The buildings, other structures, and waste ponds that <br /> were a part of the dairy remain on the site. The irrigated pasture and former hay field now lie <br /> fallow. <br /> The site is relatively flat, sloping gently to the northeast. (Refer to photo of site in Figure <br /> 4-1.) The site is part of a much larger agricultural area and is visible in the distance from the <br /> I-205/Mountain House Parkway westbound on-ramp. The aerial photo in Figure 2-1 <br /> illustrates the distance of the site from I-205. Current views from the Mountain House <br /> Parkway and Grant Line Road are those of abandoned barns and trailers as seen in Figures , <br /> 4-2 and 4-3. <br /> J <br /> Figure 4-1 Viewing northeast across site Figure 4-2 Viewing northwest from _ <br /> at Mountain House Parkway/Von Sosten Road Mountain House Parkway <br /> J <br /> 4-2 <br />
