HEnv Project #201603 March 1, 2016 14 Mr. Pascarosa entered the site from a paved access road extending north from Highway 70. The interior and perimeter of the site was walked and visually assessed. Photographs taken during the site reconnaissance are provided in Appendix D. The adjacent properties were visually observed from the limits of the subject site and public right-of-ways. VII.2. Physical and Visual Limitations The site was assessed to the extent feasible and reasonable. Dense vegetation is located throughout the site. The dense vegetation creates a visual limitation to the site visit. Additional physical and visual limitations were not encountered during the site visit. VII.3. Site Observations The majority of the site is comprised of scrub/shrub vegetation. The site was cleared for timber purposes 3 to 5 years ago. The southeast portion of the site is used as a staging for Mace Grading Company, Inc. Two man-made ponds are located on the southern and northwestern portions of the site, respectively. A stream is located on the northeast portion of the site. No buildings are located within the site boundary. Piles of miscellaneous solid waste were observed on the southeast portion of the site. The solid waste piles are substantial and include asphalt, timber, gravel, concrete/construction rubble, 12-inch corrugated plastic piping, cardboard, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and other assorted trash. The miscellaneous solid waste appears to be surficial. Proper removal of the miscellaneous solid waste represents a BER of the site. HEnv observed three empty ASTs (varying between 250-gallon and 1,000-gallons in volume), six 55-gallon drums (contents unknown), and seven empty 5-gallon motor oil buckets. Petroleum stained soil was observed around the perimeter of the ASTs, drums, and buckets. The area of stained soil represents a REC of the site. Additionally, HEnv observed an approximate 10,000-gallon empty AST on the southern portion of the site, north of the pond. Neither stained soil, nor evidence of a leak was observed around the empty AST. The approximate 10,000-gallon AST does not represent a REC of the site. Refer to Figure 2, Appendix A, for a depiction of the site and surrounding properties. VII.4. Adjoining Properties The site is bounded on the north and east by wooded land and residential dwellings. The residential dwellings and wooded land extend over 1,000 feet to the north and east. The site is bounded on the southeast by Mace Grading Company, Inc. Numerous vehicles, storage buildings, construction equipment, and miscellaneous solid waste were observed throughout the adjoining property to the southeast. Two ~10,000-gallon diesel ASTs are located approximately 500 feet south of the site. Mace Grading Company, Inc. uses the ASTs for fueling fleet vehicles. An above ground fuel line and pump system are located adjacent to the ASTs. Based on the distance from the subject site, the 61
