<br />Irrigation lines were observed throughout the subject site (Appendix C, Photo 15). Muddy Creek was <br />observed near the center of the subject site {Appendix C, Photo 16). The locations of specific items <br />observed during the site reconnaissance are indicated in Appendix A, Drawing 1. <br />A pond with an irrigation pump (in the former quarry area) was observed in the northeast portion of parcel <br />number 5544724095 (Appendix C, Photos 12 and 13). Mr. Wallace stated in his interview that the pump <br />was used to transport water to the Coming plant. The associated pump house and transformer were <br />observed south of the pond {Appendix C, Photo 14). <br />During the site reconnaissance there were no indications of lagoons, stressed vegetation, underground <br />or aboveground storage tanks, subsidence, monitoring wells, strong odors, sumps, landfills or unusual <br />soil discoloration That indicates the possible presence of contaminants on the subject site. <br />6.5 OFF-SITE OBSERVATIONS <br />During the site reconnaissance, woodlands were observed on the adjoining properties to the north. <br />Woodlands, R. L. Wallace Constnaction Company Inc, and a Tractor trailer rental frm were observed on <br />the adjoining properties to the east. Wallace Road and the Norfolk Southern Railroad right of way were <br />observed on the adjacent properties to the south.

A four inch black plastic pipe was observed draining onto the subject property <br />from an adjoining residential property to fhe west (Appendix C, Photo 5). <br />A railroad tie dump was observed on the adjoining Norfolk Southern right of way. The railroad ties have <br />-~ ~ been treated with creosote. Storm water runoff from this railroad tie pile flows onto the subject site. <br />The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently conducting a preliminary risk assessmenT for <br />creosote (EPA Docket # OPP-2003-0248). Although it has not been determined whether creosote <br />J treated wood is a recognized environmental condition, it is recommended that it noT be used in residential <br />settings. Therefore, it would be best to remove fhe guard rail posts and railroad ties from the subject site. <br />' An aboveground storage tank (AST) was observed on one of the wes#em adjoining properties. The AST <br />is not considered to be a recognized environmental condition because no indications of hazardous <br />substances or petroleum products released onto the subject site were observed. <br />Several drums were observed around the rear of a storage building of one of the western adjoining <br />properties (Appendix C, Photo 4}. Dead vegetation was observed behind the storage building. The <br />drums are not considered a recognized environmental condition because no dead vegetation was <br />observed within the subject site. <br />7,0 INTERVIEWS <br />7.1 INTERVIEW WITW CURRENT OWNERS <br />~~ On October 6, 2008, the owner of the subJect site, Mr. Rob Wallace, was interviewed in person fo <br />determine his knowledge of associated environmental conditions.
