• In the 1998 photo, the Site and adjacent land to the east and west appear to be <br /> used for growing fodder crops. A few new building clusters can be seen in the <br /> surrounding area. <br /> In the 2005 photo, the adjacent property to the west has been planted with <br /> orchard. No other significant changes are apparent. <br /> In the 2014 photo, the Site and the adjacent land to the east have been planted <br /> with orchard. The adjacent property to the south no longer appears to be an <br /> operational dairy. No other significant changes are apparent. <br /> These photos are included as Appendix 3 of this report. <br /> 4.0 SITE INSPECTION <br /> Live Oak inspected the site on March 6, 2018. Photographs of the Site are <br /> attached to this report as Appendix 2. The northern, western, and southern <br /> property lines were inspected, as well as the clearing on the eastern side of the <br /> Site. <br /> The Site is an almond orchard. It is bounded by Henry Road on the west side <br /> • and Highway 120 in the south. The northern property line is an unimproved field <br /> road. There is no clear boundary to define the eastern property line; the Site <br /> appears to be farmed in conjunction with the property to the east. <br /> A pumping station is located on the southern side of the Site. A pole-mounted <br /> transformer was observed near the pumping station. The transformer appeared <br /> new and was labeled with a blue sticker indicating that it is free of polychlorinated <br /> biphenyls (PCBs). <br /> A clearing is located on the eastern side of the Site. At the time of the inspection, <br /> a brush pile and several beehives were located in the clearing. A few empty <br /> plastic containers of silicone shaker pad lubricant were observed in and around <br /> the brush pile. A small pile of cable and three tires were located near the brush <br /> pile; they appeared to be associated with the operation of the orchard. <br /> A rural residence with several outbuildings is located on the parcel carved from <br /> the southern side of the Site. An above-ground storage tank approximately 100 <br /> gallons in size was observed on the west side of this parcel. The other <br /> surrounding properties are almond orchards, with a few rural residences located <br /> to the south and north. <br /> • <br /> LOGE 1808 3 <br />
