exception of a small strip at the top. The uncultivated/row crop area has been shifted to the west. Most of the soil stockpile has been removed. These photos are included as Appendix 3 of this report. 4.0 SITE INSPECTION Live Oak inspected the Site on July 8, 2022. Photographs of the Site are attached to this report as Appendix 2. The Site consists of almond and walnut orchard with three structure areas. Matt Kuil accompanied Live Oak throughout the site visit. Live Oak viewed the western boundary of the property and the structure areas at 23050 and 22844 South Frederick Avenue. The walnut orchard and the central building cluster at 22770 South Frederick (a farm worker's home) were not inspected at the request of Mr. Kuil; he indicated that the walnut orchard had just been sprayed, and no entry into that area was permitted at the time of the visit. Large portions of the Site were covered with equipment, materials, and vegetation; inspection of the ground surface was not possible in many places. Live Oak was not able to fully inspect all of the materials stored on the Site due to the sheer number and density of items present. At 22844 South Frederick (the southern building cluster), several structures were observed: a main house, cottage/pool house, chemical storage building, lean-to, shop, and storage building. A gate leading into the equipment yard behind the house was labeled "poison storage area." Agricultural items, including tractors, vehicles, vehicle parts, tires, metal, tanks (fertilizer, water, and spray), pallets, plastic hose, and wire fencing, were stored to the west of the chemical storage building, to the north of the shop, and to the north and south of the storage building. Small soil stains typical of a busy agricultural operation were observed at several places in the yard. Near the chemical storage building and lean-to, chemicals had been set out on pallets; Mr. Kuil indicated that the chemicals were being actively used on the day of the visit. Five above -ground storage tanks approximately 500 gallons in size were observed within the lean-to; a small amount of staining to the concrete floor was observed. Mr. Kuil indicated that there are two diesel tanks, one gasoline, and two oil, and he is planning to install secondary containment for the tanks. Several drums and other containers were observed near the tanks. Nine plastic drums were observed to the east of the lean-to; these were located on pallets and labeled. Mr. Kuil indicated that all of the materials stored in the area, including the tires, were planned for future use; he often uses parts from old equipment to repair current equipment. The domestic well was observed to the west of the chemical storage building. Mr. Kuil stated that the septic system for the main house is to the north of the house. At 23050 South Frederick Avenue (northern building cluster), four old greenhouses were observed; Mr. Kuil indicated that they were used in the past to LOGE 2232 4
