5 3.0 SITE LOCATION RESEARCH SUMMARY Goldston Dump Chatham County, North Carolina NONCD May 7, 2010 Marshall Miller & Associates, Inc. (MM&A) has completed an assessment of the old landfill site listed as the Goldston Dump located east of the Town of Goldston in Chatham County, North Carolina. The assessment included historical research and a site inspection to confirm the Site location, to develop an understanding of the operational and development history, and to evaluate the current Site and vicinity conditions. For the purpose of this report, the term Site refers to the property on which the disposal area is located. The term disposal area is specific to the actual location where refuse was buried or disposed. 3.1 SITE SUMMARY Site Ownership and Dates of Operation According to records available from the Chatham County Register of Deeds, the Town of Goldston purchased the Site from Roland Jones and wife, Inez Jones, on June 29, 1966 (Deed book 316, Page Number 543). The Town of Goldston owned the Site through the time during which dumping operations were active and subsequently sold the Site to William Harold Murchison and wife, Lydia S. Murchison, on October 1, 1975 (Deed Book 391, Page Number 688). Joseph Lee Utley purchased the Site from Mr. and Mrs. Murchison on June 28, 1979 (Deed Book 426, Page Number 142), and has owned the Site since that time. Copies of these deeds and the 2009 Property Report Card are provided in Appendix A. Although no records could be located to confirm an opening date for the Site, nor could any residents recall when the Site began accepting waste, based upon review of aerial photography and the ownership history of the Site, it is likely that dumping may have begun as early as 1966, when the Town of Goldston purchased the Site. The Land Disposal Site Modification Report dated October 19, 1973, and filed at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Solid Waste office in Raleigh, North Carolina, notes that modifications at the Site were completed on that same date and NCUL145/Goldston Dump 2

6 Goldston Dump Chatham County, North Carolina NONCD May 7, 2010 that waste was routed to the Chatham Co. Landfill in Pittsboro, NC. A copy of the Land Disposal Site Modification Report is included as Appendix B. MM&A obtained permission to access the Site from Mr. Joseph Lee Utley, current Site owner, prior to performing an on-site inspection. A copy of the Request for Site Access Letter and follow-up communication logs are included as Appendix B Site Location The Site is located approximately 2.66 miles southeast of the intersection of Hillcrest Avenue and North Main Street in the Town of Goldston with a bearing of 110 degrees from true north. The Site location and the surrounding area are depicted in the various maps included with this report (Figures 1 through 4) General Site Description The Site is located in a rural area of southern Chatham County historically occupied by farmland. The Site is bordered to the north and south by a combination of cleared fields and undeveloped woodland and to the east and west by generally undeveloped woodland. The Site occupies an area of approximately 10.5 acres, according to the 2009 Property Report Card, and is generally rectangular. The disposal area occupies the western-most 2.37 acres of the Site, in an area of undeveloped woodland adjacent to deforested fields in the surrounding properties. The terrain within the Site slopes toward Cedar Branch, which flows to the south through the central portion of the Site, with a total relief of 55 feet from the west and 15 feet from the east. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service s Web Soil Survey, the soil within the majority of the Site is classified as Carbonton-Brickhaven complex, with Riverview silt loam in the vicinity of Cedar Branch, and Peawick fine sandy loam to the east.

7 3.2 SITE CONDITIONS Goldston Dump Chatham County, North Carolina NONCD May 7, 2010 The following sections discuss the conditions of the Site based on historical research and the site inspection. Captioned photographs are included in Appendix D to illustrate the condition of the Site as observed during the site visit that was performed on April 28, A copy of the Field Reconnaissance Sheet is included as Appendix E On-Site Structures No historical or current structures were observed on the Site or identified in historical aerial photography or topographic maps Current Site Usage The Site is currently undeveloped woodland and not used for any specific purpose On-Site Water Supply Wells and Intakes No on-site water supply wells were identified nor are thought to ever have been present at the Site Surface Water Features Cedar Branch flows to the south through the central portion of the Site (Figure 2). Cedar Branch represents the relative topographic low within the Site Disposal Area Based upon GPS mapping of the perimeter, personal interviews, and examination of maps and aerial photographs, the disposal area occupies approximately 2.37 acres of the 10.5-acre Site. The disposal area is located in the western-most portion of the Site in an area of undeveloped woodland adjacent to deforested fields on the surrounding properties Disposal Area Conditions The disposal area is vegetated by a mixture of pines and hardwoods and generally appears to have received adequate soil cover. However, debris was exposed on the surface (Photos 11, NCUL145/Goldston Dump 4

