March 2, 1999 NOA ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT NUMBER E99042 VIII. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS We have performed an investigation into the current and historical uses of the subject property in order to complete a Surface/Subsurface Contamination Report. This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject property,except for the following: Agricultural chemicals have been applied in the past and are currently being used on the subject property. The agricultural chemical residues in the soils at the subject property could be considered toxic or hazardous if the subject property were to be converted to residential development and the residue concentrations were greater than those allowed by law. It is the property owner's intent to not convert the subject property from its current agricultural uses to other uses. Therefore there will be no exposure of residents to any chemical residues in the soil. Furthermore, there is no evidence to suggest that the agricultural chemicals that are being applied to the subject property have been handled or applied in contravention of local, state or federal laws. It is also reasonable to presuppose that since the property is to remain in agricultural production chemicals will continue to be applied for the foreseeable future. IX. RECOMMENDATIONS In that the subject property will not be converted from its present use it is our opinion that no further investigation is warranted at this time. Further investigation is warranted only if the use of the subject property is converted from agricultural to residential. If residential development of the subject property occurs in the future then discrete soil samples should be acquired and analyzed for residues of agricultural chemicals that have been applied to the subject property, or are likely to have been applied in the past on the subject property. 10 12
