SITE SUMMARY

1.0 SITE CONDITIONS

This section discusses the observed conditions on the Site, as defined as the property (Tax Parcel

7569-00-52-7436) on which the Disposal Area is located. The Disposal Area is defined as the

area observed or reported to have been used for waste placement or burial. The boundary

(perimeter) of this area is the observed limit based on Soils Investigation for Wayne Ingram at an

Old Burn Pit Site in Biscoe, NC report by Environmental Engineering Services (EES), 2007,

provided to Schnabel Engineering by Mr. Wayne Ingram, property owner (Appendix F). The site

visit was conducted on February 3, 2010. Photographs illustrating site conditions are included in

Appendix D.

The Site is located in Montgomery County, near Biscoe, NC. Driving directions to the Site from

the intersection of US 220 and NC Highway 24/27 are as follows:

1. Proceed west on NC Highway 24/27 (East Main Street) and drive approximately 0.7

miles.

2. Turn right onto US-220 Alt (North Main Street) and drive approximately 0.9 miles.

3. Turn left onto Shady Oak Drive and take an immediate right onto the gravel driveway

after the railroad tracks. The entrance to the Site is through the fescue grass field to the

north.

1.1 On-site Structures

No on-site buildings or other structures were observed during the site visit.

1.2 Current Site Usage

According to Mr. Wayne Ingram, property owner, the Site is used for growing fescue grass and

there are no future plans for development.


4

1.3 On-Site Water Supply Wells and Intakes

No on-site water supply wells were observed on the Site during the site visit. No water meters or

fire hydrants were observed on the Site during the site visit.

1.4 Surface Water Features

A pond approximately 0.45 acres in size is located within 50 feet of the Disposal Area. The

pond is surrounded by thick brush, briars, and pine trees and deciduous trees approximately two

inches to five inches in diameter.

1.5 Disposal Area

Access to the Disposal Area is from a gravel driveway off of Shady Oak Drive and through the

fescue grass field (Photo 1). Mr. Wayne Ingram, property owner, accompanied Schnabel staff on

the Disposal Area visit. The Disposal Area occupies 0.5 acres based on the estimated Disposal

Area perimeter shown on Figures 1 through 3.

The ground surface of the Disposal Area slopes uniformly toward the north. A comparison was

made of the topography from the 1983 USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle map (10 foot

contours, based on 1977) and the 2008 topographic map from NCDOT (4 foot contours).

Topographic lines in undisturbed or undeveloped areas of the two maps did not correlate well so

the maps could not be used to estimate the amount of fill or other topographic changes on the

Site.

The approximate Disposal Area perimeter is illustrated on the figures and on aerial photographs

in Appendix E. A table of GPS coordinates for the Site entrance and the Site perimeter is

presented in Table 1. The Disposal Area perimeter location is approximate and is based on the


5

reported findings from EES, 2007. Figures 4 and 5 show LiDAR shaded relief superimposed on

the Disposal Area.

1.6 Disposal Area Conditions

The Disposal Area was covered with fescue grass. Exposed bricks were observed on the

Disposal Area (Photo 4).

The observed Disposal Area was on Tax Parcel 7569-00-52-7436. The perimeter of the Disposal

Area was not visually evident at the time of the site visit.

Shallow hummocky topography was observed on the southern portion of the Disposal Area. No

notable erosion, depressions, offensive odors, stained or discolored soils, or slope failures were

observed during the site visit.

1.7 Evidence of Human Activity

Mr. Wayne Ingram, property owner, stated that fescue grass is grown on the Disposal Area.

1.8 Potential Landfill Gas Migration Pathways

There were no visible or evident potential gas migration pathways such as stormwater drain

systems, underground utilities, septic systems, or drain fields observed on the Disposal Area or

on the Site.

1.9 Physical Barriers

Site access is provided by a gravel driveway from Shady Oak Drive and then through the fescue

grass field.

1.10 Other Pertinent Information

Some history of the Site was obtained during conversations with persons familiar with the Site.

The information obtained indicates that:

Mr. David Asbill, Superintendent Public Works Department for the Town of Biscoe, was

aware of the location of the Hurley’s Dump.

Mr. Asbill said Hurley’s Dump was between the towns of Biscoe and Star and was

located across US-220 Alt from the Food King grocery store. He stated that the Site is an

agricultural field.

