The GeoTracker <br /> document illustrate no listings on the property or within a one mile radius from the property. <br /> The closest Leaking Underground Fuel Tank(LUFT)is listed as "closed." There is a <br /> permitted Underground Storage Tank approximately one mile to the southwest. <br /> As referenced, agricultural spray drift affecting the property from the nearest agricultural <br /> production land could be an extremely slight possibility, since agricultural production occurs <br /> upgradient to the property with regard to wind shed. <br /> § 3.5 Descriptions of all current off-site potential and/or known above and below ground sources <br /> of contamination identified in the area of the project site include those referenced in <br /> Sections 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 above. Any contaminated sites can be considered"past"off-site <br /> sources of contamination that are simultaneously"current" contaminated sources. <br /> § 4.0 EVALUATION OF PAST AND CURRENT SOURCES OF <br /> CONTAMINATION IDENTIFIED AT OR NEAR THE SITE AND <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER ACTION <br /> § 4.1 Evaluation of each potential and/or known source of contamination identified in the above <br /> Sections have been discussed in the respective Sections to facilitate the transfer of <br /> information to the reader. <br /> § 5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> § 5.1 Evaluation of each point-source potential contamination described (i.e., on-site septic tanks, <br /> on-site propane tank) and non-point sources (i.e., on-site and surrounding agrichemical <br /> applications, and nitrate in the underlying groundwater)pose an extremely low risk to the <br /> subject property and to human health. Septic system density in this locale is sparse. <br /> Consequently,the degree of nitrate impact to the property from this source can also be <br /> considered extremely low. Greater nitrate impact originates from agricultural fertilization <br /> which surrounds the property. <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
