I7 above, the access points are gated to restrict vehiculaz access, and very little indications of unauthorized access and dumping were observed. o The subject property consists of gently to steeply sloping wooded, land, and several streams cross portions of the property. A perennial stream flows from southwest to northeast across the southern and central portions of the property to it's confluence with the north Fork of the Little River on the east side of the subject property. The North Fork of the Little River forms over 6,000 feet of the northeastern and eastern boundaries of the property, and the topography slopes steeply down to the river floodplain along the eastern side of the property. All streams observed on the property and the North Fork of the Little River appeazed cleaz, and no unusual discolorations, sheens, or other indications of environmental concerns were observed. o Based on limited observations of hydrology and vegetation at the site, wetlands may be present along the streams and the North Fork of the Little River. Activities in wetland azeas aze regulated under Sections 401 and 404 the Clean Water Act, and if wetland areas are to be impacted, pernuts through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and/or the North Cazolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality may be required. o The subject property is located in northwestern Durham County and northeastern Orange . county, in a predominantly rural area. The subject property is bounded to the south by a horse farm and Waal residences, to the southeast by a rural residential neighborhood and farm fields, to the northeast/north by the North Fork of the Little River, and to the west by a mixture of wooded and open pasture land. No commercial or industrial development was observed within the vicinity of the subject property, and no properties within the site vicinity were identified which may have affected environmental conditions at the subject property. o According to limited historical information obtained from the previous ESAs, the subject property has consisted mostly of undeveloped land since at least the 1950s, and site usage has been limited to timber production. a EI reviewed federal and state regulatory agency databases as provided by Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR). Review of the EDR report did not reveal any listings for the subject property or for the site vicinity. Based on the information obtained to date, no environmental concerns were identified at the subject property, and no further assessment appears warranted at this time. It appears unlikely, based on the historical information presented in the previous ESA reports, that issues of concern. will be identified through review of the ownership history of the property. The final ESA report will be forwarded to you by May 17, 2000. 2
