CFJvce and subsurface soil types are a silty sandy soil with a somewhat lower biological han in a clayey soil, and therefore a medium decomposition capacity of any agrichemicals applied in the past. However, the organic matter of the soil is probably high which can e to decomposition of organic materials. Evaluation of each point source potential contamination described(i.e., the existing septic system, the nearest underground and leaking storage tanks, on-site electrical power lines and the on-site above ground diesel storage tanks) and non-point sources (i.e., on-site and surrounding agrichemical applications and non-target drift, nitrate from on-site and surrounding fertilizer applications, and the extremely slight possibility of DDT soil concentrations)pose a low-to-insignificant risk to the environment and to human health, in my professional opinion. The ASTM E-1527-00 Document referenced on Page 2 refers to de minimus environmental conditions. De minimus conditions generally do not present a material risk to public health or to the environment and generally would not include an enforcement action if observed by the appropriate governmental agencies. Household hazardous materials may be considered de minimus concerns if there has been no spillage or dumping. Spillage and dumping of a household hazardous substance was not observed at any of the single family residential structures. The septic system density is extremely low in the surrounding areas. Consequently, the degree of nitrate-nitrogen impact from this source can be considered inconsequential. Nitrate impact would be considerably greater from agricultural production land. The subject site will continue to be productive farmland, and is surrounded by properties that engage in production agriculture. Consequences of this surrounding land use include: noise, dust, odors, insects, machinery, crop dusting aircraft, trucks, exhaust and other environmental effects that may be offensive to some people. § 5.2 The Appendices, found in Section 7 incorporate all of the applicable information referenced in this Report. § 5.3 Page for signature and stamp. § 5.4(-- d lachado (the Applicant) is currently in the process of submitting the land use application. He was directed by his consultant, Mr. Don Moyer to proceed with this Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report to satisfy the requirements of the EHD. § 5.5 As referenced above, the Appendices contain the documentation to support the applicable data and information found in this Report.