8 Goldston Dump Chatham County, North Carolina NONCD May 7, , 14-16, 19, 20, 23, & 24 in Appendix D) and was partially exposed in areas of presumably thinner soil cover (Photos 13, 17, 18, & 22 in Appendix D). Observed debris was composed primarily of tires (Photos 12, 14, & 16 in Appendix D), metal debris, and glass debris (Photos 13, 15-20, & in Appendix D). An abandoned mobile home/rv was observed on the western Site boundary (Photo 12 in Appendix D), along with a pile of discarded tires (Photo 13 in Appendix D). A linear ridge feature was observed running east-west through the disposal area and is presumed to be comprised of covered debris as evidenced by metal partially protruding from the surface (Photos 21 & 22 in Appendix D) Evidence of Human Activity There was no evidence of human activity associated with the Site Potential Landfill Gas Migration Pathways No potential landfill gas migration pathways were noted on-site. The disposal area does not contain any building foundations or underground utilities that would promote the migration of landfill gases Physical Barriers An unlocked steel cable across the Site access road off of St. Luke Church Road discourages, but does not prevent, vehicular access to the Site. The access road is extremely overgrown and does not appear to be maintained for vehicular traffic. No fencing or any other physical barrier was observed at the Site to prevent foot access from adjacent properties Other Pertinent Information Mounds of debris were observed along the Site access road. Debris observed in these mounds included recently discarded plastic, metal, treated wood, glass, and a toilet (Photos 2-4 & 9 in Appendix D), as well as historic debris comprised primarily of glass and metal (Photos 4-8 in Appendix D). All of the observed mounds were located on the property managed by R. Terry Bass, James C. Ransdell, Jr., and Robert L. Ransdell as trustees for the NCUL145/Goldston Dump 5

9 Goldston Dump Chatham County, North Carolina NONCD May 7, 2010 Ransdell Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (PIN: ), the billing address for which is listed as 6336 Dwight Rowland Road, Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, (Figure 2). 3.3 VICINITY CONDITIONS Structures Located within 50 Feet of the Disposal Area No current or historic structures were identified within 50 feet of the disposal area, based on the site visit and historical resources, which include aerial photography and topographic maps Water Supply Wells and Intakes No current structures were identified within 1,000 feet of the disposal area which would be supplied water. A single residence is thought to have been located approximately 700 feet northwest of the Site, but is no longer present. This structure may have been supplied by a well at one time. Figures 1 and 2 show the Site and disposal area relative to the vicinity. According to research on the NCDENR, Water Quality Division, Public Water Supply website, there are no permitted Well Head Protection Areas in the vicinity of the Site Current Land Usage Current land usage within 1,000 feet of the disposal area is as follows: North: The land to the north of the disposal area is occupied primarily by deforested fields with patches of undeveloped woodland. A dirt road runs from the northwest, providing access to the deforested fields adjacent to the Site. An unnamed intermittent stream flows from the north, converging with Cedar Branch approximately 580 feet north of the disposal area. South: Undeveloped woodland occupies the entirety of the 1,000-foot radius to the southwest of the disposal area. To the southeast of the disposal area, woodland extends for NCUL145/Goldston Dump 6

10 Goldston Dump Chatham County, North Carolina NONCD May 7, 2010 approximately 170 feet giving way to a cleared field. Cleared land occupies the majority of the 1,000-foot radius to the southeast of the disposal area, with patches of woodland throughout and farm structures located approximately 680 feet southwest of the disposal area. East: Undeveloped woodland occupies the entirety of the 1,000-foot radius to the east of the disposal area. Cedar Branch flows to the south approximately 270 feet east of the disposal area. West: A small cleared area lies adjacent to the western perimeter of the disposal area and extends for approximately 100 feet. Beyond this cleared area the land is wooded and undeveloped for the remainder of the 1,000-foot radius. The Site access road extends from St. Luke Church Road, through the wooded land, to the western perimeter of the disposal area Surface Water Features Cedar Branch flows from the north of the Site, converging with an unnamed intermittent stream approximately 680 feet north of the disposal area. Cedar Branch then flows through the central portion of the Site and continues to the south to eventually converge with Cedar Creek, approximately one mile south of the Site. Cedar Creek is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and is classified as Class C; High Quality Waters in Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 2 Subchapter B. 4.0 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW MM&A obtained aerial photographs from the Chatham County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Aerial Photography Field Office, National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) to provide information on the operational history of the dump and the development history of the vicinity. NCUL145/Goldston Dump 7

