SITE SUMMARY

1.0 SITE CONDITIONS

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

4960-00-05-3331) 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 of waste material based on field observations.

Photographs illustrating site conditions are included in Appendix D.

The Site is located in Yadkin County, near Jonesville, NC. Driving directions to the Site from the

intersection of Interstate 77 North and US Highway 21 is as follows:

1) Take US Highway 21 (Main Street) north toward Jonesville and drive approximately 2.5

miles.

2) Arlington First Baptist Church is located on the right at 345 South Main Street.

1.1 On-site Structures

The Arlington First Baptist Church and three garages are located on the Site. The church is

located about 175 feet northwest of the Disposal Area. The church is in an apparent up-gradient

direction from the Disposal Area.

1.2 Current Site Usage

According to Mr. Bryan Wyatt, Church Grounds Manager, the Site is used by Arlington First

Baptist Church. The church also allows the Town of Jonesville to dispose of concrete and asphalt

on the Disposal Area.

1.3 On-Site Water Supply Wells and Intakes

No on-site water supply wells were observed on the Site during the site visit. A water meter was

observed on the Site during the site visit. No fire hydrants were observed on the Site during the

site visit.


During the site visit, surface water features were not observed on the Site.

1.5 Disposal Area

Access to the Disposal Area is from the Arlington First Baptist Church parking lot. The Disposal

Area occupies 0.3 acres based on the Disposal Area perimeter shown on Figures 1 through 3.

The Disposal Area generally slopes to the south. A comparison of the topography from the 1966

USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle map (20 foot contours) with the 2005 topographic map

from NCDOT (20 foot contours) suggests that up to about 10 feet of material has been placed on

the southwest side of the Disposal Area. These estimated depths are approximate and differences

in scale and methods of mapping are not sufficient to evaluate some changes in topography.

GPS coordinates were taken of the Disposal Area perimeter. 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 visual observations made at the time of

the site visit. Figures 4 and 5 show LiDAR shaded relief superimposed on the Disposal Area.

1.6 Disposal Area Conditions

The Disposal Area was covered with grass, vines, briars, and small trees. A landfill slope was

observed on the southeastern side of the Disposal Area. Visible debris, including concrete,

asphalt, tires, furniture, and white goods, were observed on the landfill slope.

The observed Disposal Area was on a single tax parcel, Parcel Number 4960-00-05-3331. The

boundaries of the Disposal Area were visible during the site visit.

No notable erosion, depressions or hummocky topography, offensive odors, stained or discolored

soils, or slope failures were observed during the site visit.

1.7 Evidence of Human Activity

According to Mr. Bryan Wyatt, Church Grounds Manager, waste disposal of concrete and

asphalt still occurs on the Disposal Area (Photos 3 and 5).

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

Access to the Site is from the Arlington First Baptist Church parking lot. The Disposal Area is

difficult to enter from the south due to dense vegetation.

2.0 VICINITY CONDITIONS

This section describes the observed general conditions in the vicinity of the Site, as defined as an

area within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of the Disposal Area. Photographs illustrating vicinity

conditions are included in Appendix D.

2.1 Structures Located on Adjacent Properties

Structures described in this section are located on adjacent properties that have a shared property

boundary with the Site.

Several residences on multiple tax parcels are located to the north, west, and south of the Site.

Two residences on separate tax parcels border the perimeter of the Site to the east. The Arlington

Fire & Rescue (Tax Parcels 4960-09-05-1557, 4960-09-05-0697, 4960-00-05-3716, 4960-09-05-

1488) is adjacent to the Site to the north. These structures are shown on Figure 2 and on aerial

photographs in Figures E1 through E4 in Appendix E.

2.2 Water Supply Wells and Intakes

Water supply wells or well houses were not observed at residences along South Main Street and

East Bend Boulevard within a 1,000-foot radius of the Disposal Area. Water meters were

observed in the yards of several of the residences and fire hydrants were observed within 1,000

feet of the Site.

The nearest public water supply registered on the NCDENR Public Water Supply Section’s

database (as of January 2008) is a public water supply well located at Fall Creek Baptist Church

3380 Fall Creek Church Road, Jonesville, NC 28642. This location is ¾ of a mile in an apparent

up-gradient direction from the Site. The location and permit number for this well are shown on

Figure 1.

3.0 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW

Aerial photographs were reviewed for the years 1966, 1975 and 2007. The reported years of

operation of the Site were from 1960 to 1972. Observations of each of the photographs are

included in the following table. Copies of the aerial photographs are included in Appendix E.

Some aerial photographs are reproductions of original aerial photographs and have some

distortion; therefore, overlaid Disposal Area Boundaries and other features may vary from their

actual locations. Hand drawn lines and notations on the photographs denote soils mapping

information drawn on the original photographs by the USDA NRCS.

Flight Year Observations Source

1966 Disposal Area partially cleared. The Arlington First Baptist

Church is visible on the central part of the Site. The Site

appears to be wooded and undeveloped in the northern part

and along the southern and eastern perimeters. Residences are

present to the north, south, and west of the Site. Two

residences are present to the east of the Site perimeter.
