Four sheds are found to the west of this SFR. Two additional sheds are associated with the mobile home. Appurtenances associated with the two residential structures include a domestic well, two separate septics terns, and parking areas to serve both structures. Current zoning is-A-2-14-0, with the G�iieral Plan designated as General Agriculture. INFORMATION FROM SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND INTERVIEWS The following information was obtained visually and/or through an interview with Mr. Gillon on May 24, 2004 and on the date of the Environmental Questionnaire, May 27, 2004. The interview was conducted by the author of this report: Reconnaissance of the property consisted of the proposed Lot 1 which contains the SFR with the extended open land area to the west, and proposed Lot 2 which contain the mobile home and also with open land area to the west. The entire acreage was surveyed for evidence which may suggest surface and/or subsurface contamination. No hazardous materials.am cored on-cite otherAlanotq.minimus substances �Prr;h�er and p ri There were no indication or observations of spills associated with hazardous materials on the subject site soils, and no evidence of drug manufacturing. No above ground storage tanks (ASTs) exist, and there is no evidence of any USTs that may have existed. The referenced open areas were carefully inspected for environmental concerns originating from discolored, subsided soils, stressed vegetation or unusual/noxious odors. No disturbed soils were observed. Subsided, or excavated soils exist at the extreme west end of the property; however, this appears to be a small drainage or tailwater basin. Although the native wild vegetation was entering dormancy or senescence at the time of reconnaissance, stressed, or unusual vegetation was not observed. Approximately 25 Class 8 truck and passenger car tires are on the property,which are located within the two sheds west of the SFR. Disposal of these tires to the proper landfill or recycling center may be done by Mr. Gillon as long as he does not transport more than nine tires at a time. Otherwise, he is aware that he must hire a licensed tire transporter if all of the tires are transported simultaneously to the proper location. Along the south side of proposed Lot 2 is a significant amount of brush,tree cuttings, discards and tree stumps. No hazardous materials were noted within this material. Mr. Gillon has owned the subject property for the past 1.5 years as noted on the Environmental Questionnaire found in Appendix "B," and the open areas of the property have always been fallow or in agricultural production. An important concern associated with the environmental assessment of open properties is the issue of buried pesticide containers or discarded items. It was an occasional practice to dispose of containers or discarded items by this method many years ago. To detect these types of underground artifacts is difficult even with the use of ground penetrating radar or other types of non-intrusive, subsurface analyses. The land surface did not exhibit visual indicators for buried containers such as surfacing of product residue, soil mounding, or localized soil depressions. It is usually only after a contaminant plume has impacted a domestic well that underground containers are discovered. If buried items are discovered at any time in the future, the Environmental Health Department must be contacted immediately. Page -2- Chesney Consulting
