I Surface &Subsurface Contamination Report Page 3 Sandhu Project Project No. 597.1 + February 12, 2009 suggest chemicals have been spilled to impact the gravel or underlying soil. Insofar as could be determined, the storage and use of pesticides is conducted in accordance with regulations and manufacturers guidelines. The site is further described in Section 4.0. See also the maps in Appendix A, andphotos in Appendix B for graphical information. Past Use (Property The past use of the Property has been entirely agricultural. Historical air p otos (Appendix C) suggest the initial use of the Property was as pasture land, and the 1937 air photo (see Appendix C) shows this use. The same photo also indicates the presence of a former farm building complex near the center of the Property. The complex appears to have consisted of a house, two barns, and several small sheds. By 1952, the land had been converted for use to raise row or grain crops, and this use continued up to 2008. The farm-building complex visible in the 1937 air photo was mostly demolished prior to 1963. Between the mid 1960's and 2008, there apparently were no structures on the Property. No other details were found regarding the former building complex. Environmental Conditions Impacting Site from Off Site Properties As a part of this investigation, EDR was contracted to perform a search of State and Federal electronic environmental databases for an area around the subject Property (see Section 3.1 and Appendix D). The Property was not identified in the EDR database report. The only nearby site identified within the search radius is the Banta-Carbona Canal District at 26815 Kasson Road. This site is on the opposite (west) side of Kasson Road from the subject Property. The site is identified as a facility that formerly operated an underground fuel tank and disposed of a small quantity of hazardous waste. There is no report of an unauthorized release of hazardous materials. Based on the results of the EDR report, it was not deemed necessary to further investigate off-site facilities. Conclusions Present Us of Property The cur en and recent uses of the Property as agricultural land to grow orchard tre:;1nd earlier, for row or grain crops, appear unlikely to have impacted the Property with a Recognized Environmental Condition (see Section 1.0 for a definition) except as follows: 2937 Veneman Ave.,#5240 Geo-Phase Environmental Inc.
