In the 1998 photo, the agricultural building and two structures to the west can no longer be seen. In the 2007 photo, several new structures (chicken coops) can be seen near the residences. These photos are included in Appendix 3 of this report. 4.0 SITE INSPECTION Abigail Racco of Live Oak inspected the site on March 18, 2011. Photographs of the Site are attached to this report as Appendix 2. The inspection was limited by thick vegetation obscuring the ground surface in places. With the exception of the open milk barn, the interiors of the structures were not inspected. The Site is an open field used to grow fodder crops. Its southern and eastern sides are defined by Turner and Ray Roads, while its western side is defined by railroad tracks and a concrete irrigation ditch. A cluster of structures is located on the east side of the Site. These structures include two houses, two sheds, and a garage. Several rooster enclosures are located to the north and west of the houses. A driveway runs along the south side of the residential area. To the south of the residential area is an old milk barn. The domestic well for the Site is located to the south of the milk barn. A concrete-lined irrigation ditch crosses the Site from west to east to the south of the milk barn. Approximately eight plastic one-gallon jugs were observed in a bush on the north side of the milk barn. The jugs were unlabeled and may have been used for chicken feed containers. Two apparently empty, quart-size, automotive fluid containers and several empty plastic buckets were observed in the bushes to the south of the milk barn. A number of empty plastic buckets labeled "Dry Cow Penicillin" were observed inside the milk barn. The bushes on the south side of the barn were particularly dense and prevented observation of the ground surface. To the west of the milk barn is a paved area where the former structures were located. Several brush piles and piles of plastic sheeting, wood debris, concrete and pipe were observed near the paved area, which extends west to the irrigation ditch. Additional piles of rock and cement or soil amendment were observed to the southwest of the residential area. Between the residential area and the milk barn, a soil depression which appears to be manmade was observed. A marker indicating that underground gas lines exist along Turner Road and the railroad tracks was observed at the southwest corner of the Site. One waste tire was observed along Ray Road on the eastern side of the Site, south of the irrigation ditch. LOGE 1111 Page 3
