day. I accepted Jim Czarnecki's offer to photograph containers or other materials found during a search of the debris and materials on the property. Looking north across a fence, I saw three open topped 55 gallon capacity steel drums, one closed 55 gallon capacity steel drum, two steel storage tanks of approximately 250 gallon capacity each, and two large steel storage tanks with an estimated capacity of 1,500 gallons each on the adjacent property. I did not investigate further on the north side of the fence because I could not determine if it was also part of Mr. Bill Lane's property and did not wish to complicate matters by entering a second party's property. I chose not to enter areas which had visible flames or generated large quantities of smoke. I saw the following materials and items mixed in among soil, construction debris and other garbage in the burning or smoldering areas: a) Ash and burnt material b) Soil c) Wood debris d) Broken pieces of concrete e) Sections of plastic pipe (PVC) f) More than 5 truck and auto tires in each of three different areas g) Three partially crushed 55 gallon capacity chemical drums containing residues of an amber colored oil. These drums had manufacturing labeling indicating that the original contents were lube oils. h) Four 5 gallon blue plastic containers of Delco 100 Chevron Oil which held small quantities of residues. i) Three 5 gallon white plastic containers with visible white solid residues. The containers had manufacturer labels for household detergents and cleaning materials. j) Two melted and fire damaged blue plastic 5.gallon containers which could not be positively identified. k) Seven 55 gallon capacity chemical drums which had been crushed and partially buried 1) One 12 volt equipment battery m) Other organic material which was burning n) Pieces of steel, metal pipe, and metal scrap o) One matress and box spring which had been burnt
