The perimeter of the Site was inspected, as well as the vicinity of the structures. The Site is a vineyard composed of an older field (western side) and a younger field (eastern side). Two houses are located on the eastern side of the Site; the northern of these is a shop which has been converted into a house. A domestic water well is located near the northern house, and an irrigation well is located near the southern house. Two large plastic tanks were observed near the irrigation well. Two transformers are present near the southeast corner of the Site. A brush pile is located near the center of the northern property line. An irrigation canal runs along Davis Road on the eastern property line, and a concrete canal runs along the southern property line. The adjacent properties are vineyards and rural residences; Jessie's Grove Winery is located to the immediate south. 5.0 INTERVIEWS 5.1 Interview with Property Owner Greg Burns was interviewed by telephone on April 15, 2014. He indicated that Wanda Bechtold, his mother, is the owner of the Site. He stated that the Site has been in his family since the 1880s. The Site has been used in the past as vineyard and pasture land, he said. He indicated that the northern house was originally constructed as a shop in 1976, then later converted into a house. The southern house was built around 2001. Each house has a septic system, he noted, and a domestic well and an irrigation well are also located on the Site. Mr. Burns stated that two plastic tanks for adding fertilizer to irrigation water are located near the irrigation well. He was not aware of any underground or above-ground fuel tanks, chemical mixing or storage, or other environmental issues on the Site. LOGE 1406 Page 3