11 The source and year for the aerial photographs obtained are as follows: Goldston Dump Chatham County, North Carolina NONCD May 7, Chatham County SWCD, Frame AJR-4P-68 (H-18) 1966 Chatham County SWCD, Frame AJR-2HH-51 (H-19) 1979 Chatham County SWCD, Frame Chatham County SWCD, Frame USGS Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangle, Goldston, NC NW 2009 USDA, Aerial Photography Field Office, 2009 NAIP The aerial photographs listed above are included in Appendix F. Following is a summary of the observations made from the review of the aerial photography: In 1955, access to the Site was obtained from the same point along St. Luke Church Road, though the dirt road turned northward and entered the Site from the north rather than the south. The disposal area appears to have been disturbed, though for what purpose is unclear as the Town of Goldston had not yet purchased the Site. The remainder of the Site, as well as the majority of the vicinity, was wooded and undeveloped. A residence was located approximately 800 feet northwest of the Site and a second residence was located approximately 1,400 feet west of the Site. By 1966, the Town of Goldston had purchased the Site and dumping operations were likely underway. The disposal area had been cleared of vegetation and the access road had been moved to the south. The remainder of the Site and the vicinity were generally unchanged from the 1955 photograph. The residences to the northwest and west of the Site remained while the majority of the vicinity was undeveloped and wooded. In the 1979 photograph, the disposal area had been revegetated and dumping operations had ceased. The remainder of the Site was primarily wooded, though a new dirt road skirted the northeastern corner of the site, extending northward from Henry Oldham Road. A large area to the northeast of the disposal area had been cleared adjacent to the northern Site boundary, as had an area located approximately 700 feet south of the disposal area. The land to the northwest, west, and southeast remained generally unchanged from the 1966 photograph. No appreciable development occurred between 1979 and 1983 in the vicinity of the Site. NCUL145/Goldston Dump 8

12 Goldston Dump Chatham County, North Carolina NONCD May 7, 2010 The Site and disposal area remained wooded and undeveloped as did the majority of the vicinity. Cleared areas remained to the northeast and southwest and the residential structures remained to the northwest and west of the Site. By 1998, vegetation had returned to the areas to the northeast and southwest of the Site, which were likely cleared as part of logging operations, and the Site and disposal area remained wooded. The land to the northwest and west of the Site, likewise, remained wooded and the residential structures in the vicinity remained. To the south of the Site, a large area had been cleared from Henry Oldham Road to approximately 500 feet from the disposal area. In the 2009 aerial photograph, the land immediately north and northwest of the disposal area had been cleared. The Site access road had been largely vegetated and a dirt road approached the Site from the northwest. Additional clearing had occurred north of Henry Oldham Road and extended to approximately 160 feet south of the disposal area and farm structures had been erected approximately 680 feet southwest of the disposal area. The structures formerly located to the northwest and west of the Site had been removed, though the dirt roads providing access to their former locations remained. The 2009 aerial photograph is generally representative of current conditions at the Site and in the vicinity. NCUL145/Goldston Dump 9

Mr. Joel Brower with the Town of Siler City suggested that Mr. Cunnup, as Mayor and a real estate person, may have some insight on the location of the Site. -AEH 11/05/ :15 Mr. Cunnup has only been a resident of Goldston since 1991, so he was unfamiliar with landfills in the 1970s. However, he would be happy to chat with some local contacts to see if he can find out any details about the site location. He was familiar with the area that was indicated, so he said that he would see what he can find out. I will send him an with the 1973 file indicating the location as well as the NCDENR letter detailing the project. -AEH 11/06/ :00 Mr. Cunnup had spoken to a 28-year veteran of his board and a 50+ year local. They told him that the "town dump" had been about 3 miles out of town, head south on St. Lukes Church Rd. There will be a community center on the left (thinks it's called McLaughlin Center). Immediately after the center, there was a road to the left, either a driveway or a logging road. The dump was back that way. They suspect it is all wooded. He indicated that the town may have owned it at the time. He was going to check with his clerk. She has been the clerk for many years now and may remember. If they did own it, there may be a file or two about it. He was going to check with her to see if he could gather any more information. -AEH 11/17/ :40 The town clerk had no luck in going through the old files but found no details. He did speak with Ronnie Gaines who was on the board during the time of dumping operations. Mr. Cunnup has cleared it with Mr. Gaines that it would be find to call to chat with him for more details I asked for clarification on the previous directions. He indicated that the road might actually be the driveway for the McLaughlin Center. As he was told, the road went past that building, to an old house, then curved to the right.
