According to Mr. Busolich, there are no buried tanks on the property. There are no visual signs <br /> of any such tanks (ground settling, irregular ground, etc.). The prior owners could not be <br /> contacted. Mr Marschall owns other property in the immediate area and has been working <br /> to purchase this piece of property, so he has knowledge of the property history. <br /> As previously stated, the site has been farmed with grapes. Chemicals have historically been <br /> used in the farming operation. All chemicals are applied per manufacturer's recommendations <br /> and are applied under permit. There are no chemicals stored on site. For a list of chemicals and <br /> their applications, see Appendix. <br /> The depth to groundwater in this vicinity is approximately 145 feet. This relatively deep <br /> groundwater does not typically become severely impacted by pesticides, insecticides, or <br /> fertilizers. The soil type is generally clay and sandy loam which is generally a deterrent to <br /> groundwater contamination compared to other types of soil. The types of products used on this <br /> site are consistent with the surrounding property. <br /> According to the land owner, there are no known pesticide containers buried on the property. <br /> When the Marschall's purchased the property, they disked the avenues between the vines and <br /> uncovered a small area that appeared to be buried garbage. The rubbish consisted of bottles, <br /> cans, and decomposed garbage. The material was gathered and taken to the Harney Lane <br /> landfill. A visual inspection did not produce any evidence of buried containers. The field <br /> investigation also did not yield any unusual (noxious) odors. Rainwater is disposed of by natural <br /> drainage, percolation, or evaporation. <br /> The site shows no potential problems with any source of contamination. The surrounding <br /> property uses would not likely yield any sources of contamination based on visual observation. <br /> Conclusion and Recommendation <br /> v <br /> Based on visual observation, County records, and testimony of the property owners, there <br /> appears to be no surface contamination. Given the scope of this study, the probability of <br /> subsurface contamination should be considered low and normal to this region. Since additional <br /> ground water testing will be done in conformance with the Soils Suitability Report, no additional <br /> study is recommended at this time. Based on visual observations, no corrective action is <br /> necessary at this time. <br /> According to the property owners, they have farmed the property for many years and plan to <br /> continue farming. A new home is proposed on the small parcel. In the future, further <br /> groundwater testing could be performed and should be considered in designing a domestic well. <br /> As a precaution, soil testing could be performed at that time. These recommendations do not <br /> imply there are contaminants. <br /> 2 <br /> C:/0399Surface and Subsurface Report <br />
