37 <br /> HEnv Project#201603 <br /> March 1, 2016 <br /> L EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> The approximate 53-acre site is located at 6517 U.S. Highway 70 in Mebane, Orange <br /> County, North Carolina. According to the Orange County GIS, the site is identified as <br /> Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 9835-02-9137. The parcel is owned by Mr. Carl J. <br /> Mace. A legal description of the parcel is included in Deed Book 1313, Page 319. <br /> The subject site (or site) is comprised of the entire legal parcel. The project area <br /> includes the limits of a proposed solar farm. The project area is located within the <br /> subject site. The approximate 25-acre project area is to be defined by Oakwood Solar <br /> Farm, LLC, their successors, and/or assigns. Recognized environmental conditions <br /> (RECs)were not identified within the current project area. <br /> The majority of the site is comprised of scrub/shrub vegetation. The site was cleared for <br /> timber purposes 3 to 5 years ago. The southeast portion of the site is used as staging <br /> for Mace Grading Company, Inc. Two man-made ponds are located on the southern <br /> and northwestern portions of the site, respectively. A stream is located on the northeast <br /> portion of the site. No buildings are located within the site boundary. <br /> The site has been used for agricultural, pastoral, and silvicultural purposes since at least <br /> 1938. A man-made pond has been located on the southern portion of the site since the <br /> 1960s. Two man-made ponds on the northeastern and northwestern portions of the site <br /> have been successively filled and drained on different occasions since the 1970s/1980s. <br /> Mace Grading Company, Inc. has utilized the southeast portion of the site as a staging <br /> area since 2011/2012. HEnv was unable to determine the date of first developed use of <br /> the subject site. The inability to determine the date of first developed use represents a <br /> data gap. However, based on the past use of the site for agricultural, pastoral, and <br /> silvicultural purposes, this data gap does not represent a recognized environmental <br /> condition (REC) of the site. <br /> The site is bounded on the north and east by wooded land and residential dwellings, to <br /> the southeast by Mace Grading Company, Inc.; to the south by residential dwellings; and <br /> to the west by residential dwellings, two ponds, wooded land, and pasture land. The <br /> surrounding lands were historically used for agricultural purposes or otherwise wooded <br /> and undeveloped. Residential development began to increase on the lands to south in <br /> the 1950s, and on the lands to the east and west in the 1970s. Mace Grading Company, <br /> Inc. was established on the adjoining property to the southeast in the 1970s. <br /> We have performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the <br /> scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E1527-13 of the site located at 6517 U.S. <br /> Highway 70 in Mebane, Orange County, North Carolina. Any exceptions to, or deletions <br /> from, this practice are described in Section III of this report. This assessment has <br /> revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the site, <br /> except for the following: <br /> • HEnv observed three empty ASTs (varying between 250-gallon and 1,000- <br /> gallons in volume), six 55-gallon drums (contents unknown), and seven empty 5- <br /> gallon motor oil buckets on the southeast portion of the site. Petroleum stained <br /> soil was observed around the perimeter of the ASTs, drums, and buckets. The <br /> area of stained soil represents a REC of the site. Presuming the area of stained <br /> soil is outside the project area, further assessment may not be warranted. <br /> 1 <br />
