to the south. To the north of this field road was a flat,bare patch of compacted soil where a few pieces of farm equipment were stored. At the southwest comer of the subject property was an agricultural pond with two electrically-powered pumps. At the northwest corner of the monettv was an a wcul well. Oil L staining was observed on the pad around the well ea ,and an open pipe which may be used for adding oil to the pump was observed protruding from the ground. LThree pole-mounted transformers were observed near the well at the northwest comer of the property. These transformers were gray and appeared relatively new. One pole-mounted transformer,which also appeared relatively new,was observed near the pond at the southwest comer of the subject property. L Three rusty, old,pole-mounted transformers were observed along the northeastern property line. One plastic drum was observed in the irrigation ditch along the southeastern property line. No label L was observed on the drum. Due to the position of the drum in the ditch,determination of its contents was not possible. LNo evidence of the plugged and abandoned gas well along the northeastern side of the subject property was observed. L The ground surface of the subject property was wet from recent rains at the time of the site visit;due to this condition, any soil staining which may exist on the property would have been obscured. L Surrounding properties were surveyed at the time of the site reconnaissance. To the northwest of the subject property was a wetland area. To the north was a residence with several chemical dispenser tanks and one discarded underground storage tank. To the southwest was bare cropland, To the southeast L was Greenwood Road,followed by bare cropland. To the northeast was bare cropland. One residence was located to the immediate east of the southeast comer of the subject property; an above-ground storage tank was observed at this residence. L L i L 9 '0004L 6.
