The site is located on a river terrace with the higher elevations located in the central portion of the site and the lower elevations located around the northern, eastern and western portions of the site. An abandoned brick building was noted near the southwestern portion of the site. Most of the flooring and the roofing was removed at.the time of Kieinfelder's site reconnaissance. A wooden stage area, approximately 5 feet wide, 20 feet long, and 2 feet high, was noted along the northern wall of the building. Two empty 5-gallon containers were located on the wooden stage. No evidence of leakage or odors was noted. The rest of the building had an earthen floor growing vegetation. No evidence of leakage, staining, stressed vegetation, or odors were noted within the building. A pole-mounted transformer and a pad-mounted transformer were noted off site along the southern edge of the site, in the southwestern corner. No staining, leakage, or t- odors were associated with the transformers. The northern, southwestem and southeastern portions of the site are located within an oak woodland area and according to a map provided by the client; several Elderberry bushes (Sambucus spp.) are located in this area. A small metal �- debris pile was noted near the western portion of the site and was believed to be pieces of roofing, associated with brick building. No staining, leakage, or stressed vegetation were associated with the pile. A pit, approximately four feet in diameter and 3-4 feet deep was noted in the southeastern portion of the site. No staining, stressed vegetation, or odors were noted in or around the pit. A metal debris pile was noted south of the pit. No staining, leakage, or stressed vegetation were associated with the pile. A wooden debris pile was noted in the southeastern `~ portion of the site, north of the pit. No evidence of staining, leakage, or odors was associated with the wooden debris pile An orchard was noted north and west of the subject site. A residential area and Highway 88 were noted south of the site, beyond which is vacant field and a rural residential area.
