MOUNTAIN HOUSE TEIIIRA-SOUZA PROPERTY V Page 3 WKA No. 5475.03 January 6, 2006 operation. At the time of the updated field reconnaissance, only one covered holding corral remained,but the concrete floor of at least one other holding corral was still evident. Two barns are located between the main milking operation and the holding corrals, with the larger of the barns to the east of the smaller one. The main milking operation is located on the southern portion of the dairy. The milking barn is located just north of the residences, south of the former holding corrals and large bam. To the west of the former milking operation are the agricultural water and wastewater ponds. At the time of the updated field reconnaissance,the ponds had been pumped dry and cleaned of any waste debris. The wastewater ponds were plumbed and sized such that dairy wastewater could not leave the subject property. The wastewater ponds represent a"closed loop"aerobic and anaerobic treatment process for the dairy wastewater. Subsequent to treatment, the wastewater was "lift-pumped"onto the irrigated fields of the subject property. Our updated field reconnaissance revealed no obvious evidence of USTs, UST fueling islands, fill ports, oil/water separators, dry cleaning facilities, steam cleaners, steam cleaning wash pads, drainage inlets, hydraulic lifts, sumps, oil/water separators, drums, raw materials storage areas or impounds, disposal pits, or agricultural burn or scrap piles.