Mr. Asbill did not know if the Town of Biscoe or the Town of Star used the Dump

because it was in operation before he was born.

Mr. Asbill did not know the dates of operation.

Mr. Asbill stated that yarn and cloth from the Morgan and Jones Mill was placed in the

Dump and he remembers seeing paper, cans, and bottles at the Site. He does not think

that hazardous materials (oil, paint, or gas) were placed at the Site.

Mr. Asbill stated that the Town of Biscoe does not have any records pertaining to

Hurley’s Dump. He said that he has asked other town officials about records pertaining to

the Site and they do not know of any records for the Hurley’s Dump.

Mr. Asbill stated that everyone he knows who may know something about that Site has

passed away. Schnabel asked him about Mr. Bobby Myrick (owner of Myrick

Construction Inc, located just south of the Site) and Mr. Asbill stated that Mr. Myrick has

lived in the area his whole life.

Mr. Bobby Myrick, Myrick Construction Inc., was aware of the location of the Hurley’s

Dump. He stated that the dump was located on Mr. Wayne Ingram’s property.

Mr. Myrick stated that the Towns of Biscoe and Star used the Hurley’s Dump because it

was centrally located between the towns.

Mr. Myrick stated that the Dump was operating about 50 years ago and it opened and

closed within a short amount of time.


7

Mr. Myrick stated that household waste was placed in Hurley’s Dump and that the

Morgan and Jones Mill also used that Dump to dispose of yarn and cloth. He was

interested in buying that property at one time, but remembered that the Dump was there

and decided against buying that land.

Mr. Wayne Ingram, property owner, was aware that the Hurley’s Dump was located on

his property.

Mr. Ingram gave verbal permission to access his property and would accompany

Schnabel staff on the site visit.

Mr. Ingram stated that the dump was small. He said that the Deed indicates 8 acres, but

the dumping site was not that large.

Mr. Ingram informed Schnabel staff that an environmental report was conducted on this

Site in 2007 by Environmental Engineering Services (EES).

Mr. Ingram showed Schnabel staff the location of the Disposal Area. He said that fescue

grass is grown on the Disposal Area.

Mr. Ingram provided Schnabel with some history of the Site. He said that a pit was

excavated to a depth of about 3 feet to 4 feet and textile material from Springs Mill (prior

name was Morgan and Jones Mill) was placed in a pit and burned. Springs Mill later

closed in 2000.

Mr. Ingram stated that the town did not use this Disposal Area for dumping and

hazardous material was not reportedly dumped or encountered in the pit.

Mr. Ingram stated that the nearby residences are served by a public water supply.

Mr. Ingram stated that he will likely remove the debris material from the Site and dispose

of it properly.

The EES report, Soils Investigation for Wayne Ingram at an Old Burn Pit Site in Biscoe, NC,

reported the following:

EES excavated test pits and encountered charcoal material, glass, and metal debris in the

pit. The pit was surrounded by demolition material consisting of concrete, wood, wire,

glass, plastic sheeting, tin, and metal bars to the west, east and south. The debris material

was approximately 2 feet to 3 feet in thickness. The entire Disposal Area was not


8

uncovered in the investigation, but limits of the Disposal Area were estimated to be

approximately 115 feet by 105 feet.

EES collected a soil sample from the below the burn pit and a pit debris sample at the

Site. The samples were tested for pesticides, herbicides, hydrocarbon, and RCRA metals

consisting of arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver

(see page 8 of the EES report). No pesticides or herbicides were detected in the soil

sample from below the burn pit. Diesel and gasoline were not found in the soil sample

below the burn pit, but small amounts of diesel type organics were found in the pit debris

sample at 45.2 mg/kg. This was possibly from the burning of debris within the pit

because evidence that the pit was used to dispose of oil, fuels, or solvents was not

encountered. The results from the RCRA metals analysis (see Table 3, page 9 of the EES

report) detected higher concentrations of metals from the pit debris sample than the soil

sample from below the burn pit. The soil below the burn pit was likely impacted from the

burning of debris, but this impact was relatively low.

Notes from conversations with people familiar with the site are included in Appendix C. The

information obtained from these conversations has not been verified or confirmed.
