Application of chemicals and <br /> fertilizers may have occurred. <br /> Curre Off-Site Sources of Contamination <br /> Based on the investigation conducted for the subject property the following current off-site <br /> potential and/or known above or below ground sources of contamination were identified at the <br /> project site: <br /> • The surrounding land is used for Agriculture. Application of chemicals and fertilizers <br /> may have occurred this year and may continue to occur. <br /> 4. EVALUATION OF SOURCES IDENTIFIED <br /> The property has been used for Agricultural purposes since before 1952. The concentrations <br /> of chemicals on agricultural properties have been documented to degrade quickly in soils, <br /> however, several trace amounts of historical chemicals have been known to remain for many <br /> years (i.e. DDT, arsenic, chlordane, ect.). Based on the proposed parcel split, the property will <br /> continued to be used for agricultural proposes and chemicals will continued to be applied based <br /> on the pesticides permit issued for the site. <br /> The above ground fuel tank was located near the agricultural well and supplies the fuel to the <br /> well motor. The area appeared to be in good condition, however no secondary containment was <br /> observed around the tank. A frequent observation and fuel tank management program should be <br /> used to identify any possible leaks from the tank. All leaks should be cleaned up immediately. <br /> The chemical mixing area is nearby the well. Care should be taken to not allow chemicals to <br /> spill onto the ground. If a spill occurs, it should be cleaned up immediately. <br /> 1R SQUARED CONSULTING,INC.
